LISBON RESTAURANT

I wanted to recommend an awesome restaurant in Bairro Alto in Lisbon

Les Mauvais Garçons

Rua da Rosa 39 1200  Lisbonne

open from 12:00 to 24:00

Métro : Baixa / Chiado

Tél : +351 213 433 212

Bistro-cafe in Parisian style and with ... Mediterranean cuisine. Mixed clientele, relaxed atmosphere, pleasant staff. Free Wireless Internet,  situated in the heart of Bairro Alto.

A small inexpensive restaurant with excellent cuisine.  The manager/owner  David is terrific, speaks Spanish, French and English was born in Spain, lived in France and about 3 years ago he moved to Lisbon.

He owns the building and also rents nice apartments.  Bairro Alto is the Gay hang out and the restaurant is minutes away from all the Gay bars.

But, I’ll review and write about the rooms in a future post.

Les Mauvais Garçons is a very popular spot in Lisbon. It’s a small, cosy ”très-chic” cafe/restaurant. They serve delicious Spanish dishes like gaspacho and tortilhas, Italian (lasagna, spaguetti, also vegetarian) and Portuguese dishes inspired by the French cuisine.

In the afternoon. You can relax in the deep leather armchairs, or bring your laptop (wi-fi internet connection). Try their Portuguese cakes: tarte de maçã com gelado de baunilha or bolo de dois chocolates.

CASA MARHABA IN LAGOS

ANOTHER GREAT GAY GUESTHOUSE IN THE ALGARVE REGION

CASA MARHABA
Casa Marhaba is a friendly and private guest house in the sun. Set in one acre in a pleasant rural area, we are just 1 km from the nearest beaches, with the nearest towns a 5 km drive away – Carvoeiro on the coast and Lagoa inland. And of course, the Algarve is full of restaurants offering not only variety, but quality and value too – some close enough to walk to.

All bedrooms are doubles – some with single beds. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms with showers. All rooms are accessed directly from the garden.

There is a comfortable Guest Lounge with satellite TV and video facilities, a small library and a selection of games.

Their extended Continental Breakfasts are substantial – freshly squeezed orange juice, yogurt, fresh fruit, cheese, ham, fresh breads and pastries, tea or coffee – served on a terrace overlooking the pool and garden.

And after breakfast you can relax around the private pool, tan on one of the sun terraces, walk around the gardens, take a soothing soak in the jacuzzi, or sit in the walled garden with the tinkling waterfall in the background.

They  are open from April through September.
the rates for the 2011 season are as follows:-
