👍👍 A beautiful and quiet little family-run restaurant, not too far off the busy Gaia Port House waterfront. Great spot for a quiet and intimate lunch, snack and/ or drink.

Porto Augusto's
Winery
👍👍 If you want to support local, family-owned, small and independent business (rather than the big, foreign-owned ones), make sure to visit this Porto maker. Because of their size, they do not compete with the big brands on the first line of the river boulvar - but, man, it's so worth to step into a na...

Scenic spot
👍👍 A bit of a climb up to the top, but nothing too strenuous for most, you can get great views of Luis bridge, the Douro river and Porto from this vantage point. If you don't feel like walking up, you can pay for a vehicle to take you up. The elevated spot is close to the bridge and definitely worth...

👍👍 This is by far my favourite place in Porto - a true hidden gem. I loved the coffee, the cake, the amazing view (if you stay at the window), but the most, I adore the family and the cosy vibe. I hardly resisted not to hug everyone out there. It is a family business and I remained impress by the atti...

👍👍 It has a quiet local restaurant atmosphere rather than a tourist restaurant. It is run by a grandmother, and it was impressive to see a lot of pictures drawn by her grandchildren with crayons hanging on the walls. Grilled sardines, grilled sea bass, cod croquettes, and bacalhau dishes. All the food...
