More markets in Braga
Mercado São João ★ 4.6

Mesa na Praça ★ 4.2
The food court inside the renovated Mercado Municipal, with a dozen kiosks promoting local producers and regional food concepts. Bacalhau preparations.

Docaria São Vicente ★ 4.5
Founded in 1829, the oldest food specialist in Braga sells conventual sweets unavailable elsewhere: moletinhos, fidalguinhos and massapães made to order.

Mercado Biológico de Braga ★ 4.1
Braga's weekly organic farmers market occupies Praça do Bocage on Saturday mornings, with producers from the Minho region bringing certified organic.
Tip: The organic market is for direct-from-farm buying; prices are higher than the municipal market but the traceability is total.

The pastry counter at Frigideiras do Cantinho is the best address for Braga's rarest conventual sweets: frigideiras, tíbias and sameirinhos since 1796.
Tip: Frigideiras do Cantinho packages gift boxes of mixed pastry for taking home or as gifts. A box of 12 mixed pieces makes an excellent regional gift.
