Eating In Portugal – Part 6 – It’s A Delicious Mystery

Eating in Silves wasn’t really an option for us since most of the restaurants were closed at the time we were there. No problem. He got back into o sapo, and off we went. We just drove around until we found something that looked appealing. Beleive it or not, I don’t think I even got the name of this delicious restaurant. Nor do I really even know where we were. All I know is that we were on the road somewhere between Silves and Albufeira.

Larry is checking out the menu. We thought about dining out on the patio, but it was getting a little chilly outside, and opted for the indoor dining instead.

The restaurant was pretty empty at first, but really filled up later. As I’ve said, the Portuguese tend to eat much later than we do, so no surprise that it filled up later.

I have no idea why there was a giraffe in the middle of the dining room, but it certainly added character.

For starters, we had a bread, olive and vegetable plate. Larry was driving, so no wine for him, and I ordered a Portuguese steak, so I went with a red wine.

Larry ordered grilled octopus, which was delicious.

Everything was delicious and our server was very friendly and helpful.

The kitchen was actually on the outside, by the door, instead of “the back of the house” like they usually are. I got a quick pic of the chefs at work on the way out as we were leaving.

It was yet another jam-packed, fun filled day, but it was time to call it a day and to head back to our hotel.

Have a great day and make everyday great. Live life to the fullest. It’s not the destination that matters, but the journey. Enjoy the ride. ‘Til next time.
