This restaurant located in the heart of the tourist strip of Albuferia provided an alternative to traditional portugese food and offered some of its neighbouring spanish cuisine. We tried the paella and were not disappointed. The serve was enormous, and the food was very good.
The food is locally produced and always fresh. The menu features a variety of continental and Portuguese style dishes at moderate prices. Even the most finicky diner should find something rewarding on the menu. The restaurant is sylishly furnished and the food is well presented, but the atmoshere is pleasant and not intimidating. A very nice place to enjoy an evening dining with people you like and want to converse with. This is definitely not a boozy, pub-like place, and "pub grub" is not part of the menu. The menu changes often, but I would recommend trying the fish dishes - always fresh and thoughtfully seasoned and created, and not incinerated to a fare-the-well as happens in too many local restaurants.
This restaurant has changed it's name to Calcutta. It's three blocks over from the address listed below and there is a sign indicating the new address.............well worth the extra 3 block walk. This place serves authentic and DELICIOUS indian cuisine. Great for people like me who are vegetarian, however they also serve meat dishes. I've had my fair share indian cuisine in my days, and I have to say that this was THE BEST indian dish I've ever had. If you like indian, this place will not disappoint! try anything from the vegetarian list. I had a dish with potatos, tomatoes garlic and spices over herbed basmati rice...with sweet lasi to drink....devine!
Located in a former chapel of the next-door monastary, it retains the high vaulted ceiling and stained glass windows. Small marble-topped tables invite one to linger long over a beer or a coffee along with the locals.
The sea food is the most famous food in Lisbon, and in Portugal in general, there are lots of fishing in the Ocean side of the Atlantic!and a very famous fish: *Bacalhau* is the right thing for you to taste once you are in Portugal,I knew that from my last trip to Venice when Sara my friend *VT member sarita76* told me about this!so please order it in Lisbon, you won't be sorry it is very yummy ;-D
By this late stage of our trip, we were less than 2 hours from Lisbon, in the very nice seaside town of Peniche, from where we had taken our amazing boat trip out to the 'Ilha da Berlenga' nature preserve. The tour guide who sold us our tickets mentioned that the Popular was a great place for an evening meal, so we decided to give it a try once we returned from our marine excursion. We lingered as we walked down to the restaurant so it would have a chance to get a little darker and we would not be the first ones there - the Portugese tend to eat later than is our usual habit! However, the restaurant had a nice little crowd when we arrived. After perusing their extensive menu, and remembering what an Irish couple had recommended to us on the boat trip, we decided to try their Fish Stew at E18 (US$22) for two. The dish was quite simple when it came, a bread bun and a soup dish each along...
This day had involved a long drive north from the Algarve, followed by a bit of an experience driving around the many crowded streets of Evora to find our accommodations! By the time we finally made it to the centre of beautiful Evora, we were thankful that it was another sunny and hot day for doing some short walks. However, at the same time, once we had passed through the portals of the ancient walls, we were ready to just sit down for a while to chill-out and enjoy where we were at that moment in time! Immediately adjacent to the Roman era ruins of Diana's Temple, we were fortunate to stumble upon the Jardim do Paco. It was so pleasant to sit under the shade of their huge courtyard trees while we sipped on cold Imperial beers (E1) and vinho verdes (E4). Following this quick refreshment, we ventured forth for a proper walking tour of the city. However, the afternoon did not seem to be...
At the end of our second day touring the southwest portion of the Algarve, we were ready for a solid meal when we arrived back at our little village of Aljezur. We cruised around a bit and finally settled on this cute little restaurant located on the main road through the middle of the village. It had actually been recommended to us by one of the locals who was running the village internet cafe! I guess that we should not have been surprised when he strolled in while we were part-way through our meal. The Pont'a Pe has a relaxed atmosphere with muted lighting and very nice background music as the locals chat away. We were well looked after by the owner as he explained our possible choices from the menu. It was a great spot to wind down our day as we recounted the day's adventures on the beaches and mountains of the Algarve!Sue decided to try a very flavourful local Cod and rice dish...
On our very first evening in Lisbon, we were keen to sample a proper restaurant in the downtown tourist area of the Baixa district. A good spot for this is along Rua das Portas de Santo Antao, a relaxed steeet for pedestrians just to the east of the Praca dos Restauradores. We ended up strolling along here at about 7 PM as the evening light was beginning to fade, and it did not take much encouragement from the restaurant staff to convince us to sit down! We were just about their only customers at the time. There was a nice warm breeze blowing, so they had their paper table coverings held down by various dishes. It was great fun sitting there sipping our wine and watching the pedestrians enjoying the evening airs as the place slowly filled up. Sue decided that she would try some seafood in the form of their trout with bacon dish. However, they were all out of that, so she had to settle...
We enjoyed strolling around the Baixa area so much that we twice ended up at a cafe on one of the small streets just off the main Rua da Prata. The streets here are mostly traffic free, so the cafes have their tables and chairs set up on the 'cobblestone' streets themselves. Our first experience here was a sit-down after our tiring day of mountain climbing in Sintra, followed by the ascent to St. George's Castle in Lisbon. We returned the next day after we had finished another long walk in the Belem district of Lisbon. It was just great to sit out in the sunshine, or under the umbrellas, watching the people on the street as they passed by. There was even a small three-man band playing on a nearby street corner! We just had something light here, such as 'tosta mista' (toasted ham, cheese and tomato sandwiches) washed down by a couple of cold beers or chilled white wine. A typical price...
