Hey, I’m in Lisbon for 24 hours next week with my family. My daughters are in their late teens so want to take them out to dinner somewhere fun or an area that is fun. Can you please point me in the right direction? Also, what area is the best to go shopping for street fashion – boutique style?

Good to hear from you!
You’ve got one day in Lisbon, two teenage daughters, and high expectations. No problem. Let’s make this quick and painless.
Shopping:
For boutique street style, head to Baixa-Chiado, Santos, or LX Factory—these are your best bets for indie spots. Here's a hit list:
- Latte – Quirky, avant-garde.
- Son of a Gun – Edgy streetwear.
- The Fleeting Room – Indie, rotating brands.
- Homecore – Street staples.
If you’re after luxury, Avenida da Liberdade is Lisbon’s Bond Street. But for boutique street wear? Stick to Baixa-Chiado, São Bento and Santos. Check out Nude Project downtown, too—new, fresh, buzz-worthy.
Dinner:
This depends on what you’re into, but here are the standouts:
- Alma – Gorgeous plates, food for the soul.
- Sala da Corte – Honestly, the best steak in Lisbon
- Koppu – Ramen that’ll convert you.
- Belcanto – Michelin-starred magic, if you’re feeling fancy.
- Forno de Oro – Pizza, but make it Michelin.
Final tip? Uber is ridiculously cheap in comparison to London, so no worries getting from A to B.
Enjoy Lisbon—quick, but make it count. Let us know if you'd like recommendations on coffee, brunch, or wine.
