Terroir (Lisbon)

It doesn’t happen often that you have a Michelin-level restaurant kitchen as your “personal” chef but it happened to us at Terroir https://www.terroirrestaurante.com/ in Lisbon. Originally they had many reservations but due to the weather and other factors all of them cancelled throughout the day and when we showed up at Terroir it turned out that we were the remaining last reservation. Huge respect and kudos to everybody at Terroir that they gave us the full treatment of the full tasting menu without rushing, perfect service, great wine pairing of only Portuguese wines and wonderful, creative, modern Portuguese cuisine - a truly unforgettable night at Michelin star level

Over the last few weeks, according to them, there were surprisingly few days where the weather wasn’t too hot or too cold for the beach and on Tuesday it was even in the evening really good beach weather and a lot people decided to skip restaurant visits and go to the beach. (In addition, there was also an important soccer game for Benfica at the World Club Championships which didn’t help restaurant visits)
