    O Escondidinho

    Amid azulejos, dark wood furnishings and starched white place settings, O Escondidinho serves excellent traditional cuisine. Chefs here combine fresh ingredients and a wood-burning oven to create classic bacalhau dishes and flavourful baked octopus, while grilled seafood dishes are equally impressive.

  5. Leitaria Quinta Do Paço

    Dine alfresco at tables on the tiny plaza, or inside the sleekly designed cafe. Neither will break the bank, with excellent lunch specials (chicken cordon bleu, grilled beef and the like) and a tempting dessert counter.

    Rota Do Chá

    This proudly bohemian cafe has a verdant but rustic back garden where students and the gallery crowd sit around low tables sampling from an enormous tea menu. Teas are divided by region and include addictive concoctions like iced matcha (green tea) latte and yerba mate. Tasty snacks include broccoli and cheese crêpes and vegie empanadas.

  7. Praia da Luz

    Beautifully set along the rocky beach of the same name, Praia da Luz is a worthwhile stop when out exploring Porto’s coastline. Sit outside on the wooden deck (but bring a sweater), and enjoy grilled seafood or meat dishes, snacks, salads, and of course a cocktail. It’s about 500m north of the Castelo de São João.

  8. Sabor de Minas

    Specialising in the hearty dishes from Minas Gerais (Brazil), this small, inviting place offers decent value for its all-you-can-eat buffet. While the selection isn’t huge, the dishes are nicely prepared, with salads, desserts and a few side dishes on offer. Friday night is dedicated to churrasco (grilled meat).

    Guernica

    Guernica brings a self-conscious dash of style to Porto, with excellent international cooking in a slim Manhattan-style bistro. Recent favourites include lasagne with mushrooms and brie, codfish with sausage, wild boar and seafood pasta. For once, you can order wines by the glass.
