A Small Guide to Lisbon

A Small Guide to Lisbon

A small but very nice guide to Lisbon by Delaranja. A very personal guide on how to get around Lisbon, where to go and what to eat. And I agree with everything Andre writes.

Pasteis de Belem

www.pasteisdebelem.pt
Rua de Belem 84-92, 1300-085 Lisboa

Traditional Portuguese 'pastelaria' since 1873. The original.

Delicious 'pastéis de nata' in a nice cafe among blue 'azulejos'. These small cakes are served still warm and you eat them with some cinnamon on top. Delicious! A 'bica' (espresso) or 'galao' (cafe latte) goes well along the pasteis.

Make sure to take away a box of six 'pasteis' for those left behind at home.

Casanova

Cais da Pedra, Loja 7 , Doca do Jardim do Tabaco, Alfama, Lisboa, t 21 887 7532

Very hip Italian restaurant directly at the river Tejo. Young and informal audience and always crowded, you might need to queue for a while, but pizza and the view on the river are worth the wait.

To call a waiter you have to switch on the red bulb that hangs above every table.
