Similar to the breakfast in 2015: Lobby Bistro @ Sheraton Lisbon (8. January 2023)

It’s a couple of years ago (2015) since I’ve last had breakfast at the Sheraton Lisbon, but in my memory it looked still exactly the same as back then. And you can find everything you need and want here like a vegan corner … … a selection of pastries … … cereals … … bacon, […]

A delicious dining experience at No. 46 of the World’s 50 Best – but not as great as in 2014: Restaurant Belcanto (7. January 2022)

A delicious dining experience at No. 46 of the World’s 50 Best – but not as great as in 2014: Restaurant Belcanto (7. January 2022)

Last time I was at the Belcanto in 2014, it had just been nominated No. 98 of the World’s 50 Best. Since then it has gained one Michelin star (to a total of two) and climbed up to No. 46 in the world. Hence, I was relatively curious to experience it again, and hopefulyl better […]

A decent executive lounge replacement: Lobby Bar @ Sheraton Lisbon (7. January 2023)

A decent executive lounge replacement: Lobby Bar @ Sheraton Lisbon (7. January 2023)

After an almost three-hours drive through Portugal and especially Lisbon, which is quite nerve-wrecking, I was more than happy to have dropped my rental car and arrive at the hotel. And luckily, at 5pm, it was time for the daily snacks in the Lobby Bar (which also turned out to be the Executive Lounge). Compared […]

Vegan isn’t so bad after all: Restaurant Veganapati (23. June 2019)

Whenever someone takes me to a vegan restaurant I put my expectations at the lowest level possible as I believe you’re just missing out on things in terms of nutrients when you don’t eat any meat or diary products. Said that, I followed the rest of the group and gave in to visiting a vegan […]

Lovely shisha place where you’d not expect it: Cocktail & Shisha Bar & Lounge (22. June 2019)

I did not expect to find a decent shisha place in Lisbon but was actually lucky enough to do exactly that. The “cocktail & shisha bar & lounge” was already super crowded when we had arrived around 10pm. And interestingly enough people kept coming and were sent away because the place was packed. The place […]

Nice average Portuguese restaurant: Restaurant Optimista (22. June 2019)

Nice average Portuguese restaurant: Restaurant Optimista (22. June 2019)

I found the Optimista on TripAdvisor as one of the better restaurants in Lisbon, so I decided to give it a try. The take a cover charge of EUR 3.50 for some bread, olives, olive oil and spread. While I would usually say that this is a bit of a rip-off, I think it’s okay […]

Lovely little wine bar where you need a reservation: By the Wine Bar (22. June 2016)

What I like about Google Maps is the fact that their ratings are generally quite reliable. I was looking for a bar which was in walking distance to the restaurant where we’d go later. And the “by the wine” bar popped up. The place was – no surprise there – super crowded and we were […]

Quite a typical tourist trap: Restaurant Esplanada do Cantinho (22. June 2019)

Quite a typical tourist trap: Restaurant Esplanada do Cantinho (22. June 2019)

We ended up in the “Esplanada do Cantinho” because we needed to drink something and a bio break. Given the weather was nice and we were able to sit outside while sipping our “jar of Sangria” (EUR 16.80), we eventually got hungry and went for the “little fried sardines” (EUR 7.90). While I had asked […]
