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.

Topázio is a small cafe and snack bar, with a cozy atmosphere and a family service. Here, you can take a break to read the newspaper over coffee or cake. It is also an excellent place for a meal. You can choose your specialty, which is the francesinha, highly praised for its sauce and the quality of the ingredients. At lunchtime you can order one of their traditional dishes, accompanied by homemade soup. You also have other options at your disposal like the Steak à Topázio, the nail in the plate or the dog. If you prefer fish, you can try Bacalhau à Braga, grilled salmon or hake fillets.
