Taste cod and sardines
Going to Lisbon without trying two institutions of the national gastronomy that are cod and sardines would be sacrilege!
Roasted in a wood oven, they are one of the specialities appreciated by the locals. As for cod, in fritters, baked, in soup, on a plate with different and varied side dishes, it is available here in no less than hundreds of recipes.
Also try the seafood. There are dishes that give prominence to clams, octopus, squid or prawns. Often with garlic and olive oil, they are true delicacies, which are also accompanied by a local beer or a glass of green wine and sparkling wine that goes very well with seafood.
Pasteles de nata, Lisbon's speciality
Finally, a gastronomic trip to Lisbon would not be complete without ending up with one, and even several, Nata’s cake. The pies are delicious puff pastry cakes that are often eaten hot and sprinkled with cinnamon. They are a real eye-catcher in Lisbon, Portugal, and increasingly beyond the borders.
