Rodrigo is a charming and very attentive host. His smart, and well equipped, apartment is wonderfully located near the river with amazing art galleries (Museo Coleção Berardo has serious wow factor for modern art enthusiasts), LX Factory and a huge variety of restaurants and cafés. Belem's old and new soul captured us sufficiently to keep us from (almost) the rest of Lisbon for most of this short trip. We were invited by some very warm and friendly local people to Pensão Amor and Jamaica on the glittery pink street of Rua Nova do Carvalho. Among other goodies, we ate fabulous grilled grouper at Campinas, just round the corner from the apartment, big juicy snails at O Lutador, great pizza at Estado d'Alma and seriously good Hong Kong roast duck at Malacca at LX Factory. Absolutely loved Lisbon, can't wait to return and hopefully Rodrigo's will be available again.
