Experience the region’s cuisine

On your trip to the Centre of Portugal, taste the best that comes from the sea and the mountains. Among the meat dishes, suckling pig from Bairrada, roasted lamb from Castelo Branco, or even the characteristic greaves from Serra da Estrela are the main highlights in this gastronomic discovery. If you prefer fish, accept the invitation from the Oeste region and taste typical dishes, such as stew, grilled fish, or fish soup. In the Ria de Aveiro, the obligatory delicacy is the Bordeaux-style lamprey.

Cheese has a prominent place in the gastronomy of the region, with special emphasis on the cheese from Serra da Estrela mountain range , the oldest and most recognized national cheese, but also not forgetting the cheese from Rabaçal, the yellow cheese from Beira Baixa or the olive oil cheeses from the Saloia region.

And to warm up and cheer body and mind, take with you Lourinhã brandy or honey from Serra da Lousã, which makes every moment an excellent occasion to celebrate life!
