Restaurante Terreiro do Paço - Lisboa

Love the lisbon experience and this square and all the power this conveys..Great People watching and great view of the ocean...

This square is huge in size and is just across the road from the river. It has a wonderful central monument with large black and white figures of a horseman along with a rampaging horse and an elephant.

It's a central place in Lisbon. Lots of people and restaurants around. Street vendors and local talent. It's a pretty place to walk around. I wouldn't call it spectacular but it's nice.

Decent food without being anywhere near any top standards. Again I found a place where the cook was apparently unable to “cook” rice. They were surly reheated. It cannot be that hard.

This is a large, airy square bordered on one side by historic buildings, on the other by the water and on two sides by numerous eating places. It is a great place to get a feel for Lisbon, to have a relaxed meal, watch the world go by or take a boat trip. There are impressive statues and various cultural groups were performing dances and playing music when we were there. Well worth visiting.
