Expert Etiquette

Dining • Salt and Pepper

"Taste the food first. Most Portuguese chefs take pride in their seasoning."

General • The "Siesta"

"Understand that Portugal does not have a Spanish-style Siesta, but life slows down in the afternoon heat."

Dining • The Appetizers (Couvert)

"Know that the bread, olives, and cheese brought to the table are not free. Only pay for what you eat."
