Crucially, request no boiled potatoes ('sem batatas'). Focus on the sardines and a side green salad with oil and vinegar dressing. Ask for dressing on the side if possible.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Nas Sardinhas Assadas, por favor, sem batata. Na salada, só azeite e vinagre, ou só azeite. O molho não tem açúcar?
For the Sardinhas Assadas com Salada, no potatoes. For the salad, simple olive oil and vinegar, or oil only. Confirm no sugar in dressing.
Watch out for
