Started the day with a leisurely stroll through the crisp Lisbon morning to Pastelaria Versailles in Belém.
A perfect morning filled with sunshine, stories, and just enough wind to mess up your hair.
Our first pastel de nata stop at the iconic Pastéis de Belém, where it all began in 1837.
A Cevicheria by Chef Kiko is playful, punchy and downright pretty, both on the plate and in flavour.
This was comfort food at its smoky, umami best. And yes, it travels well too, just don’t forget to give it a squeeze of that calamansi.
No fancy courses this time, just a full table, happy tummies and the kind of comfort food we always come back to.
It was never about sticking to a theme. It was about making what the family loves, and sitting down to enjoy it together. Sometimes, that is the only theme you need.
When you are drinking with friends, it is not about impressing. It is about connecting, glass by glass.
