In a minimalist and welcoming environment, you will find at Essência Lusa traditional Portuguese dishes and snacks, of homemade confection. The project was born in 2015, with the objective of promoting the varied Portuguese gastronomy to the people who visit Porto, deriving its name from it. The dishes to be highlighted are the codfish with bread, octopus in the oven, seafood rice, 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 the Tripas à Moda do Porto. There is a bet on confection, offering dishes that are cooked in the moment and with high quality products, at competitive prices, but not only. It is part of the Portuguese tradition to receive well and, for that, you can count on the friendliness of the staff in the reception and the service provided to the client.

Capela Incomum is a Wine Bar that finds its home in a former 19th Century Chapel, located in the heart of the bustling Cedofeita district.
This space has carefully selected wines from the most diverse producing regions in Portugal, with special focus on the Douro and Minho areas.
Accompanying the wine is a wide variety of appetizers, cheeses and sausages. With a markedly intimate character, Capela Incomum also bets on the promotion of wine tasting and Fado (music) nights.

Big Petisco defines itself as a traditional appetizer, which prides itself on offering a huge variety of traditional snacks and specialties every day, a grill service and a much praised Francesinha. In addition to the diversity of snacks offered at an inviting price (special hotdog, snacks, hamburgers, etc.), which can be tasted and accompanied by a good wine or beer, Big Petisco is highlighted by its customers for its cozy environment. It also has daily dishes at lunch time. It is worth visiting for food and drink and stay for the good mood.
