COIMBRA, PORTUGAL Joao Dos Leitoes

 We were determined to have some piglets today, so we did not take any chance. We arrived at Joao Dos Leitoes a little before noon, before they opened. We were their first customers and were promptly seated.

Our eyes got wide when we saw the suckling pigs being brought in, two by two. We learned that the piglets were slayed around 4-6 weeks old, while they were still suckling on their mother's milk. This made their meat so tender and juicy. The way they were roasted gave very crispy skin.

We each had our own plate of suckling pigs with homemade chips and orange salad. It was a simple yet delicious meal.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Definitely seek this out if you are in the area. Go early or be willing to wait. Don't go near closing time and risk them running out of piglets.
