In the run up to EXD’09 expect to see posts of places of interest in Lisbon… especially for biennale visitors.. oh for locals too, just in case you’ve forgotten how fabulous the city is.

The Lisboetas enjoy good food - slowly - accompanied by fine wine and sparkling company. So it is only fitting that the LISBON series kicks off with the mention of restaurants that the team rates highly.

We welcome your comments -
Fusion restaurant, Bica do Sapato on Avenida Infante Dom Henrique (+351 218810320). Try the clams downstairs or the sushi upstairs. Oh! and don’t forget to order a Morangoska at the bar while you wait for your table.

Pap’ Açorda (+351213464811) this delightful little chandelier clad restaurant on Rua da Atalaia is good for pricey traditional Portuguese food - don’t leave without a splat of the chocolate mousse.

Or for something a little more relaxed try Santo Antonio de Alfama (+351218881328) - a quaint treat in the heart of Alfama. Dine tapa style with Aubergine, Garlic prawns, Gorgonzola mushrooms… Don’t mind the laundry!
