O prato do dia. Or, o prato do peregrino. Just go with the flow!

I got to Viana do Castelo and went to the restaurant on the left just over the bridge!
I asked if the lady would serve me a traditional Portuguese meal but not Bacalhau! I waited in anticipation as there were some lovely aromas wafting out the door!
She proudly presented me with steak , egg and chips; i think something was lost in translation !

We had experiences like this as well. So funny but definitely fond memories!

We had a very good meal at a tapas place in Tui, just across the border into Spain. It was on the left on the walk up to the cathedral. The name was Parillada-Taperia A Muralla. Great view from up there too.

Meal, view and close to the cathedral. That sounds perfect!

Pasteis de nata have to top the list. Also fond memories of fish and seafood dinners by the coast before I headed in to the Central, the lovely dinner at Casa da Fernanda (although this wasn't on the Coastal part), and pimientos in Padron.

I don't really regret the Fancesinha in Porto but one was enough to last quite a while.

Yum to all - especially Pasteis De Nata!

My most memorable ‘food experience’ occurred some twelve or more years ago, in Porto. The sole vegetarian option on the menu was a €7 tomato salad. It consisted of half a tomato sliced and artistically drizzled with balsamic vinegar, without so much as a basket of bread. A light meal for a Camino-lite?

CAD 11 for half of a tomato and some vinegar....at days gone by prices?! That would be 'memorable' indeed!
