Braga's street eating is built on bakery counters and the renovated market rather than food trucks. The supreme bite is the frigideira, the fried egg-custard pastry sold from Frigideiras do Cantinho on Largo de São João do Souto, while BLB Bifanaria in Maximinos makes a year-round event of the festival bifana. The Mesa na Praça food court inside the Mercado Municipal de Braga at Praça do Comércio and the namesake tíbias from Tíbias de Braga round out the walk-up options.
