Lisbon is legend!! First of all, the apartment is absolutely terrific and in a great area! Jorge was the best host we have stayed with to date. Wine, bread and cheese were waiting for us upon arrival, a nice touch. Jorge was incredibly helpful with his recommendations so don't bother listening to me, listen to him!
That being said; you MUST hit the 'time out' market. It's a five minute walk and you could eat breakfast, lunch and dinner there. It's got everything you need in life. I will miss it dearly.
If you're looking for a really different and fun experience with amazing seafood; Cervejaria Ramiro is the place to be. The lines get crazy and they don't take reservations but we emailed them and got a reservation. If you can't, get there for 6pm and you'll have no trouble getting in. Keep in mind, the service can be sharp but that's all part of it. So good.
Alfama was definitely our favourite neighbourhood in Lisbon. Getting lost in all the streets was quite charming. When you get close to the Castle, you MUST walk through the street; Patio de Dom Fradique. It's quite, has spectacular views and the graffiti is very cool.
There was a street close by on the way to 'time out' market with some really cool looking restaurants but we never made it to them because we only had 3 nights. The street was Travessa do Carvalho. Check it out.
The city of Belem is a MUST. Another MUST is the famous pastry cafe called; Pasteis de Belem. Ask them what to get, they'll tell you.
Now let's get down to business. Mesa de Frades, a recommendation by Jorge, is a exquisite restaurant with the greatest Fado we've ever seen. If you don't know what Fado is, go and you'll find out. The food is very good and you'll want to stay there all night. We paid €45 each and got an endless supply of food (basically because they keep feeding you), wine (literally! They won't stop bringing you wine until you tell them to stop), water (you'll need this to save yourself from the next day, a tip that I regretfully didn't take). We got there at 8:40pm and didn't leave until 1:30am. Fado starts at 11pm. This is a very small restaurant so you'll need to make reservations which Jorge also did for us.
Jorge, we can't thank you enough for everything. Lisboa, we will see you soon!
