Did you come across this pastry shop?

My lodging is on the same road, just a few minutes walking. I had coffee and pastries there several times. They have many Portuguese classics there and the interior is nice.

There’s a fantastic delicatessen at the corner of a busy intersection just before the pastry shop. Love Porto. Especially port tastings at various wineries and great food options. I miss Frango Assado specialists like in Porto and Lisbon. They all have a big glowing pit full of rotating chickens over charcoals by the entrance to tempt you.

I have not seen that yet, nor been to the confetitaria, but I’ll be looking.
Next stop Lisbon!

Awesome! Makes me feel lazy. I can’t even pull it together to go the beach. :relaxed:

The other night we got charged for some bread x 5, apparently because there were five of us at the table, although only two of us touched it.

I don’t remember the restaurant name so I looked up restaurant listing near my lodging and found this:

It’s the one, and IIRC there are 2 such places in the neighbourhood. It’s always full so best avoid peak meal times. Besides roast chickens they also have other Portuguese classics. This was the reason I went there several times.

In Lisbon I remember eating roast chicken at this place in the neighbourhood of my lodging. There are more but I no longer remember their names. Look up frango assado.

First stop in Lisbon! Portuguese Chardonnay and “meat croquettes” at the Pestana Pousada Lisbon.

We have another tour soon, and I’m reading petiscos might be food and not a place!

Then we visted Evora, and hung out in Lisbon!

Pictures, maybe later.

Portugal was amazing! The 4+13 hour trip back in time, not so much. Better than 4+13 hours ahead!

Hoping to get my sleep wake cycle together in time for my trip to Chicago.

Grilled chicken, with piri piri sauce,



and in season, fresh, grilled sardines.

Sometimes! I try to be quick, but sometimes the pictures have missing bites. More often I miss them completely!
