The traditional Portuguese diet largely revolves around meats and seafood, with egg-based desserts to round things out. Most restaurants will still try to accommodate vegetarian requests, even if they’re puzzled by them. Dishes such as vegetable soup, salad, olives, and salted beans seem to make up the main vegetarian offerings in Portugal. Travelers who are looking for more substantial meals might want to cook their own food in their rooms or in the hostel kitchen. Of course, vegetarians can find more cuisine styles in cities, and they’ll have more veggie-friendly options to choose from in urban locales.
