About Mercado do Bolhão

Porto's 1914 Neo-Renaissance iron-and-stone covered market, beautifully restored and returned to its original glory — fishmongers, butchers, cheesemakers, and flower sellers in a soaring two-level arcade. The most beautiful market building in Portugal.

Cantinho do Avillez Porto

Taberna dos Mercadores

The best traditional Portuguese restaurant in the Ribeira — a narrow stone-walled tavern with small tables, a chalkboard menu, and cooking that celebrates cod, pork, and Portuguese wine with genuine skill and no pretension. The bacalhau à brás and the baked goat rice are both extraordinary.
