Nelson dos Leitões is a restaurant located in the Mercado do Bolhão, offering a delightful dining experience. The pizza is divine, well-filled, and affordably priced. The star dish, however, is the magnificent and authentic suckling pig (leitão) from the Bairrada region, cooked to perfection in clay ovens and over a wood fire, delivering a 100% Portuguese delight. Guests can enjoy the roast suckling pig as a main course or in a sandwich, with many noting it is very tasty and delicious. The sauce served with the sandwich is unique and has received special praise. The restaurant boasts excellent service, with staff described as very nice, and wheelchair accessibility, making it a must-visit for those exploring the refurbished historic market in the heart of Porto. It is cash only and is considered a hidden gem worth discovering.
