F for Fabulous

Location is everything and it doesnt get better than Carlos Ferreiras
latest upstart F Bar.

Views of the Place des Festivals fountain mean you can take in a show on
the Quartier while savouring Portuguese-accented plates like Algarvia
salad with calamari ($13) or savoury cocottes served in stainless steel
pots. We supped on cod with fennel and laurel potato confit ($18) and
Algarve salt flower shortbread with frozen goat yogurt ($10).

No need to commit to a mealwe saw pretty people propped at the bar
sipping Douro whites and munching on Chouriços ($8). Before leaving,
Carlos himself stopped by for a two-cheek kiss and news that the terrace
will stay open year-round for drinks and Petiscos.

We love an endless summer.
