Julie and I have just booked a girls’ weekend in Lisbon for the August bank holiday. We need some recommendations for where/what to eat and drink. Here’s what I’m looking for…
1. The cutest, nicest food market in Lisbon. Good photo opps preferred.
2. The perfect outdoor picnic locale. A place where the rest of Lisbon picnics. Plus what we should buy at the market for our Portuguese picnic.
3. A few lunch locales. I’m thinking friendly, casual, decently priced. Sunny. A place where we can spend a couple of hours writing postcards, meeting random locals, etc.
4. A few dinner locales. Nothing that will break the bank. I’m thinking a super-friendly place where we probably need a booking, where the tables are crammed together and locals will overhear us talking and adopt us for the rest of the evening. This may be a pipe dream, but it’s happened before so I remain optimistic. Also, someplace close to post-dinner drink locales. We are not clubbers. We are loungers.
5. A good place to sample many different varieties of Portuguese wine and port. Do tasting rooms exist?
Many thanks.
