Decent Bacalhau — nothing more, nothing less

Bacalhau at this place was fine. The bright with olive oil and garlic flavour was there but not distinguished. piri piri was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

Portugal developed bacalhau salt cod cookery while exploring the Atlantic and has over 365 recipes for it. The a pastelaria morning coffee setting was generic rather than immersive. Vinho Verde was offered but not explained. If you're in the area and want Bacalhau it'll do. If you're going out of your way, look elsewhere.
