Next to the Arco da Porta Nova gateway into the historic centre, Tíbias de Braga is the specialist shop for the city's most signature conventual sweet.

The first Manteigaria factory in Minho, opened August 2024 on Avenida da Liberdade. Open daily 08:00-21:00. At Avenida da Liberdade 712. Booking recommended.
