In a minimalist and welcoming environment, you will find at Essência Lusa traditional Portuguese dishes and snacks, of homemade confection. The project was born in 2015, with the objective of promoting the varied Portuguese gastronomy to the people who visit Porto, deriving its name from it. The dishes to be highlighted are the codfish with bread, octopus in the oven, seafood rice, 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) and the Tripas à Moda do Porto. There is a bet on confection, offering dishes that are cooked in the moment and with high quality products, at competitive prices, but not only. It is part of the Portuguese tradition to receive well and, for that, you can count on the friendliness of the staff in the reception and the service provided to the client.

Café Gaveto was born in 2014 and came to complete an old dream of having a space prepared and thought out by the owner, but oriented to the detail for the comfort of the final customer. That is how this place came to be, with the focus on having a brand that differentiates them from others, either by the space, the products or the service. The charm products of the establishment are the natural juices, hot chocolate of various flavours, differentiated teas of unique aromas, author hamburgers and croissants. They also offer a friendly service that in the long run becomes familiar. This is how they want to score this place and this is how they promise to continue in the future, a small space full of everything that feels like coming back.
10 em São Domingos has been open to the public since 2016, but only in May 2017 the new and current management took possession of the space. This restaurant always seeks to offer a service with high quality products, where everything that is always made has three central and special ingredients: love, dedication and inspiration. Whether it is for simpler breakfast, stronger meal, tapas accompanied by a wine or even a well composed lunch, this space will surely answer what you are looking for. From its varied menu and with options for all tastes, we can highlight francesinha, “prego em bolo do caco”, mediterranean toast, “bifanas” and “caldo verde”.
