Ponto Final
If you’re looking to escape the city’s hustle and bustle then you might want to stop by at Ponto Final. This charming eatery next to the waterfront on the other side of Lisbon is renowned for its stunning city view. You’ll have to visit Ponto Final by ferry (Cais de Sodre to Cacilhas) but reaching this slightly hard-to-find restaurant is entirely worth the trip; the location is superb. Ponto Final serves a tiny but honest menu with authentic cooking skills.

Portuguese chef Kiko Martins was a nomad traveling the world, exploring gastronomy from various continents before bringing all his favorite recipes to Lisbon, creating incredible dining experiences with a twist. Best ceviche we have ever tasted. The cocktails are also pure finesse.
