Another question...I would like to visit a vineyard during my visit. Are there any to visit in the Lisbon/Cascais/Setubal area. Thanks in advance. Jenny

I appreciate all the information. Eric, the yellow pages site is exactly what I was looking for Molly, I look forward to hearing about your travels to Portugal in the end of May. Have a wonderful trip. Jenny

Eric, Thank you for all of your suggestions. Do you have some other favorites that I have not listed in either Cascais or Lisbon? I too cannot wait to try the grilled sardines Have you ever tried the gelato at Santini? Ice cream/gelato must always be part of my culinary tour! Jenny

Thank you for the replies thus far. We have decided that our dinners will be in Cascais and Lisbon based on where we are staying. For the 2 nights in Cascais, I am thinking of going to: - Beira Mar - Restaurante O Pereira For the other nights in Lisbon, these are on my list: - Ramiro - Solar dos Leitoes - A Cabrita (Cacilhas) - O Batareo - O Coreto de Carnide (?) - A Coutada (?) - Solar dos Nunes(?) I have found some information about these restaurants, but would greatly appreciate any opinions, favorite dishes, prices, thoughts, locations, nights closed, phone numbers, etc...regarding my choices. I leave the first week of June. Thanks in advance. Jenny

I will be in Lisbon from June 10-18. I have a meeting the afternoon of the 11th, but will be free for the remainder of the time. My friend and I would like to explore Lisbon, but also get out of the city to see the "real" Portugal. Our tentative plan is to head north along the coast, maybe up to Nazare and work our way back down to Lisbon and maybe south of the Tagus before we leave on the 18th. I have gotten a lot of great restaurant recommendations, especially those from Miguel. However, I would appreciate any insight as to what to see, where to eat, and where to stay in the north as well as south of the Tagus. I thought these areas would be best for sampling the best fish and seafood of the region, but I welcome any suggestions. Thanks, Jenny
