Enjoyed your comments, just come back from 10 days in Lisbon. A tip - to get round the seven hills, use Bolt rides. I found it disappointing that you used Airbnb instead of a hotel or hostel which provide work for the locals. Also, you can easily visit Cascais and Evora (site of the Casino - think James Bond) easily on the train which provides a change from the city. Verde Minho was our pick of the traditional restaurants.
Hi I am a new subscriber. I'm so glad your video appeared on my feed! Love your friendly and humble nature! I had just returned from 2 weeks in Portugal and I wish I had seen your video before I went. I love how those prawns look in that first family restaurant you featured! I don't agree you shd take taxis everywhere. I feel it is still very walkable for a person of below average fitness. In any case hope to visit some of your recommended places in my next visit!
@ClassicPolly hello again from Singapore 🇸🇬 my visit centered around Porto, Lisbon and a couple of nights in Evora. Loved every bit of it but wished I had more luggage space to bring back more canned food!
I am actually leaving to go to Lisbon on Friday and the thing that has scared me the most thus far was the food but the food in this video looks incredible!
Oh fab, it's a super cool city and I'm sure you are going to have a lot of fun there. Portuguese food is great, especially their seafood. I'm also a big fan of piri piri chicken; you can find it pretty much anywhere in the city - it's spicy, juicy and full of flavour. Dang, I'm a bit jealous of you if im honest!
Portuguese food is absolutely amazing. Quality and prices as well. Of course sometimes we are unfortunately when we choose the place to eat but in general go for it. The question is you must learn. It can not go wrong if you go where Portuguese people go. If is good for them is good for you.🥰😋😋 Personal ; I love everything .
Hey Tracy, thanks so much for your kind words. I’m working on a bigger city guide video about Lisbon which will come together with a Lisbon city guide. Fingers crossed it will be out during April.
Cheers mate, ah April in Lisbon sounds awesome! I'm putting a travel guide to Lisbon video together (should be out this month) if you do have any Qs on like where to stay or what to see, let me know :)
Hi, nice video. I'm glad you enjoyed most of your food experiences in Lisbon. I would just like to emphasise that the Ribeira market is not about street food. The Time Out concept was to invite some of the top Lisbon chefs, restaurants, delicatessen or pastry shops, to cater for younger clients (spiritually) in a laid-back atmosphere. You can find here the two Michelin starred (Alma restaurant) and television chef, Henrique Sá Pessoa or Marlene Vieira, the first Portuguese woman chef of a 5 star restaurant (of the luxury Sofitel Lisbon hotel). They all try to keep their best standards, that's why they are a bit more expensive.
Oh that’s so wonderful to hear, that was exactly when we visited and we loved it. I’m literally writing the script for the Lisbon guide video (hopefully it will be out by March) feel free to let me know if there is anything in particular you need help with (might cover that in the video) 😉
Jorge D'amália tasca is in the Belem neighbourhood, about a 20 min walk from the Jeronimos monastery. So far the giant fried prawns where the highlight.
You pronunced "ginja" as "ginia" but the "j" has the same sound as the "g", it should sound like the English "ginger". 😉 Pastéis de Belém and Pastéis de Nata are two different things, you can get Pastéis de Nata everywhere (the recipe is "open source" and everyone can put their own spin on it) but you can only get Pastéis de Belém at that pastry shop in Belém (they're trademarked and the recipe is a well kept secret).
Couldn’t agree more João, I absolutely love Portuguese food. We might actually be retuning back to Porto this year, any good food places/dishes we should be trying?
Thank God I have already eaten otherwise I would be SO hungry!!!! Another very good restaurant that reminded me of Greek taverns was "Lovo Lebnon", very close to the statue of Marques de Pombal. Unfortunately google says that it's now permanently closed 😔
Traditional pica-pau (woodpecker, and you just pick it with a fork or a ''pick'', like a woodpecker) are made of meat chips, remains of the cut for preparion of steaks, etc. and bitoque is made of beef/cow, pork and chicken are cheaper...egg on top of meat,french fries and rice, a pc of salad and slice of tomato. You should certify that it is not pork, they should and sometimes they specify that is pork.
Thanks for this recommendation Hermano, just checked it out- it looks really good and located very conveniently to the tourist sites. Sounds awesome, thanks for that!

@@ClassicPolly i don't wanna seem like those guy's, but here usually it's seafood, like prawn and clams, crab and stuff like that.... Better come here to watch it!!!
Lisbon Food Guide is 90% complete and will be out next week! Please leave a comment if you would like me to notify you when the guide will be live!

Very nice. I plan to visit Lisbon in 2023. Keep up the good work.
Cheers mate and you're going to have so much fun in Lisbon!

Thanks so much Ayana, currently working on it! Fingers crossed it's gonna come out this month!
Everything looks so delicious. Thank you for sharing!
Cheers mate, thanks so much for watching! I'm still dreaming about them grilled prawns!

@@upsized thanks for your lovely message. Where about did you travel in Portugal? Just Lisbon or somewhere else?
@ClassicPolly hello again from Singapore 🇸🇬 my visit centered around Porto, Lisbon and a couple of nights in Evora. Loved every bit of it but wished I had more luggage space to bring back more canned food!
Thanks Polly for a great video. Your enthusiasm for the food was great! Can't wait to visit.
This means a lot, thank you :) Have fun in Lisbon!
you missed ramiro :( nice guide! also, bairro alto is full of small restaurants, definitely worth trying, even if somewhat touristy...

Good quality videos, good vibe and shoots 😉
I'm glad you enjoyed it Paulius! Would return to that prawn place in a heartbeat :)
Very useful info! 👌Obrigado! We're visiting portugal this summer. I can't wait
Another amazing video 👍👍👍
Amazing video!
We are heading to Lisbon in May. Really enjoyed your blog. Would love to know when your guide is available. Thanks ♡

it is a 5 star HOTEL, there is no such thing as a 5 star restaurant
@@stafscheers9692 You are right, thank you for correcting. It was a highly praised restaurant of a 5 star hotel.
Very helpful, fun and informative...we leave for Lisbon in May and can't wait!

Wellcome and enjoy !!!
Awesome !!
Loved the episode❤
Where is Georges de Emilia located? Is that the name of the restaurant? Would love to try it there.
Awesome video btw.

Hi. Nice yummy video. Good choices! Just one note: Both bitoque and picapau original dishes are made with beef and not pork.
Ayeeee Karamba, you are so right Eduardo. These were also made with beef, not sure why I said pork 😅 What’s your fave dish?
You pronunced "ginja" as "ginia" but the "j" has the same sound as the "g", it should sound like the English "ginger". 😉
Pastéis de Belém and Pastéis de Nata are two different things, you can get Pastéis de Nata everywhere (the recipe is "open source" and everyone can put their own spin on it) but you can only get Pastéis de Belém at that pastry shop in Belém (they're trademarked and the recipe is a well kept secret).
Thanks for sharing this info. I always struggled with the pronunciation of ginja so “ginger” is a great way to remember how to do it properly👍🏻
Well! RIBADOURO IS A place to go 😊
You should try RAMIRO instaed, it´s far better!!!!, but make a reserve, otherwise you´ll have a loooong way to get a seat!
Thank you))
Our cuisine is amazing, fresh and simply, next time go to Porto the most cuisine experience
Couldn’t agree more João, I absolutely love Portuguese food. We might actually be retuning back to Porto this year, any good food places/dishes we should be trying?
please whats the name of that bakery??😍
There are two we’ve visited: Pastéis de Belém in Belem and Manteigaria that has various locations around Lisbon.
Are you going to post the guide?
Thank God I have already eaten otherwise I would be SO hungry!!!! Another very good restaurant that reminded me of Greek taverns was "Lovo Lebnon", very close to the statue of Marques de Pombal. Unfortunately google says that it's now permanently closed 😔
Yeah, I had to do "emergency stop breaks" during my edit to get some snacks from the shop. These grilled garlic prawns will haunt me forever!

You must try a tasca called”Zé Dos Cornos”(José of horns)

U know it's a really Portuguese restaurant if the football is on the tv
True that, whether you serve bifana sandwiches or grilled lobsters - football must be on!
@@ClassicPolly it's frequent when it's a big match to friends get together for dinner and watch the game on the restaurant.
@@partista77 oh that's so cool! in the UK football food is considered to be beer and a pack of crisps!
@@ClassicPolly i don't wanna seem like those guy's, but here usually it's seafood, like prawn and clams, crab and stuff like that.... Better come here to watch it!!!
E burguers são tradicionais portugueses ? Americanice.
Pica-pau is for the afternoon with a cold beer.
Tascas is were you find the best food in Lisbon, but they must be ruled and cooked by TUGAS ok? 👌👍😁
You're showing portuguese food with brasilian songs 🤯😤 be more thoughtful about that please 😤🙏
