The Vogue Fashion’s Night Out in Lisbon: More Than Fashion

My First Vogue Fashion’s Night Out in Lisbon!

Where were you last night? It started wrong for me. The day before the event, we were 4 highly motivated! Then yesterday, everyone canceled. Urban temper! Never mind, I decided to go with my faithful companion, my Canon and a little newcomer, my new phone ; )

Already three years ago, I attended the Paris Vogue Fashion’s Night Out, Avenue Montaigne, more formal and … Much less relaxed than the Lisbon one which was very festive and friendly! It’s funny because it rained all day long (today too!), but the night was pretty hot!

From Principe Real To Barrio Alto: Everything Is More Beautiful At Night!

First stop in a great neighborhood, Principe Real full of people last night! Pictures 1 and 4: Embaixiada and picture 2: the coffee, bar and restaurant in Embaixiada, Le Jardin which overlooks a bohemian garden. Picture 3: Big up to the Carolina at 21 PR Concept Store, the coolest girl that night!

Picture 5 (below): nice projection on the facade of the CS Vintage Lisboa Hotel. Picture 6: the traffic! Picture 7: live music in Bairro Alto, apparently the audience enjoyed it. The music was outdated and the MC pretty bad (80s hits such as “Last Night a DJ Saved My Life”). Picture 8: the famous tram! And picture 9: the beautiful Museu de São Roque where I spent a long time.

The Great Surprise of The Evening: A Visit To The Museu de São Roque

When I told you that here the Vogue Fashion’s Night Out is more than just a fashion event, thankfully otherwise I couldn’t stay for long! I took the opportunity to discover this rich religious art of the museum and the magnificent church, Igreja de São Roque Museum. 

I enjoyed a private tour of the museum with the curators and guides. Picture 11 (below): the Igreja de São Roque and picture 12: one of the chapels of the church dating from the eighteenth century. Picture 10: the lovely courtyard with a soothing atmosphere, where a DJ played good eletro music.

In Chiado: Too Many People!

Unable to move in this dense crowd (picture 13)! And I couldn’t stand people to walk on my new Skechers Go Walk! Honestly I’m not a big fan of the look of these shoes (and I can’t understand why they are the big trend of this fall/winter)! But I love their incredible comfort: the soleplate takes the shape of the foot!  A bless for this kind of night out (review in a future post)!

Bravely I went down to Santini, but looking at the line, I quickly forgot to have an ice cream! A nightmare to walk back to Bairro Alto, some great live Cuban music (picture 14) … How can people go shopping in these conditions?

Vogue Fashion’s Night Out à Lisbonne

Ma première Vogue Fashion’s Night Out à Lisbonne!

Et vous, où étiez-vous hier soir? Tout a débuté de travers : la veille, nous étions 4, très motivés! Puis le J, tout le monde s’est décommandé, brèves d’urbains! Qu’à cela ne tienne, j’ai décidé d’y aller avec mon plus fidèle compagnon, mon Canon et un petit dernier, mon nouveau phone ; )

Il y a 3 ans (déjà!), j’assistais à celle de Paris, avenue Montaigne, plus formelle, très fashion-machin… Bref nettement moins cool, à des années lumières de celle de Lisbonne, très festive et bon enfant! C’est marrant parce qu’il a plu toute la journée (aujourd’hui aussi, des cordes!), mais la nuit a été très douce, limite chaude!

De Principe Real à Bairrio Alto: tout est plus beau la nuit!

Première halte dans un de mes quartiers préférés, Principe Real, bondé de monde hier soir! Photos 1 et 4 : Embaixiada et photo 2 : toujours dans Embaixiada, le café-bar-restaurant, Le Jardin qui a vue sur un jardin bohème. Photo 3 : Big up to Carolina au 21 PR Concept Store, de loin la fille la plus cool de cette soirée!

Ci-dessous, photo 5 : le CS Vintage Lisboa Hotel. Photo 6 : les embouteillages! Photo 7 : “Concert” à Bairro Alto, les gens appréciaient, j’ai trouvé ça limite et le MC mauvais (tubes des années 80 type “Last Night a DJ Saved My Life”!). Photo 8 : le fameux tram! Et Photo 9 : le très beau Museu de São Roque où je suis restée un long moment.

L’excellente surprise de cette soirée: la visite du Museu de São Roque 

Quand je vous disais que la Vogue Fashion’s Night Out, c’est plus que de la “Fashion”, heureusement sinon je ne pourrai pas tenir! J’en ai profité pour découvrir ce riche musée d’art religieux et sa magnifique église attenante, Igreja de São Roque.

J’ai eu droit à une visite guidée privée avec les conservateurs du musée. Ci-dessous, photo 11 : l’Igreja de São Roque et photo 12 : une des chapelles de l’église, datant du XVIIIième siècle. Photo 10 : la très agréable cour intérieure, où officiait un DJ (bonne musique et cadre apaisant). Je continue vers Chiado.

A Chiado : trop, beaucoup de trop de monde!

Impossible d’avancer dans cette foule compacte (photo 13)! Et moi qui ne ne supporte pas qu’on marche sur mes nouvelles Sketchers Go Walk! Niveau look, ça été dur (incompréhensible tendance de cet automne hiver)! Mais niveau confort, j’en suis dingue : la semelle prend la forme du pied, un bonheur pour ce type de virée nocturne (une review dans un prochain post)!

Je descends courageusement jusqu’au glacier Santini : je n’irai pas plus bas et j’oublie très vite toute possibilité d’une glace! On fait du sur place, musique cubaine (photo 14)… Comment les gens peuvent-il faire du shopping dans ces conditions?

3 Restaurants in Lisbon, Portugal

Restaurants in Lisbon-Cervejaria da Esquina-1-Photo Mademoiselle Le K-copyright 2013

Oops who spoke about diet? LOL! Invitations, no way to refuse them, right? Especially when different friends invited me to three restaurants, with different atmospheres, foods and interiors! Dinner with girlfriends, arty lunch in a funky hostel and a more formal restaurant of Portuguese cuisine. For all three, it is best to book ahead. 

1. CERVEJARIA DA ESQUINA (pictures above & 2) 

First crush for the good atmosphere, people are easy going and the service is nice! And the food is creative. Delicious fried (but not greasy) shrimps with a super yummy avocado sauce. And as a dessert, although I’m not found of chocolate mousse (no, it’s true!) … I cracked for one! Lovely dishes presentation and the minimalist  decor could be Nordic! Thanks girls, you were able to cheer me up!  Rue Correia Teles n°56, Campo de Ourique. T. (+351) 213 874 644.

2. THE DECADENTE (picture above and lay out below) 

And here is my second fav! Bohemian attitude in Bairro Alto: the interior is a fresh mix of vintage and design and the atmosphere is laid back, with a traveler spirit. Arty friends invited me in this hostel, the trendiest of Lisbon, of course … The Decadente offers at lunch, a cheap tasty light menu, with nice portions (neither too much nor too little). The first meal (1), a pea soup, the dish (2), a cod (Bacalao) with a little green salad and for the dessert, a mini portion of fresh fruit salad. Bubbling! Rua Sao Pedro de Alcantara 81. T. (+351) 213461381

A CHARCUTERIA (picture above and lay out below)

Invited by a friends couple that I love, it was really a pleasure to see them and share with them this moment in this chic restaurant. But I found the place (a reference to Lisbon) pretty pretentious and lacking of warmth and generosity! We were seated near a table of ten smokers who smoked cigarillo and cigars! Enough to lose the flavor of food! What about the Portugese food? Excellent Empada da galinha (1),a kind of small chicken pie. But I didn’t like the main course (2): Rissois of camarao, shrimp fritters (the sauce inside tasted like Bechamel), too heavy. Accompanied by a tomato rice (Arroz de tomate), too salty. Rua do Alecrim 47 A, T. (+351) 213 423 845
