🌆”Imagine stumbling upon Lost In Esplanada Bar, perched atop the city skyline with a view so stunning, you’d swear the city was showing off just for you. It’s no wonder it’s considered one of the best brunch spots in Lisbon.This is clearly going to be much more than your run-of-the-mill dining experience; for a start it’s an invitation to park yourself in the heart of Principe Real, with a panoramic vista that could easily double as a backdrop for the most dramatic of Instagram posts. The promise of Mediterranean and Oriental flavors set against Lisbon’s skyline had me sold from the outset. In I go…
🍹 I fund myself lounging in what can only be described as an authentic oasis, a Zen retreat amidst the urban hustle. With every sip of your end-of-day cocktail, you’re embarking on a flavor journey designed by a team whose sole mission is to craft unforgettable memories. The mantra here is ‘Shanti Shanti,’ reflecting an inner peace that’s as much a part of the ambiance as the furniture. If serenity had a taste, this would be it.
🌿 Venturing into this oasis reveals two distinct spaces, both inspired by travels to India. It’s like being invited on a voyage without leaving the comfort of your seat. The colors, textures, and sounds—each element borrows from the East to create a peaceful haven. Whether you’re tucked away in the indoor space with its panoramic terrace or basking in the outdoor garden, the vibe is consistently tranquil, proving that sometimes, the caracão of the city is the best place to find peace. And if you’re looking for the best brunch Lisbon has to offer, you’ve found it here.
🍽️ The menu at Lost In Esplanada Bar offers a mouthwatering selection of fusion cuisine, from the bread and snack of the day to the more adventurous smoked shank Golgappa, each dish is a nod to the past, reinvented for the modern palate. It’s a gastronomic journey that respects its roots while daring to explore new territories, blending the best of oriental classics with Portuguese tradition.
🌶️ For those with adventurous taste buds, the menu doesn’t shy away from spice. Whether you’re diving into the vegetable flames or savoring the light heat of the gambas a alhinho, there’s a careful balance of flavors designed to tantalize without overwhelming. And for the main course, dishes like the roasted cod or the caramelized octopus promise a symphony of tastes, each carefully orchestrated to leave a lasting impression.
🍰 Dessert is a joy too; from the traditional bebinca with its 14 layers to the modern twist on the lime and matcha tart, each sweet treat is a finale worth waiting for. It’s the kind of ending that doesn’t just satisfy the sweet tooth but leaves you pondering the complexities of flavor long after the last bite. ‘Why can I never get mine to taste this way??’
☕ As the sun dips below the horizon, marking the end of another Lisbon day, Lost In Esplanada Bar continues to do what oit does best and serve up a blend of relaxation, flavor, and scenic beauty. It’s a place where the city’s panorama is matched only by the depth of its menu, inviting diners to lose themselves in a sensory experience that’s as enchanting as the view.
It’s also a reminder that sometimes, getting lost is the best way to find exactly what you’re looking for.
