MAFALDA’S

Eater rec for brunch & lunch.  Best for: Saturdays are all about brunch, with standout eggs, toasts, and pancakes. After browsing the colorful stalls of vegetables, meats, and live poultry at the charming and historic Matosinhos Market, head to Mafalda’s, where they offer a rotating weekday lunch menu tailored to a market-savvy clientele. There’s always soup — a beloved tradition in Porto — to warm you up before the daily specials, which range from pasta to chicken curry. For those looking for a lighter lunch, there are also hearty toasts, like smoked salmon with homemade cream cheese or hummus with sauteed mushrooms.
