I've added these to my list, You must try V Rooftop Bar. The food is amazing and paired very well with the views of Lisbon from you guessed it the Rooftops, [R. Rodrigo da Fonseca 2, 1250-191 Lisboa, Portugal] You will not be disappointed 😌. End of thought 🤔

[@dankeats]

I will have to check it out next time I go back with just my wife. We had a bit of a different trip being that that we were traveling with our one year-old. 😅

[@Haupialani]

Do tascas expect tips like the touristy restaurants?

[@dankeats]

No, I didn’t go anywhere where they expected tips. I would always leave a few euros though if they were good because I appreciate when people treat us well. They never expect it though.

What makes you an expert on Portuguese food?

[@dankeats]

When did I say I was an expert on Portuguese food? I specifically said “based on local chefs opinions plus our own experience”. I spoke to some of the top chefs in town and got recommendations from them and asked where their favorite spots in town were.

[@tomdemeo2708]

Just checking because as you know a plethora of KZbinrs no nothing of local cuisine but still give advice

[@tomdemeo2708]

I appreciate pizza! I mean it’s Pizza let’s be real! Gotta have it 😂

[@dankeats]

@@tomdemeo2708 oh I know it. I watched nearly every single food guide video on Lisbon prior to coming and 95% of them were terrible. It’s part of the reason why I started my channel - unfortunately regardless of the city, there are a plethora of influencer wannabes giving recommendations when they have the palette of a common 6th grader. I do a TON of research prior to visiting and reach out to local chefs and restaurants to get their opinions on where to check out in an attempt to shine a spotlight on real local favorites, not just spots that are regurgitated on everyone’s videos who visit like Time Out Market.

🙋 "promo sm"

[@dankeats]

Huh? What’s that mean

[@hi5kona]

Muito bem. This list is awesome. We hope you do a list for Porto.

[@dankeats]

I’m working on it as we speak!

[@Haupialani]

Yes! I'm going next month to Lisbon first then Porto. I'd love to go places that are authentic (tascas?) and that don't expect tips.

[@dankeats]

@@Haupialaniwell I hope you took notes because all of these spots are very authentic and none of them expect tips anywhere you go in Portugal. 🇵🇹 It’s nice if you want to leave a few bucks but you don’t have to feel like you need to.
