As we’re setting up shop in Lisbon, Portugal for a few weeks, I did what has become a beloved and much appreciated – really, priceless – ritual: I took to Twitter and asked for recommendations.
Recommendations for Lisbon – things to see & do & eat, people to meet, whatever comes to mind! /@thornet

It’s a deliberately open question so as not to artificially restrict the kind of pointers coming in: A personal recommendation for a restaurant, an experience not to be missed, a memory shared – all is welcome!
It is in that sense that I share the responses coming in on Twitter today in a new (hopefully recurring) category of posts called “the network provides“.
Other tipps coming in via email or DM aren’t included here as they weren’t shared on public Twitter. I was very happy to see quite a few of the recommendations come in through several channels and from several trusted sources: If that happens it’s usually a sure winner.
Thanks so much for all the pointers, friends!
@peterbihr Pastel de Nata, all day every day.

@peterbihr Also, if you have time for it, go see Sintra. It's amazing.

@peterbihr @thornet we ate at Taberna Moderna and Sea Me – really great restaurants recommended to me by a colleague who used to be a local.

@peterbihr @thornet The Independente roof top bar is amazing, as is their restaurant. Great food and wine.

@peterbihr Cruzes Credo for great food and atmosphere at reasonable cost. Culinary highlight of my trip a couple of years back.
