This place needs little introduction to Palermitans, it's a very stylish lounge-bar and restaurant on the groundfloor of an important museum with garden area and also the stylishly furnished internal part. A perfect spot for formal parties and a nice place for a refreshening drink as 'aperitivo'. We went there this time (the third time in total) to celebrate our aunty's birthday with a drink and some fingerfood. It was a rainy evening, but we still managed to have a nice time outside. The food was really good and the atmosphere relaxing. The only thing I didn't appreciate was that we had to wait for more than half an hour to get the desserts for the kids. They served the 'sorbetto' to the adults, but the kids had to be patient for a while before they got their fruit and slide of cake (once again, nothing that would need a long prep time). Try it with two small kids at 9pm after a long day. So, my suggestion is to make first the kids happy, this will relax their parents a lot.

Pastel de nata is the most typical dessert in Lisbon and this place is a real gem if you want to taste it (try it with cinnamon) or even better watch how it’s made. Unfortunately, the pastry chefs are not really smiley, but the end product of their confident and experienced moves is out of this world. This café is really stylish and one of the best places we’ve tried.

Nice place, but it only has one big pool and most windows look at this from different angles. Some smaller pools are empty. It gets really crowded, so expect lines in the best spots and definitely book your ticket in advance. We loved the shop, but prices are really high. The same is true for the bar/restaurant.
