“(Translated by Google) Very fresh affordable meals, but that grilled chicken is to eat and cry for more and that house green wine, especially the red one, is amazing.(Original)Refeições económicas muito frescas, mas aquele frango assado na brasa é de comer e chorar por mais e aquele vinho verde da casa principalmente o tinto é de aterrar.“

“(Translated by Google) Good coffee for a light and economical lunch. Friendly and helpful staff. In my opinion, the menu is too extensive and some dishes are more elaborate for the type of establishment, which clearly complicates the kitchen's logistics, increasing the waiting time.(Original)Bom café para um almoço ligeiro e económico. Staff cordial e prestável. A meu ver, tem uma ementa demasiado extensa e com alguns pratos mais elaborados para o tipo de estabelecimento, o que claramente dificulta a logística da cozinha aumentando o tempo de espera.“

“Everything was magnificent, the taste of the food was exceptional, the two girls who served us were attentive to everything.
We would definitely repeat.
Just 7 minutes from the river, it's worth the climb!
Thank you for serving us so well!“

“Very nice place! The person who attend us was nice, even in the last 45 min before closing. Thank you! He served us very well, recommended us... Food was delicious and local style, vegetable soup was surprisingly delicious, I also tried an amazing flan / pudding, hand and home made. I would like to repeat to try the main dishes, and we only tried what remains as kind of Portuguese "tapas". Totally recommended.“

“Coffee is great, but the main guy running the cash register was the nicest man. When trying to learn and speak Portugese, I run into many words I still don't know. This happened when ordering coffee. Instead of dismissing my confusion and just speaking to me in english, he clarified and helped me learn a few more words and phrases while speaking to me in portugese. That's service, and that shows care. Made me feel comfortable.“

“Perfect little Portuguese café for breakfast or a snack in between. The toasts with cheese & tomato or cheese & ham are particularly recommended. Pastel de Nata and the Portuguese chocolate croissant were also outstanding. Extremely friendly owner who provides excellent service!“

“A 10-rated cafeteria. Crispy and delicious toast, top-quality coffee, delicious orange juice and desserts. They treated us very well, we went with 2 dogs and they let us in, they gave them water and treated them great.
A 10 for the site, highly recommended and good price.“

“Wow, we had a great breakfast there today. The restaurant is located on a not-so-busy street and that's what's really nice. The interior is harmonious, there was a little jazz playing in the background and the atmosphere was great for our breakfast. The service was very nice and the breakfast was rich and very tasty.
There's no outside area, but that's not a bad thing. I can recommend the restaurant without reservation!“

“Located in one of the city's most trendy neighborhoods - Bonfim - Dona Mira reflects the city's climate of diversity and cultural effervescence. This can be seen as soon as you enter the bar, with the exhibition of photographs of the bar's owners interacting with some of the most important musicians in Brazil. The tribute makes perfect sense since both Carlos and Valéria are renowned producers and singers, respectively.
Here you can find both the comfort to read while drinking a coffee on a rainy afternoon, and the space to share a good wine and some snacks while chatting with friends. At the back of the café there is a terrace where you can make the most of the longest and softest days of the year and, in addition, there is a library. If you didn't bring your book with you to enjoy the moment, no problem, Dona Mira has a library of books to borrow and, even better, there is a small bookstore full of Brazilian editions that are not always easy to find here in Portugal.“

“We drank a perfectly extracted double and a single espresso, clear notes without excess acidity or bitterness, I observed the barista's workflow, super fluid with all the necessary steps to obtain consistently good coffee, we were also very well served by another barista who was very Friendly and even brought water to the table when we finished our coffees, if I lived nearby it would be a cafe to go to every day.“

“This amazing place is highly recommended.
You can pick ingredients from a list to make up your own salad, and it comes out so yummy! Generous portions, tasty food, lovely watresses, it all leaves you happy and smiling.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of ingredients to make up your own salad.“

“Visited for brunch following many recommendations, which were all spot-on. Even though there was a queue when we arrived, we got a table fairly quickly and service was pretty fast. We loved the food (smoked salmon bowl, and waffles with tempura chicken), and the iced teas were also very nice, especially the passion fruit matcha.“

“Really welcoming place, with a small interior decoration that is very relaxing thanks to the sound of the water flowing in the small fountain and the chirping of the birds
We tasted a not bad pastel de Nata (I think it's spelled like that), a slice of good chocolate cake and a portion of very good passion fruit cheesecake + a coke and a ginger ale all for less than 10 euros
Friendly and smiling staff
Highly recommended“

“I visited today with my favorite person for some coffee after lunch. I love Galão in Portugal; drinking it is one of my favorite things. I had noticed this café while walking past the bridge before, so we decided to give it a try today. The prices for our drinks were not touristy at all—considering the location and view, they were very reasonable. The owner (or perhaps the manager) seemed very friendly.“

“We stumbled onto this place while heading to another place for breakfast. Thank goodness we did.
From the moment we walked in until we left, we were surrounded with amazing energy, from everyone that worked there.
The food was amazing, and seemed a little more like home than we’d had since we visited Portugal. Don’t get me wrong, I love to emerge myself in the culture, but a lot of the restaurants in this area seem to serve the same thing as the other restaurants. So when we found this place, that seems to march to a beat of their own drum, we were elated. If you enjoy American type food with a Portugal twist and even some vegetable's, this is the place for you. From the coffee, to the breakfast plates to the desserts, this place was just delicious!!!!
The atmosphere was great as well, so cute and so fun. We didn’t eat outside on the back patio, but next time we will for sure. That area was adorable.

I can’t wait to return to Porto, so we can go back, over and over again. We already decided to stay in this area, so that we can have this place close by.“

“Amazing staff, they take their time to actually explain what the food there is if you don‘t speak portuguese. Really friendly staff. Food (especially breakfast) is wonderful aswell. Server told us that we‘d be coming back and we did! :)

Vegetarian options: Fried spinach pockets are amazing“

“We look for places that are not typical tourist traps, not only because of the price, but also because of the local atmosphere. That turned out to be the case. They are kind, the food is delicious, the coffee is good. The Francesinha was enough until the evening, so filling!“

“I had a good experience in Mauritius, the food was delicious and fresh, especially the chocolate croissant. The place is super beautiful and comfortable. I have nothing to complain about the service either! I went on a Sunday morning and it was empty, so the food arrived very quickly, but I don't know what the service is like on busy days.“

“I recently visited O Diplomata and had an amazing experience. The pancakes were fluffy, golden brown, and delicious. The cozy, modern atmosphere was perfect for a relaxing meal. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making sure we were well taken care of. Overall, it was a delightful visit, and I’ll definitely be returning soon.“

“The place where the locals eat and drink is therefore familiar, good and cheap, with a beautiful view of the river and the other side. The owner refused to even accept a tip. We ordered three types of food, all of them were huge and delicious.“

“A fantastic place with top Brazilian feijoada.
Good, cheap and well served and they also offer an excellent caipirinha
Lots of friendliness and beauty ?
We will be back

Parking: Street of joy
Good Belgian beer“

“A well-known location in the city of Porto, now completely renovated. The staff is friendly, always ready to assist and contribute to a quick service. The quality is excellent, from the ice creams, the francesinhas and the pastries.
I personally have the habit of having breakfast.
I highly recommend“

“AT CAFÉ HJP THE FOOD IS HOMEMADE AND IS VERY TASTY FROM THE MEAT DISHES, FISH, AND SNACKS. FRANCESIES ETC... MADE BY TWO COOKS, THE SERVICE IS GENERALLY CARRIED OUT ATTENTIVELY, WITH A LEVEL OF SPEED AND EFFICIENCY CARRIED OUT BY ITS EMPLOYEES. IT IS A CAFÉ WHERE A GREAT FRIENDSHIP IS CREATED BETWEEN THE OWNERS AND CUSTOMERS. I RECOMMEND CAFÉ HJP FOR BREAKFASTS, LUNCHES, SNACKS, FISHING OR DINNER WITH GROUPS OF FRIENDS OR WITH FAMILY.“

“I feel at home. The hosts are amazing, the food is great and the environment is conducive to meeting people and having fun! The games cave is impressive, it really has everything! I adore! ?

Kid-friendliness: My daughter loves it! They offer lots of games for the family!“

“We had already passed by the bar a few times and one night we decided to eat there, the bar is very original, the service was very honest and sincere.

When the bar owner told me: “You won’t regret it, the food here is very good.” We had no doubts, the food would be good.

The bread was excellent, the toast was very well made and the omelet was excellent.

Thank you very much!“

“"Wherever you do what you see..." We were looking for where to eat and we saw that it was full of local people. Very good prices and generous portions; basically combined dishes and you can try the francesinha at a good price. Attentive waiters.“

“The atmosphere of the place is beautiful, very well decorated and the places are comfortable, there is space to eat in groups and individually.
The service of the waiters is adequate, I only have one correction which is that they do not hand out the service bill, without asking they crumple it up and throw it away.

The food was good.
The coffee is delicious.
I ordered eggs and sweet potato, the eggs were obviously fresh and delicious but the potato looked overheated I couldn't eat it without mixing it with the egg.

“Very tasty food and great service. A very tasty house burger, the Prego no Pão Especial is also very tasty, with a very good mustard, and the highlight is the Francesinha Especial on the house Alentejano Bread and its unique sauce.
It's very worth it.“

“I'm only going there because that's where I want to be!

Kid-friendliness: Certainly minors only in the company of parents or friends. Reading, background music, noise that is not at all disturbing and the outdoor space is my favorite place to have coffee and a cigarette.

“As a fan of Mercado do Bom Sucesso, I have to say that this Cremosi is without a doubt my favorite option when it comes to desserts. It’s always a pleasure to go back there for an ice cream (the hazelnut one is my favorite) or a crepe! Fantastic service is clearly one of the differentiating factors.“

“4.5/5*

This was a dense and large francesinha, utilising a lot of cheese and with a medium-rare sirloin steak inside. The chorizo inside was Smokey, salty and perfectly spiced. There was also a beautifully creamy, fatty, melting mortadella included in this francesinha. The sauce had the perfect balance of sweetness from the port, spice, creaminess, a savoury tomatoey flavour and a slight bitterness from the beer. The egg on top was ideally runny, the bread was lightly crispy, and the cheese was thick, creamy and deliciously high in cholesterol. The chips on the side were outstanding in combination with the sauce, crispy, salty and ready to be drenched.

The Pasteis de bacalhau were incredibly creamy, made from potato, dried cod fish (bacalhau: a Portuguese delicacy), onion, garlic, olive oil and parsley. The interior was soft like a mashed potato consistency and the exterior has a lightly crusted, hash brown like layer. These croquettes are easy to come by all over Portugal, with both the smallest of restaurants serving them and also the most sophisticated ones. We appreciated the slight nutmeg flavour in this batter.“

“One of the best places to get your daily coffee or breakfast with many options and good prices, the location is good, and the people working there are kindOne of the best places to have your coffee is a great choice, with good prices and a good location, the person who works there is polite and very friendly“

“Gosto de tudo na Padoca em Gaia. A comida, e agora com novos menus ao jantar, o espaço sofreu obras e está ainda mais aconchegante, e o staff é muito bom. É o espaço vegan que mais frequento no Grande Porto. Muito bom tb para jantares de grupo. Recomendo mesmo muito.“

“Quero deixar aqui um relato de como foi maravilhoso nossa hospedagem no Sandra, nos iniciamos nosso caminho em junho e nossa primeira parada foi nesse ambiente magnífico, uma super recepção pela família toda em especial pelo filho dos donos, que sempre tinha a preocupação de nós agradar e fazer sentir bem, os quartos são maravilhosos, com varandas de vistas magníficas, tudo bem limpo e wc perguntado, mas relativamente a gastronomia, até hoje sinto o prazer daquele saboroso filete de pescada só em pensar, as natas são perfeitas e todo atendimento é maravilhoso, desejo muito voltar e recomendo, muitas felicidades e obrigado por nós fazer sentir tão bem.“

“A fantastic discovery because the restaurant I went to frequently was closed! I am currently a regular customer of this gem. The most homemade food there is and always very well prepared. Service is always friendly and quick. Daily rates from €5.50. Congratulations and continue with the excellent service.“

“We went here for lunch during our 4 day stay. Excellent place in the city center, I fell in love with their soups and main dishes. The staff was smiling and very nice. The wife never missed a day without their fantastic desserts and I had their delicious yogurt ice cream.“

“The experience was incredible and totally worth it, the atmosphere is super welcoming and cozy. The service, especially from the attendant Júlia, who was super attentive and recommended a wonderful cake ? ✨
I will definitely be back ???“

“The cafe is the main street of Povoa de Varzim. We had visited here few months ago but passed by it several times. The owner lady is very friendly and has wished us whenever we passed through and our eyes had met. This visit was for coffee before lunch. As usual it is quite busy. We had a wonderful coffee. She even enquired if I needed internet. Lovely place.“

“While walking through the streets of Porto I came across this friendly bakery. I had a coffee and ate a croissant with soft egg filling. It was delicious and the service was excellent. A pleasant surprise along the way. And the price was super fair! I recommend!! I will be back“

“Morning train ride leaving Porto
1st place open run at 8:20 for the last meal
I had strawberry field and brunch salmon set.
Cafe latte and espresso with milk
The portions are huge and the brunch set especially goes well with a variety of ingredients.
Friendly and kind. It was great as our last meal in Porto.“
