Born and raised in Portugal. From the mountain of Sintra right to your table!
My favorite thing to eat is rotisserie chicken. Simple but hard to beat.
The best advice I've ever been given for Lisbon is "Look for handwritten menus. Even better if they're written on a disposable paper towel''!
Fred

Born and raised in Lisbon, a true "Alfacinha"
My favorite Portuguese dish is a Bitoque: steak with a fried egg served on top with a side of french fries and rice

Sara
Sara
Originally from Porto, living in Lisbon since 2016.
Favorite dish will have to be a good Duck Rice (Arroz de Pato)
Although Lisbon is beautiful inside and out always look for the open doors in the buildings, you might find some of the most amazing undiscovered monuments.
Catarina
Catarina
Born in "a garden planted by the sea" also known as Portugal.
What I love about Portuguese cuisine is the freshness of the ingredients which change every season. My favorite summer food is grilled sardines with salad.
The best way to learn about a country is through its people. Go to a farmers market, talk to strangers and experience the variety of local vegetables and fruits.

Born and raised, in the city of Porto!
If you ask what is my favorite food, there is just one answer - Francesinha!
My passions are strolling around the city, eating the city's lovely food, and learning about new cultures, and what better way to learn them than hearing what your culture is all about?
