Portuguese food (Portugal)

Portugal’s bakery and seafood culture is strong; francesinha is often pork-heavy and Haram; bacalhau is fish but sauce-conditional; pastéis de nata are usually Halal pastry.

• Enjoy pastéis de nata and plain bacalhau when sauces are clear
• Treat francesinha as pork unless proven otherwise
• Ask about chorizo in caldo verde
