Manjar dos LeitõesManjar dos Leitões

Who said you can't enjoy a proper Bairrada-style suckling pig in Póvoa de Varzim, just like the ones served in central Portugal? At this establishment, right by National Road 13, you can enjoy the traditional leitão, here called Leitão assado a manjar, suckling pig roast, with crisp skin, wafer-thin chips, a generous salad and a flavoursome leitão sauce. And it would be impossible not to mention the other specialities that round out the menu, such as Bife de vazio à brasa, grilled bavette steak; the classic Bacalhau à lagareiro, salt cod with olive oil and garlic; Arroz de pato à antiga, old-style duck rice; or the robust Feijoada de Leitão, a hearty suckling-pig bean stew. The venue offers spacious, light-filled dining rooms with restrained décor and contemporary touches, plus a well-stocked wine cellar to accompany the treats. You can also order the suckling pig to take away!
