When travelling to a new city, one of your goals is to experience the culture in the best way possible. More often than not, culture shows itself through gastronomy - what the locals eat and drink, where they go for a coffee or a nice snack and what food feels like home to them.

However, it is easy to fall into the tourist traps, the commercialised version of local gastronomy, or even keep eating the same food from back home because you think it’s not worth the risk.

We do not want this happening to you the next time you visit Porto. The city is vibrant with colour and culture, and on every corner, there is a restaurant ready to offer you the typical delicious food of the area, locals are charming and ready to help you, and Porto wine will be a great companion to the beautiful Douro River.

Here is a guide on what and where to eat next time you travel to Porto.

For Breakfast/Brunch

Portuguese pastries are world-famous so, at breakfast, there is a lot to choose from. For a really typical Portuguese breakfast choose Padaria Ribeiro, try out the amazing croissants and other pastries, completing your meal with a nice shot of espresso.

If you are looking for your typical brunch location, head out to Zenith or the Lazy Breakfast Club. Both offer a perfect brunch menu filled with cocktails and a nice avocado toast with a great decoration and vibe.
