Last dinner in Portugal at ZunZum https://www.zunzum.pt/en/ in Lisbon before an early flight back home. The nice ambience of the restaurant was quite different than most other restaurants we have been in Portugal and wouldn’t be out of place in a trendy, new restaurant in San Francisco. Very good dishes with a well thought out menu covering classic preparation like francesinha but also some with an interesting twist like brioche with braised sardines and ankimo.
Overall, a perfect ending to our (culinary) visit to Portugal
