10 minutes later, we are indeed seated in a beautiful room with fabulous tilework depicting Alentejo country life, and sporting a huge fireplace at the far end. Then comes the second course. I decided to have the Acordo bread soup with salt cod, and a salad. The salad was good, with crumbled oregano on top. The broth was very bland.
Bread soup turns out to be just slices of bread awash in a bland broth, with chunks of salt cod.
In the meantime, Tooraj is getting antsy. He's supposed to meet some of the more party-inclined members for a last pub crawl. He leaves some money for his cover, water, and melon, and bids us all farewell. We order 5 slices of melon. They arrive relatively quickly, we wolf them down, pay, and leave.
