Taylor’s opened a store that invites you to discover the universe of port wine. In what is the first private label Port store to open in downtown Porto, it is represented by some of its icons. The limited collection Single Harvest Port, Taylor’s LBV and Taylor’s Chip Dry (the first Extra Dry White Port) are just a few. Taylor’s, also recognized as the premier producer of Old Tawnies, has one of the largest hull-aged port reserves. Tawnies are available from 10 to 40 years old. To complement the offer, you can also buy tickets to visit the Taylor’s Port wine cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia.

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.

Kidoce works as a coffee shop, where you will be well looked after, to relax at any time of the day. In a relaxed, familiar and welcoming space, the ex-libris of the house are your homemade “rissóis” (mall patty enclosed in pastry, or rolled in breadcrumbs, usually baked or deep fried. It is filled with savoury ingredients, most often minced meat or fish, and is served as an entrée, main course, or side dish). This space can be chosen to take a break and have coffee, as well as to have a snack or even a complete meal. The offer is varied. As snacks, besides the mentioned “rissóis”, there are turkey sandwiches, American sandwiches, codfish dumplings, mixed toasts, beef steak with French fries, croissants, chicken pies, breaded pork steak on the bread, hotdogs, ham sandwiches, among others. For a meal, there are dishes of the day, as well as beef steak with French fries, hamburgers, 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), just to mention a few.
