A gentleman, looking like the boss or owner here asked us if we would like English menu, but I asked Portuguese. Then he brought this one.
I noticed that the menu didn’t include Today’s special so asked a lady to bring the other one everyone else had. Here it is! I feel a little bothered all good stuff and lower priced items are not available on the menu that we are initially provided. It happened at other places. I really want to stick with restaurants who don’t care about English but do business in only Portuguese 🙂
There is no lunch set here. We ordered a glass of wine anyway. Now we realize that price changes depending on a neighborhood, of course.
Mine: Peixe Espada Frito 7.50€
His: Salmão Grelhado 8.75€
Con Arroz de Feijão
We want to try our favorite dessert, Doce da Casa, but they didn’t have one.
Total: 18.45€ including glass wine 1.10€ x2
It’s still a good deal for good quality of meal, but Calçada 28 is the best for overall. No one can beat their 8€ all inclusive lunch with 500ml amazing wine, dessert and cafe.
We are happy about the new apartment but definitely miss the neighborhood of Airbnb.
Good thing we still need to go there to move rest of our stuff. Then we saw a familiar face here at the snack bar and asked him if they had Doce da Casa. They did!
How gorgeous it is!!! It looks and tastes amazing. He says this is the best Doce da Casa among three of them we tried. I agree. Total 5.20€ (I assume 2€ for the dessert).
We should definitely come back this neighborhood often in the future.
