Typical Dishes of the Region

Authentic flavors that tell the story of our land

Goat Chanfana

Speciality

This traditional dish from the region is a symbol of Beira Litoral cuisine, where goat chanfana holds a prominent place on the council's tables. Prepared slowly in a wood-fired oven, the goat meat is cooked in black clay pots with red wine, garlic, bay leaf, and a touch of piri-piri, resulting in a tender and flavor-rich delicacy. Its preparation is deeply linked to the rural practices and popular wisdom of the council, being a dish for celebration and conviviality, ideal for sharing and celebrating local gastronomic tradition.

Condeixa Snowflakes

Speciality

Condeixa Snowflakes are an emblematic conventual sweet from this council, whose recipe remains a well-kept secret over generations. With a delicate and whitish appearance, similar to snow (hence the name), they are made from egg whites, sugar, and almonds, creating a light texture and a soft sweetness that makes them unique. Their origin dates back to local convents, reflecting the richness of traditional Portuguese confectionery and the mastery of its people in the art of making conventual sweets.
