Odivelas<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
In the north of Lisbon you’ll find a district called Odivelas, it is close to the Airport and just west of it. It has a significant number of Halal places to eat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zahir Kebab<\/a> – there are multiple branches, it’s a bit like GDK in the UK. We enjoy the food from here on occasion. Two of the branches are a short walk from\/to a Masjid (Centro Cultural Isl\u00e2mico do Colinas do Cruzeiro<\/strong> and the larger Mesquita Aisha Siddika<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smash House Burgers<\/a> – Rua Rainha Santa Isabel 9, Odivelas. As per its name!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plus there are various other Pizza, Indian or Fast\/Grilled food places dotted around this area. Oh and a chai place called “ChaiiCafe”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Further Afield<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Mariscaria (Seafood)<\/strong>, R. das Flores 8, 2750-348 Cascais<\/strong>, Portugal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adventures<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
A visit to Lisbon is not complete without heading to Belem <\/strong>and once you’ve explored the local Museums (the Earthquake one is particularly interesting), Jeronimos Monastry<\/strong> and climbed up the Torre de Belem<\/strong> you cannot leave until you have visited Pasteis de Belem<\/strong>. Yes, the queues can be big but the service turnaround is quick and the place is a veritable maze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aside from great Pasteis de Natas they serve great coffee and other brilliant pastries and sweet treats too…here’s evidence of that greatness:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
There are quite a few Manteigaria bakerys in Lisbon, they cook their Natas daily so they are fresh. I’m going to say it, their Natas are better than those in Belem and their galoa is amazing! Enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, pretty much all the food at all the places we went too (no, not everywhere on this list, but we’ll work our way through it all eventually) was great. My personal fav was Pak Grelha, the mutton biryani I had was amazing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
