Good to know

When ordering at the restaurant in Portuguese, A ementa, por favor asks for the menu. Vinho da casa means the restaurant's house wine; it does not mean the wine is free. Imperial fresca orders a cold draught beer; the name for this serving varies within Portugal.

Petisco usually refers to a small dish served with drinks or before a meal. Pastel de bacalhau is a savoury cod fritter, often eaten as a snack. Pode trazer-me a conta? is a polite way to ask for the bill.
