During our week-long trip to Lisbon, we definitely ate quite a lot of wonderful food. Portugal is known for their seafood and especially for sardines and anchovies, but there is certainly much more to the cuisine of the country. One of the famous treats that is a must have in Lisbon is the Pastel de Nata, which is a delicious custard tart. Another well-known dish is Arroz de Pato or Portuguese Duck Rice that we definitely made sure to eat during our trip.
Not everything that we ate was fancy, but we didn’t have a single meal that disappointed us. It would be difficult to choose our favorite dish because they were all unique and wonderful in their own way. We tried our best to mix up the food that we tried so that we weren’t always eating just seafood, although we really enjoyed having so many fresh options with the ocean so close to the city.
There a several cities that we’ve visited that we would consider to be food destinations and Lisbon is certainly among them. In addition to all of the food, we also had several interesting drinks, including Ginga, which is a sour cherry liqueur that is quite delicious. We also had several local beers as well as wonderful wines. The food and drinks were so good that we are definitely looking forward to returning someday to try even more local delicacies.
