There is one of our favorite take out places, which is officially named “Maxi-Serve” but we call it “Obento-ya san(お弁当屋さん)” because it reminds me of a store selling affordable bento boxes with main, sides, rice and so on, but a Portuguese version. It’s so popular and there is always a line during lunch time. Today I arrived around 12:30 p.m. then the line was even longer than usual.Prato principal including main & sides of your choice (4€), combo with soup & dessert (5.75€). By the day of week, there are 6-7 different main dishes available. Today he had Chicken Strogonof and I had Fish Flitter with rice, salad & fries. We usually share one potion of soup (today Portuguese chicken soup) and dessert because it’s a lot!
Lunch with Douro white @ 1:10 p.m., Fish flitter comes with pilaf, a nice surprise.
Dessert: Doce da casa @ 2:30 p.m., we save other one, pudding for tomorrow. We were stuffed!
