Eat 'n Sleep Lisbon :: Restaurant Nilo and Palacio Belmonte
Our Eat 'n Sleep feature profiles a restaurant in a random city and a hotel nearby. It's kinda like that old show "Dinner and a Movie" but you know, with restaurants and hotels. And better jokes.
When in Rome, right? So when you're in Lisbon you might as well eat like the Portuguese. Those in the know say to head down to Restaurant Nilo for some of the best bites this coastal city has to offer. This little charmer of an eatery is located downtown, near the Rossio and Praca da Figueira, in close proximity to 20 other restaurants. But we can't figure why travelers would choose anywhere else, since Nilo's menu includes national dishes at a decent price.
You'll find delicious rice with seafood, codfish or one of the typical dishes of the day like cozido à Portuguesa or feijoada à transmontana. And last, but not least, don't skip the delicious Portuguese beer, Sagres.
After feasting like a king, we want to sleep like one too. So we suggest you put the evening to bed at the Palacio Belmonte. This luxury hotel with enormous suites puts royalty to shame. And because it's located on the eastern side of Lisbon's St. George's castle, it's got incredible views of the oldest part of the city. It's beautiful gardens, swimming pool and cozy but elegant accommodations make it the perfect end to a busy Lisbon day. We figure if it was good enough for Portuguese kings, then it's got to be good enough for us.
