Astro Cervejaria Petisqueira has been in Porto since 1979 and says its slogan that here you can find the “real bifanas”. It is the ex-libris of O’Astro. Going here and not eating a bifana is like going to Porto once in a lifetime and not drinking a port. According to the owner, Mr. Albino, also the green broth is at the level of the bifanas, because “there is no time of day when it is not fresh, hot and ready to eat”. There are also other snacks to try, such as ham sandwiches, beef patties, shrimp patties, cod pastries, and breadcrumbs.

Anchored in the center of Porto since 93 years ago, the oldest cheese house in Porto recently reopened and, at this moment, it is much more than a cheese house. It kept its essence and tradition in national cheeses, which are worked both in its original form, but also recreated and reworked in dishes by chef João Pupo Lameiras, using mainly Portuguese products combined with ingredients so good that they speak for themselves. The interiors remain faithful to the original, with notes of art nouveau and art deco, with the marble tables of the old café, the Portuguese chairs made of Brazil wood and engraved leather, the surroundings of the curved windows and cork.

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.
