Start your day with breakfast at any one of the numerous pastelarias (cafés or pastry shops), which are open all day and serve a selection of sweet and savoury pastries and great coffee.

Portuguese restaurants are usually open for lunch from 12:00 to 15:00. Dinner is served between 19:30 and 23:00 although there are always a few restaurants that are open until 02:00.

The Portuguese adore their snacks so if you feel a bit peckish in the evening, enjoy a light petisco (similar to Spanish tapas), which is served in many bars.
