A flat in Porto

This is where you can eat Frenchies, drink a harbour or hit folk’s head with a hammer!…

I’m hungry! Walking down the street I look for a place to eat. There are several possibilities, if you take into account the fact that in Portugal there is one restaurant for each 131 inhabitants (375 per restaurant in EU). So the choice is rather big, and what I’d really like is one of those traditional, quite old, and rather messy Tascas.

Most of them are gone, now that more fashionable and neat places are available, and they might scare you off at start, with that odour of used frying oil or even wine turned vinegar… but don’t let yourself be put off: it is still worthy to go inside and try some of those typical, greasy treats we have in our Portuguese menu and be with the one side of the genuine Portuguese folks…

Be warned: Nothing really for the weak and frail…

Here are some of the places you can try (it might be handy to speak some Portuguese!)

  • “A Badalhoca” – R. Dr. Alberto Macedo (Ramalde)
  • Adega Leandro – Rua de Trás, 12, aos Lóios
  • Tasca O Alfredo Portista – Rua do Cativo, in Sé
  • Adega Quim – R. da Madeira, S. Bento Station

interested? Then you can find the existing 80 of them in the book:
