✔️ Seafood > soggy crisps
✔️ Chill beats, not bangers

Costa da Caparica, just outside Lisbon, gets it right - striped umbrellas, barefoot lunches, fresh ceviche, and caipirinhas with a view.

📅 Some restaurants drop seats like sneaker releases - 30, 60, even 90 days out - set an alert.
🍽️ Lunch > dinner, same menu and less noise.
🪑 Be two = easier to get yes’ed.
🔑 Ask the concierge = They know the whole city.
🔔 Turn on notifications and join the waitlist - (be strategic)
🕰️ Book earlier reservations = escape chaos.
📲 Follow your favourite restaurants, stories are the new walk-ins.
🙂 Solo = Don`t be shy + just walk in + smile and ask.
