Postcard from Lisbon with Filipa de Abreu

Olá from Lisbon, home to tastemaker, globetrotter, and ultra-chic friend Filipa de Abreu. We’ve been following Filipa on her adventures for quite some time, and this year, we asked: can we come along, too?

In our new Postcards travel series, Filipa brings us to exciting destinations in impeccable style, sharing her expert tips on what to see, what to eat, and of course, what to wear.

Destination: Lisbon

“The city is one big Instagram backdrop. From the river, to the architecture, to the tiles, and the seven hills, the best way to discover Lisbon is to get lost in the city.”

Where to Eat:

Aqui Ha Peixe
“No one cooks better fish than chef Miguel. A family-owned restaurant that will be a forever classic.”

JNcQUOI ASIA
“The food is outstanding. It has a lovely outdoor terrace and the best dumplings in town.”

Da Noi
“It’s a small restaurant–and nearly impossible to get a table–but I’m always reminded why that is. The food is just so delicious.”

Where to Shop:

A Vida Portuguesa
“A curated selection of the best of Portugal, including soaps, olive oils, traditional Portuguese jewelery and books. It’s like time traveling to a world of elegance and tradition.”

Principe Real Linens
“A small family-owned store run by a gentleman that insists on calling every woman “Madame.” I love the embroidered bed sheets and tablecloths.”

Insider Pick:

Calouste Gulbenkian Museum
“My favorite in Lisbon. A must see, its brutalist exterior contains an impressive art collection named after its founder.”

Don’t Leave Without Trying:

Pasteis de Nata
“These delicious custard tarts are simply the most delicious pastry in the world. I can’t name my favorite place, as I don’t want to start an online dispute. Better you walk the city and try as many as you can from different spots.”

What to Pack:
