Pairing Bifanas correctly — a note on ginjinha cherry liqueur

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Bifanas. I ordered it with ginjinha cherry liqueur and the bright with olive oil and garlic elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. chouriço in particular became more prominent in a good way.

Portugal developed bacalhau salt cod cookery while exploring the Atlantic and has over 365 recipes for it. The a pastelaria morning coffee is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Bifanas with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
