WHERE TO EAT The best Migas in the world (according to food experts)

"It's functional rather than charming, but this is the place in town to stop and try migas—bread crumbs, accompanied by garlic, olive oil, chorizo, and, in some cases, topped with a fried egg and a bemusing scattering of grapes."

"Just thinking about it makes my mouth water, from the startes which were TOP, nicely homemade like it's supposed to be in Alentejo, to 'lagartos' with coriander migas and a powerful dessert. Everything amazing."

"We couldn't miss out trying migas; a good place to do this is El Fuelle."

"Good honest Alentejano home-cooking stars on the menu, with dishes like meltingly tender black pork and migas com bacalhau e coentros (codfish with bread and coriander)."

"We were also served a dish that I had not encountered on previous visits to Portugal: migas. Although the description does not sound promising, it is one of the most more-ish comfort dishes I have ever encountered – like a big starchy hug in a bowl."

"It was served with a trio of migas with potatos, tomatos and cauliflower. Delicious, and so different from what we're used to eating. They all had a common denominator, no excess greasinees."

"This small but welcoming restaurant is located in the old quarter of the city. Taberna Nuestra Tierra is the place to go to discover essential recipes from the south of Spain: migas, an ancient dish made of crumbs of bread and spices."

"The beautifully prepared grilled sea bass, the perfectly cooked bread migas and the heavenly braised meat are, in fact, all delicious."

"We ordered codfish fritters, both types of migas, veal stew and steak - and everything was worth five stars."

No-frills traditional restaurant, the migas were very tasty but make sure to save space for the desserts as well.
