Is it a café? Is it a pastry shop? Or a hostel? A place to work? An art gallery? A guest house? A beer garden? A house? A space for concerts? A restaurant? An insta gem? A meeting point? A central café? Yes, Supernova is all this, at the same time. If you want, it is the ideal place to have your head on the Moon, because all the decoration goes around the Moon, the planets, the comets and the galaxies. The aim is to serve guests, but also all those who pass by there. They have yogurt bowls with homemade granola, fruit and honey, brownies and homemade cakes, vegetarian dips, salads, and also toasts, such as Supernova, the star of the company and “the first sandwich to travel in space”, as it reads on the menu.

Café Porta do Olival is the oldest café in Porto city still in operation. It was already in operation in 1853, in the same place where it currently operates: in the middle of the Fernandina Wall, very close to the old port of Olival, one of the most important entrances of the city of Porto in medieval times. According to records, already in 1926 was considered the oldest coffee in Portugal. In addition to the unique opportunity to visit an authentic museum with a unique history and charisma overlooking the Clérigos Tower, Café Porta do Olival is a great place for a coffee break, a fine meal or to starve with a of its economic snacks, such as its bifanas and assorted sandwiches.
