Wednesday, April 30: Lunch at Old Lisbon

Old Lisbon Aventura, Miami’s go-to for authentic Portuguese cuisine, has officially launched its new weekday lunch menu—available Monday through Friday from noon to 2 p.m. Think grilled Portuguese sardines with a side of ocean breeze, bacalhau à gomes de sá (shredded codfish) layered with flavor, and rich paelha à marinheira (seafood rice) packed with shrimp, clams, mussels, and more. Craving something hearty? The sautéed pork loin with pickles and crispy potatoes or the tender chicken with savory mushroom sauce has your name on it.

Each entrée includes a daily soup or house salad, because Old Lisbon believes lunch should feel like a little celebration. Pro tip: Pair it with a glass of house wine from Portugal’s famed Douro Valley, and something tells us Old Lisbon will become your new lunch go-to.

Old Lisbon is located at 2960 NE 199th St, Unit 5, Aventura, FL 33180. For more information, visit their official website.

Thursday, May 1: National Salad Day at Graziano’s

We won’t be surprised if you call us crazy for recommending an Argentine steakhouse for National Salad Day, but hear us out: At Graziano’s, even National Salad Day comes with serious swag. If you check out the del huerto section of the menu, you’ll find an incredible array of herbs and veggies fresh from the garden paired with proteins that pack a punch. 

The ensalada de carnicero (butcher’s salad) is exactly what it sounds like, giving a nod to the eatery’s asado roots. This creation comes packed with sopresata, romaine, semi-dry tomatoes, pepperoncini, cannellini beans, kalamata olives, red onions, and shaved provolone for that extra umami kick. If you’re looking for something meat-free to pair with your steak, go with the ensalada de hinojo, a sublime pairing of fennel, green fava, and shaved pecorino cheese. This National Salad Day, celebrate the beauty of greens done right—elevated, elegant, and just a little bit indulgent. 

Friday, May 2: World Tuna Day at the Lobster Shack

Celebrate World Tuna Day the right way—barefoot, beachside, and feasting at The Lobster Shack. This local favorite may be known for its lobster rolls, but their seared tuna is a total sleeper hit.

Think buttery slices of seared tuna layered over crisp seaweed salad with a hint of sesame soy, or paired with creamy avocado for a loaded salad. For something handheld, the seared tuna taco brings all the fresh, bold flavors you didn’t know you needed. Add a chilled glass of bubbles, kick back, and let The Shack’s laid-back magic take over.
