Underwhelming Sardinhas Assadas — expected more

I was looking forward to Sardinhas Assadas here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The bright with olive oil and garlic character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with fresh sardines or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

pastéis de nata originated in Belém monastery in the 18th century. The a Lisbon tasca restaurant setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. Sagres beer was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
