Donāt worry, I think youāll probably be able to find chicken from time to time...
View attachment 46170
Great picture! Where did you find that place? It reminds me that there is a roast chicken place called Bomjardin, close to Restauradores in Lisbon, where that is all they serve. Itās touristy but yummy and cheap. But unfortunately the OP wonāt be there.
I eat a lot of chicken and am always on the lookout in Portugal for good restaurants with chicken, so if you remember any specific names, please share! There are some Indian, Goan, Angolan, etc restaurants in Lisbon with good chicken dishes but Iāve had trouble finding it in what I guess Iād call āPortugueseā places.
A bummer on the lack of chicken, but glad there is an abundance of Non-seafood options. Thank you all for your responses.
Besides the nearly ubiquitous "Frango" places (Frango is the BBQ Chix) we saw all over Portugal (not walking though) there were many open air and permanent markets in towns and cities that always had several places to buy wonderful Jamon and Cheese along with fresh bread. Chorizo there is unlike the stuff we have in US as it is often cured and ready to eat as is, no cooking needed. More like a pepperoni. Pork seemed to be served in every single establishment we entered, including places that specialized in grilled Sardines. In markets you can ask (even in Portuguese, Comer agora, I think) if what you are buying can be eaten as is.My wife and I are leaving on the 22nd from Porto and we are curious as to the availability of non-seafood options. There is a potential allergen issue with my wife, so all seafood is off the menu. We are still undecided on exact path, going to let the Camino direct us, but do have interest in walking at least partially along the coast and in my experience, coastal areas heavily favor seafood.
You should find Chicken & Pork options almost everywhere you go. I canāt recall anywhere we ate that were strictly seafood only.
And what about non-animal options for vegetarians on the Coastal Portugues?
My wife and I walked in Sept-Oct of 2018 and true to the comments above, always found plenty of non-seafood options available. What worked particular good for us was making allergy warning cards on business card stock with English/Spanish/Portuguese text on one side and pictures on the second side with slashes thru them. If we had any question, we had our cards handy and would hand them to the staff and never had any issues.And what about non-animal options for vegetarians on the Coastal Portugues? And water? are people finding places (fountains or in cafes?) along the different routes where they can fill up their water bottles? Are you carrying more than a liter at a time? I'm not finding consistent info. Thanks for any help.
