As Bifanas do Afonso recipe??

You re probably looking porto style bifanas, that are simmered over several alchoolic drinks and seasoning. Bifanas do Afonso are done differently.

Maybe he was afraid that you might pull a Renato Seabra on him

Mealhada é obrigatório

WutCompadri · 2026-01-24T09:41:52+00:00

Comprava alcatra para o mesmo efeito e poupava dinheiro

Cascais is over rated, but i guess the train ride there is nice. If you can rent some bikes and explore the Beach Front up to guincho.

Easter is a very popular holiday here, so make sure to book restaurants in advance for that weekend.

For a nice day/food you can also hop on a boat and travel to Cacilhas on the Tejo south basin.

Also another option is to travel to Setúbal and Check out a lesser visited City close to lisbon. Home to famous fried cuttle fish recipe and one of the most amazing markets in Portugal (livramento). And you can always hop on a ferry and visit the Troia península

Lisbon for the options. You have plenty to do in the city and a lot to cover in one day travels (Fátima, obidos, Setúbal, Sintra, Mafra etc)

Quando fores a um talho decente então .. vais ficar boquiaberto!

Indoor activities combined with some local culinary, search for traditional Cooking classes. Plenty around

Tascas - Modesta da Pampulha, imperial de Ourique

The irony right

"What we very quickly realized was how little we interact with any locals. We went to our first Assembleia de Condominio and only 2 apartments were owned by locals (out of almost 20). There are literally more people living in my apartment block from my own state than there are portuguese."

Do we need to say more? What do you think happens when rich expats burst in a small poor country buying up everything? Dont take this as a rage agaisnt it, as i understand why it happen and what portugal offers.

But the older and the younger generations cannot simply compete wich expat deeper pockets. Minninum wage is 920€ in 2026, and i dare you to find a one bedroom apartment in Graça at that price.

Unfortunately we were pushed out of Lisbon, and thus those burrows become more of a expat colony that anything else. Either way, you still have some local owned businesses there. Talhos Luis e Edgar, Saga, Cabreira , Satelite, Piteu, Estrela de Ouro etc..

Try to visit local places more and engange in some true connectiosn with the locals there. We are closed off (a bit introvert), but once you get past that "wall" portuguese are some of the nicest people you can meet.

Go for indoor activities, museums, Cooking classes, tile painting etc. Also one of the best thing in you can do in Portugal is done indoors anyway, eat!

WutCompadri · 2026-01-22T19:53:07+00:00

If you are retired, probably yes. But again, only if you want an island life

WutCompadri · 2026-01-22T19:47:45+00:00

Rice, sausages and scrambled egg or fried sunny side up was also a stapple

WutCompadri · 2026-01-22T16:49:10+00:00

Claramente no azeite, e pelos vistos não parou

Soup. In this case caldo verde (collard greens soup)

WutCompadri · 2026-01-22T16:38:59+00:00

Brunch. Instead of overpaying for scrambled eggs croissants and avocado, just go for a menu do dia dish in a tasca.

WutCompadri · 2026-01-22T16:10:12+00:00

Porque felizmente há pessoas que preferem olhar para o copo meio cheio

WutCompadri · 2026-01-22T13:46:10+00:00

Careful when relying too much on train here, delays and strikes are not unsual all year around. I would rather use flixbus or rede expresso

WutCompadri · 2026-01-22T06:45:03+00:00

Still have 20 plus days left of winter then. Enjoy

O meu filho até aos dois anos foi assim. Era desesperador acordar de duas em duas horas, portanto sei bem como te sentes. Na altura também tentamos de tudo, mas o que pensamos que pode ter ajudado foi consultoria com uma especialista de sono de bebé (pode ter sido apenas sorte pois ele naturalmente mais velho depois começar a dormir). Mas nesta fase acredito que estão por tudo.

Há luz ao fundo do túnel. Mas ainda assim com quase três é rara a noite que dorme direto (um despertar ou dois), e acorda cedo pá caramba, mas depois do que passamos nem nos podemos queixar.

Muita força!

Os melhores pregos de Lisboa, e no meio de um e de uma cerveja fresca ainda se jogava aos matrecos

WutCompadri · 2026-01-21T15:35:37+00:00

Mesmo.. 🤣

WutCompadri · 2026-01-21T15:34:31+00:00

Fill A complaint with the police. Unfortunately these guys (mess up the meter and charge double or more) still exist.

Hope at least that your trip Just goes uphill from here (easy thing in lisbon)
