I stumbled upon…read morePica Pau while meandering back to my hotel after realizing that the restaurant I was originally planning to eat lunch at was closed on Thursdays. It was getting a wee bit late for lunch (~1:30 PM), and I was quite hungry, so when I passed by Pica Pau and saw how packed it was, I knew I had to drop by to give it a try. It's absolutely bustling inside; there are several tables inside and outside, and you can generally just seat yourself as long as there's an open slot. There are very few tourists here -- another great sign -- so the menus will all be in Portuguese, and it will be hit or miss as to whether your server can translate for you. However, the menu is pretty simple, so it's easy enough to intuit what they say (or to just use Google Translate) -- the menu is spread across three blackboards, one for daily specials, another for seafood, and the last for other meat dishes. Everything is just twelve euros for lunch, and it also comes with a drink and bread. You genuinely can't go wrong with anything on their menu. My mom and I both ordered from their seafood menu, and the fish is super fresh and grilled to perfection. It has a perfect char on the outside, and is super flaky and tender on the inside; they add a hit of salt and a side of lemon, but the fish honestly doesn't need much else. The fish also comes with a side of boiled veggies and potatoes, which are a great, neutral accompaniment to the fish. I ordered the swordfish, and my mom got the sea bass, but we ended up splitting both of the dishes between us (especially since they both conveniently came with two pieces). Both were phenomenal, but I did enjoy the swordfish a tiny bit more; it was a bit more tender, and they also descaled the swordfish but did not for the seabass, so it was a slightly easier eating experience.

First up was Chouriço assado, the local chorizo, which is tasty but sometimes a little chewy, but this was the best we had in Lisbon. Next up Queijo velho with olive oil and Rosemary, a cheese served in a jar of olive oil and rosemary. Didn't expect to like it but it had such a great Rosemary taste I just kept going back for more. And finally a Tiborna with goat cheese, honey, and walnuts, which could have been dessert and it was fabulous.

I've been living in Lisbosa for the last 65 days, and this is my favorite coffee/brunch spot. I will miss it when I return home to Arizona, because I know no one else can compare. This place makes the best flavor combinations, and their own homemade sauces! My favorite dish is the Ham toast. Between the fluffy eggs, delicious ham, luscious cream cheese with lemon zest, homemade tomato sauce, scattered olives and spices...it's divine! All of the coffee options are great too! Below is a pic of the avocado toast which is great too. If I was a better picture taker, I'd also have a pic of the ham one. I'll try to add one later. Just go and pick out your favorite!

If you are looking for a cute local restaurant with a fantastic breakfast and brunch menu, Augusto…read moreis an absolute gem. The shakshuka, part of the seasonal menu, was incredibly flavorful and bright. The tomato sauce was perfectly balanced, not overly acidic at all, and beautifully complemented by the green pea hummus, fresh salad, and red onion. It comes with exceptional homemade sourdough bread that is perfect for wiping up every last bit of sauce. My only tiny critique is that I wish the egg yolk had been a bit more runny rather than jammy, but it was still a delicious dish. For drinks, the Cremoso Iced Coffee is a total indulgent treat. Combining a double shot of espresso with vanilla, milk, and pastéis de nata ice cream, it is definitely on the sweeter side for coffee in Portugal. It feels more akin to a standard, sweetened iced coffee in America, but the blend of sugar, cream, and cinnamon made it the perfect vacation splurge. The interior decor is adorable, bringing lots of tropical, fresh, and welcoming vibes that are perfect for a cozy morning. Because the indoor seating is fairly limited, I can see it getting packed during peak hours. However, my party of three walked right in and got a table with no issues on a Monday morning around 9:00 AM. I would highly recommend Augusto if you're in the area and looking for a high quality, local brunch spot.

Which is probably why even after the lunch rush it was still a 20 minute wait for indoor seating (outside would have been less, but it was too hot). While Portuguese service is nothing like American service, I agree with others that servers here seem particularly unfriendly, even by Portuguese standards. Adega de Belem is small, but really pretty and evocative of an adega. The azulejos are beautiful. We ordered sangria, which was refreshing but not all that strong. We all enjoyed our meals. I had the sea bass, which was grilled with herbs and accompanied by potatoes and salad. It was traditionally Portuguese, which I love, and it was good. Belem isn't high on my return list, but if I ever did return, I'd eat at Adega de Belem.

When we arrived, they were just doing counter service and closing for the afternoon, but we were able to get a panini and we found local craft beer (which was pretty neat) and they let us eat on their patio. I had the Iberian sandwich which has Iberian prosciutto, flamengo cheese, lettuce, tomato, and pickled red onion. It was the perfect sandwich to cure my hangry. When we went for lunch the day before we did not know that this café was also the breakfast part of our bed and breakfast. We stayed at a bed-and-breakfast the next street over and both mornings a continental breakfast at this café was included. This is one of the best breakfasts I have ever had as part of the bed-and-breakfast. We were each served a portion of fresh fruit (which changed by the day), a boiled egg, a couple slices of ham and cheese, a pastel de nata, a basket of crossiants and rolls to share, and whatever you would like to drink. I had fresh squeezed orange juice, and a latte both days. Thankfully, like most places in Portugal they offer dairy alternatives. I honestly still dream about this breakfast. The wait staff on all of our trips were so friendly and helpful. It is really a beautiful set up and they have many things that you can purchase as well. I personally purchased a bowl shaped like a strawberry that I now have in my kitchen. This is definitely a stop. You need to make while in Sintra!
