Once again, we asked our guides for dinner recommendations, and once again, we were pointed in the right direct and had a very enjoyable and delicious dinner. We were told Casa Guedes was a good place with traditional, non-tourist foods. That was our choice. We try to avoid touristy restaurants as much as possible, and like to go where the locals recommend and where they eat themselves.
Once again, the place was hoppin’. This is always a good sign. 🙂
One of the traditional dishes we hadn’t tried yet that was on our list was caldo verde, or green soup. Caldo Verde is a traditional, hearty Portuguese soup (literally “green broth”) originating from the northern Minho province. It features a creamy potato base, olive oil, garlic, onion, and thinly sliced kale (or collard greens). It is famously finished with savory, smoky Portuguese chouriço or linguiça sausage. Larry ordered the caldo verde and a traditional Portuguese pork sandwich.
I ordered the roasted chicken with a port reduction sauce. Everything was very good, but I have to say, I liked what I ordered better. 🙂
After dinner, and after letting the ports go through our system, it was time to head back to the hotel. After all, it had been a VERY FULL day. We were beat. We needed to get our “beauty sleep” before yet another busy, full day.
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.

Thanks again. 🙂
