Guido’s Snack Bar is a cosy space, with a decor devoid of artifice, giving it the authenticity of a typical Portuguese snack bar. They are considered ‘the’ Francesinha of Porto (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 a city full of offers with regard to this delicacy. There are several versions of this typical Porto dish, especially Guido’s super special, with shrimp. There are also other offers on the menu, with meat dishes such as nails on bread or plate, veal chops, stuffed steaks, tuna salads, sea delicacies, among others, omelettes, dogs, hamburgers, baguettes, toasts, soups, snacks, such as woodpecker and sausage, wines and refreshments, and menus for adults and children.

The origin of Veiga Bakery and Pastry Shop dates back to the 1980s. It was founded by José Dias Veiga, who began his professional experience in 1963 at a private bakery. In 1980 opens its first bakery in Famalicão. It has had progressive and sustained growth, currently having 17 own stores, a large distribution chain that supplies many customers and a team of over one hundred and a half employees. Veiga Bakery and Pastry Shop is proud to supply its establishments with many varieties of its own bread and cakes, which have fed several generations of customers and are the basis of its growth as a company.

Opened in 2013, it is a bar which opens to the street, with music, concerts and snacks. In the middle of downtown Porto, it tries to bring the street to the street, in this reciprocity of undergoing, experiences and smells. The Rua occupies an old building in the area, with a characteristic interior patio. The architectural project of adaptation to the bar sought to realise the idea of approaching the street, of integration and continuity, using elements and materials from the exterior urbanity, such as the granite of the pavement, the balcony iron bars, the typical tiles and the urban graffiti. On the menu, you can find various solutions for drinking and snacking, ‘potatoes bravas’ (extremely spicy potatoes), padrón peppers, tibornas (similar to a Bruschetta), among others, and even a puff pastry Francesinha.
