My wife and I are flying to Porto and then after a few days there taking a train to Lisbon for several days in that great city. Does anyone have any recommendations for bread bakeries in either location?
But one bread springs to mind and you should definitely put it on your list of foods to try... Broa de Milho - Portuguese Corn Bread. A traditional cornmeal sourdough often with added rye.
We are also going to Porto end of this month for a few days, so also curious about this!
Ilya, you will hear what I find. Where are you staying?
Thank you, looking forward to your reviews! We are staying in the city center on Rua do Conde de Vizela.

Abe, that will be on my list to look out for. Sounds like a nice bread.
My wife and I are in Porto, and we found a great place for bread (along with a nice pastry and coffee). Here is a loaf of Broa.
Here is the place to visit.
Here is the crumb, and I can taste the cornmeal.
