What’s inside the guide
We spent years eating our way through Porto to make this guide. Every place is personally visited, loved and chosen by us — no paid spots, no ads.
Inside you’ll find:
• 130+ restaurants, wine bars and hidden gems
• 50 more places than the previous edition
• Neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood layout for quick planning
• Local favourites including petiscos, tascas, bakeries, elegant bistros and Michelin picks
• Must-try dishes and honest insider notes
• Our 10 must-dos in Porto
• Anecdotes, stories and tips you won’t find anywhere else
It’s the guide we wish travellers had. One that helps you feel the real city, not just visit it.
Who we are
We’re two food-obsessed locals who’ve spent years eating our way through Porto. We love good petiscos, long lunches, tiny tascas, wine bars and the kind of neighbourhood places that feel like home.
Every spot in this guide is somewhere we’ve personally visited, loved and returned to. Often many times. We don’t take money from restaurants and we don’t add places we don’t truly enjoy.
This guide is simply us sharing the Porto we know and love.
