If I Only Had 48 hours in Lisbon this is how I would spend it [Music] see you soon in this episode we will be visiting the late Anthony Bourdain's favorite restaurant in Lisbon and also checking out an authentic father house hopefully by the end of this episode you'll feel like you're right in Lisbon with me let's go the Tower of bullying is the gateway to Lisbon located at the mouth of the teju river it was built as a fort to protect any Intruders and it was also the embarkation and disembarkation for the Portuguese explorers here you can wait in a long line to try the original recipe for the famous pastel de NATO [Music] everywhere you look in Lisbon every minute detail there is craftsmanship and Beauty you look down at the stone streets and there are these ornate black and white designs pounded Stone by Stone into the pathways then you look up and entire buildings are covered by these beautiful colored tiles called azules but believe it or not these tiles are not originally Portuguese the term azules has Arabic Roots meaning small polished Stone the first examples of posolejus in Portugal date back to the late 15th century the art of creating them began on the Iberian Peninsula with the Moors who brought their Mosaic techniques to decorate the walls of their palaces with intricate geometric patterns symbolizing opulence if you're interested in seeing some of the most beautiful tile works of Lisbon I would definitely recommend checking out the national tile Museum I decided to have lunch in this area this is one of the most beautiful streets in Lisbon due to its large trees it is arguably the main street of Lisbon and a great place to hide from the Sun on a very hot day the street is lined with bougie designer stores like Louis Vuitton not really my style but there are some great hidden restaurants in the back streets one of them being ajina because sardines are currently in season there couldn't be a dish more lijibowa it is a nice off the beaten path authentic Portuguese restaurant that is frequented by local Professionals for lunch there is a nice outdoor patio and bar which is great for the warmer weather months if you are visiting Lisbon from June to September this is when the sardines are in their Prime and will be freshly brought in Daily the Portuguese have an art to eating these things since there are so many bones you must use the cutlery to remove the meat successfully I have always loved sardines and Portugal is probably one of the best places to have sardines in the entire world in Lisbon there is no shortage of incredible street art this is one of my favorite artists ad fuel [Music] a lot of his murals create the illusion that a layer of the building is being ripped away and beneath lies the colorful tiles that Portugal is so famous for [Music] up until the 17th century the city had a tradition of completely white buildings but after the devastating earthquake of 1755 that nearly leveled the entire city locals began to add color and decorative tiles to the exterior walls and Pavements this over time led to welcoming street art that now covers many of the buildings all over Lisbon [Music] thank you arguably the most famous street artist in Portugal right now is boredalo II who creates incredible 3D murals of animals by repurposing garbage found around the city he calls himself an artavist and there is always a strong environmental message behind each of his works the street art in Lisbon is hard to miss but there are many different street art tours and free street art Maps if you are interested all over the Internet okay so a little while ago I did a video about the top 12 things not to do in Lisbon and one of those things were riding in the tuk-tuks well I received a very long comment maybe one of the longest comments that I've ever had on a video from a guy named DJ Mario so as you can tell by this long comment you can see that he is very upset he says that he's gonna unsubscribe to the channel and ask me if I've ever even ridden in a tuk-tuk and offers to give me a tuk-tuk ride free of charge well we are about to go meet up with Mario right now and take him up on that Free Ride let's go we're currently out here looking for Mario but there are tuk-tuks everywhere and uh I don't know which one's in Mario [Music] Mario how are you how are you oh yeah nice to meet you very nice to meet you my friend pleasure first of all I have to apologize for a slight for the slightly harsh comment that I've made on your video but I was really pissed no problem hey no problem we're gonna make that up today so I'm going to give you the standard tour that I do give all my clients if you want to go into the tuk-tuk I'll give you some security pointers so keep your self developed okay on at all times okay please okay all right okay so keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle and always try to exit by the sidewalk side all right let's do this looking forward to it [Music] after each corner so yeah I'm excited to see it through your eyes today so dude I don't know I never told you this but I'm I'm also a DJ you know like um I started DJing when I was 16 and it's I still DJ actually and during winter time I I stopped doing the tuk-tuk tours and I go back to being a DJ because you know like once a DJ for every DJ [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] you're going to find something that's guaranteed whether it's a Roman Pottery or uh uh an Arab burial ground you're going to find something so that's what we should tell people to come and see our culture our history what we should sell Lisbon like like a cultural destination not just like a place that you can take a low-cost flight for and for 20 euros go there for a weekend and get drunk and do silly things on the streets which is pretty much what we are what we are seeing now yeah Lisbon transforms at night and the by who Alto is where many of Europe's 18 year olds come to get drunk for the first time [Music] although in the daylight hours there are some really nice cafes and restaurants in this area it wouldn't be a proper Lisbon evening if we didn't visit a father house for dinner and we were lucky enough to snag a reservation at all Corrido Casa de father [Music] music is the heart of the Portuguese soul [Music] oh my God one of the oldest folk music Styles in the world its Origins are unclear a popular theory is that it started out at Sea as the sad melodic songs were created by homesick Sailors and fishermen the musicians are like jukeboxes the photo singer comes up and calls the tune meaning that they've never rehearsed it together and you will likely never hear it the same way ever again [Music] there is something so powerful Hearing fadu in a fadu house the small rooms usually have incredibly intimate Acoustics you could hear a feather drop in here [Music] same [Music] thing all father is dominated by the sentiment known as saudad a word that cannot be precisely defined in English but is roughly translated to a deep yearning [Music] food [Music] its lyrics are often sad and a father performance is not successful if an audience is not moved to tears father traditionally is not to be applauded [Music] if you want an authentic father experience I would highly recommendo father house [Music] today we are visiting the Tiffin Cafe that specializes in local organic vegetarian dishes and you don't have to be a vegan or vegetarian to appreciate how good this food is [Music] foreign [Music] neighborhood is home to a beautiful Market there are many local food stands with things like homemade jams and dried fruit along with some great lunch options I just love markets like these and usually when I visit a city for the first time I always make it a point to find these markets this is a great place to go on a hot day and recharge a bit [Music] here's a little secret this is the last stop of the infamous tram 28 which is one of the best Tram routes in all of Lisbon if you catch it here which is the last stop you will bypass the long and big crowds at Marti monish the first stop you will thank me later for this [Applause] [Music] an alternative to Campo tuarique is the bustling timeout Market this is a food Hall where you can dip your toes into the Portuguese cuisine and also try some amazing desserts and pastries foreign [Music] as the sun begins to set I advise you to get to a miradoru or a Viewpoint as soon as you possibly can this is exactly what Mario and I did while enjoying a nice beer at the end of the tour Mario quoted Casablanca and said I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship and I couldn't agree more Lisbon has a way of getting into your bones kind of like the cold in a Portuguese house in the winter I hope that Lisbon doesn't change too much because I like her just the way she is and hopefully this if you come to visit Lisbon please leave it better than you found it [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] you know how to find me if you are interested in taking a tuk-tuk ride in Lisbon I highly recommend Mario he is a Lisbon native and all-around great person and knows all of the history of the city there is a link in the description below to his Facebook and you can message him there and book a ride with him ever since I had heard of Lisbon I wanted to come to this restaurant featured on Anthony Bourdain's no reservation this is Ramiro this is my favorite type of restaurant in Lisbon a No-Frills working class seafood restaurant if the waiter seems like he's upset with you he probably is and if he's not you're in the wrong restaurant this is where you can try Portugal's most iconic Seafood like persebish which is goose barnacles tiger shrimp the size of your head which I confuse with a lobster an incredible Lobster so fresh they bring him to you alive to show you before they cook them and now I see why this was one of Anthony Bourdain's favorite restaurants while visiting Lisbon the restaurant has gained so much hype over the past decade that they had to buy the restaurant next door just to turn into a waiting room like the DMV it's easy to see why Lisbon has become one of my favorite cities in the entire world if you come to Lisbon make sure to leave it better than you found it and have an awareness and respect for the locals that have been here a very very long time if you want to see more content about Portugal make sure to hit the like And subscribe button this is some guy named Dave in Portugal and we'll see you next time foreign [Music]
