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.

The desire to make slow fermentation bread and vegan products was combined with the desire to pay homage to the entrepreneurial grandmother and homemade “baker”. Faced with the need to create products allied to the environment and a healthier and less cruel diet for living beings in general, Odete Bakery appeared. Here we see the return to the taste of bread the old-fashioned way, with mother dough, and pastry free of dairy substances or animal origin. All products are made with national flours, ground into stone millstones, preserving the quality of nutrients of whole grains. All the bakery, pastry and pizzeria is 100% vegan and naturally fermented. To awaken the palate of those looking for a plant based diet.

Opened in December 2015 and inspired by a Tokyo bar but with its own twist, BOP Café is a nice bar in central Porto where you can enjoy American food, such as hamburgers, bagels or sandwiches, accompanied by various types of coffee or international beers, to the sound of traditional vinyl records.
With a large collection of jazz, soul and blues, vinyl records can even be heard individually by BOP attendees through turntables with a headphone jack on some of the tables, making this cafe not only a relaxed place to hang out, but a great space for music lovers.
