Manteigaria

Had a friend try egg tarts (aka Pasteis de Nata) in Portugal for the first time at this place. Overall it tastes great, and paired it with a port wine.

As a side note, although it’s not Pasteis de Belem (the original egg tart in Lisbon), it was very comparable.

Also an FYI this is a chain, so would have to look up the location of the pictures for the exact one.

TimeOut Market Porto

Visited TimeOut in Porto.

Obviously got an Aperol spritz from the Aperol Spritz stand. (Should’ve worn my Aperol visor).

Got also a pizza and sushi salmon hand roll. Both were good.

Overall, this TimeOut did not disappoint.

Brasao

After grabbing drinks at the bar at our hotel, went here for a quick bite on our first night in Porto.

Got a prawn croquette and a beef mushroom rissole. Definitely would order the former again, but not the latter. Both these are Portuguese.

Our main and final dish is the francesinha, also a Portuguese dish. It was like an English sausage muffin with tons of gravy, but it was more of a beef. It was a good experience but would not seek to get it (like McDonalds sausage McMuffin better). (Also as an fyi it’s traditional to get it with fries)

Mixed drinks were limited (ie no whisky sour or Aperol spritz), but Glenlivet was available, so had that.

Would check this out again to try Portuguese food of others wanted to.

TimeOut Market Lisboa

Went to this place for a late lunch in the Baixa neighborhood. They have a lot of local Portuguese food. Ended up eating sushi at Confraria do Sushi (thought process is that Lisbon is known for seafood, so why not try it!)

Also, this market has a dedicated Aperol Spritz stand! Definitely took advantage of that.
