★★★★★a week agoSuch a beautiful place! It has everything, shops, bookstore, restaurant, flowers, everything. When the weather is nice outside is also perfect to have a cocktail or an ice cream. Good spot to stop for a bit, have some food and take a look at the shops. Super recommended

★★★★★3 weeks agoLX Factory is with a very cool vibe featuring restaurants, bars and boutiques. It was less crowded when we went got dinner on a weekday. Would highly recommend to visit this place in Lisbon at least once during your travel. The food we had at Lebanese restaurant Barouk was good if not great.
