Jorge D'Amália – A steak with a horseback egg?
"Jorge D'Amália" is a tasca in Lisbon that serves amazing bitoques, steaks with a horseback fried egg. In my opinion it doesn't get more Lisboan than this.

Marvila & Beato – Digital Nomads paradise
"Marvila & Beato" are two neighborhoods in Lisbon going through beautiful and well-thought out gentrification which when done bad has spoilt other places.

Museu do Oriente – Lisbon's best brunch
"Museu do Oriente" Lisbon has the best brunch in town. I like to book the 14:30 - 17:00 slot and skip lunch....

"Mercearia do Páteo Alfacinha" Lisbon is a old restaurant that's been around since 1981 which has a piece of history attached to it and a delicious menu!

Café Império – Steak & football empire
"Café Império" Lisbon was restored 10 years ago, bringing back the glamour from the 50's. The Cinema was closed, but the café and the restaurant re-opened.

Livraria Ler Devagar – Industrial bookstore
"Livraria Ler Devagar" Lisbon is inside a giant factory that was once abandoned. What I love about the bookstore/cafe? The 'Gepeto meets industrial' vibe.

About me
About me
My name’s Nuno and I was born and raised in Lisbon. I studied Tourism and worked for the Estoril Coast Tourism Board for 5 long years. Soon I started travelling a lot, learning different languages - from Russian to Mandarin - and getting to know different countries and cultures. You can tell I fought on both sides of the war.
Now I write for several blogs and I'm a tour guide at Get Lost Go Local and We Hate Tourism Tours.
I like driving my noisy old Renault 4l with her tired engine with thousand kilometers in the narrow streets of Lisbon. I'm also a musician.
Why Lisbon?
I went to Berlin for 90 days and started discovering the city and exploring all the new spots following hints from locals and finding about new ones every week. Soon I started writing about the new spots, and all the things I missed from Lisbon. Now that I'm a Spotter, I’ll show you the hidden spots in one of the oldest cities in Europe and all the things I missed.
And why Lisbon? Lisbon is changing, but has some old places that are still hidden. It’s a small town and everything is near. Locals are really friendly. I love the hills (a thing I missed in other cities I've been to). There's our delicious local food, without any kind of tricks, just real products like excellent fish and olive oil...
The sun: There’s a light in Lisbon different from any other place I've been to. Maybe because of Tagus, I don't know…well, you must see for yourself.
