Óbidos is a delight for food lovers, offering a rich variety of local flavors deeply rooted in Portuguese culinary tradition. Start your culinary journey with caldeirada, a hearty fish stew made with fresh, locally caught seafood, or try sopa de pedra, a flavorful, rustic stone soup made with beans, meats, and vegetables — perfect for warming up on a cool day.

For a truly iconic treat, you can't leave Óbidos without trying its ginjinha — a sweet cherry liqueur that is the town's specialty. Traditionally served in a small chocolate cup, it’s a local favorite and a must-try for visitors. The travesseiros, a sweet puff pastry filled with almond cream, is another irresistible dessert that will leave your taste buds wanting more.

In the local taverns and restaurants, you’ll also find bacalhau (salted codfish), a staple of Portuguese cuisine, served in various delicious ways, often with potatoes and olives. Pair these dishes with a glass of Vinho Verde, the refreshing and slightly sparkling wine from the nearby Minho region, to complete the perfect Óbidos meal.

With its rich history and local flavors, Óbidos invites you to indulge in its unique food scene, where every dish tells a story of tradition and the land.
