Peixe em Lisboa

Every April for 11 days Lisbon plays host to a festival celebrating fish and foods in the Portugal Pavilion of Lisbon's Nations Park.
A treat for all food lovers and connoisseurs this celebration of all things gastronomic is a delight to behold.

The main focus is on seafood as the name might suggest with talks from chefs, producers and critics. There are also open debates on the quality of seafood and its use as a frozen or canned item.

There will be 10 restaurants on site offering tasting menus of fish and seafood for the very reasonable prices of €5 & €8. A list of these restaurants can be had by clicking here.

Live cookery demonstrations are also a daily event with chefs coming from Spain, Italy, France, Brazil and Portugal to showcase their recipes and talents. 

Among them are Bella Masano of 'Amadeus' restaurant, Sao Paulo fame and Jose Avillez who has won a Michelin star for his Belcanto restaurant in Chiado, Portugal.

With wine tastings, children's cookery classes, food stalls and a market there is plenty to amuse and entertain all. For more information on the festival visit http://www.peixemlisboa.com/en/
