Portugal Food Guide - Trust Me, You Can't Stop Eating Seafood Rice

【Lisbon】Pinóquio 📍 Praça dos Restauradores 79 80, 1250-188 Lisboa (A historic restaurant on Avenida da Liberdade, 4k+ Google reviews @4.2⭐) Must-try: Paella Pinóquio's Style: Portugal's take on Spanish paella - more broth than the Spanish version, packed with generous seafood. Every spoonful is loaded! Seafood Rice: Portuguese-style, savory umami flavor. Contains lobster but can get salty if you eat too much. "Bulhão Pato" Clams: Garlicky clams - the sauce is perfect for bread-dipping! 【Lisbon】O Castíco Restaurant 📍 R. dos Sapateiros 81, 1100-578 Lisboa (Near Santa Justa Lift, 2k+ Google reviews @4.7⭐) Must-try: Mussels + Garlic: Plump mussels with garlic and subtle wine aroma. The broth will make you wipe the plate clean with bread - unexpectedly amazing! Seafood Rice: Tomato-based broth with a sweet aftertaste - uniquely delicious. "Lagareiro" Octopus: Tender yet chewy grilled octopus leg 🐙. Sangria: Their red wine-based fruit punch🍹 comes in a huge jar packed with fresh fruits - gets fruitier as you drink! 【Porto】Meia-Nau Porto 📍 Tv. de Cedofeita 48, 4050-183 Porto (Porto's hotspot, 1k+ Google reviews @4.7⭐) Must-try: Fish Soup: Thick tomato-based fish soup - super rich! Fried Squid: Crispy squid rings with garlic, butter, and wine notes - a must-try. Seafood Rice: Savory umami flavor with intense seafood essence - my personal #1 seafood rice! Lisbon's Top Pastel de Nata Spots Pastéis de Belém: The legendary original egg tart shop. Perfect milkiness and sweetness (not overpowering), though the crust is slightly firm. Fábrica da Nata: Eddie Peng-approved! Ultra-flaky crust, but the filling can taste overly sweet with a hint of cinnamon. #PortugalFood #PortugueseSeafoodRice #GrilledOctopus #LisbonEats #PortoFood #PortugalTravel #SeafoodLover #PasteisDeNata #BelemTarts
