Socalcos Vinhos & Gourmet emerged in a rehabilitated building, next to the former Ferreira Borges Market, being the modern version of the Infante Cabaz Wine Cellar. This is owned by Mr. Manuel Pinto, Socalcos is owned by Bruno Pinto, the son who follows the knowledge of the family. Large and clean, Socalcos’ proposal is to provide a pleasant space for tourists and locals to make their choice comfortably between the various brands of Port and table wines, including a range of so-called “superior” wines. To add to the careful selection of wines, we can find a set of gourmet products, such as cheese and composites, that complement the taste of the most demanding.

Obbifanas was born in 2016 after 40 years of much dedication in the restaurant business and with a continuous search of how to satisfy its customers. It is with great affection that, day after day, they try to perfect their product and convince the customer to repeat the visit. There is a lot to choose from, but the emphasis is on the offer in diminutives. Diminutives in name, great in flavour. The product in prominence are the Bifaninhas, considered by many the best in Porto. You can also choose Preguinhos in bread or Bichorrinhos, which can include cheese from Serra, according to personal taste. According to them, what distinguishes them is their taste, professionalism and a very special ingredient – affection.

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.
