About Tasco Nicolino
Lunch or dinner at Tasco Nicolino drops you into the kind of unhurried Portuguese eating that Guimarães Centro does better than most cities its size. The kitchen's reputation rests on its bacalhau — the bacalhau à brás is precisely cooked, and the grilled cod draws nearly as many mentions — with chargrilled octopus and sardines rounding out the dishes people keep coming back for, all in portions that earn the word abundant. The room is small and tucked into a narrow side street, which gives the whole place a quiet, enclosed feel. Rui, one of the servers, goes well beyond taking orders: he walks guests through the local vinho verde, fills them in on the city's history and hands out neighbourhood tips that no guidebook carries.
