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.

What makes Café Nobre noble is the simplicity and genuineness with which it receives its customers. The atmosphere is familiar, welcoming and lively, which is provided by the personalised and friendly service. If you are looking for a coffee, a break to have a snack or a candy, or to hang out with friends, Café Nobre can be one of those contemplated. However, it can also be the space to have a meal. First of all, Café Nobre invites you to try what they themselves consider to be the best 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) in the city of Porto. There are also hotdogs, hamburgers, beef sandwiches or beef on the plate with chips, omelettes, mixed toasts, baguettes, salads and much more.

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.
