It's hard to imagine the Lisbon food scene without Da Noi; running since 2020 this spot is fun, chic, and serves the tastiest wines, cocktails, small plates, and dishes. Start with a cocktail or two to accompany some small plates, before indulging in dinner; don't miss their iconic white bean cacio e pepe. Our mouths are watering just thinking about it. 

When it comes to wine bars, we like to think we know a thing or two about the grooviest spots. Demo has to be one of them. You also know the drill; share a few small plates (the more the merrier!) and embark on a natural wine journey of deliciousness. 

If we had to choose one place for you to go while in Mexico City, it would be Panadería Rosetta. This incredible bakery truly will give you a taste of heaven. Enjoy their pastries and coffee on the terrace and you will realize why we love it so much. 

Swing by Lardo pretty much any hour of the day and we assure you the place will have a buzz. Head over for a sandwich for lunch, but if you're in the area for aperitivo hour then we highly suggest you go for a glass of wine and an freshly fired pizza. 

We adore this little bakery in the heart of Oaxaca city for it's freshly baked bread, it's delicious pastries, and it's fantastically strong coffee. Grab something to go, or take a book and enjoy a leisurely brekky in the courtyard. 

From a cooperative of potters all residing and born in the southeast of Mexico, the clay pots at 1050º are remarkable. Designed to represent the land, the earth, and the natural beauty of Oaxaca, pop by to pick up some plates, bowls, and mugs to elevate any table setting. 

Planeta is a five century old Italian winery. The company has five vineyards from West to East, all across Italy. They are incredibly welcoming and are always seducing those curious travelers to pack their bags and go. You are invited to spend the day soaking in the sun and rosé and learn everything wine from the ultimate masters themselves. They are an iconic and classic staple, so, if you are around, you know where to go for a wine tasting afternoon. 

Café Nin is a recurrent go-to for locals and almost-local visitors. Indulge in their artisanal pastries and beloved coffee in an outdoor brunch or visit for a casual, cosy, but phenomenal dinner in the Juarez neighbourhood. 

Olivia Foundation is a private art gallery in Roma Norte and has become one of the busiest contemporary art spaces in its neighbourhood. Although many bicker that they are constantly closing and opening their doors, that means exhibitions from artists worldwide (especially women) are continually rotated. When planning your next trip to CDMX, check out which exhibit they have going on, if you are a modern art enthusiast, it will certainly not disappoint. 

Masa Galería seamlessly blends the line that separates art and design. This artistic hub is home to pieces, from chairs and lamps to paintings and sculptures, by artists who seek to explore and experiment with material, techniques, functionality and space. If you are into eclectic and contemporary furniture and thought-evoking installations, this is one of those exhibitions you surely don't want to miss.
