Address: Praça Conde de Agrolongo 71, 4700-312 Braga
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.
The food court inside the renovated Mercado Municipal de Braga, with a dozen kiosks serving local producers and regional food. Bacalhau fritters.
Tip: Arrive at the market at 09:00 to buy fresh produce from the floor above and then descend to Mesa na Praça for a fresh fish lunch prepared with the morning.
