Casa Portuguesa do Pastel de Bacalhau — Restaurant in Porto

I couldn't agree more with your desire to try new foods when traveling, and the Pastel de Bacalhau at Casa Portuguesa in Porto is definitely a dish that should be on every foodie's list.

Located near the iconic Clerigos Tower, Casa Portuguesa offers a true taste of Portugal with their Pastel de Bacalhau paired with Porto wine. The pastry itself is perfectly crisp and flaky, while the filling is packed with the savory flavors of salt cod, potatoes, onions, and parsley.

What's truly remarkable about this dish is the balance of flavors. The saltiness of the cod is perfectly offset by the potatoes and onions, while the parsley adds a fresh burst of flavor that ties everything together. And let's not forget about the wine - the Porto wine served at Casa Portuguesa is a perfect match for the Pastel de Bacalhau, enhancing its rich and complex flavors.

The staff at Casa Portuguesa is friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the overall experience of dining at this charming little shop. Whether you're a seasoned foodie or simply looking to try something new, the Pastel de Bacalhau at Casa Portuguesa is a must-try dish that won't disappoint. I highly recommend giving it a try on your next...

We found it! We weren't looking for it but it was on our list of places to try. While we were bumbling along it came to the point we decided we'd sit somewhere and have a refreshment break. As we looked around the seats outside and the establishments I was pleased to realise where we were. We ordered The Portuguese Experience which is one Pastel de Bacalhau each and a glass of port served in their branded board. The glass and board are ours to keep. The little Pastels were very good, ousing with cheese, not too hot and very tasty. It's a good spot to watch the world go by, and the tram do it's turn around. The driver takes his seat et al from what was the front to the back, flips all the seats to face the opposite direction, jumps out and relocates the electric wire from front to back. Now it's ready to go again. At 4pm the clock chimed at the Torre dos Clerigos by Pastel de Bacalhaus and the 49 bells chimed Ode to Joy for a good 10 minutes, 30th January sat in the warm afternoon sun, it...

Pleasantly surprised when we stumbled upon this little place. We payed €25 for 2x cod cakes and 2x white port wine, and we got to keep the glasses as a souvenir, which had todays date printed on the side, and the restaraunts logo on the other.

The cod cakes were delicious, a mixture of fresh cod, potato and sheep cheese lightly fried, and weren't left with a greasy finish.

You can watch the ladies make them fresh in the viewing window at the front of the store. -we didn't feel that it was mass produced like some other reviewers have stated.

The wine accompanied it perfectly, but much like a dessert wine, but didn't over do it.

The staff were super friendly, and spoke English fluently, which helped us loads considering we cannot speak any Portuguese.

We ate upstairs and enjoyed the theatrical feel and music.

Whilst expensive, it was worth the stop in for our momentos and a taste of the...
