Prato Do Dia – MyEverydayEatsInLisbon

He suggested to go to one of our favorites for lunch today. It’s located on top of hill but we need to go pick up the rest of our stuff at Airbnb nearby, so it was actually a great idea.

We ordered pratos do dia and two glass of wine, red for him and white for me. The lady asked us if “natural (room temperature)” is ok. I asked for “fresco (chilled)” instead. We understood almost everything she said and it was so smooth to choose side order. I was tearing because we knew nothing at the first time here.

Glasses are full of wine as always. Portuguese wine never disappoints us!

Mine: Tiras de chocos con arroz e salada 5€

His: Alheira con ovo 5€ (bread sausage under egg)

If they don’t have Doce da Casa, we would skip a dessert but they did! Happy!!! It’s interesting to taste Doce da Casa at all different restaurants. This one tastes more cream instead condensed milk.

Total: 15.10€ + 1€ tip

The gentleman in the counter thought I was Chinese and was so surprised when I told him I didn’t speak Chinese. Japanese is so minor in the world and I share a hurtful feeling when a Portuguese person is being confused with Spanish…

Almoço de Dia @ Calçada 28

October 31, 2019November 1, 2019 myeverydayeats

I slept from 9pm to 7:30am straight. It’s too much sleep but feels great!

In the morning, I fixed breakfast and worked on my blog and research on activities in Lisbon.

Today, we tried to get meal time straight like breakfast @ 8am, lunch @ 12:30pm and dinner @ 6pm.

Breakfast @ 8:30pm: Croissant, greens, ham & broccoli omelette, grape, orange & mango juice and tea

Around 11:30am, he finished his work and we left for lunch around 12:30pm.

There is a neighborhood restaurant we pass by everyday and are so curious about it.

We are finally here for the amazing lunch deal, 8 euros!

The restaurant seemed full but there was another dining area inside, where three groups were dining and it got almost full within 30 minutes.

Bread and olives are not free usually but this daily lunch special (Almoço de Dia) includes everything on the table, such as main, soup or salad, drink, dessert and coffee.

All other customers were enjoying red wine, which was served in carafes and he ordered beer, but I am not still comfortable to drink alcohol so stick to water (sem gas).

He ordered Dourada Grelhada (8 euro) from regular menu

I had a lunch special, Grelhada Mista Espetadas (Mix Kebabs). It comes with salad and fries.

I chose Mousse de Chocolate for Sobremesa (dessert). We were asked, “Dois?” and instantly answered, “Sim dois.” Then he got the same too.

Cafe Cheio at the end. He got a cup too. I wish coffee was served with dessert but a dish comes one by one in Europe, I guess so I try to get used to it.

It was very busy during lunch time. We noticed that everyone paid at the register. So we did. We wondered how much for the extra he ordered. It was just 2 euros for beer, dessert or coffee! I couldn’t understand what dessert options would be and just picked one I understood. But I could point one in the showcase next time.

I really wanna come back here for lunch again soon. Next time, I would have wine along with my lunch in a best condition!

We took a walk to a different direction we’ve never taken to explore the neighborhood. It’s residential area and I like that there are a little market or cafe on every block. Feels so local.

Found a supermarket and got grocery for dinner.

Can you guess how much it costs for these. Only 3.75 euros!!! I don’t get it since chicken is marked 3.08 euros…This has happened when we purchased a monitor. It was marked 249 but charged only 175…I still wonder it’s a mistake or discount?

My dinner @ 7pm: chicken broth & cereal, I wanted to kill the milk, which should be finished within 4 days once opened.
