While roaming the streets of Lisbon, my companion and I found this place to be empty during one of…read morethe weekday nights so we stopped in for a round of drinks. After several minutes of browsing, we decided on the classic double 9 and the fisherman's tea drop. We quickly went in for a sip as soon the mixologist handed our drinks and were instantly impressed by the uniqueness of the taste. Both drinks had a distinctive floral note but without tasting overwhelming. My favorite of the two was without doubt the double 9. We had a quick conversation with one of the mixologists and he recommended the El Mariachi as it's their version of the classic margarita. Unfortunately, I didn't get to stay long enough to try it but I'll certainly give it a try when I return to Lisbon.

I came across Cinco Lounge through my travel guide and I'm happy I did. Cinco Lounge is located in a residential neighborhood across the street from a casual park. As you walk into Cinco, you immediately feel the vibe with the dim lights and lounge feel. Since I was riding solo, I sat at the bar and was welcomed immediately by the friendly bartenders. They also have some tables and comfortable seating. I really can't say enough about the service. Both bartenders were cool and make you feel right at home. They have an extensive cocktail list and this is what you should go with as their cocktails are creative to say the least. I saw one guy next to me drinking a cocktail that had an ice cream cone in it...mind blown. I went with a refreshing cocktail with kiwi and other fresh fruit which hit the spot. I only stayed for an hour or so but met a girl from Argentina at the bar. Along with the bartenders, it was nice to be a part of a group in a foreign land. Hands-down my favorite bar in Lisbon so it's a must!

The drinks have such delicious and unique flavors, I wish I could try every drink on the fun animal-themed menu! My favorites were the Gorilla and the Anaconda. Service is so fast and friendly, and the ambiance is perfect for lounging and chatting with friends or a date on their sofas. Come for pre-dinner or late-night drinks, the vibe is perfect. The prices are on the higher side (AKA comparable to US big city prices), but totally worth it for the whole experience.

We walked up without a reservation for an early Monday dinner. We had read many good things about…read morethis restaurant and it was close to our airbnb so we gave it a try. We were greeted coldly since we did not have a reservation. They reluctantly gave us a table on the patio. We expected it to be jammed given that reception but the place was never close to full all evening... Anyway, the rest of the experience was better since the food was so good. The charcuterie plate was one of the best we had during our two weeks in Portugal. The roast octopus and the shrimp were good. The puff pastry starter with a stew filling barely had any meat filling so that was disappointing. The highlight was the excellent fries - perfectly done - hot and crispy. We did pop inside and wow what a space - it is part of the opera house. Really stunning. But it was way too nice outside to eat inside...

While we wished to try José Avillez's Michelin-starred restaurant, Cafe Lisboa, another of his…read morerestaurant just across the plaza and opens for lunch, fit easier in the travel schedule as well as the budget. We were happier still to find out that they offer an executive lunch for €16.50. There are a few choices for appetizer, and eight main courses from salad to steak. The price also includes water, bread, some cheese and spread - and before you scoff, be reminded that these are usually NOT free in restaurants in Portugal. For starters we tried the Caldo Verde, the famous cabbage and potato soup, and this one is definitely one of the best specimens we've ever tried. The broad beans with cilantro was light, refreshing and beautifully presented. Bacalhau à brás is one of the many ways you can enjoy codfish (which, incidentally, are not caught in Portuguese seas), and again the preparation here is a winner. The dish is done more on the creamy and moist side, with the modern twist of using little globs of spherified olive a la el Bulli. While there is a modern twist here and there, overall, the dishes do not depart far from how they have been prepared for generations. True to the Portuguese roots, they are also often presented without fancy dressing up: our croquette arrived rolling forlornly on a white plate. We sat in the courtyard as the weather was really nice, and also because everyone in the dining room donned business suits and our casual travel gear seemed out of place. Nonetheless, we received great service, genuinely friendly and not pretentious at all. A great introductory restaurant if you want to try out José Avillez.

My friend and I stumbled across it while trying to find something to do in the evening time that was a little more upscale than the party street scene. This establishment had a mix of dancing and socializing. So it was the best of both worlds. The service was a bit confusing but my friend and I just opted to order from the bar instead of waiting to see if a waiter would come. As it does get packed! Luckily they had two bar set up's in separate parts of the establishment which helped. I'd recommend going to the bar stand set up in the back as that guy didn't get as busy as the main one in the front. This would be cute for a date night or hanging with friends. People kind of kept to themselves so I'm not too sure how it would be for a solo traveler.
