A. Start the day with a coffee at the old school Cafe A Brasileira, at Rua Garrett 120, where the price of an espresso (“um bica”) has recently increased to €1 - but which represents excellent value thanks to decor and waiters who appear to have been around for many decades.

For brunch or lunch at weekends (10am-4pm), my colleague Sophie Lam recommends Deli Deluxe at Avenida Infante Dom Henrique 8, “a bourgeois food emporium with a small café that spills onto a terrace”, for scrambled eggs with Serrano ham, smoked salmon or asparagus For dinner, climb to the Bairro Alto and seek out Primavera do Jeronimo at Travessa da Espera 34, a tiny tasca (tavern) with heavenly seafood, especially bacalhau (salt cod), the city's signature dish.
