We started from camp and walked through the park to Panorâmico de Monsanto - a graffitied old high-end restaurant with views of the city
It was a lot of fun to wander around
Then off to the city!
First stop - vegan nata! So good!
Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara
Lots of restaurants had outdoor seating on the stairs
We decided to get lunch out as well at Organi Chiado - we got there just in time to get a table that was off to the side by itself, not right next to everyone else! Win
And we had a Caprese salad which was so tasty and fresh
Spirit tofu (tofu salad) with salad, sweet potatoes and green rice that was so so good!
And penne with tomato cashew sauce and pesto - also really good
After lunch we headed down to the water
And found a craft market
Of course we had to get some gelato - I tried the pistachio which apparently was what this place was known for...and it was just okay. It was odd texture like you had to chew it.
Then off to get some empanadas to take back to camp for dinner. The empanada place was right on this super steep street with a funicular!
While waiting we saw lots of them go up and down
We were going to do a giant loop and walk back to camp, but it was so hot by then that we decided to call a taxi instead.
The empanadas from Empanar we had for dinner were just meh. There was quinoa portobello & cheese which I did not like at all. Roasted veggie and cheese which was meh at best. Corn and cheese which was surprisingly better. And roasted veggie which was the only really good one.
Overall a great day, we both really enjoyed Lisbon way more than we expected. Lots of walking, lots of hills, lots of fun!
