Portugal\u2019s cuisine is as rich and varied as its landscape.<\/strong><\/p>

The most distinctive feature of Portuguese cuisine comes from the\u00a0sea<\/strong>. As you enjoy a simple\u00a0grilled fish<\/strong>, always fresh like the\u00a0seafood<\/strong>\u00a0that abounds from end to end along the coast, you can be sure that you are in Portugal! Cataplanas, bouillabaisses and any other fish or seafood dish are also excellent choices.<\/p>

For\u00a0meat dishes<\/strong>, our main suggestion is cozido \u00e0 portuguesa, a mix of meats, vegetables and various sausages, cooked in a delicious way. We have excellent DOP (Protected Denomination of Origin) meats, from north to south, whether it\u2019s beef, pork or kid. Many\u00a0vegetables and fruit<\/strong>\u00a0also preserve the taste of the old times, and some also have the DOP label, especially as many are produced organically.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Portuguese olive oil<\/strong>\u00a0is of prime quality and is part of every dish, including cod (for which it is said that there are 1001 recipes!), which we excel at preparing and enjoying.<\/p>

Each dish is matched to the right\u00a0wine<\/strong>. The whole country produces wine and, while Port wine is famous, the Douro, Alentejo and many other table wines are no less superior.<\/p>

And the\u00a0cheeses<\/strong>! While Queijo da Serra (mountain cheese from Serra da Estrela) tops the bill, all the cheeses from Centro de Portugal, Alentejo and the Azores are delicious.<\/p>

The\u00a0sweets<\/strong>, whose roots go back to the many convents where they were originally prepared, even today make us \u201cgive thanks to heaven\u201d. And a pastel de nata (custard tart) is a must. It is delicious with coffee, which we drink in the form of espresso.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

At the end of a meal, we might make a toast with some\u00a0Port<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Madeira<\/strong>, fortified wines that have been spreading our name to faraway lands for centuries. Or with an excellent sparkling wine produced in Portugal, to celebrate a memorable meal provided by the country\u2019s talented chefs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
