Portugal, Part VI: An eatery with a view of the Atlantic that seems to stretch forever.
Cabo da Roca is the cape that forms the westernmost tip of mainland Europe. It's a worthwhile stop, an hour's drive from Lisbon, with strong winds that threatened to blow us away.
The no-frills cafe here provides a wide range of Portuguese snacks, including "pastel de bacalhau," a cod fish-& potato croquette. Nicely battered comfort food.
The closest thing to a Portuguese cupcake. Sweet, moist and fresh-tasting.
Even the most humble outlet in Portugal serves wine. Gotta love it.
Restaurante Cabo da Roca,
Sintra, Portugal.

ReplyDelete*sighs* I remember this place - it was so beautiful... but yeah, can also be frightfully windy/ cold! :)

michelle: u're right! this could be the setting for a 1960s murder mystery! i can imagine lots of running, chasing and hiding :D
ReplyDeletej: i didn't think of that! yaa, it must be bitterly cold during the winter, especially with the gusts of wind still blowing. would need to hold a mug of steaming-hot coffee to stay warm :D
wow what a view. I wished we had those restaurants here with the same view!
