Favorite hang outs in Porto.

There are so many great places to visit in Porto. It is hard to know where to start. Here are a few of our favorites.

First, some old faves in new locations.

Eddie´s Klub Whiskey Bar has moved to Lapa. It is still the best place to have a dram in town. It sports a more spacious, homier space and is a few minutes walk from the Lapa metro station. Eddie and João are the hosts with the most here. If you like whiskey, you must check it out. Porto is lucky to have them. BAR & WHISKY BOUTIQUE | EST 2021 | PORTO – (eddiesklub.pt)

Rei da Gula, our favorite pizza from Gaia, has opened a new location in the heart of Porto. The new spot has a warm atmosphere, stellar service, and the same fantastic za, pasta, and salads. Muito obrigada amigos!

Gh Restaurant Cafe and Hostel is one of our latest finds in Cedofeita. Located in the center of the arts district on Rua Miguel Bombarda. Upon entering, one is greeted by a lovely bar area. There are rooms upstairs (It is also a hostel.) and an excellent restaurant downstairs. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and the cocktails are fabulous.

It is one of the best places in town for a drink and a nosh. Try the fish and chips or the steak tartare-delicious!

Another favorite place for dinner or a drink and snacks is Mind the Glass. It is downtown, around the corner from the U of Porto and Livraria Lello.

It is the perfect place to light after a hard day of seeing the sights of Porto. They have a superbly knowledgeable staff, a cozy patio, and a well-appointed dining room. Not to mention the outstanding food and drink.

And bonus, if you try a wine you love, you can take a bottle home.

Food, drink, and bottle shop all in one place. One-stop shopping.

There are so many great places to go, things to do and see in Porto, a cidade invicta! (The unconquered city.)

These were the highlights from the year from hell. As dreadful as it was, it wasn´t all bad.
But thank God it is over! Boas vindas 2024.

Onward and upward, we hope. And so we will say so long Porto, and hello Aveiro in 2024! From the unconquered city to the Venice of Portugal, a new adventure awaits!
