Cascais, Portugal
Hífen can be misleading from outside: what looks like a traditional and old fashioned Portuguese restaurant is actually one of the most interesting additions to the Cascais scene (can we already talk about a scene ?). The modern and surprising restaurant is split between a happening downstairs, with louder music and high tables, and a more quiet upstairs with one of the best views of the fishing port of Cascais. The food is delicious: based on sharing, it is inventive, mixing unexpected flavours together. Very successfully.
But one question remains: why do Portuguese restaurants, even those we prefer, need to have a TV ? Could certainly do without.
That said, Hífen is a great place for inventive food and good time.
