The name means 'cod worship'. It sits on the upper gallery of Bolhão market and gathers salt-cod recipes from all over Portugal, with cod creeping into the desserts too. The Michelin Guide lists it as a place to eat like a local. Reviews keep praising the bacalhau à Zé do Pipo, cod over mashed potato, and the octopus salad, and staff who happily walk you through the menu. Do the market first, then walk upstairs.
