Guidebook for Porto
Food Scene
One of those places that suggests that we take a pause, sit on a terrace facing the river and overlooking the Afurada, savoring delicious gourmet tapas, traditional food with a twist, accompanied by a good selection of wines by the glass from an extensive list which highlights the Douro region.

Although determined to maintain the tradition of the old typical portuguese grocery store , where you can buy fruits and vegetables, bread and biscuits, the grocery Miguel offers the opportunity to enjoy a very nice breakfast or light meal, with fresh juices, fruit, typical portuguese bread, salads, quiches, crostinis, bruchetas and soup, among others. In the evening it is a special place for a snack, cheeses and sausages, accompanied by a glass of wine. Inside or in the terrace. With a friendly atmosphere, welcoming and cosmopolitan, surrounded by nice music.

Not cheap but....
The gastronomic offer of the city was enriched with the opening of Restaurante Pedro Lemos, well located in a typical scenario of numerous gray streets that intersect in a jumble of houses almost merged through narrow sidewalks, at the so-called ‘Foz Velha’. We enter on a welcoming hall, where several gourmet products that can be bought are shown, which leads us to a cozy dining room with a golden hue. Upstairs is another dining room, with discreet darker tones that creates a more cosmopolitan ambience (and where smoking is allowed).
We could find there an ideal place to leisurely enjoy a traditional Portuguese cuisine, punctuated with touches of creativity and modernity, each plate having a story embedded. Beyond the restaurant itself, there is a bar space that invites for pleasant afternoons with some fantastic fine patisserie sweetsmeats with a cup of tea, or for a relaxing after-work between tasteful titbits and an extensive selection of wines, also by the glass. An unexpected cultural agenda with art exhibitions, reading and book presentations, presenting new musical projects, among others, complete this cool scenario.

This is one of the preferred restaurants in the city for those looking for the excellence of Italian cuisine. For its charm and the flavors Al Forno remains my favorite. In the wood-burning oven, which stands out this simple décor cozy space, the pizzas are made in our sight, and is created by the combination of aromas and unequaled flavors, an intimate and comfortable atmosphere that makes us quickly feel 'at home' . The crispy pizzas prevail on the menu, but the rest does not let you down. The wine list is varied and the desserts too, and delicious crepes.
A place to discover in Foz Velha, especially in those winter days when the oven heat makes you forget the weather outside ... It is a small room counseling appointment.
