Tasca da Esquina – A corner of delight
"Tasca da Esquina" in Lisbon could be almost called the small, simple, down-to-earth restaurant at the corner, but it's run by famous chef Vitor Sobral!

Sol e Pesca – Looks fishy in every possible aspect
"Sol e Pesca" in Lisbon used to sell fishing equipment. Now it's a bar that uses the same theme: it follows the neighbourhood's harbor theme - very cool!

About me
About me
What started out as a 6-month internship at Unilever Portugal in 2001 has developed into a long-term relationship with Lisbon. And still going strong!
Although born and raised in the Netherlands, Portugal (and especially Lisbon) has become my second home. Lisbon was never a conscious choice, it just crossed my path. After several years of marketing ice creams and beer (not at the same time!), I am currently heading an interactive marketing agency here in Portugal.
When I was asked to join the Spotters of Lisbon I was doubly delighted. As a foreigner living abroad I really could recognize the value of a site like this one. And working in the field of digital marketing, I do not need to stress the power of the web.
I am fortunate enough to live in downtown Lisbon and I hope some of my enthusiasm of this beautiful city will rub off on you!
Good food is something I very much care about. Most of my spots are therefore about eating experiences, something of which there is no lack of in Lisbon. I would love to hear your thoughts on my posts, so feel free to “talk back”.
The Lisbon Sales Brochure:
- Which other capital has the perfect climate, is never too hot in the summer and pleasant in the winter?
- In which other European capital can you escape the confusion in only 30 minutes and eat fantastic seafood on a pristine beach?
- Lisbon has all the comforts of a big European capital but it still is able to maintain its unique charm.
- Here you can still wander around in small alleys, get a feel of the local sights and smells.
- And the Portuguese. They are a lovely bunch. I even married one!
