    Locals avoid Temple Bar. Like the plague. Full of tourists and overpriced food and drink. Ah yeah, but the Palace Bar is one of the better ones in Temple Bar. But, I would have walked 5 minutes to The Gingerman instead.

    I suppose that, in view of overtourism, one must develop different skills. it's difficult to avoid restaurants for tourists in the centre. sometimes (in Lisbon also) it takes only a few minutes walk from more crowded areas to reach more "local" places and, cheaper places. on the other hand, cheaper place does not always mean better food. just keep trying, even if you seem to keep to very touristic areas.

    Late to the party here, but your question about Beef steak and mince rarity is exactly what you thought! Steak can be ordered however you like, however, food safety standards indicate that ground mince meat should always be cooked through. Eating even a medium burger can have serious risks, but Bunsen seem to be doing it right.

    • @MelMashbat

    From what I could understand in the very-common-tram-incident the black man (from the van crew?) is saying there was nothing he could do because there was another car in front blocking him (sounds like rubish, there's always someone blocking the tracks because they're either lazy or crappy drivers). Can't make out the other voices but they're saying he can't park there. It's very common and one of the reasons you sometimes wait 20 minutes for a tram and then see 3 of them at once. As to the Time Out Market, sure, if it's your thing try it out but I've been there maybe twice and it's not for me. Local guy with local wages and just want to say if you're a tourist and can afford to spend more, I have no problem with that, good for you and those businesses. Thank you for clarifying about "tapas" (a spanish word). Will NEVER, EVER enter a place with "tapas" in it's name or menu. I honestly hate that they do that. I can understand if it's a spanish food restaurant but that's rarely the case, it's just a tourist bird-call. "Petiscos" is the way to go, as you say. So, bacalhau. We used to have a numerous fishing navy and bacalhau was actually a very affordable and common fish that because it was salted for conservation could easily be distributed to the interior of the country. Also, most recipes are actually very easy and quick to make. Bacalhau à Brás I do every week and takes maybe 20 minutes to make, including preparation. "Pastel OF nata"... My God!... Best description for Ginjinha (after we've had a pastel de nata) I've had so far is "The perfect breakfast!". Best time to go to the top of the Arco da Rua Augusta, in my opinion, is December when they put the Christmas Tree in that square. If you're still in Lisbon try the restaurant Cana Verde in Alfama and let me know what you think. Loved the video and enjoyed following along. Always welcome!

      Wow, thank you for taking the time, explaining all the intricacies! I found them so fascinating! For the tram, do the drivers get fined for parking that way? Or get towed or is it not really enforced? I can't imagine what you guys, the locals go through when the tram gets stuck but you're in a hurry w a bunch of tourists taking photos! 😅 What's your preferred mode of transport these days? One of my highlights of the trip was all these delicious petiscos in tascas and now that I'm on this restrictive diet (health concern), I'm even more appreciative of them! Fresh, quality ingredients without additives and how you guys work with it was so mind-blowing! Like you make 20 minutes for bacalhau? Wow! Will store bought matchstick fries help? At this point, cod must be in you guys' blood! 😛 I came back and made my version, I was in the kitchen for at least an hour! How do you do it? Oh My God! Pastel de nata & Ginjinha does sound like a Perfect Breakfast! I found 1 portuguese store 20 miles away from home, I can't wait to go there! Aaaw, it must be magical there right now, with the Christmas tree in the placa. Definitely will be back, thank you for all your recommendations and Cana Verde in Alfama! I visited Lisbon in spring, do you think fall would be a great time to visit next?

    Temple bar, started out as the place where free thinkers, artisans and artists took residence, because the rents were cheap in a place where it was earmarked to be demolished to build a bus station. it became so popular that the developers moved in, and all those free thinkers, and artists were forced out, the last of them recently with the closure of the Icon factory and the Icon walk, to make way for yet another fast food takeaway. money speaks louder than art, especially here in Dublin where i live. Oh, by the way, Burdocks fish and chips, yeah another tourist trap, no better or worse than most take aways in Dublin. when my mother bought her fish and chips there in the 1940s/50s and 60s, its was beef fat over a coal fired fryer, now its vegetable il like anywhere else. it certainly not worth a visit, certainly not worth their inflated prices!

    Best Brekky ever is at Lovinspoon in Dublin. Get the Regular and an Americano... you will come back the next morning for the same God willing.

    Burdocks is a great place, with a deserved reputation... if talking Christchurch. The one in Temple Bar is a travesty. Dunno how to sugarcoat to be polite, but their Temple Bar place is only there to scam tourists with shite that a cat would refuse. Oddly enough, I love my Guinness, and have worked there in St James Gate, but never did the Storehouse tour.

      Yeah, I was wondering how these warm and kind people with great smiles can serve such dry fish without taste. I'm not one to be blunt but I really was looking forward for fish n chips lol

    I'm from Dublin, and can confirm that the Temple Bar area is utter garbage that is mostly purely overpriced tourist scam. There are a few decent places in that area, like Seafood Café , but for most things, there are much better places within a 5 minute walk. There's also a lot of places that trade on the decent brand they've built up in other locations that open a place there and serve shite. (Burdocks) Have eaten in most of the places shown, but the one that stands out that I haven't, is ? The Pickle. I need to visit it.

    • @MelMashbat

      The food at Pickle was mouthwatering and fragrant, overall a nice experience, the only thing to warn you about though is the server keeps bugging you if you want any more dishes to up his sale. Me and my husband just ordered 2 items but he kept insisting to get one more entree etc. Anyways, please share your wisdom on any other good places! If direct flights to Dublin go on sale, I'll be more than happy to hit ur recommended spots

    Hi, I'm a tour guide from Dublin, nice videos! The Brazen Head is not the oldest pub in Ireland, even though it's painted outside. 😂 'Sean's Bar' in Athlone, 120km from Dublin was radio carbon dated to 900 AD.

    • @MelMashbat
      @MelMashbat 3 місяці тому

      Awesome thank you! Yeah why would they claim it as such?! (to draw in tourists, perhaps) mmm, interesting. wow, thanks to u just found out Sean's Bar is in the Guinness World Records as the oldest one 😉
