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.

Located in downtown Porto, the fame of the Venham Mais 5 beef sandwiches has spread rapidly throughout the city. With a short menu, the most intense bet is on the quality of the products used in the confection of their dishes. The centre of attention is placed on the beef sandwich, served in bread, with sirloin and melted cheese – you can also order a version with Serra cheese. Almost at the same level of fame are their desserts, especially the chocolate cake, a delight that blends the lightness of a merengue chocolate sigh with chocolate mousse. The portions are generous and often shared by the table, since the very philosophy of the house invites the sharing of stories, conviviality and, there you have it, food.
