€12–€20Classic Porto-style baked codfish dish
What is it?
A traditional dish made with salted cod (bacalhau), sliced potatoes, onions, eggs, olives, and olive oil, all baked together to create a rich and comforting meal.
Why Locals Love It
It’s deeply tied to Porto’s identity and family cooking. Simple ingredients, but full of flavor and tradition, often associated with homemade meals.
Local Tip
Look for places with a daily menu (prato do dia). That’s often where you’ll find more authentic and better-balanced versions of the dish.
Be Aware!
Some restaurants may serve overly oily or poorly balanced versions, especially in very touristy areas, which can make the dish feel heavy and less authentic.
