AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
At Mercado do Bolhão, the cheese plate earns singular praise for its rustic, artisanal depth. The overall vibe is warm, communal, and authentically Portuguese.
“I got a cheese plate from this stand with several different types of Portuguese cheese: sheep's cheese, cow's cheese, goat's cheese, a mixed cheese, and a cow's cheese with spices. The cow's cheese with spices is dense, a little sticky, and spicy. The sheep's cheese is very dry and salty, a proper aged cheese. The goat's cheese is very creamy, soft, and tasty, not even that pungent — I really, really like it. The mixed cheese is a bit salty but very tasty, and the toast helps. Another sheep's cheese with an interesting skin is a bit younger, softer, salty, and very, very tasty. The price wasn't cheap at €17, but I hope they're worth it — and they were very tasty.”
