It was Sunday night in Lisbon but it was Sunday morning back in the States. This meant it was time to watch football. We started walking around all the bars and restaurants to see who might have the football games on tv. Luckily for us we found Cervejaria do Bairro. We knew this was where we would be hanging out for a few hours.
They were having a football special, a beer with a basket of French fries and cheesy garlic bread. It was a good little snack. The fries had garlic on them too, which made them even better. They used freshly made bread that can be found all around the city. This bread is perfect for garlic bread, soft on the inside and crispy on the outside.
Since we were there for a while, we ended up ordering a few more things. I ordered the grilled ham and cheese sandwich. This was the perfect comfort food even in Lisbon.
We tried the cheeseburger. To our surprise it was pretty tasty. They had great seasoning on the patty, but it was the bread that made it all the better.
It was strange watching football so late at night, but it is a good thing the parties don’t start until 10:00pm in Portugal.
Enjoy!
