Cod with a Minho Twist: The weekend that brings flavour to Póvoa de Lanhoso

The “Sr. Bacalhau” Gastronomic Weekend, coming to Póvoa de Lanhoso on 16 and 17 May, is one of those celebrations that reminds us why Minho cuisine holds such a special place in the hearts of those who know it. For two days, the municipality becomes an open invitation to traditional flavours, with cod as the undisputed star, prepared in a thousand and one ways, always with that homely touch that only our region knows how to provide.

Anyone visiting Póvoa de Lanhoso this weekend will immediately sense the unique atmosphere: restaurants buzzing with life, aromas wafting through the streets, families and friends gathered around dishes that tell stories. “Sr. Bacalhau” is not just a gastronomic event; it is a celebration of our identity, of the cuisine passed down from generation to generation, and of the simple pleasure of sharing a good meal. From generous portions of roast cod to the traditional Minho-style cod, and the more creative versions that some restaurants like to present, there is always something to surprise and delight.

This event is also a way of recognising those who keep local cuisine alive. The restaurants in the municipality prepare special menus, designed to showcase the best of cod and Póvoa’s cuisine. It’s the perfect opportunity to rediscover flavours, support local businesses and experience Póvoa de Lanhoso in an authentic way, taking your time, at a leisurely pace and with a healthy appetite.
At e-póvoa market, we love everything that celebrates our region, and “Sr. Bacalhau” is exactly that: tradition, community and flavour. After a hearty lunch or a memorable dinner, there’s nothing better than continuing to explore what Póvoa de Lanhoso has to offer. If you’d like to take a piece of our identity home with you, whether through local crafts, Travassos filigree or products that reflect the soul of Minho, visit e-povoamarket.com and discover what we’ve prepared for you.

The “Sr. Bacalhau” Gastronomic Weekend is more than just an event; it is an experience that brings together the best of our cuisine, our culture and our hospitality. On 16 and 17 May, Póvoa de Lanhoso awaits you with a table set and an open heart. Find out more here.
