Sautéed shrimp was decent - fresh enough, with a bit of a kick in the orange garlic sauce; basically a spin on gambas al ajillo. There were 8 prawns which weren't small. Creamy cod was like fish pie. It was decent. It was not creamy in the sense of having sauce; it was not very creamy or rich. There were some fish bones in the pie. Not very creamy or rich. The staff said creamy cod  was "not so typical" & cod loin was "more typical" (i.e. cod loin was more traditional and a better choice).

It is a round beef pie (encased in a flaky puff pastry) that originated in Braga. This place is the oldest cafe that sells them (since 1796). Even more fascinating is that if you look down at the floor, there are clear tiles showing ancient ruins underneath. Such a neat little place. We ordered the iconic frigideira. It was warmed up and wrapped in paper neatly. The pie had lattice lines across the top. Inside was well-seasoned meat (not too fatty, not grisly at all) encased by a buttery, almost croissant-like round shell pastry. Other sweets and breads are sold in the case, as well as hot and cold beverages. A great place for a break or light meal.

The restaurant is said to have been serving them since 1796! The standard frigideira consists of a pastry shell with minced meat. Other varieties are available. I ordered a Frigideira mista, one with cheese and ham added. It made for a perfect lunch! The restaurant also serves other Portuguese dishes. The ruins of a Roman house discovered under the restaurant can be seen through glass in the floor. Definitely recommended when visiting Braga.

This is actually a complex of two restaurants, Papaboa and Historico by Papaboa. Historico, where we ate, featured a great value business lunch (these are fantastic all around Portugal) and we got to try some soup, stewed chicken and black beans, remnant, of course, of feijoada. The courses came fast, but we lingered and did not feel rushed. They bizarrely insisted we eat inside (where it got pretty loud) on a gorgeous day, but I guess they reserve the outdoor area for dinner.
