Open since 1969, Concha Douro is one of the oldest pastry shops in the city of Porto. Entering this space is also taking a journey through time, promoting a welcoming environment from other times and a familiarity that one can feel. This does not mean compromising the constant updating and adaptation to the demands of the new times. Here you can make your meal at lunchtime and buy groceries; but the ex-libris of Concha Douro is its pastry shop, especially the confectionary biscuits, ‘seminaristas’ (smaller version of a traditional sweet made with puff pastry, with egg filling and cinnamon and royal glaze topping), ‘glorinhas’ (circular cake with a hole in the middle – it has more or less the shape of a donut – with a very high puff pastry basis; a thick layer of egg jam is applied on it and finally a thin white and crispy layer of sugar syrup covers it all), ‘pastéis de nata’ (Portuguese egg tart pastry dusted with cinnamon) and ‘Hungarian sweets’ (butter biscuit, half of which has chocolate coating). Concha Douro is proud of the quality of its products, which it promotes in the raw materials used and in the maintenance of the original recipes.

A Brasileira is one of the most famous cafes in the city, known for its architecture, notably for its façade, with its magnificent iron and glass sunshade and its stunning interior, with crystals, marbles and leather furniture. It is a coffee full of history: it was born in 1903 and was the first to serve coffee in a cup at the beginning of the 20th century. Its slogan of the time is equally recognized: “The best coffee is from Brazil”.
After more than a decade of semi-abandonment, its current version opened in 2018, the result of a renovation process of the building in which it is located, preserving its original architectural features and incorporating the new Hotel Pestana Porto – A Brasileira. .
