Rota dos Petiscos bring fun and food to the Arade River
There are seventy establishments that have signed up to take part in the Rota dos Petiscos – snack’s route, which will include the fishing village of Ferragudo for the first time.
This celebration started last Friday and will last till the 13th of October and was designed to discovers the flavor of the city, with eateries in Portimao, Paia da Rocha, Alvor and Ferragudo offering sample-size dishes of their local delicacies plus a drink for only 2.50 Euro. A regional sweet option will also be available for two Euros.
The Rota celebration will allow foodies to try a bunch of local specialties, savory and sweet, in mini-size portions while also exploring the surroundings.
The city of Portimao has 37 establishments taking part in the Rota, Praia da Rocha 16, Alvor will have eight and Ferragudo has nine. Ferragudo is the ‘Guest Area’ in this year’s celebration.
This inclusion is the result of a partnership between the village and the Portimao-based agency Teia de Impulsos, aimed to promote local food and drink as well as obviously encourage people to visit the village of Ferragudo.
The Ferragudo offer is quite appealing with the Sueste restaurant putting on a razor clam soup, while the A Ria restaurant will offer a cockle casserole and of course there will be sardines and red wine at the brand new Casa Grande while the Casa Verde will be occupied with octopus salad.
Cade Duplex will also offer some grilled octopus, while the restaurant Barril’s specialty is chopped pork with a Portuguese marinade, but if you’re interested in chicken head to the Tempo Bistrot. The Q Café will be completing the Ferragudo route with village-inspired canapés.
In order to take part on the route all you have to do is to purchase a ‘passport’ at one of the participating establishment and have some tasty fun.
