The food in Lisbon is based around fresh meat, grilled fish, and lots of peppers and tomatoes. Caldo verde is Portugal's national dish. Perfect as a starter or light lunch, Caldo verde is a healthy soup made with kale, sausage, and collard greens. You'll find it in most of Lisbon's restaurants. For something more hearty, try the cozido – a classic Portuguese stew of beef, pork, and seasonal veg. Fish-lovers should look out for bacalhau. This is a gorgeous salt-cod dish served with red bliss potatoes and Kalamata olives. Bacalhau also comes with a boiled egg. Sounds weird, but it works.
