I got a horrible head cold en route to Lisbon and ate some kind of shellfish and bread stew there that was the perfect dish in the circumstances. A sort of Mediterranean nursery food, it felt like.
I really have to give you a very sad news: the Pap'Açorda restaurant is now located on the top floor of the tourist-oriented Time Out Market in Cais do Sodré. Nowadays, patrons are more tourists and the like - politicians and affluent Lisbonites moved to other places, between JncQuoi, Sao Bento Cafe, Nunes Marisqueira, and other places - like secret spot Bom de Veras, home of many long lunches with cigars, Belmiro, and Salsa e Coentros. The affluence citizenry is nowadays mainly expats, and they all have their circles, like the dozens of French bistro popping up in the last five years and catering for homesick French citizens, and Brazilian inspired locations to calm the saudade of the affluent "Golden Visa" residents.
The semiotic distinction between Migas and Acorda gets complicated further, when we introduce the geographical specificity of Alentejo, where minas have a different meaning altogether, and so does acorda.
Thanks so much for the marvellously useful update, Gastroillogica! I'll add a note to the post and recommend your info. Very grateful.
