Aveiro, Portugal
Mercantel
Mercantel sits canal-side opposite the Moliceiro docks, serving rice-focused cooking that draws on Aveiro's lagoon and salt-flat heritage. The kitchen centers local algae, bacalhau, and house-baked bread within a contemporary dining room that balances half a century of operation with urban, current design. Lunch menus run simpler; evening service expands the repertoire.
