The owner’s name is Eugenia and the history of her café is a “funny” one: she worked in a school nearby, but she did not like working there very much. She took care of the children when they were on their break, but while during school hours her work was more quiet. Bored, but still without another job in sight, she found herself forced to find an escape as an excuse to get out of there. One day, while passing through the street of Bonjardim, she saw a shop that was about to wander and thought she could open a café in that space, betting on her homemade dumplings, something she loved to do. And so Geninha appeared, the name by which she was called at school, where she could share her cakes and snacks.

Copacabana Café is a cosy, friendly space without any big gimmicks. Taking the great picture of Copacabana you feel that you are in a typical place of Porto, with employees who practice an attentive, friendly and familiar service. It can be the chosen space to have a coffee, read the newspaper and relax, but also to taste your varied pastry at snack or breakfast, or snack some of your snacks, and you can choose your generous mixed toast. On sunny days you can enjoy its outer space, as it has tables outside. You can register your Euromillions here or try your luck in a scratching card. It has a free Wi-Fi network.

Masaki Onishi is the name of the well-known Japanese chef behind Ichiban’s gastronomic offer. The japanese embassy in Portugal picked him up from the Kyoshinzan restaurant in Kyoto and managed to keep him as a chef for three years. Today, in a restaurant located right by the sea, where fresh fish arrives every day, the offer goes far beyond sushi and sashimi, with amazing fish and meat dishes. The restaurant’s décor is minimalist in light tones so that every meal is enjoyed with total lightness and peace of mind, combined with the friendliness and careful explanation of the dishes, making the meal an experience of taste discovery and an authentic adventure for japanese culture.
