A French-Portuguese couple came to Porto, with the will to participate in the evolution, dynamism and culinary diversity of the city. They changed their lives and careers and opened Porto Express, to propose original flavours and promote the products of the north of Portugal, in a welcoming space, where everyone can get together and feel at ease, in conviviality and sharing food. It is a tapas bar, of drinks, of hamburgers, of homemade cakes and brunch, serving local and artisan products, with a modern and original touch, with vegan and vegetarian options. They also have artistic and cultural events (workshops, concerts, thematic dinners); they are pet-friendly; and they focus on the satisfaction of each client.

Museu da Avó opened in September 2009 and has been demonstrating that evenings are also built with gatherings of friends around a snack table. Housed in “Travessa de Cedofeita”, this space attracts its own clientele, who prefer quiet outings, but is also a crossing point for those wishing to line their stomach before, in the middle or after a night of revelry. The variety is great, from the Spanish typical “pimentos padrón” to the seafood rice, from the Portuguese “alheira” to the famous ham, from the green broth (Portuguese soup) to the “bifanas” (bread with pork meat). The granitic walls and tiles give the rustic touch that suits a space that is affirmed by tradition, from the palate to the decoration. Hanging from the ceiling or in the showcases scattered throughout the room are numerous antiques.
