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.

A space designed with the goal of being a flower-filled garden overlooking the river, where you could enjoy socializing with friends and good food at any time of the day. The choice of Camelia as a name and symbol is a tribute to Porto, as this native flower species from Asia was introduced in Portugal during the nineteenth century and became an emblematic flower of the city of Porto. Between November and April, when other flowers are rare, camellias bloom and can be admired in all their splendor in the many gardens of Porto. Here you can try some of our specialties such as various types of gourmet coffee, humus, bowls, salads, toasts, cocktails and smoothies.

The Take Time Restaurant invites you to spend a pleasant moment, in the company of those you like best and in the company of good food. It has cafeteria service and bar service, and the space can be reserved for events such as birthdays or group dinners. The speciality is actually its cuisine, with bets on traditional Portuguese cuisine and the offer of dishes included in menus, at very competitive prices. The menu includes dishes such as veal “à jardineira” (served with potatoes, carrots and peas), grilled bream, hake fillets, grilled feasts, game sausage, “carne de porco à Alentejana” (pork with clams), grilled horse mackerel, gizzards cooked by the chef (house speciality), grilled ribs “à lagareiro” (cooked in olive oil) , Tripas à moda do Porto” (the most representative dish of Porto that dates back to the time of the Portuguese Discoveries is cooked with tripe and fat meat, accompanied with thick slices of dark bread; today instead of bread white beans are used), just to mention a few. There is a take-away service.
