Almada’s typical cuisine is greatly influenced by the sea, but also includes traditional recipes from several other Portuguese regions, brought along by the migrants who moved to the council.
The main gastronomic events are the “Caldeiradas das Festas da Costa da Caparica”, the Gastronomy Contest, the Fair of the “Alma Alentejana”, in June, and the “Cacilhas Gastronomic Fair”.
Traditional local dishes include “Caldeirada”(fish stew),
“Ameijoas á Bulhão Pato”(cockles),
“Claudinos”, are an exquisite local pastry that should not be passed by.
