  1. Time Out Market is brilliant, my favorite place in Lisbon. My tips: start with a pink tonic (Taylor's) or any other cocktail from the Time Out Bar and then order some codfish Brás style (chef Miguel Castro e Silva). You seem to be a fan of octopus, so I also recommend the octopus salad (chef Henrique Sá Pessoa) and the unique octopus hot dog (Sea Me). For dessert, try some Abbot of Priscos pudding. Bom apetite!

  2. octopus is like the best dish in the world, but it's hard for me in restaurants cause i always remember my mom's one with cornbread on top. port wine… the place to try port wine is in porto, and they have so many places where you can have a great tasting experience. in lisbon we usually have a small sample of ports, comparing to how many they have in the north.

    ginjinha – for me the best one is "sem rival" in baixa, near to the classic one. there's also some other cool places for the drink, but those two places are the most classic.

    canned fish? go to the supermarket. you can find great canned fish, and cheaper.

    that bacalhau shop is a awful by the way. no one, literally no one in portugal puts cheese on a pastel de bacalhau. 5 euros per that is just stealing, is an absurd. plus, they are a new business that decided to put a date at their front door, like they were from the beggining of the XX century, but they arent. they put fado at the entrance, just to lure tourists in. i feel ashamed those type of shops exist: they pretty much just grab portuguese culture and sell it out how they want to get profit. i feel used by them. putting cheese on codfish is like putting mango on italian pasta. it's just a way for them to make money, by tricking people into a thing that's not real.

    i am glad the pastry was good, but it should never be named "pastel de bacalhau" cause it aint one. sorry for the rant, but as portuguese and also as a former tour guide in Lisbon, that triggers me.

    pastel de nata: i think matengaria's filling is better, but i prefer the pastel de belem crust. so i love them both, each one on its own. manteigaria is more central, which means it's easier to get those pastries there. but near where i live there's a great place for pastel de nata, i dont need to go to any of them now. a good pastel de nata is not that hard to find in portugal, fortunately.

  3. Just to clarify, the pasteis de belem are not pasteis de nata and vice versa, they do look the same, but the belem ones have a secret hidden recipe only known by the house chefs that is passed down indoors, some say they don't have cream but yogurt in their filling, but no one really knows, and that's why only them can have the name "pasteis de belem".
    That being said, the "pasteis de nata" were invented based on the ones in belem, but as no one had the recipe, people guessed it was made with cream and created their own version, each pastry shop have their own kind, and became moniked as "pasteis de nata" so to not be confounded with the belem ones.
    As you said the belem ones are flakier, and his filling is less sweet, and has some sourness.
    But I am with you, I am a local and for me the manteigaria ones are better

  4. Manteigaria is way better than Belém. I agree.
    Who cares if the original Flavor is in Belém, sometimes is not the original flavor the better. Manteigaria is great, they use the best ingredients (milk from Açores, eggs from house chickens and not from intensive aviaries), I remember a interview TV when Manteigaria start to be a huge success, the pastry chef tell in that interview about the thousands of experiments to came up with this magnificent pastel de natal.
    The one in Belém have the original flavor and is close to the major monuments of Lisbon, that's why they continue to have huge success, but most locals dont go there, only the Portuguese from other cities and the tourists.
