Portugal Restaurant recommendation
We ate at Lisboa A Noite, Rua das Gaveas, 69. It was recommended by a good guide and the food was excellent. One thing that was a surprise: we were given a cheese and olive plate which we did not order. The waiter said "you will be charged if you eat this, but will not be charged if you don't." We were hungry so of course we ate part of it and got charged 8 euros!

Not unlike wait staff asking "still or bubbly" when you ask for water, omitting the option of tap water. By virtue of having done pre-travel research here you'll know how it works and act accordingly.

Concerning tap water... I would never dream of asking for it in a restaurant. Why not? I really don't know, but all my friends and family do exactly as I do. Maybe I'm stupid and like to pay for water. At home I drink tap water. Water is potable all over the country.
