Renowned restaurateur Vivian Durieu has been running A Travessa Restaurante in the winding Travessa das Inglesinhas street in Lisbon since 1978. Discreet and elegant, the Luso-Belgian restaurant has always attracted the cosmopolitan city's intelligentsia, and the down-to-earth dining room – decorated with understated whitewashed walls, vaulted brick ceilings, fresh floral arrangements and chic vintage furniture - is always crowded with politicians, journalists, artists and media types for buzzy business lunches and cosy evening meals. Situated in a historic 17th century convent in the hip Madragoa neighbourhood, A Travessa is one of the city's best kept secrets, and we highly recommend the roast pork, the superb olive oil cake soaked in sweet milk topped with green figs and toasted nuts for pudding.
