Portuguese cuisine is simple, fresh, and full of flavor. Don’t miss bacalhau (salted cod, cooked in countless ways), grilled sardines, and cataplana de marisco (seafood stew). And of course, try the famous pastel de nata, the creamy custard tart found in every café. In Porto, taste the hearty francesinha sandwich, and along the Algarve coast, enjoy freshly caught fish and seafood. Many restaurants also offer wine tastings featuring Vinho Verde and Port wine, two of Portugal’s most iconic styles.
