The Taberna do Doutor owes its name to a friend and client of the owner, who was a cardiologist, but also a writer and painter, and who always encouraged him to expand the business. After Sinatra's, in the surroundings, he opened the "Taberna do Doutor" (Doctor's Tavern), to create a space that pays homage to the traditional Portuguese cuisine, where codfish is the protagonist. In the menu, you will find codfish boiled with chickpeas, à la Braga (fried codfish served with chips and fried sliced onions), à la Rosa do Adro (boiled codfish which is then roasted; it can be served with mashed potatoes or boiled potatoes), à la Brás (Portuguese dish made from shreds of salted cod, onions and thinly chopped (matchstick-sized) fried potatoes, all bound with scrambled eggs. It is usually garnished with black olives and sprinkled with fresh parsley) or baked on the plate, without forgetting other versions of the faithful friend, as the codfish salad, cakes or ‘pataniscas’ (they consist of pieces of shredded cod fried in wheat flour, seasoned with salt and sometimes pepper and parsley; they have a flattened or spherical irregular shape, if fried in abundant fat and are about 8-12 cm in diameter). There are other options, mainly of meat, as the steak à la ‘doutor’ (cooked in a very specific house manner), of veal, but there are also ‘Tripas à moda do Porto’ (the most representative dish of Porto that dates back to the time of the Portuguese Discoveries is cooked with tripe and fat meat, accompanied with thick slices of dark bread; today instead of bread white beans are used), cooked as the tradition dictates, as if it was the grandmother cooking.
Traditional Portuguese cuisine.

Tex Mex Factory opened in 2019 and it is the result of a Brazilian couple’s passion for the city of Porto. They decided to open a restaurant dedicated to Tex Mex cuisine, a fusion of Texan and Mexican flavours, which would bring palates from the other side of the Atlantic. With a thematic decoration, Mexican style, it is a space that brings together style and flavours, especially the totopos with guacamole, pico de gallo, meat or vegetarian chili, the Nacho Supreme with three sauces to accompany or the Tex Mex hamburger, you can choose the level of spicy. There is also a sweet burrito with ‘brigadeiro’ (chocolate moist cake, filled with chocolate and covered in chocolate chips), strawberry and Kit Kat chocolate. As far as drinks are concerned, there are several Mexican ones, such as the famous Margarita, presented here in eight versions.
Bep Viet is a modern restaurant which respects the traditions of Vietnamese cuisine. The space is designed to make customers feel like they have arrived in Southeast Asia, with a terrace that can be enjoyed on fine weather days.
The most iconic dish on the menu is “pho”, a meat, fish or seafood broth. The basis of Vietnamese food is rice, and the preference for this cereal makes the food healthier as it does away with wheat, making it gluten-free. The owners guarantee that their “egg coffee” – a coffee delicacy with egg yolk and condensed milk – is not to be missed!
