- Portugal is a very rich country in many ways and gastronomy is undoubtedly one of them. Although we are a relatively small country, our cuisine is very diverse and each region has typical dishes that delight Portuguese and foreigners alike. Tasting this gastronomic diversity is an excellent way to get to know our country better. So come and discover with us 15 emblematic restaurants from the north to the south of the country (and the islands) that accept your Euroticket Refeição!
1 – Taberna Belga (Braga)
Although francesinha is closely linked to the city of Porto, Taberna Belga is also one of the best-known restaurants in the north of the country to try this typical dish from Porto. If you’re in Braga and love this delicacy, Taberna Belga is a must. Accompany your meal with one of the many beers on the menu.
2 – Capa Negra II (Porto)
And now, in Invicta, the Capa Negra II restaurant is proud to be one of the best restaurants to enjoy a francesinha. With a tradition of more than 40 years, this continues to be one of the main attractions of this restaurant, whose menu tells the story of the origin of this iconic dish.

5 – Batista do Bacalhau (Aveiro)
The name leaves no room for doubt. Batista do Bacalhau is considered a specialist in this fish that is the basis for so many famous dishes in Portuguese gastronomy. Roast cod with fried potatoes is the house dish, but you can always enjoy other options in this cozy and informal space.
6 – Casa Arouquesa (Viseu)

Located in Penhas da Saúde, the Varanda da Estrela restaurant combines gastronomy with the traditions and culture of our country. It is decorated with various artifacts linked to Serra da Estrela and the area’s herding activities. The menu includes various specialties such as cod, veal, kid, wild boar, among others.
8 – Leitão Monastery (Batalha)
Although it’s not located in the Bairrada region, Mosteiro do Leitão is, unsurprisingly, specialized in suckling pig. Roasted in a wood-fired oven, as tradition dictates, and produced in-house, the suckling pig is the delicacy that makes this restaurant a reference in the region.
9 – O Padeiro (Ponte de Sor)
O Padeiro is one of the most acclaimed restaurants in the area. With a rustic décor and a family atmosphere, this place offers several traditional Portuguese specialties, such as octopus à lagareiro, lamb stew or the famous migas to accompany it.
10 – Taberna do Quinzena (Santarém)
Taberna do Quinzena is the “cathedral” of typical Ribatejo food. With over 150 years of history, the restaurant’s menu consists of various traditional fish and meat dishes, one of which is the famous Portuguese stew.
11 – Galeto (Lisbon)
Galeto is a classic in the capital, opened in 1967. It is known for being the ideal place for after-hours meals, as it closes at 3:30 every day. It has various fish and meat dishes, but also quicker options such as toasts and soups.
12 – Portugália Av. Almirante Reis (Lisbon)
Cervejaria Portugália has more than 90 years of history and the space on Av. Almirante Reis was the first for this brand, which later expanded throughout the country. The restaurant is popular for its açorda de camarão (shrimp stew) and bacalhau (codfish), but the great specialty is, of course, the famous steak with Portugália-style sauce.
13 – Noélia and Jerónimo (Cabanas de Tavira)
Located right in front of the Ria Formosa, the Noélia e Jerónimo restaurant is dedicated to regional Algarve cuisine and is an obligatory stop in the eastern Algarve. The menu could only be made up of fresh, quality ingredients from the estuary and the sea, such as octopus, tuna, corvina and other fish and shellfish.
14 – Cris’s Place (Funchal, Madeira)
Ideal for a meal with family or friends, Cris’s Place is a restaurant that combines modern and rustic decor. The cuisine is characterized by international references and an author’s touch. But without giving up on Madeiran traditions and ingredients.
