# Our 3 Favourite Portuguese Dishes

Portuguese cuisine is simple, honest, and surprisingly flavorful. From fish dishes to hearty stews, each region has its own specialties. But these three classics are not to be missed when you're in Portugal.

1. **Bacalhau à Brás – comfort food with cod**  
   Portugal and bacalhau (salted cod) are inextricably linked. There are said to be more than 365 ways to prepare it! Bacalhau à Brás is one of the most popular: a creamy mixture of cod, chopped onion, wafer-thin fries, and egg. Often served with black olives and parsley, simple, but so delicious.
2. **Cataplana de Marisco – seafood feast in a pan**  
   This rich stew of shellfish and crustaceans, cooked in a traditional copper ‘cataplana’, is Algarvian The flavors of mussels, shrimp, and sometimes lobster are enhanced with tomato, garlic, onion, and white wine. The result? A fragrant, steaming pan full of southern flavors, perfect with fresh bread to dip in the sauce.
3. **Pastel de Nata – sweet delight**  
   No visit to Portugal is complete without a freshly baked pastel de nata. This small puff pastry, filled with creamy custard and lightly caramelised on top, is irresistible. Order one with an espresso and eat it while it's still warm, if possible, pure happiness in one bite.

Bon appétit, or as the Portuguese say: bom apetite!

Whether you prefer savoury or sweet, Portuguese cuisine always has something surprising to offer. So taste, enjoy and discover – with every meal you get to know the country a little better.
