Food
And voilá, the main dish, piglet roasted to perfection in a wood oven. Really juicy, tender meat. Even better than Caneira, and I loved Caneira. But my god it was even better. The meat was roasted but still moist and succulent, the skin was really crispy. I don't know what they're doing differently but it's working!
Are you up to some Piglet?
Hello gorgeous!
I'm kinda of late at showing my family lunch out to celebrate my b-day, life has caught up with me.
Nonetheless here it is. We, like last year, decided to eat some divine piglet. We headed to Negrais, a promise land for the piglet dish.
We choose Tia Alice this time. Just to change up things a bit and because we've heard so much about it being better than Caneira. It didn't disappointed. We arrived at 2pm and still had to wait 15 minutes for a table, that's how good the restaurant is, it's reputation is gigantic.
They have a lovely decor, so fresh, charming and warm. I really like what they've came up with.

| The desserts stand uh-lá-lá |
First things first, the entries. Consisted of fresh bread, smoked sausage and fresh cheese. Really good! I like to eat the fresh cheese unsalted but go ahead and sprinkle it with salt or pepper. I just wish they would put more sausage ahahah it was gone under a minute!
Accompanied by fried potatoes, salad and some crispy rice yes the rice with livers and I still separate the liver from the rice ah! And even the potatoes tasted better.

| "Arroz de miúdos" Rice consisted of gizzards and livers |
And to end the meal, but of course the coffee.
A divine meal, definitely worth the wait!! Highly recommend to eat some piglet. One of best places for me!
The people are really nice, really quick, efficient, they're friendly, feels like a "family".
I'm hungry all over again Ah!
Have a good weekend :D
