My Birthday Lunch @ Calçada 28

November 15, 2019November 16, 2019 myeverydayeats

I had been thinking where to go for my birthday lunch last couple weeks since he asked me. There are so many places I want to try in Lisbon, especially city center, but it seems so overpriced since we found the great deals of lunch special in our neighborhood (more local/residential area). So I concluded that we should go to one of our favorites around here because we are moving to a new apartment next week and it would be less to come around here.

We checked the daily special at the closest restaurant on the middle of hill. If anything had looked good, we would have gone to the other one, but I saw a dish I wanted.

We started with Red wine with bread and olives as usual. So many gentlemen were enjoying their lunch and wine too.

My duck rice tastes amazing! It reminds me of grandma’s takikomi-gohan, a Japanese mixed rice.

We thought too much food to finish, but we took our time and did! It was so delicious 🙂

My dessert: Mousse de Manga, his: Doce da Casa

I ordered ‘cafe normal (regular espresso)’. It was stronger but still manageable and good.

Another great lunch experience for 8 euros per person. We still can’t believe how wonderful this deal is!!!

We walked to Saldanha area to pick up an insurance card at the agency.

There was a nice pastry shop in the market.

Also a special shop for spices, dry fruits and teas. I would come back here to get some teas.

After a quick stop by the agency, we went to a mall to look for a pair of shoes for him in Saldanha.

We decided to walk 10 minutes to another mall. On the way, there was a menu board for great deal of snacking and drinks.

Our realtor introduced us to El Corte Ingles, a department store and a museum nearby. On Sunday after 2pm, the museum admission is free, so we went to explore around there.
