Porto Questions- Serralves and food

I loved the look of Serralves in Porto. Some parts of their website do not translate to English. Am I correct in assuming that the treetop walk is given Engish? The sculptures look great too.

Also, I looked at Congo for a quick bite. Any other suggestions for something on the quick side, but less focused on pork? Or does Congo serve beef or chicken? I'm thinking of food on the caliber of what we might have at Pret a Manger or Panera here in the US. Thanks!

Look for the Pingo Doce markets. They have a "deli" counter where you can get meals to go and fresh packaged entrees. I usually stay north of the city in Matosinhos and use the one there often. You can easily eat for less than 20 Euro/day.

Excellent tip on the Pingo Doce. I became a bit concerned about Serralves in Porto given that a reviewer said she had to almost walk through a crack house to get there and various people were underwhelmed. I guess I wouldn't have to worry about crowd control. That's a joke.
