Canto Doce is an establishment in a central location, near the Palácio da Justiça in Cordoaria, and it is quite eclectic, since it is, at the same time, a snack bar, a restaurant and a confectionary with its own production. It identifies itself as a traditional Portuguese food restaurant and has space for group dinners. It can be the ideal place for quick meals, with its ‘pregos’ (grilled beefsteak) on the Canto Doce bread; or for meals at the table, having various offers, from the famous 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), meat options, such as ‘alheira’ ( a type of Portuguese sausage, made with meats (usually pork, veal, duck, chicken, quail or rabbit) and bread) with ‘migas’ (t is usually made with leftover bread, either wheat bread traditionally associated with the Alentejo region in Southern Portugal, or corn bread as used in Beira) or steak in the casserole, fish options, such as grilled squid, codfish dishes or hake fillets, vegetarian options, such as omelettes, and various sweets.

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.

With a privileged location right in the heart of the city and more than 25 years of existence, Confeitaria Bella Roma stands out for the huge variety of sweet and savory that serves its customers. You can choose Bella Roma for a daybreak for coffee and cream or a small snack. You can also take home a box with your much-lauded miniatures or “húngaros”. In addition to confectionery, you can come to this establishment for a meal, as it offers a wide range of Portuguese traditional cuisine every day, such as classic “tripas à moda do Porto” (Porto-style guts), duck rice, various types of cod or veal steak.
