Fifty Seconds

Parque das Nações


This hot newcomer is named for the time it takes the lift to whisk foodies up the long-unused, 120m-high Vasco de Gama Tower at the Myriad by Sana Hotel. Superstar chef Martín Berasategui masterfully marries Basque-grounded fusion with Portuguese ingredients – cod brandade with camomile and yuzu mayo, pork cannelloni with smoked aubergine tortellini – at Lisbon's most exciting new gastronomic experience.

The sexy, 360° panoramic space sees Berasategui bring his eight–Michelin–starred CV to shake things up in one of Lisbon's less impressive food neighbourhoods.
