Guidebook for Lisboa
Food Scene
Tabanca. It's an old style portuguese Tavern, inconspicuous and non presumptuous, here you can have freshly cooked portuguese specialtys at lunch or a nice grilled fish for dinner. The atmosphere is variable, but you will notice some familiar old faces and white hairs if you come around frequently. The tap beer is one of my favourites in the neighbourhood. Mr Joaquim, the owner, only speaks portuguese but he can manage to comunicate through his menu wich is in english and french. If you ask him at the counter he can served you some traditional smoked meats and cheese with wich he makes wonderfull sandwiches. If you like a good match, champions league matches are frequently broadcast here.

Drinks & Nightlife
Damas is one of my favourite places to dance in Lisbon, it's actually a restaurante with a room for concerts and partys wich is always full on weekends after midnight. The atmosphere is a 50% blend of locals and foreigners, ready to dance after a good dinner. It might sound oldfashioned but believe me , it isn't. Here you can have from punk rock bands to poetry declamation, and you will always have a couple of Dj's playing all types of music. My favourite night's are when they invite underground dj's since they have a good criteria selecting theyr disc jockeys. Plus the croud is tendentiously made of people who like to relax and listen to the music or just have some wine and chat.

Sightseeing
Monte agudo view point, right at the top left side of our street is one of our ex-libris. It's one of the most quiet yet interesting viewpoints. It's definetly one of the most secret in Lisbon and most of the people who come here are actually locals who come to this place to enjoy a good drink in a relaxed atmosphere. It's surrounded by trees wich makes it even more confortable. There's a small cafe selling drinks and snacks. And a few tables and seats wich people relocate to make themselves confortable or to get a nice prespective of the city through the branches of trees growing all around.

Parks & Nature
Mata de Alvalade , mata de Alvalade is one of the most genuine parks of Lisbon, it's actually a vast green spot that was involved by the city's growth. Here you can have the feeling of seing nature all around and loose track of the city noise. There are some public barbecues available so all you need to gathher some friends here, is the food and the fire. In the park you also have a sports center with lots of tennis courts. Wander around this park and you will find yourself alone with the birds. It's a great place if you like a good nap in a natural atmosphere.

Arts & Culture
Museu do oriente is an antropological Trip. This museum not only displays milenary Asian artifacts, it transports us through its misterys in a very envolving atmosphere. Here you can see how much of the Portuguese culture integrates many of these influences.
