I was just in Lisbon for ten days at the beginning of February. Manteigaria was my favorite pastéis de nata also. I enjoyed watching you compare them from several locations because that’s exactly what I did. Thanks for a great video.
That's awesome! We must have just missed you in Lisbon. Manteigaria was definitely our favorite pastéis de nata. We're happy to hear you compared all the different locations too! Thank you for watching!
0:35 - Apparently they didn't tell you what it was, so I will: it's a rice cake (bolo de arroz). 🙂 10:10 - The Pastéis de Belém were created here and they didn't change the name, it was everyone else who had to give their pastéis a different name because the Pastéis de Belém are trademarked and their recipe is secret and exclusive to them. Also, you can compare Pastéis de Nata among themselves, like you did, but you can't compare Pastéis de Nata and Pastéis de Belém because they're not the same thing. And you could tell the difference! 13:33 - Whoa, are you crazy or something? No one puts that much piri-piri on the food! At least not without testing how powerful it is first! 🤣
Thank you for all the extra information! We love learning all these extra details and wish we could have put them in the video. And yes, I went a little hard on the piri piri sauce😂🤣 I assumed it wasn't too hot based on the "spicy" food I experienced in Spain.
@@MYTravelBF - In Portugal you can't take any home made piri-piri sauce for granted, some people like to go a little crazy on the amount of chilli peppers them put in it. 😄
Thank you! We visited in February. The weather was fairly warm and we didn't need a jacket walking around in the sun. You definitely need one at night. It should be even nicer weather in April! Have fun on your trip, and thanks for watching!
And if you are going to eat piri piri chicken, always make sure you have a little piece of meat mixed with a little piece of skin! That's how you taste the whole experience!
@@MYTravelBF if you thought Lisbon food was great you’ll have a lot of fun down in Naples! Probably best city in the world for food, hands down it is best food city in west world 🔥
For me 🤔 this isn't the place where TUGAS go to eat bifanas, 😮 we go to the little beer shop in front of ROSSIO STATION, with lots of home made mustard and piri piri oil with a good portuguese beer 😊
The weather was fantastic in February! It was between 60-70°F every day. It might have been a little warmer than average, but it sunny which made it feel exceptional. Especially compared to living in Germany...
@@TheAverageTraveler It will definitely be a lot different than Canada in April! Local stores and restaurants probably prefer local currency to avoid fees, but most places do accept credit cards without any problems.
Should try Alcobaça sweet specialities, 😵🤯👍 👌 Aveiro, alfeizerao pastéis, sweets from Alentejo, Algarve (morgados), and to eat portuguese proper food made by the tipical TUGA people, go to the tascas, the ones were the low income people eat, 😉😋 there you find feijoada, DOBRADA, cozido à portuguesa, mão de vaca com grão, espetadas de novilho ou de porco preto, em pau de loureiro, chanfana, ENSOPADO de borrego, amêijoas à bolhão pato, sapateira recheada, arroz de pato, caldeirada de peixe, arroz de lampreia, arroz de polvo, end so on 😁 to find out, what it means translate and see pictures of the dishes, God bless,!, 🙏
Hello amigo! You dont have to drop the knife to get the chicken! Fork on the left hand, knife on the right hand! Fork picks up the food, knife helps to stabize the food on the fork! Common sense! :)
Gee, I didn't know that. But when I'm in Portugal I usually eat chicken with a spoon, to make sure I get all the delicious juices. As for the knife and fork, I am left handed, so I always hold the fork in my right hand, and the knife in my left hand. It's funny, when I was a kid, on this side of the big pond, my mother did not allow me to say the word faca, because it sounded too much like fuck. Just saying. Good work guys.
Great video but you missed out on so much food. So much you can’t even imagine. I’m from Lisbon born and raised, and still here, and you should get some advice from some locals because your have so much typical Portuguese and “lisboeta” food you should have tried that I really feel sorry for you guys. Pastel de nata is amazing, of course but, first of all, besides everything else, how come you came here and didn’t eat some of the million ways of cooking bacalhau (cod fish)?😊. You must come again. Rent a car, go to Cascais and Sintra, etc.
Thank you! It was impossible to eat everything in just the 3 days we were in Lisbon, so we'll have to return! We did have the bacalhau, but we had our camera away for it. We did make it to Sintra for a day though and actually have another video up on it if you want to check that out! Maybe next time when we come back, you can be our guide to all the other 'lisboeta' food! Thank you for watching and commenting!
You really must go to the restos the Portuguese eat at...You did the touristy food tour and that's great, but hardly where the good food is at!! Next time...
I will never understand, what on Portuguese Food is so excellent ! The Bacalhau tastes nothing, it is wet cotton ! The food has no taste, no variety in salads and legumes ! You can eat terrible sweet cakes a lot, but after two weeks in Portugal, you will become problems, except you are American or English ! 🤣 (I live here many years)
@@ingeborgbieberstein7156 I feel sorry for you if you "live here for many years" and say Portuguese food is bad. We all know you are a troll for the way you speak, but even so, must be very sad to be you. Do everyone a favour and lock yourself in whatever s*itbox it is you call home so we dont have to deal with your kind. Let proper people appreciate the good things life has to offer. Portugal, if you didn't get it.
Sorry. That may have (did) come across as rude. Everyone is different. However it does seem to be an American trait. Which is a little odd.@@MYTravelBF
It was just our food tour of Lisbon over a 4 day trip, not necessarily one you would do in a day or in a specific order. The natas were delicious though😂
