The place invites to refinement and in the tea room, with period chairs and sofas, coffee tables with cozy lamps, chandeliers and mirrors, you can snack with all the glamor. That’s where you can order scones, which come with jam, or something from your French-inspired pastries. You can also have a brunch, with natural orange juice, half toast, house cake, among others.
Kardoso Bons Comeres fulfils the trilogy of more than 30 years of dedication to the catering sector. The owner had already inaugurated two well-known spaces in the city, first the Yuko Tavern and later the Paparico. The restaurant Kardoso bets on refinement, which starts in the rustic style decoration, providing its customers a warm and family atmosphere. Here you can savour famous dishes, but cooked with great mastery, such as the Francesinhas (a sandwich from the city of Porto, consisting of sausage, fresh sausage, ham, cold meats and beef steak, covered with cheese later melted; it is garnished with a tomato, beer and piri-piri sauce and can be served with French fries as a side dish), the chef’s ribs or even the Arouquesa veal. It is proud to always look for quality products, the meat is always D.O.P. (protected designation of origin) and familiarity extends to the service, warm and personalized.
Officially founded in 1959, Café Santiago had opened doors before as a grazing house and tavern. Francesinha Santiago has always been the main reference of the establishment, having emerged as a result of the refining of typical Francesinha do Porto by members of the Pereira family. Its carefully selected ingredients, 100% artisanal cooking processes and the well-known special sauce whose recipe is a family secret, give Francesinha Santiago the highest reference status in national cuisine. Santiago F emerged in 2011 from the need to expand the business in light of the remarkable demand felt in the original space.
