First Lunch @ Pirata after Lockdown

myeverydayeats
Today we went for lunch at Pirata, one of our favorites. On the way, a shop, which had been closed for the lockdown, was finally open and its dog there too.

Today’s menu. Start with ‘Vinho à pressão’ @ 12:15 p.m.

Mine: carne de porco à alentejana (6.50€)

His: picanha do Uruguay grelhada (7.50€), We learn something new. “Bem ou mal passada? (Well done or rare?)” Probably “Médio a médio mal” is good for us.

Pudim & cafe

Meeting a New Friend @ Fauna & Flora

myeverydayeats
Meeting a new friend, who was introduced by a good friend of ours here. Today I feel so much joy of dining out and getting to know new people. This is something I missed during the lockdown.

Lunch: Thaio, chicken curry 11€ (his), Thunnus, seared tuna & quinoa 12€ (mine)

I really liked mine. This is something that reminds me of California. Red lemonade no sugar added is good as well. I think lemonade in Portugal is just lemon juice and water basically.
Dessert @ 3:20 p.m.

Breakfast @ 8:25 a.m.

Grocery Shopping @ Traditional Market (Mercado)

myeverydayeats
As I am more comfortable to communicate in Portuguese, I prefer to shop at traditional markets. Only a downside is that some venders do not accept debit card or just because a price is too small. I didn’t take pictures but I went to a market and got pork, sausages, eggs, some veggie, strawberries, bread…everything is so good 🙂

Lanche: bacalhau omelette, bread, greens, wine @ 11:30 a.m.

Lunch: Grilled pork, cress, rice, wine @ 1:00 p.m.

Dessert: Lime tarte (oh no…)

In the afternoon, we decided to visit a museum because all museums and monuments (operated by Municipal Lisbon) offer free admission in April. On the way there, I saw my favorite t-shirt store was reopen after the lockdown and couldn’t resist from going in and buying…

We made it there, Museu de Santo Antonio in time. A tiny space with a full of art themed covid. Interesting 🙂

Lisbon Cathedral, Sé de Lisboa used to be a full of tourists but still was quiet with few people and only one tuktuk around there…

I love dogs in Lisbon. They are so calm, friendly and independent.

Breakfast: Pão de Deus, orange, coffee @ 7:00 a.m., Pão de Deus from A Padaria Portuguesa is very nice. Love it.
