Centrally located on the Santa Maria Maior. Ristorante La Squadra is part of “My Story Hotel Figueira”. Sophisticated and grand decor: Stainless steel lighting, open kitchen also with stainless steel appliances. Glass cabinets lined with an extensive wine collection, an entire wall of firewood for the restaurant’s signature wood-fired pizza ovens. All of the above juxtaposed with an exposed stone wall reminiscent of Lisbon’s historical past.

The service was attentive, the prices were a bit on the higher end. The food was great!

We ordered:

4*Grilled Vegetables: pretty good.

5*Bruschetta with Parma Ham,
Pesto Burrata and Sicilian Cherry Tomatoes: very fresh, great!

3*Roast Chicken "Diavola" with Mixed Salad and Homemade French Fries: fries weren’t that good. Chicken was interesting with lots of bones. It was pretty flavorful.

5*Tuna Steak in Pistachio and Almond Crust over Eggplant Caponata and Nuts: tuna was extremely tender and delicious!

5* Octopus skewer: octopus was very tender and tasty, the best I’ve ever had.

It is a very good restaurant, we were pleasantly surprised. Highly recommended!

Truly a nice escape for children, great view and playground

I was stunned by the grand and magnificent Beijing Daxing International airport. I had heard so much about it and finally got a chance to see it in person. I was excited and happy. It was huge to put it mildly as the world's largest terminal built as a single structure. It was high tech, we were unaware of the inspections because they were all done by sensors. My jaw dropped when we walked off the plane and amazed at the orderliness, cleanliness and architectural brilliance. It was not crowded maybe because it was winter and offseason. The customs was easy and passengers passed without delay.
Transportation was easy, it was built to be connected with subways and trains to the city and surrounding areas.

I got there hours early before my departure flight so I could spend time to admire and appreciate the facilities. I wondered from shops to restaurants, and of course to the beautiful Chinese garden. I was speechless. You had to be there to experience it yourself. Pictures and words alone don’t do justice to this spectacular airport.
