A Cut Above the Rest!

The Panoramic Restaurant in the Sheraton Lisboa

By Madelyn Miller

Which is more spectacular? The view or the food? You will have to try this incredible restaurant in a breathtaking setting for yourself. You might even want to go twice--once for the food and once for the view.

The renowned view of the Sheraton Lisboa has been enhanced by the top new restaurant in town. The result is a combination of what the “eating out” experience should be. A relaxing, luxurious, welcoming environment, blended with the delectable menu created by well known Executive Chef, Dany Dagher.

Open daily, from19.00 to 23.00, the Panorama Restaurant is the perfect location to enjoy a superb dining experience, followed by drinks in the Panorama Bar, which is open from 18.00 to 02.00 in the morning.

Why not enjoy Lisbon at your feet!

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Travel tips for Portugal.

Many museums are closed on Mondays. The normal hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Tuesday to Sunday. Smaller and private museums may have different opening times.

The major religion of the country is Roman Catholicism. Church services are held most evenings and every Sunday morning as well as on religious holidays.

Voltage in Portugal is 220volts and plugs have two round pins. Most hotel bathrooms offer built-in adapters for electric razors, but you will need to supply your own adapter for other appliances. Public telephones may be used for phoning internally or abroad, either with coins or cards.

Shopping

Pottery, ceramics and tiles are plentiful and make wonderful souvenirs. White lace and embroidery items are also beautifully hand-made in the country. Port wine is a nice gift for yourself after you arrive home and want to remember the wonderful time you had in Madeira as you enjoy some savory port.
