I'll pick this one as it was one of the most impressive I have been in as far as depth and breadth of history and culinary. We sat for dinner and ate from 11PM until 2AM.
Restaurante BOTIN (El más antiguo del mundo)
Sobrino de Botin
damn... now I want to go back to Mardrid. |
oh oh I've been to this one...twice! Neat
It is a cool place, particularly the atmosphere. The food...I've had better but it was pretty good.
Best restaurant I have ever been to...I'd say there are several.
One of my favourites, because of history, quality of food and service, is "Os Arcos", close to where I live. Very fresh everything, especially seafood. Old-fashioned place but I have never had a less-than-excellent meal there.
For something even higher quality out here, I'd suggest the Restaurant of the Guincho Fortress Hotel. Not only is it a beautiful location, one of the best around here, the food is also amazing. In fact, several of the restaurants around there are awesome, because they have perfect seafood. Here is a pic of the Guincho Coast:
Outside of Portugal, when I was in Brasil in Salvador da Bahia, I had one of the best meals of my life. Oddly enough it was at a Churrascaria.
It was called Boi Preto and it wasn't cheap. Apart from melt-in-your-mouth-like-butter cuts of meat (the best I have ever eaten) brought to your table, it also had an enormous buffet of the freshest delicacies you could think of. They had a giant parmesan cheese all broken up inside you could just grab chunks out of. Lobster. Amazing sushi. I couldn't even decide what to eat, there were so many wonderful things.
Now I'm hungry
