(Doca de Santo Amaro, 12 Armazém in Lisbon, Portugal)

Don Pomodoro is the airy, authentic Italian among the fashionable family of bars and restaurants on ...Lisbon’s stylish Santo Amaro dockside – best known for its brilliant nightlife. On sunny days, groups of magnetic entrepreneurs take their Chianti and business talk outside onto the terrace facing the Tagus River. From the down-to-earth trattoria-like look to the wood-fired pizzas and the ground coffee, Don Pomodoro is as far as possible the real deal. Pretty much everything on your I-could-two-of-these pizza - the olive oil, the mozzarella, the Parma ham – will have been imported. Few better Italian wine lists are found in Porto.

Spilling out on the street from a corner of Bairro Alto – Lisbon’s first contemporary-chic boutique ...hotel, a beautiful bolthole on the capital’s landmark square Praça de Camões – is the small and stylish Flores restaurant, serving creative cuisine fit for a Spanish king. Arguably a member of fusion cooking royalty, Flores’ head chef Luis Rodrigues marries Portuguese and Mediterranean dishes and transforms them into restaurant meals thrice as exciting. His impressive international experience – including a handful of months with Catalan superchef Sergi Aola – has taught him to “do things simply.” The Flores menu changes once a week. All in all, then, a pequeno corker of a restaurant. Upon arrival, please inform the restaurant that your booking was made via toptable.

Spot Lx is one of three glam restaurants in Lisbon’s new ultra-modern Casino Lisboa in the futuristi...c Parque das Nações next to the Tagus estuary. White lamps, white tables, white chairs, bright light…the effect is powerfully minimalist and shifted up yet another gear by the super-high ceilings and panoramic views. Someone really put thought into Spot Lx. Such a sleek urban space merits an exciting global menu and gets in Fausto Airoldi’s artistic mix of Japanese, Italian and Portuguese tapas. Design pieces in themselves, dishes are chosen delicatessen-style from dedicated sections, including a dessert bar and a raw bar. Vegetarians have a special section of the menu, too. All the while, there’s live music to entertain and enliven the addictively electric atmosphere, making Spot Lx a really rather hip dining destination.
