You may not think of naming a new kid on the block one of the "best," but Sereia is a rare gem. Lauded Portuguese chef Henrique Sá Pessoa of two Michelin-starred Alma in Lisbon opened Sereia in May with esteemed chef de cuisine Miguel Massens at the helm. In its beautiful and bright dining room, guests are greeted by a serene ambiance with subtle, subliminal nods to the ocean. Sereia does translate as siren, after all, and the dining room does a great job of showcasing that. As beautiful as it may be, however, it's the food you'll be writing home about. Sá Pessoa's bacalhau à brás, a salted cod concoction with shoestring potatoes and egg, is a thing of beauty. And the arroz de pato, a duck rice with smoked bacon chorizo, will have you checking fares to Lisbon.
