Eat Like a Local (Again!): Your Essential Guide to Porto's Evolved Food Scene
The Petiscos
And just like that, we're back with more recommendations! After a successful first edition and trial run, we've been hungry to give you more and keep our guide truly up to date. We're incredibly proud to announce the official launch of the second edition of our Porto food guidebook! The first edition quickly sold out, and it's been truly humbling to see how much this project has been loved by both locals and tourists. Your enthusiasm for discovering Porto’s culinary corners encouraged us to dive back in, leading to this expanded and refined guide to help you truly "eat like a local" and forget the tourist traps.
Why the Second Edition of "A Good Petisco is A Beautiful Thing" is Your New Culinary Compass
In a city brimming with choices, knowing where to find those hidden gems and truly authentic flavours can be a challenge. That's where our updated guide comes in. "A Good Petisco is A Beautiful Thing" is meticulously crafted to be your indispensable companion, ensuring every meal is an unforgettable journey. We've done the groundwork, sifting through countless Porto restaurants to bring you only the very best—from traditional tascas serving up generations-old recipes to modern bistros pushing culinary boundaries.
What's new in this edition? We've added around 50 new restaurants, bringing you a total of 130 of our favourite spots to explore. This includes a dedicated new section just for Wine Bars, allowing you to easily discover the best Porto wine bars for a perfect glass.
We've also expanded our horizons to include some fantastic world cuisine restaurants, featuring the best examples of Asian cuisine and other global flavours – a new addition we're very excited about! And, of course, we've updated everything; we've removed a few places that have unfortunately closed down over the past year and refined others, ensuring all recommendations are current and truly loved. Whether you're seeking authentic Porto food, local food Porto, or Porto hidden gems, this guide has you covered.
Your Gateway to Authentic Porto Dining
Our mission remains simple: to connect you with the real taste of Porto. And critically, this book has not been sponsored. Most of the restaurants mentioned here genuinely do not know they are featured. We like to keep our guide unbiased, yet at the same time, extremely biased because we truly love every single place we recommend. This makes us a truly independent Porto guide.
With "A Good Petisco is A Beautiful Thing," you're not just getting recommendations; you're gaining access to a curated collection of local favourites, ensuring every bite is authentic and every memory cherished. Now back in stock, available in print and as an instant e-book download, your next incredible meal in Porto is just a click away.
