Lunch at Primanti's


In our case, we stopped in for a lunch seasoned with nostalgia.

Primanti Sandwiches are famously topped with fresh-cut French fries and Cole slaw - a must try!
​

Primanti's Pitts-Burger - #2 Best Seller - $8.99


The number 2 best seller at Primanti's is the Pitts-burger.

​It only seemed appropriate for literal Pittsburghers to order this sandwich. 
​

You can just tell with a glance that the Italian bread is fresh and delicious, can't you?!

It was a thick chili, served with that fresh Italian bread. Comforting and delicious, an easy recommendation!

Primanti Brothers Receipt


There are not too many places that 5 adults can eat quality food for $48.73 total. 
​
Picture
5 can dine for under $50 (before tip!)
 

PSA: No Credit Cards!


​Does Primanti Bros Ft Lauderdale take credit cards?
No. Primanti's is a cash only establishment. With prices like this.. we're okay with it! ;) 
​
 

One Day In Fort Lauderdale:

Have one day in Fort Lauderdale before a cruise or after a cruise?

 

Eating at Primanti's Twice in Two Days!


​Primanti's was so tasty, reasonably priced, and conveniently located (We were staying at Gallery One Double Tree by Hilton - Photo Review Here • Check Current Prices Here) that we decided to come back the next night for pizza!
​
Picture

Here are some reasons Primanti's pizza is the best pizza in Fort Lauderdale Beach:
  • ​Dough made fresh 24 hours a day
  • "Home-Cooked" tomato sauce
  • 100% Whole Milk Mozzarella Cheese
  • Hand-Tossed Pies

Florida Primanti's Review


If you're a Steelers fan who finds yourself in ftl or anyone who spent their summers riding the Log Jammer at Kennywood growing up, you're going to get the warm and fuzzies at Primanti's. 

Picture
Next time I will try the Triple Chocolate Brownies - "They're REALLY GOOD!"

If you're not from Pittsburgh and never heard of Primanti's then you'll be sure to love this no frills, affordable sandwich and pizza shop on Fort Lauderdale Beach. It's rare to find taste at this value in the area. 

And if you're not typically a cole slaw fan - honestly neither am I - but you should still try it on your sandwich. It's not a mayonnaise-y slaw, so you may be surprised to find you like it more than you expect!


Primanti Bros: Almost Famous, Always A Favorite. Since 1933.
​

Fun Facts From My Brother:

  • The Florida locations import everything from where the Pittsburgh locations get it from. That's why the bread is so good.

    They import it from Cellone's. 

  • Also, the #1 seller is Iron City Beer. Haha

Outdoor Space 


One fun thing outside of the hotel was the placement of outdoor games to pass the time along the water. 
​
Picture

Would you be playing corn hole or jenga?!
​

Outdoor Bar


There is a nice outdoor bar if you would like to enjoy a drink along the waterway with plenty of palm trees in view!
​
Picture

​This area gets lively in the evenings and when the hotel holds events. 

Pool 

Picture

GalleryOne Double Tree Ft Lauderdale has a handicapped accessible outdoor pool. 

Lobby Cafe


There is a small cafe counter in the lobby of the Double Tree where you can order a latte if the in-room coffee isn't cutting it for you. 
​
Picture

Cafe Menu with prices


​Below you can see the menu with prices for some non-coffee beverage options including Julius Meinl teas. 

Picture

You can also grab a quick breakfast yogurt parfait, fruit cup, piece of fruit or croissant/bagel. 
​

Vue on the Water Restaurant Menu with Prices


Inside the Ft Lauderdale Gallery One Hotel there is a restaurant called Vue on the Water.

If you're wondering what the prices are like at the restaurant and what kind of foods they offer, here is the menu for Vue on the Water.

​
Picture

Checking In at Galleryone Double Tree Ft Lauderdale


It was finally time to check in and if you have allergies you will be happy to know that Double Tree now carries allergy friendly cookies for their guests! 
​
Picture

More on the cookies later.. 😉
​

Room Tour 


The GalleryOne Double Tree in Fort Lauderdale offers suites, meaning the rooms are very spacious as you will see!
​

Kitchen


Upon entering the suite, the kitchen was located to the left. It is well equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, and small refrigerator. 

Picture

Coffee Station


The in-room coffee setup was a cuisinart double brewer. There were coffee pouches, sugar and sweeteners, creamers and some tea bags. 

Picture

Dining And Living Areas


A dining table that seats four makes eating a meal or working on a laptop very convenient at this hotel. 
​
Picture

Of course there is also a couch to lounge upon as well as an oversized chair in the opposite corner. 
​
Picture

​A pocket door separates the living/dining space from the bedroom. 

bedroom


The spacious bedroom includes a large king size bed, 2 night stands and a dresser, Tv, recliner and closet space. 
​
Picture

​If you have hanging clothes, you will appreciate that there is a closet. 

Picture

The hanging height is a bit short as there is an upper shelf in the closet which houses the in-room safe and iron. There is also an ironing board. 

Picture

The closet doors offer full sized mirrors which is a great and often overlooked detail in accommodations. 
​

Bathoom


A tiled walk-in shower with rainfall shower head await.  The DoubleTree also provides shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower. 

Picture

There is a spacious countertop surrounding the sink and a large mirror. 

Picture

The View

Being on an upper floor, our suite had nice views!
​
Picture

In one direction you could see the Fort Lauderdale Skyline as a backdrop to the Galleria Mall. 
​
Picture
In the other direction you could see the intercostal waterway and the ocean! 
​
Picture

​Looking straight down you could see the pool area along the waterway. 

The Doubletree Cookie


​One of the highlights of staying at a DoubleTree are the cookies! 

Picture

And this is definitely one of the best backdrops you can get for your Double Tree Cookie!
​
Picture

We opted for the original cookie as we don't have any relevant allergies and my is she a beaut! 
​
Picture

Not only is this cookie a looker, but it's actually an absolutely delicious cookie.

​As a big chocolate chip cookie girl, I was actually shocked how good this cookie was! 
​

​And I don't mean it was "good for a free cookie".

I mean it was legitimately one of the better chocolate chip cookies I've had ever.  

​Hands down better than the one from this 
French Boulangerie. ​

Picture

PF Changs Fort Lauderdale, Florida


Irrespective of how delicious the double tree cookie was, we were starving and needed to get some real food.

​It had been a long day after disembarkation and waiting around for check-in time so we just wanted to get take out and call it a night. 
​
Picture

If you're looking for somewhere within walking distance from GalleryOne Doubletree Fort Lauderdale, try PF Changs! 
​

PF Changs Lettuce Wraps Pics


We went for the cult favorite chicken lettuce wraps.
​

​
Picture

The only disappointment was that we could not eat our meal outside as we were shooed away by the restaurant management. 

We assumed the outdoor tables and chairs were available for hotel guests.

The sign was promptly pointed out to us. 
​
Picture

Good thing our suites have nice dining tables! :) 
​
​

Galleryone Fort Lauderdale Cruise Port Hotel REview


The GalleryOne by Hilton near Port Everglades can be a great choice before or after a cruise. It's conveniently located, the rooms are spacious, and the access to a kitchen is convenient. 
​
And we can't forget the cookies! ;) 
Picture

If you have time to kill you can take the water taxi all over creation as a DIY excursion, visit the mall next door, or walk to the beach.

​There are also plenty of great restaurants to try near by!

El Primo Red Taco Review - too Good To Go Miami

1/24/2025

1 Comment

 
Before sailing on our favorite cruise ship yet, we found ourselves with a few days in Miami. 

Miami isn't necessarily the cheapest city to eat in when you're on a shoestring budget so we made great use of TooGoodToGo and Happy Hour Menus to enjoy some of the culinary offerings without completely breaking the bank.  Enter El Primo. 
Picture
El Primo Red Taco in Miami
El Primo Red Tacos is located at 179 E Flagler St in Miami, Florida. A short walk from where we stayed at the Hyatt Regency. 

​Check out the Hyatt Regency Miami Review Here
​
The pick-up window was between 9:30 and 9:45 pm. The restaurant was clearly empty by that point and you can see they offer plenty of seating both inside and outside. 
How much is a Margarita in Miami?
​
​Well, at El Primo Red Tacos they are serving $6 margaritas and cerveza (beer) all day, every day! 
​

what we got. 

We ordered 2x Surprise bags from El Primo Red Tacos at $5.99 each. Each container had 2 tacos, topped with cilantro and a fresh radish slice as well as some tortilla chips, salsa, and a lime wedge. 
Tacos at El Primo Red

We were also surprised to receive agua de horchata x 2!

Close up of taco at El Primo Red Miami

What we Thought. 

It had been such a long time since we had tacos period, that I was so happy to eat these tacos! Even after carrying them back to the hotel they were still so tasty.

​Small corn tortillas are my favorite and home made tortilla chips can't be beat! The tacos at El Primo Red Tacos are birria and the only problem that I had with them was I wanted more. lol ​
​

The Horchata was unbelievably tasty. Typically made with rice, flavored with cinnamon and sweetened with sugar, this horchata was refreshing and a nice balance to the savory tacos and spicy salsa. 

To pay $5.99 in Miami for 2 quality tacos, chips and salsa, and a drink was a great deal!

​I could have easily eaten more, but I was happy for the opportunity to try El Primo Red Tacos at a discount while in town and I wouldn't hesitate to return next time I'm in Miami!

Bitoque - A very typical portuguese dish at Cantinho da villa

10/7/2024

0 Comments

 
Cantinho da Villa is a very local Portuguese restaurant in Texugueiras - inland from Albufeira, between Ferreiras and Paderne. 

These local spots are just the best because they have classic Portuguese dishes, a lively buzz since everyone in the neighborhood stops by regularly, and you just feel part of the community when you're here. 
​

Portuguese Dish - Bitoque

This plate is a perfect rendition of a classic Portuguese dish - bitoque. You can have beef bitoque or pork bitoque and either way you're getting thin cuts of meat. When prepared properly they are very tender and flavorful. 
​
Picture
Comida Portuguesa - A Bitoque Dish Classically Presented

​As you can see the dish also comes with rice and French fries.
Why do Portuguese people eat rice and French fries in the same dish? you may ask. Isn't that double carbs? you add.

​Well, yes it is. But why do they do it? I suppose because it's delicious! :) 

Picture
Sweet roasted garlic and a perfectly fried egg top thin slices of tender meat - Bitoque at Cantinho da Villa

The addition of a small, simple salad is common here - green lettuce, sliced onion and tomato, and sometimes cucumbers. Oil (Portuguese olive oil, of course) and vinegar are on the table if you need a dressing. 

Please note the lovely pan sauce on this bitoque including whole roasted garlic cloves. This is the mark of a meal made with love. 
​
Picture
French Fries, Rice, and a Salad are classic sides in Portuguese Home Cooking

And one of the most beautiful details of this dish is that perfectly fried egg (ovo estrelado) . It takes real skill to get the edges crispy and brown while maintaining a perfectly dippy yolk as shown here. That runny yolk will combine with the pan sauce and add richness to the plain rice. It's so good you'll use your french fries to mop up the leftovers. :)

Boemia da Vila - Ferreiras

10/7/2024

0 Comments

 
Boema da Vila is located in the main roundabout of Ferreiras and is known for their hamburgers. But sometimes you just want a bifana, you know?

While the night-time lighting makes for a truly sub-par glow, we figured we would still share the two bifanas. ​
Remember, bifanas are sandwiches made of thinly sliced, marinated pork. We got one plain bifana (pork slices on a nice roll) and one with cheese and a side of batatas fritas (French fries). 

Very often in Portugal when you order French fries they will come with a side of garlicky mayonnaise (aioli) for you to dip the fries in.

Maloca da Tuttapanna is located in Quarteira, specifically the prestigious Vilamoura area, and describes their cuisine as Amazonian, Sushi Fusion, and European. 
​
Filed Under: Pizza in Portugal • Algarve Foodies 

​The restaurant has a nice aesthetic (I mean what's not to love about this golden monkey?!) so one day after a late shift at os carrinhos (the carts/trolleys) we decided to snag an outside table and try their pizza and sushi.

Random combo, I know.

Salmon, Rice, Sesame Seeds, Curry - despite looking so random, this sushi was delicious!

Crepes are quite popular around Portugal. In this case we were a bit underwhelmed by the crepe, particularly because the pineapple was canned. I would recommend skipping the pineapple option and choosing one of the many other crepe toppings. A plain crepe is €2.50.

Rei do Churrasco Quarteira

Rei do Churrasco is a classic Portuguese Churrasco (barbecue/grill restaurant) in Quarteira - a beach town in Southern Portugal's Algarve. 
​
Learn Portuguese: Rei do Churrasco means King of the Barbecue :)

PSA to Americans, note that when we are talking barbecue in this context, we are not talking about grilled meats lathered in thick sweet, spicy, tangy sauces, we are focused on the grilling cooking method.

Too good to go app - takeaway
​


​We used the food waste prevention app Too Good To Go to get takeaway frango piri-piri (portuguese style grilled chicken with spicy piri-piri peppers). 

TooGoodToGo is a great way to save money whether you live in Portugal or are traveling to Portugal (and elsewhere!) as restaurants will list their leftovers at a discounted rate. 
​


​2x frango piri piri lunch with fries - €4.99

• Round Aluminum Food Containers
​
Using the Too Good To Go App in Portugal, we got 2 servings of piri piri chicken and fries for about 5 euros. This was essentially a whole chicken and lots of fries! It was a great value and we enjoyed a nice walk from Vilamoura to pick up this lunch! 
​

Rei do Churrasco Review

A take-away review is rarely a full and fair review of a restaurant, but seeing as we enjoyed our takeaway, it's safe to say we would happily return to Rei do Churrasco in Quarteira - particularly to try their Madeiran specialities!
