In Penafiel, the most typical dishes are the kid, the portuguese stew, the fried or the pickling brine shad and the lamprey, all accompanied with the excellent wine of the region.

However, the original confectionery of Penafiel is well represented by its “sopa seca” (dry soup) and the pies of S. Martinho, which are much appreciated by visitors and tourists. Come, and feel Penafiel and its flavours.
