The Hutong, in The Shard skyscraper
If life smiles at you (economically speaking),
** The Hutong (****menu: from 150 euros / person without wine) **
London, The Shard, the almost tallest skyscraper in Europe built by Renzo Piano , has a restaurant chinese haute cuisine on the 31st floor (there are those who get the bird's eye view) . Is named The Hutongs, like Hong Kong (also high up) but East London overlooking 310 meters has that cosmopolitan point What do you want to project on yourself and on your figure? If you can afford it, in this incomparable setting we are sure that you will not miss the shot. But be patient. First, an innovative menu full of exoticism (which you will immediately become immersed in), with typical dishes from the north of the Asian giant surrounded by an intimate atmosphere like old Beijing. Order the fantastic **ear of the sea (the most expensive shellfish in the world, not to mention...)** with saikon salad and a french wine (since we are) so that the bilirubin rises.
*For underground romantics_,_ Cervejeria Trindade
Menu: from 30 euros / person with wine; ** Chapito à Mesa **
Arriving in Lisbon in summer, with that light and that sea breeze, will allow you to practically have the road to success. If the person who is the object of your desires does not fall here, in magical Lisbon, forget it, because he will never fall. In this city you will find innumerable advantages also for you: reasonable prices, charming accommodation for all budgets, a bohemian city where they exist, warm, perfect for walking and preparing the land and all this seasoned with a perfect cuisine... We love Lisbon! ! If that person likes little walks, walk and walk until you reach the vicinity of the São Jorge Castle to introduce you to ** Chapitô à Mesa ,** the restaurant of a cultural cooperative (with the most varied cultural program and very interesting people) with one of the least known views of the city in a magical and cultural atmosphere. With a glass of green wine and a few phrases in Portuguese in the ear... Ready!

***For Mediterraneans with the soul of a sailor, Reial Club Marítim Barcelona **
Menu: from €50/person without wine; Maritime Restaurant
Who does not pass through Barcelona at some point? Getting away from the madding crowd will be essential if you want to bring your business to a successful conclusion. And that's what it's all about, taking that person to the port (to the orchard later...) . In this case, we are going to use the magic of the sunset over the marina, the boats, the breeze on the evocative terrace of the Reial Club Marítim and a sparkling wine that is always a safe bet: a Great Reserve of Juve and Camps . We recommend several shots. When you are 'happy', the delicious rice dishes and fresh fish cooked under the Mediterranean breeze will appear... afterwards everything will be a piece of cake. The aphrodisiac lobster option... isn't crazy either.
