1 Jesus é Goês
€
€€€
(
23 Rua de Sao Jose, +351 211 545
812
) This cheerful, bright-orange Goan restaurant will add
a bit of spice to your life with authentic dishes cooked by
native chef Jesus Lee. Try the
xec-xec de carangueijo
(crab
in coconut gravy) or the goat biryani, though not before
ordering a Goan-gin and tonic to cool down the heat.
2 Gambrinus
€€€€
(
23 Portas de Santo Antão, +351 213
421 466
) A hushed atmosphere greets you inside the rich,
wood-panelled interior of Lisbon’s third-oldest restaurant.
Gambrinus specialises in (and puts on display) superior-
quality seafood and game. Don’t let its location on this
touristy, pedestrianised street fool you. Excellent attention
to detail in service and presentation make this a dining
experience to remember.
3 Mercearia Tosca
(
72 Rua Nova do Carvalho, +351 213
429 265
) Big bubbles from a machine by the doorway are
blown overhead as you sip your €1.50 glass of Alentejo
red at this small and cosy bar. An intimate set-up inside
created with wine-barrel tables, helps you to unwind over
Lisbon
traditional snacks, local wines and spirits.
4 Primeiro Andar
(
110 Rua das Portas de Santo Antao,
+351 21 3 461 327
) Unless you know where you’re going,
you’ll never accidentally stumble across this lively and
hip bar located inside an old gym. Grab a balcony seat
or mingle with locals while nodding your head to a live
lounge band or trip-hop DJ set.

The sprawling, red-brick
Museum of Electricity
on
the Belem district riverfront, a power plant in its previous
life, isn’t just for kids. Grown ups will also find themselves
absorbed by the abundance of historical and scientific
information. Interactive exhibits about Portugal’s progress
as a green-energy leader are also fun.

A unique view needs a unique seat, and that’s exactly
what
Jardim do Torel
provides. Relax on the personal-
sized bench complete with wooden foot-rest, and savour
one of the most striking vistas of the city and Tejo River.
If peckish, head to the kiosk at the entrance for a good
choice of tasty treats.
