A Cozinha do Manel

A Cozinha do Manel, in the Campanhã area, is a city classic and it remains in great shape. Critic Alfredo Lacerda can testify to that; he dined there in September and left delighted by the duck rice and the roast veal, “seasoned in the previous day to perfection”. But don't neglect the walls. At Cozinha do Manel, everything is traditional, and in typical Portuguese style you will find portraits of notable people hanging from the walls. Big names from all sports, jet-setters, prime-ministers... Everybody is there. They got their picture taken and they ate corn bread, which comes fresh everyday from Avintes, damp and tasty.
