In restaurants you will always get bread, cheese, butter and olives without being asked. This will cost extra. As starter there is a soup usual and as main course grilled fish or grilled meat with rice or chips. Portuguese people often eat grilled stuff or stew. The meals are mostly simple.
If you're in small villages while they have festivities, you might get free food distributed by the organization. The food normally consists of grilled sardines (yummy!), bread and wine (loads of it). You can find those events mainly in summer time in places like Azambuja (Feira de Maio), Vila Franca de Xira (Colete Encharnado) or Benavente (Festas da Amizade). You can check [http://festabravanoribatejo.blogspot.pt this website] to find these events (not all of them include free food though). In summer 2015 [[User:EliasExplores|EliasExplores]] traveled to many of these festivities and documented it with his camera. You can his videos on [https://www.youtube.com/FictionSource Youtube].
