When I travel I like to explore. Not only unknown places but the culture and food as well. I like to try local specialities and traditional dishes. I’ve heard a lots of praise about Portuguese food.
While being in Lisbon, I tasted and tries the most typical traditional dishes. Portugal is famous for their seafood dishes and as I live seafood that was my main focus on tasting.
On my second day, while browsing the streets and trying to find a decent place to eat, a restaurant called Santiago caught my attention. I asked for a typical Portuguese feast. As a started I had a nice selection of local cheeses and as a drink I have been recommended a nice crisp white wine.
For a main I had a Shellfish Rice. I like the way it was served.
It doesn’t look that appetizing on a plate but believe me, it was delicious.
This is the desert I went for. I can’t remember the name of it. I can remember that it tasted like a heaven : )
Of course I couldn’t miss the most famous pasty shop selling Pasteis de Nata.
Me munching on Pasteis.
Before I went to Lisbon, one friend of mine recommended to me one restaurant to go to. He told me that I must go in there to try some of their seafood. The restaurant is called Pinoquio http://pinoquio.pai.pt/. This place has a very long history and a very good reputation. As recommended I tried their clams with garlic and coriander. They very really delicious.
