Who we are

We are Nelson and Elisangela, proud Portuguese food lovers with a deep passion for cooking. In Portugal, food isn’t just nourishment—it’s the heart of every gathering. Whether it’s a cozy dinner at home, an evening out with friends, or a festive celebration, great food is always at the center, bringing people together.

With Tuga Bites, we aim to share a slice of this rich culinary tradition beyond Portugal’s borders. Through our handcrafted snacks—crispy rissois, flavorful croquetes, delicate pastel de bacalhau, and indulgent brigadeiros—we want to spark moments of joy, connection, and nostalgia.

More than just food, Tuga Bites is about celebrating togetherness, creating warm memories, and savoring the authentic flavors that define Portuguese culture. We invite you to take a bite and experience a taste of Portugal!
