Lagoas Park Oeiras Hotel + Centro colombo

9/8/2024

When the guys had a one day school in Lisbon, us wives decided to join them on the trip up and hang out at the Colombo Mall in Lisbon. 

We stayed at a hotel called Lagoas Park in Oeiras, Porto Salvo.

Lagoas Park Oeiras Review

I thought Lagoas Park Hotel was really nice. It's a well known corporate hotel on the outskirts of Lisbon and a fairly quick uber ride to wherever you'd want to go. While our mornings were entirely too rushed to get proper pictures, we felt this hotel had a solid breakfast!

​Breakfast was included in our booking rate, which was around 200 USD inclusive. 

The public restroom in the lobby is beautiful with wood and marble finishings.

In the lobby you can also find the hotel bar as seen below.

Just behind the bar is the seating area for the restaurant.

Hotel Restaurant Review


We did dine in the restaurant with our friends one evening. I ordered a nice fish dish which came with a side of mixed vegetables and some potatoes. Fish in Portugal is always delicious and fresh since the country is blessed to have access to so much coastline! The food was good and as one would expect, this is a light meal with a corporate hotel price tag. ;)

​When you get off the elevators to head to your room you will see these nice sitting areas  overlooking the lobby. The chairs are comfortable, with side tables, and there is nice lighting from the floor to ceiling glass entry of the hotel.

Room Tour


​Here is a quick photo tour of our room at Lagoas Park Hotel. 

Picture

The bathroom is spacious and they do provide the standard amenities. You'll notice on the second photo that a bidet is available at this hotel. In case you want to wash and dry your feet.

...lol. Just kidding. :p


The room is a bit on the dark side with the color scheme and lighting style, which isn't necessarily my favorite aesthetic.
​

Queen Room Lagoas Park Hotel

Our room had a large flatscreen TV and closets for hanging clothes as well as a full length mirror right across from the bathroom door. Some of our friends were joking that it was the last place they wanted a mirror after they got out of the shower. haha. 

Jokes aside, I always appreciate a full length mirror in a hotel room.

​100 Gramas


We ordered Uber Eats the night we arrived as we were too tired to go out anywhere. There was a Buy one get one free promo for a restaurant called 100 Gramas. We ordered Prego Maminha Maturada  which is a sandwich of thin steaks and the bread is slathered with garlic butter. We got one side of batata frites (French fries) and one side of feijão (beans). 


The total for 2 sandwiches, an order of fries, an order of beans, and a coca-cola was 18.74€ including service fee, delivery fee, bag fee etc. While the pictures are not impressive due to the dim room and takeout boxes, the food was good! It was good for the price we paid. But if we had paid full price of 41.74€ it may have been a different story. lol!

centro colombo

True to stereotype, the ladies spent the day wandering around the mall. I honestly don't care for mall days that much. There's nothing I really need to buy and the lights are too bright for anyone migraine-prone, but the company was top notch. 

I took a few of the most random pictures that day starting with these women's button down linen shirts.

Nespresso Store


Our Portuguese friend educated us about visiting the Nespresso store for a free coffee. You actually take a ticket when you go in and when an associate is available they can give you a sample of any kind of Nespresso pod you would like to try. Afterwards you can buy a package of your preferred pod, if you'd like, of course!

Serra da Estrela

There were many choices in the food court but I landed on Serra da Estrela and ordered a plate of Arroz do Pato (duck rice)  and the fresh pineapple and mint juice. 

RETURN TO TOP ↑

I was so fascinated by this art display of candy machines that I felt compelled to snap this crooked picture to remember it. 

Picture
Art Display at Colombo Mall

For my final memory of Colombo Mall in lisbon, I leave you with this bathroom sign which I found amusing. It's asking if you knew that with the toilet lid open you can be projecting "particles".  They implore toilet guests to pleaseeee close the lid before flushing. 

It makes you wonder what atrocities have been seen in there? On second thought.. scratch that thought.

The Kitchen

We had a very long bus ride from Lisbon. We were starving and found another buy one get one free deal on Uber for a place called The Kitchen in Quarteira. 

These 2 Gulosa pizzas cost 13.20€ in total after discounts. Not too shabby. 

I hope you have enjoyed this very random combo hotel review post / mall day / uber eats review post.

Lemoona House Mediterranean Restaurant - Door Dash Delivery Review

10/8/2023

0 Comments

 
original post 11/14/21
Last week we decided to try a new-to-us restaurant - Lemoona House. Currently opened 11am-9pm everyday except Tuesday, you can order take out or dine to enjoy "homestyle mediterranean" at Lemoona House. You can also have delivery via door dash ($30 off) or Uber Eats ($15 0ff). Hopefully grubhub will be an option sometime too. ​Thanks to our favorite credit card, we have free dash pass membership and an annual credit on door dash orders, yay! So we went the Door Dash route. Here's what we tried: 

Greek Pizza - $9.75

Feta and mozzarella cheese, sumac marinated onions, gyro or chicken (we chose gyro), fresh tomato and tzaziki on the side. 
Picture
Picture
The Greek Pizza was basically room temp by the time we got it (delivery woes), but was a promising thin crusted pizza. 

Dolma - $3.99

Tender grapevine leaves stuffed with rice, onions, herbs, and Turkish spices. Rolled tightly and gently cooked with olive oil and lemon juice. (5 per order)
Picture
The dolmas were a good value and tasted good, but I actually prefer the herbs in these ones from a recent misfits or imperfect box, can't remember which at the moment. 

Profitorole - $1.99

Cream puffs drenched in a dark chocolate sauce and sprinkled with sweet coconut flakes
Picture
These were exactly what I expected them to be and a really affordable price for a sharable, light dessert!

Baklawa - $1.50

Baklawa (aka baklava). Unfortunately these did not show up in our order, which was a bummer. And FYI, you only have 24 hours to report any issue with a door dash order, so don't procrastinate! :) 

Lemoona Mix Platter - $15.99

Gyro meat, kibbeh, kofta kebab, chicken shawarma with rice, hummus, taziki sauce and Mediterranean salad, served with pita. 
Picture
We opted for the Lemoona Mix Platter so we could try a variety from the restaurant at one time. The Gyro meat is excellent in flavor and may just be the way to go! I don't think there was any kibbeh on the platter, the chicken was a bit on the dry side and the mediterranean salad was very simple with a light dressing that was good, but nothing to write home about. Pita and taziki were good and the hummus was excellent. 

Door Dash Discount - $30 Credit

Repeat Eat?

I'd repeat eat at Lemoona House. This delivery order was definitely not perfect, but I feel pretty confident that an in-person experience would be significantly better. As far as their to-go orders are concerned, I'd love to see a switch away from styrofoam containers...
