Portuguese are foodies. If you want to experience Portugal, you must TASTE it. 
You will be delighted with our very typical "grandmother cooking style" dishes.
No matter if you go to a modern restaurant or any tasca (traditional family owned restaurant), you will always experience a homemade taste and feeling.
​And lastly, if you are also a food and wine lover, there you have the perfect cultural ice-breaker. 
The basics are:

• We cook everything with onion, garlic and olive oil;
• Lunch and dinner always include 3 dishes: soup, main dish and desert;
• We love eggs and sugar, all our traditional sweets have it;
• Nothing is better than a glass of red wine or a fresh beer.

And, if you aren´t hungry yet, here are #MyBookpack recommendations:

Portugal is known for its outstanding beaches from North to South.
With more than 850 km of coast and bathed by Atlantic Ocean, the diversity is endless! From white sand to rocky beaches, some with warm “like soup” (as Portuguese say) calm waters and others with super waves in freezing cold water, some with great conditions for surfing or kite-surfing pending on the wind and most of them optimum for relaxing and tanning. Good for a book or a lovely walk, full of people or hidden, almost unreachable, Portugal has beaches suiting all personalities and preferences. There’s however one thing that all of us, Portuguese, love doing after a day at the beach – going for a snack!
