** Grammar notes

• Eu sou vegetariano, eu sou vegetariana, eu vou comer
  Portuguese people rarely use the words for I, you, he, she. This is because the form of the verb normally shows quite clearly which person you are referring to.
  When they do use it, it's usually to make a distinction between people: Eu vou comer uma carne de porco, I’m going to have the pork, compared with what others at the table are going to have.

There's a huge choice of fish and seafood in Portuguese restaurants, most famously bacalhau, dried cod and camarões, shrimps. There's also a range of sweet desserts like pudim flan, crème caramel, arroz doce, rice pudding and gelados, ice cream.
