Eating 10 Common Foods in Porto, Portugal in Under 8 Hours! (Traveling Portugal with Kids)

Yes, we now know that was NOT caldo verde and we know pasteis de bacalhau isn’t a breakfast food. We love portugal, made this video for FUN, and aren’t claiming to be culinary experts!

During our 3-month stay in Portugal, we stayed in the city of Porto for just over a month. While there, we polled residents of Porto to find what they considered common foods of Porto. We ended up with a list of about 15 items. We chose 10. Please enjoy the video, and forgive our terrible pronunciation of Portuguese words. We’re trying!

  1. I would advise you next time to take more time to research what are the actually 10 common foods in Porto, and know what the actual food is so you don't call caldo verde to a soup that is not caldo verde, and have pastéis de bacalhau for breakfast… Because if you trying to show some food culture from a place and put a title on the video like the one you choose to put it, kinds gets a little disrespectful in a way that it shows how little effort you put to make a video that is supposed to show 10 Common foods in Porto… And I promise you would also have a better Time trying the food and actually getting a much better quality food.
    PS: I am not a hater! Just sharing my immediate thought when I saw the video after reading the title. I was expecting a completely different content

  2. Pastel de bacalhau varies a lot in quality. Generally speaking the best ate home cooked, and should be smaller than the One you had, formed with two forks (so to have a rough texture) deep fried and rested on absorbent tissue for a couple of minutes to soak the excesso oil. You should eat them still warm while the deep fried skin is still crackling. Also the ratio of cod to potatoes should be right as it should be fluffy inside and not mushy. Once you have a real one you'll never forget it.

    Ps. Avoid the cheese filled ones, these are tourist trap concoctions…

  3. My friend where u born u only know about stue steaks bbq nd fast food generally speaking.. Portuguese gastronomy is influenced by world cuisine also the world cuisine is influenced by Portuguese gastronomy… search about

  4. Lov and really enjoyed your video!! Your boys are adorable!! I'm going to Porto with 3 girlfriends in August! Can't wait to try all the foods you've had!

  5. Hehe. Some hint: If you want more sauce for the francesinha ou cachorro gazela, you can ask the waiter and they can bring for free (note in other restaurants more tourist oriented they can charge – the famous tourist traps) 🙂
    For fresh pastel de nata go to the "Manteigueira" or "World needs Nata". For profiterol go to "A Leiteira".

  6. you didnt try the one typical Porto’s dish: Tripas!
    and that is NOT caldo verde!
    and pastel de bacalhau and bola de Berlim are not typical from Porto.

    Glad you enjoyed, nice family!

  7. I'm not a fan of pastéis de bacalhau. One of the problems is that they vary a lot in quality. At their best they are ok, when they are bad they are really bad (mostly because the cheapest versions have lots of dough and almost no cod, or use very low quality cod – as the cod is mixed in with the dough non-homemade pastéis de bacalhau tend to cheat on the cod…). I do concede that if you cook them with the correct proportion of dough vs cod and use high quality cod they can be tasty. Bolas de Berlim, on the other hand tend to be almost the same wherever you buy them.
