  1. Colares Velho

    Clued-up foodies make sure there’s rarely an empty table at this restaurant and tearoom, set in a converted grocery store and tavern. The country-style dining room, bedecked with 200-year-old pinewood dressers, is an elegant setting for flavours like Roquefort steak and seafood cataplana, accompanied by full-bodied wines. Alternatively, sip Earl Grey and nibble on divine pastries in the tearoom. The vine-strewn courtyard is ideal for summertime dining.

    Olivier Avenida

    Star chef Olivier’s latest venture is this gorgeous pearl-kissed restaurant, lit by teardrop chandeliers and centred on a horseshoe-shaped bar where DJs spin lounge music in the evening. Signatures such as tender kobe beef are polished off nicely with tangy apple sorbet.

    Eleven

    Michelin-starred Eleven lives up to the hype. Perched above Parque Eduardo VII, this aesthetically stunning restaurant is a fusion of glass walls and Joana Vasconcelos art. Chef Joachim Koerper conjures up inventive flavours such as sardine delight with artichoke and olive oil ice cream.
