Faz Figura: A Restaurant With A View
Featuring the best in international, as well as Portuguese cuisine, Faz Figura restaurant is the representation of the Lisbon classics: 19th century tiles as the backdrop for wall prints of city life, and a veranda that overlooks the waters of the River Tagus.
Located at the top of an arduous hill to climb, most patrons will take a car up to the summit and walk about in some truly gorgeous garden areas, before taking their seats in the beautiful Faz Figura restaurant, where flawless service awaits.
Be sure to get a before-dinner aperitif in their equally beautiful international bar and take a moment to enjoy the lights of Lisbon dancing off the waters of the Tagus and the nearby statue of Christ the King that can be seen on the southern coast.
The menu, with an average cost per plate that ranges from seventeen to thirty-five Euro, is quite expansive and has something to satisfy most tastes. With dishes such as cataplana, or cooking pot, of fish and other seafood, partridge soup, or octopus with a corn crust and sautéed vegetables, it promises a dining experience that you are not likely to forget in a hurry. Everything is flavorful, occasionally spicy, and a good representation of the national cuisine.
This Lisbon restaurant also features a range of local vintages in addition to a wide array of mouth-watering desserts. Patrons come for the food but always schedule some extra time so they can stay back and enjoy the view; all definitely well worth the trouble to get there.
