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.

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.
Is it a café? Is it a pastry shop? Or a hostel? A place to work? An art gallery? A guest house? A beer garden? A house? A space for concerts? A restaurant? An insta gem? A meeting point? A central café? Yes, Supernova is all this, at the same time. If you want, it is the ideal place to have your head on the Moon, because all the decoration goes around the Moon, the planets, the comets and the galaxies. The aim is to serve guests, but also all those who pass by there. They have yogurt bowls with homemade granola, fruit and honey, brownies and homemade cakes, vegetarian dips, salads, and also toasts, such as Supernova, the star of the company and “the first sandwich to travel in space”, as it reads on the menu.
