Porto

Lamb

The flavour is reminiscent of childhood memories, but the dish is a mixture of tradition and contemporaneity. The lamb is served with peas, cheese (Terrincho PDO), spices, organic vegetables and a sauce with the right intensity. The sophistication of the dish
and the excellence of the products used earned it to be chosen one of the 7 Wonders of New Gastronomy. The location is exquisite and has a Michelin Star. This is a gastronomic experience where there are no forbidden pleasures.

Doce de São Gonçalo

With connections to the city’s past, connections to blessed São Gonçalo and the cult of fertility, this is how the phallic sweet of São Gonçalo is presented.

However, you can find it all year round in almost all cafes and patisseries in the old town of Amarante.
