At Paolo’s Pizzeria you can enjoy an extensive pizza menu, with garlic bread and drink, or the option of a pizza roll. But you will be making a mistake if you think that Paolo’s only has pizzas. The diversity of starters impresses, from the traditional olives, through the sausage or cheese boards, to the house specialty, a steak puff pastry, accompanied with fried potatoes. There is a panoply of salads and pasta dishes, but the menu of traditional Portuguese dishes is also a great bet, as well as the unavoidable 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) and some snacks. As a cherry on top of the cake, there is also a dessert menu for all tastes and shapes.

Located right next to the iconic Lello Bookstore and overlooking the beautiful Clérigos Tower, the Pastelaria Bela Torre is a great place to take a break during your stroll through downtown Porto, whether for a coffee, a fine or a small snack. Here you will find a range of pastries, such as croissants, cream and Berlin balls, and savory snacks such as patties, breading and meatloaf. It is also the ideal place for brunch or a cheap lunch meal, offering a wide variety of fish and meat dishes. You can also try one of its francesinhas.

Romano has been around for over 20 years. Its main specialty is traditional Portuguese food. Here you can taste specialties such as codfish, hake fillets, Mirandela sausage, “cozido à portuguesa” (Portuguese stew), “tripas à moda do Porto” (Porto-style guts) and many other options that vary every day. Prices are very competitive and, in addition to traditional dishes, you can try one of our many snacks such as the classic francesinha, hotdogs, hamburgers or sandwiches. Romano is a great place for a cheap meal or a mid-morning or afternoon snack.
