Our family of three (including 20 year old son) are traveling in Spain and Portugal over the holidays. We will be in Seville for Christmas Day and in Lisbon NY Eve and Day. Any particular restaurant recommendations? For Christmas Day, we are thinking of a more formal restaurant--pretty dining room would be nice too. We love seafood but are fairly adventurous cuisine wise.
In Lisbon a more lively atmosphere would be great. Are the fado/dinner places worth it or better to eat at a restaurant and go to fado later? We all love to dance too but obviously Mom and Dad are likely older than the young crowd--but perhaps NY Eve caters to a more demographically eclectic crowd in Lisboa?

Thanks for all advice and suggestions.

Christmas day in Spain???? Most will be closed. it is a day after the night before, a day to spend with the family. I would suggest you ask your hotel if they have a restaurant which will be open.

As already noted, dining on Christmas day (lunch or dinner) will be difficult at best, but you can check out Restaurante Oriza (www.restauranteoriza.com). They have a Christmas menu listed, but it's probably for Christmas Eve.

The Robles Restaurants, Casa Robles, Robles Aljarafe and Robles Placentines, are also offering a Christmas menu, COMIDAS Y CENAS DE NAVIDAD (www.casa-robles.com/menu-de-navidad-sevilla).

In Lisbon on NYE you can try Lisboa à Noite, Lisbon By Night, in the Bairro Alto district (www.lisboanoite.com). Restaurant Largo, in Chiado, is open for lunch 7 days/week (www.largo.pt), but is closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas day and New Year's Eve.
