Café Piolho – Âncora D’Ouro

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.

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.

The name of the restaurant announces seven original 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) for you to try. The idea was to try to create versions of the well-known delicacy of the city of Porto. So, you can try the Francesinha Tropical, with pineapple and red fruits, the tuna one, the loin one, the turkey one, the cod one and the house special one, with shrimp, besides the traditional one. They are all cooked in the wood oven, as well as the pizzas, Bolognese lasagne or veal chop, soaked in the Francesinha sauce. There is also a variety of traditional Portuguese dishes to choose from, as well as desserts and drinks for all tastes. There are several competitively priced menus, with drink, soup, bread, olives and coffee included.
