My all time favorite restaurant! Ask for the ‘carne pedra’ a hot stone will be set on your table for your to finish your steak to your desired temp. We have tried every dish here and love it. Only 6 tables so call ahead if you can.

Lovely downtown. Great shops for souvenirs, and lots of dinner and lunch spots. As well as a small lovely beach. We have been told the President of Portugal swims here every week. Can you spot him?

This is a must! Hot fresh pastries, Pastéis de Belem is a national treat. It’s been said there is only one true recipe, kept under lock and key know by only a few people. All other are just versions for the amazing original.
Travelers Tip: There is always a huge line outside this is for the take away orders. It’s usually faster to get a table. Pass the line (no you are not cutting, I promise) and go inside for a table. The first section is a first come first serve area so spot a table and grab it. Or a little further back is a waiter who will seat you. Enjoy!

One of our favorite castles we have see and we have seen a lot. The walk through the gardens is lovely and along the outside of the castle. The walk along the wall is for adults and is closed in the high season.
