Make the most of high summer with this smokey, citrusy recipe from Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon.
The hotel is located right in the heart of the city; it sits across from the Parque Eduardo VII city park and is within close proximity to the Gulbenkian Museum and Castle of São Jorge.
A historic landmark within Lisbon, it was originally built in the 1950s when dictator António de Oliveira Salazar thought that the capital city had no suitable accommodations for important guests.

Opt for private yoga classes or surf lessons at the nearby beach in Costa da Caparica (a spot beloved by locals) or create your own memento by visiting the renowned Viúva Lamego tile-making factory and learn the centuries-old tradition of Portuguese tile painting.
