A petisco (petʃˈiʃku) is a snack, something to pick at, meant to share, while you have a beer or a glass of wine with friends, sometimes also present in some restaurant menus as appetizers, but frequently can easily compose a full meal.
Curiously enough there are even places that sell only Caldo Verde and Chorizo Bread, which become a typical meal in late hours when people come out of night clubs in Lisbon. Nothing satisfies us more than a clay bowl of hot caldo verde soup in the winter. This soup was elected in 2011 one of the Portuguese 7 wonders of gastronomy. Another one of the petiscos you have to try while in Portugal.
While in Lisbon you will have the chance to taste at least some of these nice petiscos but if you have a tour with us and want us to reccomend some of these, be sure to tell us and we will include this in the trip. It is definately a nice addition to our Full Day Lisbon Tour
