6.2.36 Aguarela Bar and Kitchen

[UPDATE April 19 - down the page] [UPDATE July 27 - showing "Temporarily Closed" again. Will try and find out what's going on. In the meantime, be warned] Rua Angelina Vidal 23 Location HERE . Open from 1800 to 2330 hours; closed Monday and Tuesday. Opened on the 24th October 2025, and yes, there is a link between this outlet and Outro Lado in the Old Downtown. At the top of Rua Angelina Vidal, so it qualifies as being in Graça, although that area is more usually known as Sapadores, the part of Graça where full-sized buses pass through, not just minibuses and trams. When the weather is warm and dry enough, the terrace comes into its own, with views down Rua Angelina Vidal. You can watch the trams, often carrying a crush load, while enjoying eats and drinks. The terrace will be a very important aspect of this outlet, especially as the indoor space - not unlike the Oitava Colina Taproom nearby - is small. Beers on tap mainly from Aguarela. And a noticeable push to sell more...

The month has begun with more of that very warm weather; the mercury in Lisbon hit 40 degrees Celsius on the 3rd. There will be more days with temperatures in the mid-30s. So keep on keeping hydrated. Torre de Belém No more of those two-hour waits for a year or so. In fact, no waits at all, because the Torre de Belém has closed for renovations. It’s a very old structure, and the daily assault by tourists has meant push coming to shove. The renovation work will probably take a whole year to complete - so don’t expect it to reopen until well into 2026. Tram 28 At last, folks! The 28 is back to its full route, all the way from Prazeres to Martim Moniz. Also, the 12 has been returned to turning at Camões, so if you’re in central Lisbon, and can’t get on a 28, the 12 might be worth a look. Craft Beer News BREW! Chiado has a tap takeover by Siren Craft Brew. AMO Brewery has a variation on their Coyote IPA. It’s still strong, and still worth sampling. No news yet on Desfile dos Classicos, the...

Padrão dos Descobrimentos , on the Belém waterfront, has reopened! Works on the “ water mirror ” fountain in Parque Recreativo Alto da Serafina have been completed, and the result is worth a visit on its own. The 770 bus from the north side of Sete Rios will take you there - an ideal place to chill for an hour or two, especially in the summer heat. Water Mirror at Alto da Serafina Next Sunday, May 18th, is International Museums Day, and Museu da Carris - the bus and tram museum - is offering free admission. Link HERE . For beer lovers, there is a craft beer festival on Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th May, called Ponte & Pints, at Escala 25, below the Ponte 25 de Abril, on the north side of the Avenida da India, and close to the LX Factory. 14 craft brewers from across Portugal will be represented. There will also be food trucks, and what is called a “sustainable market”. Link HERE . On the subject of craft beer outlets, Crafty Corner , situated on the south side of the Cathedral, h...
