We had lunch at 100 Monteditos with Carol and Paul.
If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that I love food. I have enjoyed some spectacular meals during my travels and I have also eaten some downright terrible food. Some of the restaurants have been awarded stars and I couldn’t figure out why. And some that will never get a star were fantastic.
Last Saturday, while watching YouTube, I came across a video done by a couple who specialize in finding cheap things to eat and do around the world. This particular video focused on the city of Cascais, Portugal – a ten minute train ride from where we live. I was intrigued, not because it was close to us, but because there was a cheap place to eat in Cascais. Cascais is a small, gorgeous fishing village that has blossomed over time into a very expensive place to live. (Friends in the US: Think about how Destin, Florida grew up.) Houses in Cascais go for over a million dollars. So I was a bit skeptical of their restaurant find.
Cheap eats? I’m in!
In the video, they introduced me to 100 Montaditos, a restaurant across the street from the Cascais train station. I immediately recognized the name because we have walked past it dozens of times but had never eaten there. They have about a dozen tables outside and on nice days they always appear busy. During one of our last outings, we both commented, “We should try that place sometime.”
