Moreda owes its name to Manuel Francisco Moreda, a former councilor of the Oporto Chamber and member of the Porto Trade Association, who in 1860 opened a fig brandy distillery, which later evolved into the wider trade of wines and white drinks. Moreda has a huge variety of snacks made from shard cake such as nail and garlic shard cake. Noteworthy is the francesinha in Caco cake, a mix between the most typical Porto snack with one of the delights of Madeira. It offers economical lunchtime menus with meat and fish options including soup, bread, dessert and coffee. It is still a great place for group dinners.

Canto Doce is an establishment in a central location, near the Palácio da Justiça in Cordoaria, and it is quite eclectic, since it is, at the same time, a snack bar, a restaurant and a confectionary with its own production. It identifies itself as a traditional Portuguese food restaurant and has space for group dinners. It can be the ideal place for quick meals, with its ‘pregos’ (grilled beefsteak) on the Canto Doce bread; or for meals at the table, having various offers, from the famous Francesinha (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), meat options, such as ‘alheira’ ( a type of Portuguese sausage, made with meats (usually pork, veal, duck, chicken, quail or rabbit) and bread) with ‘migas’ (t is usually made with leftover bread, either wheat bread traditionally associated with the Alentejo region in Southern Portugal, or corn bread as used in Beira) or steak in the casserole, fish options, such as grilled squid, codfish dishes or hake fillets, vegetarian options, such as omelettes, and various sweets.

This modern cafeteria, according to the opinion of many, sells the best ‘natas’ (custard pies) in the country, always crispy and coming out of the oven. They have an exclusive recipe, developed by a team of renowned pastry professionals, which respects the excellence and natural origin of the ingredients. The concept was born to spread, around the world, a unique recipe that carries with it the cultural and gastronomic values of the city of Lisbon. It is an idea of a city and a country that aspires to success, because, according to them, “the world needs cream”. In Nata Lisboa you can also taste the menus of fast meals, salads, pies, quiches and all the traditional coffee products.
