Baan Saraiva’s NYE
Baan Saraiva’s, Lisbon’s best Thai restaurant by a pretty wide margin, is prepping a mouth-watering New Year’s menu for 70 Euros. Personally, I’d go for the Moo Yang and the Red Curry Duck, but the choice is yours! If you haven’t taken my advice and checked out this restaurant yet, I highly recommend using this festive season to cash in on the deal. You really can’t go wrong with the menu here.
A Tabanca - Petiscos Indianos
You have two days left to cash in on A Tabanca’s discount offer!
They also just dropped their Christmas menu. Here it is:
Nali Nihari: a slow-cooked, flavorful stew featuring tender lamb shanks. Traditionally savored in the mountains of northern India, we've chosen this dish for its heartwarming qualities that resonate perfectly with the Christmas theme. Share the joy of the holidays with family and friends as you indulge in this rich and aromatic stew, served alongside a side of warm bread.
Pani Puri: an iconic Indian street food sensation, these bite-sized, hollow puris are filled with a concoction of tamarind water, mint, spices, and a burst of flavors.
Koobideh Kebab Pockets:— handmade Iranian meatballs crafted from spiced lamb. Encased in a soft roti wrap with pickled onions and coriander sauce.
Lubio Pulao: a fragrant rice dish with green beans, soya mince, and Iranian Zereshk berries.
Cucumber Mint Raita : Finely chopped cucumbers and fresh mint leaves blended into a velvety yogurt base. Its crisp and soothing flavors perfectly complement the rich and aromatic dishes on our Christmas menu.

My Favorite Discovery of Last Week!
Since some of you probably don’t watch every single video I upload and would like more specific guided recommendations, I want to use this newsletter to spotlight my favorite recent discoveries.
If you’re looking for something a little out-of-the-box, I highly recommend checking out Ararate, a sensational Armenian restaurant that begs for a capital-L Large group! Go here with 6, 8, 10, 12 people. The plates are mouth-watering, big, and delicious. That isn’t to say you shouldn’t go as a party of two (you can still have a great evening here as a couple), but restaurants like this boast such a wide selection that you’d be remiss not to split the bill: Divide and conquer!
ImmigrantFilm’s movie of the week:
Since I’m a heavyweight cinephile, here’s my favorite film I watched last week.
With Academy season in full swing, it’s no surprise that I’d end up recommending a bevvy of Oscar-darlings. Alexander Payne, who had previously directed classics like Sideways and Election, is back this year with The Holdovers, possibly his best film since those movies first exploded on the scene. Not only is this a killer awards-entry, boasting sublime performances from Paul Giamatti and Da’Vine Joy Randolph, but it’s also a beautiful Christmas movie for the whole family that harkens back to classics like Scent of a Woman: A perfect watch for this festive season!

Looking for free alcohol before and after meals?
I recently started using Secret Tab (iPhone / Android) to cash in on two free drinks before going to my dinner rezys. I’ve found the app to be super convenient, and I like that it just picks my destination for me so I don’t always end up at the same bar. It’s also a cool social tool since it attracts a crowd of users to one joint every night!
