A Taste of Lisbon
A Passion For Pastries
Flour, cinnamon, eggs, sugar, tradition and modernisation are some of the ingredients used to produce the delicious Portuguese pastries. In every café you enter in Lisbon, you will probably find the most mouth-watering Bola de Berlim, Pastel de Nata, or Travesseiro. During Christmas time, the Bolo Rei is present in every window show case. If you are not already a fan, Lisbon will definitely spark in you a passion for pastry.
A Typical Treat: Tasquinhas around old Lisbon
The capital city of the great Discoveries period has become a place to be discovered itself. Many of its secrets are still hidden around the winding and cobbled streets of the Alfama district, one of the oldest Bairros of the city. Certainly one of the best hidden secrets of the city, are its tasquinhas, small cosy restaurants that serve typical homemade dishes.
There is no better morning than a sunny Lisbon one. If you can have breakfast served on a terrace overlooking the city and the river, you have definitely been blessed with a great treat. The ever-changing light of the morning hours is reflected on the houses that hang along the city’s hills. Make sure you enjoy a good breakfast because, ironically, the best way to get to know Lisbon is by walking around its steep cobbled streets.
