It was a pretty casual day for us yesterday as we just took it easy and tried to see all the things we hadn’t seen yet. The rain stayed away most of the day but just like most days opened up after the sun went down.
Of course our highlights of the day were places we ate at and today was a perfect day for trying all of the recommended local foods and locations to try them.
Conga – Casa das Bifanas – Joanie and Brett enjoyed their famous bifana sandwiches that are thinly sliced pork with sauce on a hard roll. I went with their classic pork sausage with fries, all were delicious. The place is not a secret, they opened at 11:30 and when we got there was a line of locals but the place is huge so we sat quickly.
For afternoon espresso and a snack (always dessert) we had to go back to Dona Mira Bar to enjoy the laid back atmosphere and great music. We did have to sprint to our apartment when leaving, another thunderstorm decided it was a good time to show up.
Finally for the evening we went to the recommend Brasao Aliados to get their traditional “Francesinha,” it is a delicious sandwich smothered in cheese and gravy with a pork filling. We were told to share it and it’s good we did, it was big enough for all three of us with some even left over. Then it was another sprint home in the rain.
Can’t wait to see where we eat today, taking a train to another city…
