The Traditional Taberna:Located in the heart of Bairro Alto, near Largo do Chiado, Taberna da Rua das Flores is one of my favorite traditional Portuguese restaurants. The menu features genuine Portuguese dishes covering both northern and southern regions. Local traditions can still be appreciated here: The wine is served in low glasses, some dishes are best shared and the special blend of lemonade is a must. Keep in mind that Taberna da Rua das Flores doesn't take reservations, and guests have to pay in cash. Try to dine on the earlier side, as the Portuguese often take their dinner late, so you'll have a better chance of getting a table before the locals arrive.The Yoga Studio:One of the first things I did upon moving to Lisbon was look for a yoga studio. Just steps from my flat in Lapa, in the budding neighborhood of Santos, I found exactly what I was looking for in Baraza. Owners Alex and Ruby opened Baraza with the desire to create a hub of activity, community and inclusion. The classes are hosted in English, and the studio opens it doors to teachers from all over the world. You can drop in for a class or sign up online via the mindbody app.
