Wonderful airport lounge to rest at in Lisbon…read more Tejo Lounge is nestled away from the bustle of Lisbon Airport an escalator ride up from the full capacity seating before the boarding gates. This is TAP Air Portugal's flagship lounge in the Schengen area for domestic and EU flights. It was perfect for a layover before our Porto flight. The lounge is bright and spacious with plenty of seating and two areas to grab drinks, one in the buffet area and another on the other side with bar service as well as espresso machines. The buffet food options were plentiful and changed throughout the day. There are also yogurts, fruits, soft drinks and meat platters for a quick fill-up. In the morning layover, we enjoyed milky scrambled egg, local ham and sausage along with decent pastel da nata as our first local try of the famous Portuguese egg custard pastry. Before a subsequent return flight, the lunch option included pasta, caldo verde soup, sliced chorizo, traditional chickpea stew and a variety of fried items including the cod fritters. It was a nice variety even if I wished the fritters were warm. Many of the table seats have charging outlets for convenient recharge and the lounge includes its own wifi login for better speeds. There are even 6 shower rooms to freshen up from your last flight. The lounge was kept quite clean and there were a huge set of staff working the back kitchen as well as polite staff who restocked the buffet. A key advice if you are catching a non-Schengen international flight, the display boards inside the lounge prompt to leave 2 h ahead of departure. This is because Passport Controls especially with kids can be stuck in the long lineups. Tejo lounge is after security but before passports to get to the non-Schengen gates, and your safer bet may be TAP's Atlantico lounge instead in that area. Skip it or hit it? Tejo is definitely a lounge worth visiting if you have premium TAP airport access.

They had cakes (decent) and Portuguese pastries. Still much better than most American lounges. Staff was working to clean and stock. Not bad place at all. The lounge has its own bathrooms a few with showers.

They have a large beer can list if your favorite style is not on tap. I liked the indoor cave like vibe. Chill atmosphere.

Sunset complete and still some time until my dinner, I found Outro Lado thanks to the magic of…read moreYelp. Open at the right time and with only a few folks inside, I was able to review the current drafts, make a selection and enjoy my beer for a bit. Outro Lado has a free wifi and that was awesome for adding more bookmarks for my expiration of Lisbon this weekend. As for the beer? I wanted something local-ish and while I ended up with a Czech microbrew, at least it wasn't one of those big macrobrews. A bunch of interesting options - Spiced Brown Ale, Pear Imperial Gose, Hefeweissbier, Pastry Sour (what?) - and I managed to drop myself into the one that is 11.6% abv and got quite ready for dinner. Comfy spot, lots of neat seating, many different beer options. A perfect spot to pregame or postgame or just hang out. [Review 16579 overall - 97 in Portugal - 89 of 2022.]

If you are tired of the pathetic choice of Sagres and Super Bock, and yearn for something…read moredifferent, especially something darker and more flavorful, then you have to head to this place. This place has quite a nice selection of beer, for a small store. Mostly European, and I was excited to see all the BrewDog from Scotland and Mikkeller from Denmark. Also surprised to see many Rogue Ale's beers, even on draft as well. There is a shelf for Portuguese craft, some from Lisbon. The girl working there, Ann Marie, is the best. She's really knowledgeable about the beer. When I asked her about a label, she'd tell me - their best beer is XXX, which I don't have right now, but of the two I have, this one is better. She is honest about her opinion - they waited six month to get this beer, she was really excited to try it but felt rather let down. She also enjoys giving trivia - the label Electric Nurse from Denmark comes from the occupations of the founders - one is an electrician and the other a nurse. She lets me sample the draft before deciding which one I want. Last but not least, she is diligent with regular sampling of the beer to ensure quality. ; ) The place has a relaxed vibe, with some games and books for entertainment. We just sat at the bar and chatted with locals, about beer, food, and everything. A really lovely way to spend an afternoon of our vacation, rather than hurrying around like crazy tourists. If you prefer, Praça Das Flores is just across the street, a park where you can totally enjoy a little corner of nature. Beers are not cheap here. The bottles costs over €3 each, and drafts mostly €4-6. Whereas a Sagres usually costs me €2 or so. However, if you don't feel it's worth paying extra to support craft and quality beer, then by all means stay with your Super Bock.

I've been visiting since they opened, which was well before the surge of Portuguese craft beer…read more Now they carry more Portuguese beers and a really good number on tap. My only wish is that these is more of a way to help navigate the canned selection. I know a lot about beer but it's hard to decide on these because there isn't much in the way of write ups, just suggestions from whomever is there working or drinking. I normally stick with the tap, in general. I suggest taking the drinks out by the park on nice days. I really like this little area.

Rui and his wife are a fantastic husband and wife team who truly want to share the Portuguese culinary experience with you, and it's abundantly clear the enjoyment they receive from serving delicious food and wine to their guests. There was another young waitress as well who was also very kind to us. We came our first night for wine and food, which was amazing. The wine tasting was informative, very affordable, and delicious. I learned I enjoy the northern mountain region wines that are fruity and dry. We also ordered a massive plate of meat and cheese for dinner, along with grilled sausage and sardine, accompanied by home baked bread and olive oil tasting. Yes - it was amazing! We had so much food we had to take some to go and ate it the next day in a park. I thought the sausage was especially delicious, and everything was fantastic. Of course, all of this was incredibly reasonably priced. We liked it so much that we came back a couple nights later for a Port tasting. I found this very informative as well and have developed an affinity for Tawnys! My fiancé and I are so grateful for the hospitality and delicious cuisine we enjoyed here. Thank you so much!! The food and wine was great, but the hospitality was the special touch I loved the most. As mentioned in other reviews, they are more your hosts than anything else. The level of attention and care is so genuine. To the reader - you will not make a mistake dining here. Just make sure to reserve in advance! It is the policy (we were able to reserve our port tasting only 2 days before, so do not despair). I hope you make time to enjoy it!

My taste buds got together and learned Portuguese they could write a thank you note to the kitchen staff. I took photos of everything including the signature cocktail and made my social media friends look at them. This place rocks! (Literally. They have a rocking playlist and live music at night.) No matter your appetite, this place has snacks and full entrees that span a range of palate-pleasers. You cannot go wrong here ordering something out of the ordinary or sticking with what's familiar. The staff are always in motion serving patrons and checking on tables. They seem very happy working together as a team. Their smiles were not just for guests but for each other. Comfortable indoor seating as well as relaxing outdoor seating to accommodate any size of party. Happy Hour specials and 2-for-1 pizza Sundays after 7 PM make this a great spot for anyone on a budget. They do not skimp on creativity or flavor. Treat yourself and try them early in your stay. You'll be better off than me with the option of returning here once more before you have to go back home. Manga!

Didn't have much expectations thinking it was gonna be a tourist trap but I was wrong everything came out to be exceptional. My group got 2 pitchers of their sangria and it was delicious and tasty.

Only mistake we had was the pizza and ceviche but nonetheless everything else was delicious. Big plus is the atmosphere. Music was on point and the vibe was what we needed after a long day.
