Carefully perched atop seven hills, Lisbon bounces its white light off the water of the Tagus, peacefully shimmering like an inland sea. The city tends to spark love at first sight, and if you choose to go back, the feeling just keeps on getting stronger. This historical puzzle, a labyrinth of streets full of sounds, sea, gulls, streetcars, and church bells with an aura of romantic nostalgia is as open as it is enveloping. A place blessed by the sun with a universal character.

According to the suggestions of Pedro Mendonça, our bulthaup Partner in Lisbon, you can't miss the experience of dining at the Hotel Fortaleza do Guincho restaurant (Estrada do Guincho, Praia do Guincho, Cascais). “This Michelin-starred restaurant has much more to offer than what first meets the eye. Its contemporary French nouvelle cuisine with a strong Portuguese accent is in perfect harmony with its magical location, right on the Atlantic Ocean. Chef Vincent Farges (winner of the prestigious Chef de l’Avenir award in 2012/2013) imbues each one of his dishes with immense sensitivity and humanity. Tasting his creations is also a 'process' in which truly authentic values converge, and in which you attain a heightened sense of uniqueness, making the experience a moment like none other."

If you want to catch the pulse of everyday life in one of the city's neighborhoods, try Restaurante Pap’Açorda (Rua da Atalaia 57, Bairro Alto). “In the 1980s it was one of the first to modernize Portuguese cuisine, and has continued pursuing this aim in the midst of a traditional yet highly diverse neighborhood."

The Confeitaria Nacional (Praça da Figueira 18B, Baixa Pombalina) was founded over 170 years ago and "has been managed by five generations of the Castanheira family. Located 'na Baixa' between two of the city's main squares, in the old quarter of the capital of Portugal, it is a fine example of Pombaline architecture. If you visit it, you will find traditional pastries served in the charming atmosphere of its tearoom. You can even stop in for a meal and take a break before continuing your stroll."

If you're one of those people who like to pack the city's fragrances in your suitcase when it's time to go home, you must visit Casa Pereira (Rua Garrett 38, Chiado, Lisbon). “One single family runs this traditional shop, with the same atmosphere and the same laconic employees you could imagine finding there a hundred years ago. Cookies, candies, teas (including the Gorreana brand from the island of São Miguel dos Açores, port wines, chocolates, and coffee grinders that fill the charismatic store with an unforgettable aroma of coffee."
