If we talk about Pedro dos Frangos we obviously have to talk about chicken. However, this establishment is known for the chicken closed on a spit, roasted on a brazier, having been the first to coo kit like that in the city. It is also a restaurant known for its offer of traditional Portuguese dishes, namely, “cozido à portuguesa”, “tripas à Moda do Porto”, roasted lamb, “bacalhau à João do Grão”, “rancho”, among others. The origin of the establishment dates back to 1939 as a grazing house. On November 11th, 1961, Pedro da Silva founded the “Casa do Pedro”, a name he owes to its founder, Pedro da Silva. It was in 1978 that the “Casa do Pedro” became “Pedro dos Frangos”, the name by which it is known today.

The Essência do Chá e Café establishment offers our guests friendly prices and a covered terrace where you can enjoy especially the dish that presents itself as the house specialty: the traditional francesinha.
On selected days it is still possible for those who frequent this space to taste the Bacalhau à Braga, another relief dish in the restaurant menu.
At Essência do Chá e Café you can also enjoy enjoying one of the many cakes available during your snack break.
This establishment provides free Wi-Fi for our customers.

Gelataria Portuense is a traditional ice cream shop where you can taste the famous ice creams produced by one of Cattabriga’s only two Effe machines in Portugal, the revolutionary machine invented in 1927 by Otello Cattabriga, an ingenious and talented Italian inventor. This is the only machine capable of reproducing the stacca and spalma movements, with the smoothness and rhythm of the Italian grandmother’s hands. This ice cream shop privileges fresh fruit and predominantly Portuguese flavors such as Port wine, “pastel de nata” and “leite creme” (cream milk), without forgetting the most requested flavors such as chocolate and vanilla. At Gelataria Portuguesa the production of ice cream is made without the use of dyes and preservatives.
