Barcelona
Lisbon
Can Eusebio
€15
(
84
Carrer de Vilá i Vilá
)
Locals prop up
the bar, taking full advantage of the €1 cañas (beers), while a mix
of hipsters and Erasmus students eat dirt-cheap tapas at the
tables. A scattering of rustic implements is thrown in for good
measure.
Moo
Exclusive
(
265
Carrer Rosselló, tel: 93 445
4000
)
The sleek restaurant of the Hotel Omm, Moo is a see-
and-be-seen affair where diners are given a choice of à la carte
or different set menus: the gourmet, seasonal and chef's tasting
menu. Seabass with yoghurt, asparagus and lemon-peel skin is
one delicacy on the latter.
Ambar
(
77
Carrer Sant Pau
)
With its antique shop-chic
décor and friendly neighbourhood vibe, this small bar in
Raval is a good place to rub shoulders with the city's cool
cats before heading onto later/louder venues nearby.
Barcelona's harbour got a serious revamp for the '92
Olympics and the resulting
Port Vell
is a popular spot
with great seafood restaurants. If you're in town on
Christmas day, laugh at those taking part in the annual
harbour swim at noon.

Casa do Alentejo
€30
(
58
Rua Portas de Santo Antão,
tel: 21 340 5140
)
Built in styles that range from neo-Moorish
to Louis XV, you could make the trip here for the building
alone. But the traditional, hearty Alentejo dishes aren't
bad either.
Fortaleza do Guincho
Exclusive
(
Estrada
do Guincho, Cascais, tel: 21 487 0491
)
Overlooking the
crashing waves of Guincho Beach (

),
this Michelin-
feted restaurant has French cuisine with Portuguese and
Mediterranean influences.
Discoteca Trumps
(
104
B Rua da Imprensa Nacional,
Principe Real, tel: 21 397 1059
)
This hetero-friendly gay
club has long been one of Lisbon's most popular. The two
dancefloors and various bars attract a mix of age groups.
Music lovers, listen up! On the 18th, Swedish House Mafia
are playing at the
Atlantic Auditorium
(
pavilhaoatlantico.
pt
)
and on the 21st there's a choral concert at the
Gulbenkian Foundation
with a programme of Bach and
Mozart (
