A journey through Petiscos
Portuguese Tapas

Petiscos are a beloved part of Portuguese gastronomy, similar to Spanish tapas, and are a social way to eat and drink, with dishes often shared among friends. Petiscos are generally small versions of larger dishes allowing you to taste many more dishes. Portuguese even have a verb for this: petiscar, which refers to the Portuguese art of snacking, or having fun sharing in a delicious way!

Our food journey:

Right when you sit, and even before you ordered anything, this is the combination you find at every coffee or restaurant table in Portugal:
Lupins
Olives
Bread

Followed by the most common petiscos (tapas) in every friends gathering in Portugal:

Portuguese Chickpea salad
Fava (Broad bean) Salad
Black-eyed pea Salad

Then, enjoy the Portuguese most traditional and requested soup:
Caldo Verde (Green Broth)

And continue with the warm dishes from 3 regions in centre/south of Portugal:

Açorda de tomate (Tomato and Bread stew)
Pataniscas de Legumes (Vegetable fritters)
Pica pau
(literally means woodpecker, but it doesn't contain any bird meat -
It alludes to how Portuguese eat the dish, pecking the pieces with a toothpick)

After your savoury petiscos, you will be craving for sweets and Portuguese don't disappoint:

Christmas Portuguese Sweets
