Tasquinha do Lagarto

Tascas are the heart of Portuguese cuisine. They’re the lifeblood. They’re the no fuss, local joint, people watching, grandma’s cooking type of place. You can’t leave Portugal without going to at least one tasca for lunch, ok? And I’ve made it easier for you because these are the best: Btw, order a plate of the day. Don’t ask the waiter what’s best on the menu because it’s all good. Maybe the dish will be out of your comfort zone but isn’t that what traveling is all about? * A plate of the day (Prato do dia) usually comes with a main course, dessert, and coffee ** Bring cash with you just in case they don’t take card! Bom apetite!
