Taberna Belga
Braga, Portugal
The read// why locals go
Taberna Belga runs Portuguese and Belgian cooking side by side in central Braga, and the combination holds together better than it has any right to. The bridge is mussels, steamed in Minho white wine rather than Belgian beer, which turns a Brussels standard into something local. Beer and Portuguese wine share the list without competing. The room is relaxed, with tables outside on Rua Dom Frei Caetano Brandão, and the crowd skews to university students and young professionals who treat it as a regular rather than an occasion. Mains around €20. An odd premise, executed with enough conviction that Braga stopped finding it odd.
