About Bacalhau & Afins
Cod done right is rarer than it sounds, and Bacalhau & Afins is where Aveiro centro goes to prove the point. The kitchen puts bacalhau at the centre of everything: bacalhau com natas, cod rice, seafood rice and bacalhau à Lagareiro are the dishes that keep coming up, and the portions are the kind that make you reconsider dessert. The room is warm and welcoming — reviewers use the word "acolhedor" and mean it. Oscar, the waiter people name by name, steers the table through the menu, offers wine pairings that match each course, and throws in tourist tips without being asked. Gluten-free options are handled with the same care as the rest of the menu. The clientele crosses half of Europe to eat here, and a fair few come back.
In the last 90 days, Bacalhau & Afins has drawn 14 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
