Under the motto “It is the voice of the land yearning for the sea”, from the poem D. Dinis by Fernando Pessoa, and paying tribute to the shepherds of Serra da Estrela, the very first Casa Portuguesa do Pastel de Bacalhau opened in 2015 on Rua Augusta, Lisbon, as a way to celebrate two icons of Portuguese gastronomy: the Codfish Cake and the PDO Serra da Estrela Cheese.
