A little out of sequence, but could not be ignored. A company decision to use this as a conference venue hotel left me with no convenient access to the conference centre in Lisbon, but staying at a hotel which made up for that inconvenience. I have reviewed the hotel on TripAdvisor, but here is some of the food.
The high spot was breakfast. Suffering from the usual hotel disease of lack of attention to detail about the temperature of the buffet, it was compensated for by the variety and quality of other items:
It was worth getting up for, and if you get there about 0700, you avoid the rush. We had dinner once in their Italian restaurant, which doubles up as the breakfast restaurant. A small and somewhat unimpressive menu
I had no alternative but to take this with flash. It shows an artistic rack of lamb. Not much meat, but very pretty. Shame about the 7 on the CHOF scale, but the taste and quality were excellent.
I was very sorry to leave this hotel, as it was extremely peaceful and comfortable, but I wish they could realise that their mainly British clientele like hot food to be hot. It is not really part of the 'abroad' experience that one is looking for.
