Piolho

Stopped here for brekast after our visit to Livraria Lello book shop. Lovely cafe for Pastel de nata and a coffee we sat outside and had great views of the cathedral, although the hoardings from the metro work were a little in the way

Great place to learn a bit about Porto history and the waiters are happy to talk about it. Food was good, coffee was also good. You can go with a group since they have a big room and can accommodate groups. The most funny part was the paper placemat. You need to go and check it out to understand. 😅 I highly recommend if you are visiting Porto to have a coffee and/or try “francesinha”.

Busy place, we went in a group, it was around 11pm at night. We were served very well. We ordered some salads and drank drinks and beer. It was crowded in front of the establishment, but inside there were no customers. Busy place, we went in a group, it was around 11pm at night. We were served very well.

Excellent portuguese food and drink at very reasonable prices, just in front of Oporto University. Local friends recommended this to us and they were right: a place popular with locals. Try the francesinha (unless you are VERY hungry, one of them feeds two) and other popular dishes on the menu. Excellent house wine.

A cafe having a great history in the city which served the college students during the old times is a symbol of democracy in the city. Although I did not eat here, the history of this place should be known to the people who visit the city.

Excellent and warm welcoming staff. A bit too relax and lay back philosophy but, it's notbreally a a touristic place. Great food and good wine too, although not a wide variety

Nice spot. Great Portuguese food. The Francesinha was excellent at a fair price, cheap beers and fantastic Bifana meat, shame there was no roll with the meat. Caldo Verde also good. Staff didn’t speak much English but provided a great service regardless. Would attend again.

It's a really good place to take a break and recharge with a coffee. We loved the views around as we sat on the patio in the front. We had a server come up and bring us our order. We didn't try the food so we can't comment on that, but other reviewers seemed to have really enjoyed their dishes.

An authentic Portuguese setting. It's in the heart of historic (but never too old) Porto. The local is historical and with cultural interest. Over the years it has always been a meeting place for students of any faculty that today, years later, we get together to remember the old days bringing gifts to the house that welcomed them at a young age. The waiters are tireless, but always friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is typical. The place looks chaotic but you can always find your own peace of mind. The cheerfulness and joviality are not lacking. The kitchen, which is open until late at night, serves typical dishes of good quality at very low prices. Nothing else to add: a historical place that you absolutely must visit. Because Porto's places of interest are hiding even in places like this.

It's a lunch house located in old Porto. You are here for the experience and not for Michelin star food...Personally liked the setting very very Portuguese old style buildings to savor when you sit outside. Felt like this is the hangout for students and very lively ambience. Service as you would expect not phenomenal but just right for the setup. You are there to hangout with friends and not service. We started with soup and Samosa, delicious. Soup (2 euro)was potato and cabbage base with salt and pepper. Samosa (1 euro)was small and just about right with crunchy wrapper and lightly spiced meat and vegetable stuffing. We got the special of the day pork rib, rice and fries, (6 euro) oh my the portion size no wonder students frequent this place. We also got the fried cod. Not much to rave about food, but simple, tasty and satisfying. We also had two glasses of red wine, total cost euro 23.40. Just look at the pictures I would say totally worth for a stop during your touring hike for refueling. Would definitely visit again.
