Naturally Gluten-Free Bacalhau Lunch in Alfama, Lisbon
Lisbon, Portugal
About This Activity
Portuguese cuisine is naturally rich in gluten-free dishes. Bacalhau à brás (salt cod with eggs and potatoes), grilled fresh fish, açorda (bread soup — request without bread for a GF version), cataplana seafood stew, and pastéis de nata (egg custard tarts) are all wheat-free. In Alfama, tascas like A Baiuca and Tasca do Chico prepare these dishes simply and accommodate GF requests. A traditional two-course lunch with house wine costs €15–22 per person — some of the best-value dining in Lisbon.
