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.

Canto Doce is an establishment in a central location, near the Palácio da Justiça in Cordoaria, and it is quite eclectic, since it is, at the same time, a snack bar, a restaurant and a confectionary with its own production. It identifies itself as a traditional Portuguese food restaurant and has space for group dinners. It can be the ideal place for quick meals, with its ‘pregos’ (grilled beefsteak) on the Canto Doce bread; or for meals at the table, having various offers, from the famous Francesinha (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), meat options, such as ‘alheira’ ( a type of Portuguese sausage, made with meats (usually pork, veal, duck, chicken, quail or rabbit) and bread) with ‘migas’ (t is usually made with leftover bread, either wheat bread traditionally associated with the Alentejo region in Southern Portugal, or corn bread as used in Beira) or steak in the casserole, fish options, such as grilled squid, codfish dishes or hake fillets, vegetarian options, such as omelettes, and various sweets.

Since 1958 this confectionery in the Boavista area has been the delight of those who pass by. Entering Porto Rico is to enter the history of Porto’s pastry shops, with a product offering that spans all the walls, as if we had entered a grocery store from our grandparents’ time. Old but current, it is still sought after by its húngaros, its bolo rei and its digestives. In addition to these specialties, you can find varied pastries and confectionery, jams, teas, drinks, groceries, among others, and an ideal space to have breakfast, snack, have a light meal or snack.
