Food is so essential when we travel. Sampling a taste of the local foods is a great way to immerse yourself into your trip.

Collette recently detailed how the Portuguese cuisine impacted a trip to Lisbon.

If you need coffee to start the day, check out Nada Lisboa. Or if you're relaxing in a café in the afternoon and want a snack, try the Pasteis de Nata.

Describing the dish, Todd Schiller of Collette writes that they are "sweet, soothing egg custard tarts in a crisp crackly pastry."

As for real meals, you can't go wrong with seafood in Lisbon.

Try seafood rice for a nice comfort meal. Or branch out and expand the taste buds by trying something new, like squid, goose barnacles, clams, or tiger prawns.

For those with a big sweet tooth, you'll want to dive into the exotic ice cream for dessert. And if you're of age, the Portuguese sweet cherry liquor is "a must."
