For travellers who care about what they eat

A guide written at the table,
not at a desk.

We spent years eating our way through Porto so your trip starts on the right plate from day one.

No paid spots

Restaurants can’t buy their way in. Every place is somewhere we eat, love and return to.

Planned by neighbourhood

Organised by neighbourhood, so you always know where to eat next — wherever you’re standing.

From tascas to Michelin

Petiscos counters, bakeries, brunch cafés, wine bars and starred dining — the full spectrum.

Made to keep

The print edition comes with a food dictionary and pages for your own notes and memories.

Who we are

Two food-obsessed locals. One honest guide.

We live in Porto and we’ve spent years eating our way through it — long lunches, tiny tascas, wine bars and the neighbourhood places that feel like home.

We don’t take money from restaurants and we never add a place we don’t truly enjoy. Every spot in this guide is somewhere we’ve visited, loved and returned to — often many times.

This is simply us sharing the Porto we know and love.

Questions travellers ask

Before you order.

What’s the difference between the print and eBook editions?

The print guide is a keepsake — beautiful paper, a food dictionary and space for notes, shipped from Portugal. The eBook is a mobile-friendly PDF with a clickable Google Maps link for every spot, downloaded instantly to any device.

Why should I trust your recommendations?

We don’t work with restaurants and we don’t take money or invitations. Every place is somewhere we’ve personally visited and returned to. If we don’t love it, it’s not in the book.

Does the eBook work offline?

Yes. Once downloaded you can read it offline anytime. The Google Maps links open as soon as you have a connection again.

How long does shipping take?

We ship from Portugal: 1–3 business days within Portugal, 3–7 across Europe, 7–12 for the rest of the world.

Is it useful for a short trip?

Very. The guide is organised by neighbourhood, so you can plan every meal in minutes — even if you only have two or three days in Porto.

Can I ask you for personal recommendations?

Yes — reply to your confirmation email or write to info@thepetiscos.com. We live in Porto and love helping travellers eat well.
