Porto Food Guide: 15 Must-Eat Restaurants in Porto, Portugal

Porto was our gateway into Portugal. It was our introduction to Portuguese culture and served as our primer on Portuguese food.

Before arriving in Porto, we had little experience with Portuguese food except for what we’d seen in travel food shows. I knew the Portuguese ate a lot of seafood, especially bacalhau or salted cod, and were the inventors of those delicious eggy custard tarts known as pastel de nata. We looked forward to enjoying both as often as we could along with other delicacies like francesinha, prego, and tripe stew.

As always, I did a lot of research before our trip and asked our AirBnB host for local recommendations to come up with this list of fifteen restaurants to try in Porto.

Bom apetite!
