French chef David Eyguesier honed his skills at Pois Café, then his own underground restaurant at home before opening this sorely needed Alfama gem whose name loosely translates as 'The Truants' (he 'skipped' culinary school!). His daily-changing, market-fresh set menus delight under a spiderweb of modern lighting, beautiful geometric cabinetry and an open kitchen. No microwave. No freezer!

Poets and travelers have always described it as an eden, and a visit to Lisbon isn't over without a visit to Sintra's fairy tale castles and palaces, especialy to Pena Palace. It's a romantic and mysterious place surrounded by nature, classified as a World Heritage Site, and the best way to see it all is on an organized tour. Many tours also stop by Queluz Palace, by the Mafra Palace and at Cabo da Roca nearby, Europe's westernmost point.

Belém is known as the historic district of the Age of Discovery. It was from its waterfront that Vasco da Gama and other explorers departed for their voyages, events celebrated today by grand monuments and museums in the neighborhood.
The sensational architecture of the Tower of Belem and Jeronimos Monastery (both World Heritage Sites) is the result of the discovery of the sea route to India, the opening of trade with Japan, and the colonization of Brazil and parts of Africa and Asia. These monuments are adorned and embellished with motifs of exotic lands elaborately carved in stone, as are the heroes of the age on the colossal Discoveries Monument.
