I was hobbling down the steps to the iconic Ponto Final, my legs and hips absolutely torched from…read more100k steps the day prior through the hills and cobblestones that make up the brutal Lisbon terrain. I was STARVING. We had no reservation, but our group of 6 was seated immediately as we got there right as it opened. When it comes to ambiance, it doesn't get any better. You are seated right on a concrete slab inches away from the water, with a view of the Abril Bridge towering in the background. I ordered an aperol spritz and scanned the menu when I saw a "Monkfish Stew" option. Have you ever seen a Monkfish? Absolute nightmare fuel. I didn't even know they were edible. Sometimes in life, you gotta follow your instincts and shoot from the hip. You gotta let go and let God. On certain days, you gotta throw caution to the wind and order the Monkfish stew for the table. Best decision I've ever made. This thing came in a piping hot Cauldron that I can only imagine witches use when deviously concocting their potions. It was one of the best things I ate in Portugal. The dense Monkfish absorbed the rich tomato-based flavor of the seafood stock which made it tender and delectable. The rice followed suit. We also ordered cod fritters, octopus salad, spicy fried shrimp, chipped grilled salt cod with potatoes, and grilled salmon. The only real miss for me was the octopus salad, with the other highlights being the salmon, shrimp, and cod fritters. It's always nice when a 1 of 1 ambiance delivers elite food, and that's exactly what is going on in here. Ponto Final reminds me a lot of Anthony Edwards. I only buy shirts from places that I love with all of my soul, so I couldn't leave here without getting a bright yellow shirt from Ponto Final, which I am currently wearing as I type this.

We made a reservation thanks to our Visa concierge and was seated right by the edge of the pier for a precarious but great view of the ocean and bridge. That really makes up for most of why we're here anyways, although I think the restaurant next to this place seems quite legit at first glance too. As far as getting here goes, we took the ferry which isn't too bad to figure out. They have frequent trips to and from Sodre/Casilhas but just plan around that to be safe. It's at least a 10min walk from the ferry pier over to the restaurant. Just get the Navegante card at the automated kiosk in the Sodre port. 5 euros easily covers your trip to and from, with enough leftover for exactly one bus ride from our experience. Public transportation isn't bad to figure out around here although Uber is quite cheap too. The ferry gives you more of an experience like the locals and only takes about 10mins to and from Sodre too.

Our uber driver recommended skipping the Ponte Final since it was over priced and the food was just okay. He recommended for us to try any of the restaurants by the ferry. So we did exactly that. Dropped by Restaurante Farol and honestly was not expecting much except for fresh seafood. Holy, smokes! This place knows FLAVUURR! This was the best restaurant we had during our Portugal trip. The grilled octopus was butter soft and fresh fresh fresh! The camaron Mozambique was freaken out of this world. Deep fried prawns with garlic butter sauce... it was ridiculously delicious. The sauce was so damn good but honestly, the prawns were the star of the show. It was just so fresh and delicious. The pork dish was equally amazing. So so so good. The service was quick and the wait team was responsive. The restaurant was right by the water so we had waterfront view. Overall, highly recommended and would come back if we are back in Lisbon. A tip for you all, just take the ferry from Lisbon over and the restaurant is literally right as you walk out of the ferry exit.
