The best view and the best home cooking in Lisbon can be enjoyed at Ristorante Ponto Final. Take the 10-minute ferry ride across the Tagus from Cais de Sodre to Cacilhas then swing right, past the fishermen, towards the ocean. The catch of the day, served with Alentejo bread and wine for €15 is a delight, especially if you get there early and grab a table outside.

Das Flores: There’s not much variety in this tiny Chiado tasca, but everything will be tasty, whether it’s stewed, pan-fried, or deep-fried.

BEST SUNSET spot in town In Belém, the Champalimaud Centre is a biomedical research facility with a waterfront restaurant with modern interior design – Darwin’s Café. The simple name belies its minimalist design and well-presented dishes. On a hot day, choose a table out on the terrace to enjoy lunch with a crisp glass of wine, a view across to the Torre de Belem and a welcome breeze from the Tagus. Excellent plates include risotto of shrimp and octopus with dried tomatoes, pesto and coriander

Great Vegetarian The Food Temple is a small, hard-to-find vegetarian/vegan restaurant in the gorgeous medieval Mouraria neighbourhood. It serves delicious, good-value tapas-style meals and the (creative) menu changes frequently. The plates are around €4 and there are also delicious desserts. More than the food here though, the atmosphere of the place is wonderful. You can sit at a table or on outdoor steps where people mill around and order food and eat alfresco (they double as seating for live music events). The atmosphere is relaxed and romantic.

The mix of food, drinks and atmosphere make Terra in Principe Real an ideal place to chill out after wandering around Lisbon. It’s got an atmospheric garden area and a great choice of vegetarian or vegan starters, mains and desserts on the €15.90 buffet selection. We have visited Terra a few times now and don’t have favourite dishes – we just dive in and enjoy.

Lisbon comes out to party at the end of the day, on the streets of Bairro Alto and Cais do Sodré. It starts by dining late and bar-hopping through the night, mixing different tribes of locals and tourists of all ages and lifestyles, who get together for conversation and drinking on the streets, creating an improvised street party every Friday and Saturday night.

Every nook of this former grocery store and woodworking shop is filled with the owner’s personal items, including model trains, antique mugs, china teapots, ceramic bulls, silver bowls and thousands of miniature soldiers.

The Lx Factory complex was first taken over by small businesses and creative professionals, then came the shops and cafés, and even a small market on Sundays.

Built in 1553, the Church of São Roque (St. Roch) is one of Lisbon's most magnificent monuments, due to its historical significance and artistic richness. A plain façade hides a rich interior, including the exuberant Chapel of St. John the Baptist, considered "the world's most expensive chapel." Built in Rome between 1742 and 1747, using the most precious materials, it was transported to Lisbon on three ships. It's now the fourth chapel on the left when facing the main altar, and is a true masterpiece of European art, mixing ivory, agate, lapis lazuli and gold.
