Let’s face it: Lisbon is no longer the coffee dwarf of the days of yore. Over the last couple of years, the city has seen a tremendous, explosive boom in specialty coffee shops and roasters. It all started in 2015 with Copenhagen Coffee Lab opening its first coffee shop at Praça das Flores which was…
Sitting next to Cais do Sodré station is this little gem of a bistro that inside only looks like a Berlin-inspired graffiti art shop (which it is) but on the other side boasts wonderful views over the Tagus. You’d be forgiven for being sceptical because of the location of “Montana Lisboa Café”, situated right between…
Craft beer has exploded in Lisbon, there’s no two ways about it. While a couple of years ago, the whole scene was still very much in a research & development kind of phase, now it’s becoming very clear which breweries are going the distance. Going to the tasting space of Dois Corvos is unlikely to…

Summer’s here and it’s time to introduce you to one of our particular favorites that is a great wine bar all year around: RoberTine.

It was love at first sight, to be honest: from the cozy interior design to the limited…
Dear readers, food lovers and forever-hungry-gourmets, you might have wondered where we’ve been the past months. To be frank: busy with our day-jobs as teachers and busy with the publication of this very cool booklet with Nout’s poetry and Nora’s photography. All good and well you might say, but, as an Italian friend of mine…
Speciality coffee! Avocados! Muesli! Scandinavian styled interior design! If these keywords get your metaphorical tail waggling, then maybe “The Mill” – coffee shop by day, wine and tapas bar in the evening – is your kind of place. Do bring some money and try not to think too much about how “The Mill” might also…
So, ever wonder what this whole “matured meat” thing was about and ever thought it was just another way of those damned hipsters to just upscale a bloody simple piece of meat? Well, the hipster part you got right, but we’d bet you a bottle of good red wine from the Dão that even blindfolded…
