What people say

Ariel Blakeman
"Tasca da Esquina, where you’ll find three renowned chefs (Vítor Sobral, Hugo Nascimento and Luís Espadana), is located in Campo de Ourique in a warm, friendly, comfortable and well organized space, and promises to make those who choose it for a meal come back for more. At Tasca da Esquina there's typical Portuguese appetizers that remind us of mom and home sweet home, but it’s easy to see that in every dish, a very modern and extremely challenging signature cuisine is the star – these aren’t just simple snacks, they’re well thought out and well made dishes that provide an unforgettable dining experience, with an accompanying wine list that is quite complete."

"Modern cuisine with roots in traditional Portuguese cooking is what you come to this eatery in the neighborhood of Campo de Ourique for. Tasca da Esquina was created by celebrity chef Vítor Sobral, one of the key players in the reinvention of Portuguese gastronomy in recent years. The restaurant is famous for petiscos, that is, small servings of food, ideal for sharing. You can opt for a tasting menu with these small platters, which will put your mouth in good hands – the Chef’s hands! Besides the lovely food, Tasca da Esquina’s wine list is quite extensive and features plenty of choices of wine by the glass."

Complete guide with attractions and venues where to eat/drink, get those very special souvenirs from (bespoke & local brands and markets) and catch a beautiful sight…or just your breath after walking up and down the hills of this marvellous city. Lisbon is all about art, colors, architecture and GOOD vibes! 🇵🇹💚 💡General tip: combine Lisbon with visits/stays in Sintra and Porto. Highlights: 🚋 Trams - The Lisbon tramway network is a system of trams in operation since 1873; it presently comprises six lines and has a length of 31 km with 63 trams in operation (45 historic "Remodelados", 8 historic "Ligeiros" and 10 modern articulated trams). Tram 28 is famous because happens to go past many of the city's most significant landmarks in districts like Alfama, Baixa and Estrela. Because the route also uses some heritage-style tram carriages, it has become a popular tourist attraction in the city. 💠 Azulejos - is a form of Spanish and Portuguese painted tin-glazed ceramic tilework. Azulejos happen to be one of the most distinctive art forms in Portugal and are found on the interior and exterior of churches, palaces, ordinary houses, schools, and nowadays, restaurants, bars and even railways or subway stations. 🧼 Soaps - Oprah Winfrey said they're one of her favorite things, so the world is now also a fan of Portuguese soaps. But they're not recent products. They've been made since the 1800s and are 100% natural. They've maintained beautiful Art Deco and Art Nouveau packagings from the 1920s, and have become one of the favorite gifts to take from Portugal. 🥮 Pastel de nata - is a Portuguese egg custard tart pastry, optionally dusted with cinnamon - looks like a cross between a custard tart and a cake; created by monks in the Jerónimos Monastery, a major tourist attraction today and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 🍲You also have to try these traditional dishes: Bifana, Sardines, Caracoletas & Prego na Pao, Alheira de Mirandela, Queijadas. 🧉Ginja - also known as ginjinha. This sour cherry liqueur is a tourist favorite but has sweetened locals’ palates for a long time too. There are establishments in Lisbon entirely dedicated to selling this sweet beverage made with Morello cherries, a variety of spices, and plenty of sugar. Nowadays, ginja is also served in edible chocolate cups. While you may choose among white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate, dark chocolate does indeed pair beautifully with the super sweet, almost syrupy drink.
