Beyond Bacalhau: Lisbon for Foodies
Dining in Lisbon is far more dynamic than navigating countless preparations of Portugal's beloved bacalhau (dried and salted cod fish; 365 recipes and counting!). While bacalhau à Brás is never far, Lisbon's strategic seaside position on Europe's doorstep means a bounty of fresh seafood rules the city's kitchens.
