春の旅行記でポルトガルの部分を欠落させてしまったが、忘れてはいけない店がふたつあった。そのひとつがO Commercial。日本で言えば経団連みたいな団体があって、そのビルは歴史的建造物なので館内ツアーもできる。我々は ランチの予約を入れて、それまでの待ち時間を埋めるべくツアーに参加した。看板には前衛ポルトガル料理と謳っており、ここは絶対お薦めとフランスの友人から言われたお店だ。中はゆったりとして静かで、落ち着いて昼食が取れるレストランだった。この雰囲気は素晴らしい。穴場なのか客は少ない。料理はどれも品のあるプレゼンテーションで、供されるハウスワインもしっかり美味しい物を選んでおり、給仕に尋ねるとデパートで買えるよと答えていた。€15ランチとしては抜群のコスト･パーフォーマンスと断言できる。
I failed to cover the portion in Portugal in my past trip uploads, but we had actually a couple of lunches that should be remembered. One is O Commerical in Lisboa. Portuguese commercial industry owns a historical building in Lisboa, and they organize interesting tours inside. We booked our lunch at their museum shop and a tour was ideal to kill time before eating. This restaurant was strongly recommended by a friend in Paris, and the panel in front said "progressive Portuguese cuisine".
As we go in, the restaurant was not busy at all unexpectedly, but the area was calm, quiet and spacious. Also, the service was appropriately attentive for us to fully enjoy a wonderful lunch. Dishes were all beautifully prepared and the wines that came with were nice. I asked about these bottles to the waiter who told us they were available in the local department store, too. This was a superb €15 lunch!!
