To talk about Porto, in addition to Port wine, francesinhas, “Tripas à Moda do Porto” (guts), is also to talk about Futebol Clube do Porto, the most popular club in the city and one of the best known in Europe and in the World. To talk about Braseiro das Antas is also to talk about Futebol Clube do Porto, as it is very close to the old stadium and near the Dragão stadium. It is a meeting point to snack before and after the games and, for those who did not get tickets, during the games. It is here that many fans live the victories of the club, accompanying with bifanas (we are known as “Braseiro House of Bifanas”), as well as Francesinhas and other snacks, always accompanied by cold drinks, preferably beer.

The restaurant Peza Arroz was born in 1944, still under the name Casa de Melgaço, and owes its name to the nickname of the owner’s great-grandfather. It is rustic and welcoming, located in the riverside area of Porto, and it serves good homemade dishes of traditional Portuguese cuisine. It is a great place to rest and regain energy, and then continue visiting the riverside area. The pleasant space outside overlooking the Douro River and the not less friendly staff of the space stand out, and you can enjoy some “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), or a 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), or “bacalhau à marinheiro” (codfish fillets, soaked in seafood broth, roasted in the oven with clams, shrimps, peppers and onions), or grilled beefsteak on the dish, among others, while enjoying one of the most emblematic views of Porto and Gaia, savoured with a glass of wine.
