The restaurant Peza Arroz was born in 1944, still under the name Casa de Melgaço, and owes its name to the nickname of the owner's great-grandfather. It is rustic and welcoming, located in the riverside area of Porto, and it serves good homemade dishes of traditional Portuguese cuisine. It is a great place to rest and regain energy, and then continue visiting the riverside area. The pleasant space outside overlooking the Douro River and the not less friendly staff of the space stand out, and you can enjoy some “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), or a 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), or “bacalhau à marinheiro” (codfish fillets, soaked in seafood broth, roasted in the oven with clams, shrimps, peppers and onions), or grilled beefsteak on the dish, among others, while enjoying one of the most emblematic views of Porto and Gaia, savoured with a glass of wine.
Traditional Portuguese food, codfish, octopus, bean rice.

Gelataria Portuense is a traditional ice cream shop where you can taste the famous ice creams produced by one of Cattabriga’s only two Effe machines in Portugal, the revolutionary machine invented in 1927 by Otello Cattabriga, an ingenious and talented Italian inventor. This is the only machine capable of reproducing the stacca and spalma movements, with the smoothness and rhythm of the Italian grandmother’s hands. This ice cream shop privileges fresh fruit and predominantly Portuguese flavors such as Port wine, “pastel de nata” and “leite creme” (cream milk), without forgetting the most requested flavors such as chocolate and vanilla. At Gelataria Portuguesa the production of ice cream is made without the use of dyes and preservatives.
With its doors open to the general public since July 2016, in the trendy Largo de São Domingos, Prégar presents itself as a cosmopolitan restaurant, with interior design and decoration by the famous Paulo Lobo.
On its menu, Prego de Lombo (plain or with mountain cheese) is the highlight, but there are also several alternatives, such as the picanha, tuna, vegetarian, or hamburgers that deserve a mention, offering alternatives for all tastes.
Prégar is also a multifaceted restaurant, great for lunch, dinner or chopping some starters, always accompanied by good wine, gin or cocktails, at any time of the day.
Duarte’s Street Food reflects the talent and creativity of Portuguese gastronomy. The concept of ‘Street Food’ arises in order to make the best national flavours known, from the suckling pig sandwich, meat rissol, to the ham and egg sandwich. They travel the country so that everyone can know and taste their sandwiches. Concerts, festivals and pilgrimages are events where parties and food combine and Duarte’s Street Food is present, to share and provide unique and complete moments. After several requests for the existence of a physical shop, this space was born, where you can find your sandwiches in a fixed place and where customers are welcomed as friends.
