Best in lisbon.
Picture this: two newcomers to Lisbon, armed with nothing but a large appetite for food and a remarkable talent for finding hidden gems. That’s us! Consider us your virtual treasure map to Lisbon’s best-kept secrets, sprinkled with a generous dose of old places and a pinch of new places.
We’ve been on a mission to find all the best spots, from cute coffee shops to fancy Michelin-starred restaurants. But it’s not just about the upscale dining! We’re all about embracing everything Lisbon has to offer, whether that’s chilling in the beautiful parks or soaking in the city life vibes.
Behind the posts.
A girly with roots in Stockholm, Sweden, restless to spread my short legs and find something meaningful and fun to do with my early twenties. I ended up in London where I got to explore the unique bar culture, where a large beer and some greasy food could truly marry into something magical. After one too many fish and chips, I set sail to Cape Town, South Africa. It was in Cape Town that my true love for good food and good vibes came to life. South Africa’s diverse restaurant and bar scene allowed me to get a little taste of every corner of the world – including the Prego Rolls and Peri Peri Chickens.
In 2021, my fiancé and I decided to pack our bags and head back to Europe. Although, not quite ready to settle down in Sweden just yet. Portugal’s food, nature, and culture reminds us a bit of South Africa. So, naturally, we decided to make a quick stop in Portugal to see what the fuss was about. After a year split between Porto and the Algarve, our hearts found its home in Lisbon in 2022. It was hard not to fall head over heels for this absolute gem of a city. From quaint local boutiques to cozy wine bars, every colorful corner holds a delightful surprise waiting to be uncovered.
