The buffet comes with a generous assortment of freshly baked breads. They were still are still hot from the oven. Lots of national dessert called pastel de nata. I ate at least four and probably will not be eating too many of those in the future. Around the breads, had make your own pancake station, bacon, sausage links, scrambled eggs, potatoes and the usual breakfast items. The bar area had chilled sprinkling wines and juice stations. You can also order coffee and such as part of the buffet. My coffee was excellent. To the back had cold cuts and fresh fruits. Not to forget, omelet stations also. The service was good, the food tasted great and everyone was very friendly friendly. 12% tax for food. Yikes

Our only disappointment while staying at the Marriott was the Citrus Restaurant. Although the…read morebreakfast buffet was large and attractive looking, it was rather expensive and we just wanted something smaller. We told the server we'd like to order from the menu; it took awhile for her to return to actually give us menus and take the orders -- 30 minutes later our food had not arrived (it was only omelettes). We joked amongst ourselves that they must've been waiting for the chickens to finish laying the eggs! My husband got up to ask our server, who hadn't been past our table since taking the order, if we could get our food and she looked perplexed. When she then brought the plates to the table it was obvious that all four dishes had been sitting on the counter in the kitchen for a long time -- the hash browns were cold and congealed and the eggs were rubbery and cold with a strange flavor. Two of the four omelettes were even the wrong combination of ingredients! We ended up walking out and the manager apologized and said our room would not be billed; I think they should've offered us something from the buffet at that point. I suggest you don't bother with it unless you want the $25 buffet; and I can't really comment on the quality of what was on those platters either. There's lots of great options in Lisbon for breakfast, choose one of those instead.

Best ever dinner with show in Portugal. This dinner show restaurant is own by a famous Michelin…read morestar Portuguese chef José Avillez. The food is amazing with a lot of textures. We have total sixteen courses. Each course has different feelings and very creative. The Show: The show has four persons team. Most of them can dance and sing except one is very good dancer. The show was divided into segments. Begin with cabaret, fado, modern and mixed. The show is a plus to the dinner. Great performance. Some dance puppets dance. The dinner is amazing. We started surprising compliment dish - Minha Rose. The trick is to find out one paddle is eatable. Then follow by four courses of appetizers. I like the most is the taco and control candy four-gras. The main course includes flower paddle ceviche and OX tail are great item to have. They close with many appetizers such as strawberry lipsticks and more. The food and dinner not cheap but worth more.

Catching up on review drafts a while back!…read more Had the pleasure of enjoying a few hours here in April 2022. Portugal being famous for their decorative ceramic tiles, this museum displays an extensive collection of both classical ceramic wall tile and modern art, housed in a 16th century monastery building. From the outside the building doesn't look super impressive though inside there's a good amount to see. Ticket price last I checked was €8, we arrived shortly after 10am on a Saturday and there was a line of about 20 people at the entrance and ticket counter though the line moved quickly. Upon entry first stop was the cafe for a quick breakfast, they took about 20ish minutes to open after the museum building opened, as we waited the staff was setting out chairs and readying some foodstuffs. Not wanting to wait too long, I went with a pastel de nata, a mini croissant and an espresso. The pastries were nothing special though not inedible. The espresso was solid. That being said, I came for the tiles and not the food, so getting to that... The exhibits start from the ground floor encircling a small courtyard and you make your way up a few more stories. The first two levels have more traditional tiles used for building ornamentation, some purely decorative motifs, others with elaborate scenes painted on them. The exhibit progresses in chronological order with upper floors featuring modern art. Since the museum sits in a historic monastery, the chapel, antechamber, auditorium and surrounding rooms part of the original church floor plan showcase elaborate wall and ceiling ceramic embellishments. Really gorgeous! Overall certainly recommend checking out this museum--there was a fair variety and what stood out to me was both the functionality and humor of some of the more classical pieces, and the creativity of the modern pieces. Worth it to spend a couple hours here if you're visiting Lisbon.

It was cool to see how the tradition has evolved over the years. Many signs are in both Portuguese and English. All the staff we spoke with were also very fluent in English. This was also the first place I saw a people love us on Yelp sign (in Portuguese) which was super cool. The café serves coffee, beer and wine as well as sandwiches and pasties in a beautiful setting. Part of the café is indoors and part is in a garden courtyard. Beautiful sculptures and flowers. We got here on the bus but you could also Uber. Bus stop is very close but it's a bit out of the way from the main touristic areas. I would budget about two to three hours here depending on how interested you are in the tiles. Definitely have a drink and a snack and enjoy the courtyard garden area. Shop was well stocked, reasonably priced and featured some work by local artisans.

They had a dj that night and the music was filling the whole neighbourhood, so we decided to see what was happening. It is an apartment on the first floor with a couple of rooms and a great terrace/patio on the back. The atmosphere is really really nice and we had a fun night there. They closed around 2.30 though, so maybe next time I would go earlier and also try the food! In my past Lisbon trips I hadn't been to this area of town and it was a very pleasant discovery: there are also other nice bars and shops around.
