Sabores Monásticos is a registered trademark that sells Portuguese regional products, many of them originating in the Varosa valley. The headquarters is located in Salzedas, a predominantly agricultural historical settlement which is part of the vineyard villages of the Douro. Salzedas is also the name of a Cistercian monastery, Santa Maria de Salzedas, which began to be built on January 20th, 1168, under the leadership of D. Teresa Afonso, widow of Egas Moniz, one of the founders of Portugal. Its mission is to bring to customers the best products of small farmers, still handcrafted, from ceramics, welfare products, wines, liquors and grocery products.

To talk about Porto, in addition to Port wine, francesinhas, “Tripas à Moda do Porto” (guts), is also to talk about Futebol Clube do Porto, the most popular club in the city and one of the best known in Europe and in the World. To talk about Braseiro das Antas is also to talk about Futebol Clube do Porto, as it is very close to the old stadium and near the Dragão stadium. It is a meeting point to snack before and after the games and, for those who did not get tickets, during the games. It is here that many fans live the victories of the club, accompanying with bifanas (we are known as “Braseiro House of Bifanas”), as well as Francesinhas and other snacks, always accompanied by cold drinks, preferably beer.

Open since April 2016, the Restaurant Sonetos offers a space where you can enjoy the best flavours of the national gastronomy, with tasty delicacies or, as they say, “authentic poems for the palate”. With a simple but very pleasant decoration, where the comfort and well-being of the customer are a constant concern, you can enjoy the pleasures of traditional cuisine, such as veal chop, codfish, Portuguese stew or ‘Tripas à Moda do Porto’ (a traditional dish from Porto, made with various types of meat, tripe, sausages and white beans, served with rice), without missing the indispensable Francesinhas (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), ex-libris of the city. We highlight the “Francesinha” in puff pastry, a variation of the traditional Francesinha, an original recipe of the house, which attracts many of its customers.
