As soon as the weather gets warmer, small signs start appearing outside cafés and tascas saying “Há caracóis”.
For many Portuguese people, this is a sign that summer is starting.
Caracóis are small snails cooked with garlic, oregano and spices, usually eaten with bread, toasted bread and a cold beer.
This is definitely one of those things people either love or hate.
You’ll mostly find them between May and August, especially in the late afternoon when cafés start filling up after work or after the beach.
If you want to try them, here are 3 well known places in Lisbon:
O Júlio dos Caracóis
Pomar de Alvalade
O Lutador
