We love Lisbon! The temperature, the tiles, the friendly people and the food, it was our favourite European city this time.
We checked into Baixa House, which was in a super convenient location down by the water. It's a block of 13 cutely decorated apartments, each named after after a different park in Lisbon.
Baixa House was everything you could ask for while staying abroad. It was well priced, clean, big, beautifully designed and it felt like you lived there. You never saw staff but somehow your room was kept clean and every day at 8am fresh bread was hung on your door and the fridge was filled with house made jams, cheese and muesli pots.
Lisbon was one place where every meal we had was great! The seafood was fresh, the cocktails were cold, the natural wine was epic and even the coffee was pretty damn good.
It goes without saying that you will and should eat many Portuguese tarts. The original cafe to get these is called Pasteis De Belem and they say these are the best. However when we turned up there was a line around the block. Not one to wait in a queue, we ditched it and went to a cafe a few doors up and they were amazing. In fact, every tart we ate was.
This was an interesting but excellent experience. Be prepared to wait for an hour or so, but while you are waiting have a few 2€ handy. There is an outdoor beer machine that will keep you occupied and hydrated while you are listening out for your number to be called.
Don't expect any greenery here, the only thing you can order is seafood. They also supply the table with buttery garlic bread that's perfect for mopping up the sauce from your delicious prawns and lobster.
Slightly on the finer side, Prado is well known for their paddock-to-plate style dishes and natural wine selection. The decor is minimal but well thought out, the food was creative and the service was very attentive.
If you don't feel like dining in, just around the corner is Prado Mercearia where you can buy fresh produce, wine and goodies to take away.
