Must Eat Portuguese Food | Top 10 Best Local Foods To Try In Porto, Portugal!

The wine "chouriço" is really made with wine. And dis you know that indian "vindaloo" is an adaptation of a Portuguese dish, "carne (meat, once again) em vinha de alhos", that is, marinated in red wine and garlic, and a few other condiments and herbs?

[@isabelserrano6018]

Portuguese soup, does not have chicken stock as a base unless it chicken soup(canja). Water and Ollive oil is the bases of our soup. Check-in authentic portuguese recipes for this.

[@dom1664]

Actually they do use stock cubes. Stop treating Portugal like they are living in the dark ages

[@joaoaurelio1534]

Esactamente , isto è completamente errado. Como em muitas gastronomias nós usamos muitas vezes caldo de carne ou galinha, ou vegetais. Principalmente uma sopa entulho, da pedra etc fortes são muito melhores com um bom caldo ao invés de água. Se não se usam é preguiça, mas o dadinho usam todos. Uma especie de vergonha e mistério sempre a volta o cubo mágico.

By thexway my wife is Portuguese

[@Snitram19]

@@dom1664 Ah yes, your wife is Portuguese, so you must know everything about Portugal. I' portuguese myself and I don't use stock cubes, I must live in the dark ages apparently, like most of the Portuguese population since few people actually use stock cubes. But What do I know, I'm not the one with a portuguese wife, so I must not know much about Portugal.

Well done! But you missed Pernil (Pur-neel) Sandwich in casa Guedes, Praça dos Poveiros. Also, in the same place, Queijo (Kay-ju) da Serra Sandwich. Best bifana is in front of Campanhã train station in a place called Astro. If you are short on money you can ask for just a sauce sandwich. In Porto you must also try Filetes de Polvo (octopus) in a restaurant called Aleixo with the octopus rice, also near Campanhã and, last, but not the least: tripes... Ando go to Mercearia das Flores in rua das Flores to take a look (and taste) at Portugal's best produces. Enjoy

[@TravelBeans]

Thank you! and thank you so much for these recommendations! Really appreciate it!

[@joaogoncalves3422]

to be honest i don't recomend Casa Guedes anymore, they've got a new ownership and the pernil they serve is dry. Is not the same anymore :'c

[@FilipePT25]

Lets agree to disagree . It all depends on the tastes . Everyone has diferent tastes . I personally ate both of the Astro and Congo Bifanas , and for me , Congo´s until now has the best Bifana of Porto .

[@eacreal]

@@FilipePT25 João, you are right. Last time I went to Casa Guedes it was not the same. I assumed it was an accident. Filipe, you are probably right also, but I saw in Astro a unique "sande de molho". A sandwich with only sauce. I don't know if Congo do the same. But, next time in Porto I will go there, sure.

That's what I came here to say!! How dare you say Caldo Verde has chicken stock?! Also, Caldo Verde without chouriço is just a normal, bland soup - if you're vegan or vegetarian just pick something else!

[@iamabitterperson]

Knorr/Maggi. A lot of restaurants love it and they put on everything, even soup. It might have chicken broth and it might have chouriço on the pot. Even if people order without chouriço, doesn't mean is chouriço free. Some restaurants do that, some restaurants don't do that. I have seen it.

[@patricianeiva2247]

It's a pity that you aren't seafood fans - one of the best traditional places I could recommend is Casa do Pescador, in Afurada, Vila Nova de Gaia. Hearty, home cooking and as traditional as it gets.

I've had a right old trip down memory lane watching this - so sad that another school promoted her 😔 I'm been umming and aaahing whether to suggest this - it comes from a loving and caring place... but have you thought about filming the food tastings across several days so you don't stuff yourself so much all on one day.
