Open since 1969, Concha Douro is one of the oldest pastry shops in the city of Porto. Entering this space is also taking a journey through time, promoting a welcoming environment from other times and a familiarity that one can feel. This does not mean compromising the constant updating and adaptation to the demands of the new times. Here you can make your meal at lunchtime and buy groceries; but the ex-libris of Concha Douro is its pastry shop, especially the confectionary biscuits, ‘seminaristas’ (smaller version of a traditional sweet made with puff pastry, with egg filling and cinnamon and royal glaze topping), ‘glorinhas’ (circular cake with a hole in the middle – it has more or less the shape of a donut – with a very high puff pastry basis; a thick layer of egg jam is applied on it and finally a thin white and crispy layer of sugar syrup covers it all), ‘pastéis de nata’ (Portuguese egg tart pastry dusted with cinnamon) and ‘Hungarian sweets’ (butter biscuit, half of which has chocolate coating). Concha Douro is proud of the quality of its products, which it promotes in the raw materials used and in the maintenance of the original recipes.

This restaurant was born in 1905, as Casa de Pasto, changing its name later in the 60’s to Solar Moinho de Vento. According to some testimonials and writings of the time, it was with this name that Portuguesa fado diva, Amália Rodrigues, acted in this space.
Renovated in 2002, this centenary restaurant is renowned for its traditional Portuguese food and its award-winning wine list. In our menu we highlight Ribs Rice with vegetables, Octopus Rice and “Pica no Chão” (traditional chicken rice), among several other options. In addition to top quality dishes, Solar Moinho de Vento offers a warm atmosphere and a caring and friendly service.

The gastronomic concept of Casa Virtude mirrors the virtues of the best of Portuguese cuisine, the excellent products of our country and the very rich history that it contains.
With a welcoming atmosphere and using traditional flavors that remind us of the family, Casa Virtude intends, through its letter, to convey to those who visit it, the comforting feeling transmitted by national food.
In addition to its menu, Casa Virtude also stands out for its location in one of the most inspiring and magical places in the city, right in the historic center, with a superb view over the Douro River.
