What to eat and drink in Setúbal
Choco frito is the dish. Moscatel is the wine. The market is the starting point. Each page below is a short note with where to go.
Choco frito (fried cuttlefish)
The city's signature dish. Casa Santiago (the choco 'cathedral') and O Farol, both downtown.
Moscatel de Setúbal
The region's fortified sweet wine. Taste and buy at José Maria da Fonseca, in Azeitão (10 km).
Queijadas de Azeitão
Small cheese tarts with cinnamon and lemon. Queijadas Oliveira in Azeitão has been making them for over a century.
Lunch at Livramento Market
Stalls inside the market cook the fish you just saw. Simple, cheap, fresh.
Grilled fish on Av. Luísa Todi
Dozens of tascas lined up past the market. Sardines, sea bream, grilled horse mackerel.
