We came across it purely by accident the first time. My favourite place in Lisbon is Pharmacia. O Surf & Turf delicious food at O Surf & Turf The food was fresh, smart and oh so very delicious. From the small menu we picked 3 plates to try. All the food was being freshly made, one chef was cleaning and prepping a full octopus in front of us. We sat around a bar that looked onto the small but super efficient kitchen. This was the delicious Surf n Turf by Kiko Martins.
