A Hidden Café with a Fantastic View of Lisbon

I had brunch with a friend at the cafe she found. It’s truly hidden and I would never know there was a cafe inside from the street.

Salmon salad (8€), Avocado toast (4.50€), Today’s soup (2€), a glass of white wine (3€) @ 11:45 a.m.

On the day, the weather was unstable, clear and raining then clear again with a rainbow!

We had dessert and coffee too (12:45 p.m.). Everything was so tasteful and service was very comfy. Love it!

Later on (3:50 p.m.) we had hot chocolate. It was the best! Rich not too sweet and good amount of cacao. Just perfect for me @ Chocolataria Equador

Tonkotsu Ramen @ Kapitan

Lunch @ Pirata

We went to one of our regular places, Pirata for lunch. We love this snack-bar serving everything we need such as delicious food & drinks, friendly communication and good price.

Hand writing daily specials (Prato do dia) are usually a good sign for local traditional freshly cooked Portuguese food.

My lunch: Bacalhau com natas, a popular salted cod dish

His: Espetadas de frango, skewered grilled chicken with bacon, sausage, pineapple

Dessert (sobremesa): Rice budding (arroz doce), Portuguese egg tart (pastel de nata)

Coffee to closed the meal (café cheio). In Portugal, they don’t usually have coffee with dessert but after. Our lunch was 20€ including 2€ tip, which is not mandatory here.

O Almoço Na Calçada 28

Nós fomos até a Calçada 28, nosso restaurante favorito para comer o menu do almoço. Eu comi uma Favas Con Entrecosto e ele comeu uma Dourada No Forno.

Pratos Do Dia. Queria tentar O Chocos Lulas também.

 

IMG_2852.jpg
Gosto muito de azeitonas aqui. 

 

IMG_2854
Sopa de legumes. A próxima, eu vou pedir meia dose de sopa porque não posso acabar a sopa e sinto mal.

 

IMG_2855.jpg
Favas com entrecosto. Foi bom mas muito favas. Não gosto de alheira. Não acabei tudo. 

 

IMG_2857.jpg
Dourada No Forno. Ele gostou muito.

 

IMG_2860
A minha sobremesa foi Pudim mais como Molotof. 

 

IMG_2861
Ele comeu Doce Da Casa. Muito doce!

 

IMG_2862.jpg
Sempre tomamos cafes cheios para terminar os almoços. Muito bom!

 

Não tiveram dinheiro outra vez. Nós pagámos 20€ por a conta de 16€ e tivemos 5€. Por isso, Devemos-lhes 1€. É a segunda vez. Já pergunto-me é uma estratégia para nós voltamos lá.

Nós vamos comer o almoço lá a próxima semana e pagar com o cartão de banco.

Dessert: Mousse de chocolate e Tarte de amendoa, this Almond tarte goes well with red wine since it’s not sweet but nutty and earthy.

 

Of course we had a cup of coffee as well. Today, we talked a bit more with the gentleman who is always nice to us. He doesn’t speak English at all but he informed us about the holiday schedule and drawing for 2€ possibly to win a huge bacalhau or gift package. Hoping we will not win a bachalhau (salted cod fish because I don’t know what to do with it).
