Café Ancora D´Ouro has long been affectionately called “Café Piolho”. In fact, no one knows the reason for such a designation, but the theories are many. One of them is that the cafe was frequented by the students of the university, but the teachers also went there and the coexistence was somewhat ceremonious. Then someone started to say that this was a "foolishness". Opened since 1909, the café is a meeting point for students; it was a mandatory stop for poets, politicians, activists, among others. It is a cafe that is part of Porto's history, where you can have a drink, snack and dine, even after hours. Try the francesinha or sarrabulho porridge, from a varied offer.

The Coffee Roasters Factory was created with the strong belief that the time has come for Portugal to get to know special and genuine coffees. Our goal is to establish a unique coffee experience while participating in each stage of the production. By building direct business partnerships with farmers and offering a variety of extraction methods, it results on the delivery of excellent end products. As a result, its unforgettable aromas attract local and international customers. Our dedication to being part of the local community, along with introducing an innovative way to relate to coffee, has helped our small business become the leading reference for gourmet coffee in Portugal.

Manteigaria is a custard tart factory with a public service desk. It has two stores in the city of Porto, located in the Clérigos and in the Bolhão area. Inside it is possible for the customer to observe the whole process of making cream puffs, completely handmade: from the preparation of the dough to the addition of the cream, and, of course, the moment when the cakes are baked. Cream Puffs can be enjoyed inside the store or taken outside. Manteigaria also has the particularity of announcing in the street, through a bell, the exit of a new batch of tartlets ready to be tasted.

At Confeitaria São Domingos the commitment is to the customer and their health. Based on a long family tradition of pastry and with a strong influence of Venezuelan pastry, Confeitaria São Domingos works every day thinking about the well-being of the client. How? They have hot bread daily. Several batches guarantee that, whatever the time you visit, you can taste bread out of the oven. The smell of freshly baked bread makes people more likable, and those who say it are scientists at the University of Southern Brittany in Great Britain, who have watched people pass by or were in bakeries. If there was a smell of hot bread in the air, the chances of helping a stranger were much greater.

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.
