Café Ancora D´Ouro has long been affectionately called “Café Piolho”. In fact, no one knows the reason for such a designation, but the theories are many. One of them is that the cafe was frequented by the students of the university, but the teachers also went there and the coexistence was somewhat ceremonious. Then someone started to say that this was a "foolishness". Opened since 1909, the café is a meeting point for students; it was a mandatory stop for poets, politicians, activists, among others. It is a cafe that is part of Porto's history, where you can have a drink, snack and dine, even after hours. Try the francesinha or sarrabulho porridge, from a varied offer.

Confeitaria Tupi has been in the heart of Baixa for over three decades. Recognized for its pastries, it is a meeting point for different generations of customers, attracting hundreds of visitors daily. The space has been renovated but remains, since 1987, as one of the icons of the restoration of Porto, especially due to its own pastry making. The new decoration retains the essence of the “original”, but adopts a modern style, providing greater comfort to those who visit. It also serves meals, with different dishes of the day, two of meat, pasta, salads and two of fish, ensuring the freshness of the fish directly from Bolhão. You can also try the francesinha here.
To talk about Porto, in addition to Port wine, francesinhas, “Tripas à Moda do Porto” (guts), is also to talk about Futebol Clube do Porto, the most popular club in the city and one of the best known in Europe and in the World. To talk about Braseiro das Antas is also to talk about Futebol Clube do Porto, as it is very close to the old stadium and near the Dragão stadium. It is a meeting point to snack before and after the games and, for those who did not get tickets, during the games. It is here that many fans live the victories of the club, accompanying with bifanas (we are known as “Braseiro House of Bifanas”), as well as Francesinhas and other snacks, always accompanied by cold drinks, preferably beer.
