The closest Braga gets to a modern street-food brunch format: Meze's open counter facing the Campo da Vinha square serves egg dishes, grain bowls and fresh.
Tip: The takeaway acai bowl is the best walk-in option when all the indoor seats are taken at weekend brunch.
The city's dedicated pão de queijo bakery, producing the warm tapioca-and-cheese rolls that have become standard in Portuguese cafes with Brazilian influence.
Tip: Three warm pão de queijo cost under €3. The caldo verde at 12:30 is the lunch substitute for those who want hot food quickly.
The counter inside A Brasileira serves Portuguese quick-service snacks alongside coffee: caldo verde, pasteis de bacalhau and tosta mista at low prices.
Tip: A pastel de bacalhau and a bica at the counter costs under €3 and takes five minutes. The fastest quality snack stop on Largo do Barão de São Martinho.
Braga's supreme street-food experience. The frigideira is a fried pastry pocket of custard egg cream, unique to the Minho and produced here continuously.
Tip: The queue at weekends is real but fast-moving. Come with exact change and eat immediately on the steps for the optimal temperature.
Braga Loves Bifana: the name of this 2015 project by three friends captures the premise. The bifana here is pork loin marinated in spiced wine sauce.
Tip: The spicy sauce version of the bifana is the house recommendation. Ask for extra sauce in a small cup for dipping the roll.
The flagship walk-up counter for the city's namesake conventual pastry. Fluted fried-dough shells filled to order with the traditional cream or modern fills.
Tip: The traditional cream tíbia is the canonical version. Order one cream and one hazelnut praline so the pastries arrive together while both are at their crispest.
