Holiday memory — Sardinhas Assadas that transported me back

I first ate Sardinhas Assadas on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the sweet and eggy in pastries quality I remembered. fresh sardines was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong.

pastéis de nata originated in Belém monastery in the 18th century. It was the a Lisbon tasca restaurant memory that I was really chasing and this recreated it. Vinho Verde was offered and brought the whole experience together. Some dishes are attached to a time and place. This one finally restored that attachment.
