Where do you eat out?

Elisabeth from MomCooks tagged me for this Meme related to food.

These are the rules:
1. Link to the name of the person who tagged you.
2. Include the state and country you’re in.
3. List your top 5 favorite places to eat at your location (locally).
4. Tag 5 other people (preferably from other countries/states) and let them know they’ve been tagged.

2. Here in Portugal we don't have states, we have regions. I live in Central West region.

3. I barely eat out but here are 5 places that serve great food. Some of the restaurants are not near the place I live but still in the same region. I know they have tasty food.

A) Tromba Rija - Has a big buffet with a lot of apetizers that can be use as a main meal. A big reoom where you can eat main dishes, and another room with all type of traditional dessert recipes. They also serve a wide variety of fruit including exotic fruit.

B) A Coudelaria - Big room full of light with a delightful ambient. The food is based in recipes and ingredients of Portuguese traditional cooking.

C) Quinta da Falca - Near the sea, this restaurant (also hotel and diversions available) offers mainly seafood. Live lobsters and other sea fishes are available to be served in this restaurant.

D) A Tasquinha - Several meat and fish dished. A lot of fresh sea food.

E) Hó Amaral - Located in a fishing area. Mainly sea food and traditional desserts.

I live in England, and visited Portugal in 2005, taking a boat cruise down the Duoro.

Super blog.

Laura said...

Thank you Sandra.

No problem Nia.

Jean Luc - I never did the cruise but I will one day. People say it's great.

Wooo Quinta Da Falca sounds like a great place. I love lobsters.. I guess it's a revenge thing. I used to have allergy to seafood when I was young.

Now that I can eat them again... hahaha... I seems to just enjoy eating them.

Ah... your list seems to fit my evil cravings :D

Thanks very much!
