It’s Friday! From a new ramen-ya to a historic weekend for the city, here’s what’s on our radar.
EDP Lisbon Marathon 🏃 One of the most scenic marathons in Europe returns this weekend to the streets of Lisbon. The full marathon starts Saturday in Carcavelos and follows the coastline all the way to Praça do Comércio. On Sunday, the Half Marathon sets off from the Vasco da Gama Bridge. A running weekend that turns the whole city into a stage.
Game Changers Forum VI 💬 On Friday 10 October, the MEO Arena hosts the largest edition yet of this annual leadership forum, this time with Barack Obama as the headline speaker. Under the theme “What Success Looks Like?”, more than 20 national and international speakers gather for an afternoon of conversation on leadership, resilience and impact.
Yokocho Ramen 🍜 A new ramen-ya at Praça das Flores, where everything is made from scratch: broths, noodles, toppings. Four signature ramens on the menu, plus a weekly special that changes. Open kitchen, counter seating and a room that feels like it was lifted from a Tokyo side street. A recent opening worth knowing.
Hinô 🥞 A pan-Asian café and brunch spot on Rua dos Jerónimos, steps from the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos in Belém. The best-sellers are the Japanese soufflé pancakes, impossibly fluffy and tall, alongside Hong Kong-style open-faced toasts and signature sweet drinks. A gentle, unhurried place to start the day in one of the city’s most beautiful corners.
Make it a weekend to remember.
