O Surf & Turf

Sea Me

As well as consistently making the Top 20 of Lisbon restaurants, as ranked by Time Out, Sea Me is known for three things: coming up with an original format that is a mix of a modern petisqueira (snack bar) and a traditional marisqueira (seafood eatery); serving above all dishes that feature high-quality fish and shellfish; and being one of the few places in Portugal that pays homage to the country's gastronomic links with Japan.

9

Alexandre Silva

With a creative flair that is out of the ordinary, Alexandre Silva does more than reinterpret Portuguese tradition.

35
