Anjo Verde
Braga, Portugal
The read// why locals go
Anjo Verde is Braga's pioneering vegetarian restaurant, cooking Portuguese food without meat on the Largo da Praça Velha. In a region built on pork and salt cod that was an unusual position to take, and the kitchen has held it by translating Portuguese dishes rather than importing an international vegetarian menu. The set lunch runs around €9 and tends to sell out. Allergen requests are handled properly rather than grudgingly, which is rarer here than it should be. The room draws a younger crowd, university staff and families in the same sitting — one of the few places in northern Portugal doing this seriously enough to travel for.
