Must-Try Foods in Portugal
When traveling in Portugal, there's a reason why you'll naturally say, "This was such a great meal!"✨
Surprisingly, what lingers in your memory longer than the sightseeing is often the food.
🥘 Seafood Rice (Arroz de Marisco)
This was the most impressive dish among Portuguese cuisine. The pot of seafood rice is so packed with seafood that there's barely any rice🦐🦑.
The broth is rich like risotto, and the umami from shrimp, clams, and octopus is simply incredible. If you're in Lisbon, you must try it at least once. You'll immediately understand why everyone recommends it.
🥩 Iberico Steak
The Iberico pork in Portugal is completely different from the meat you're used to.
Juicy, tender, and free of any unpleasant smell, it tastes amazing even with just a pinch of salt. For meat lovers, this will likely be the most satisfying meal of your trip.
🥧 Egg Tart (Nata)
In Portugal, having at least one nata a day is a given🫶. With a crispy exterior and a creamy interior, it's the perfect match with coffee☕️.
Especially in Lisbon, the nata is on a whole different level compared to the egg tarts you might have tried elsewhere. It's perfect for takeout and enjoying on the go.
🍷 Port Wine & Local Wines
End your meal with wine✨. In Porto, try the sweet Port wine, and in Lisbon, go for the light and easy-to-drink local wines.
The prices are so reasonable that you'll wonder, "Is this really Europe?"
