Truly Exceptional Vegan Culinary Experience in Porto - Edit
This was, without question, one of the most memorable meals of our trip to Portugal. The fully plant-based Portuguese tasting menu was a masterclass in culinary creativity—each dish thoughtfully crafted with passion, authenticity, and an incredible attention to detail.
Read moreFrom the welcome sip of Ferreira port (one of Portugal’s few Portuguese-owned port houses) to the final bite of their award-winning nata, the entire experience was unforgettable. The four starters—vegan codfish cake, fish açorda, Algarve-style carrots, and mushrooms in coriander and lemon—were beautifully balanced and full of flavor. Fresh bread accompanied these vibrant small plates perfectly.
The main dishes truly impressed: a comforting, balanced seafood rice and a rich, plant-based take on the iconic Francesinha that was nothing short of perfection. For dessert, the layered biscuit cake had lovely hints of coffee, and the airy, whipped “Heavenly Cream” was exactly that—divine. We were also lucky enough to try their vegan nata, and it absolutely lived up to the praise: silky, smooth, and utterly delicious.
Beyond the food, the service was warm and genuinely enthusiastic. The staff took time to explain each dish and share their deep love for Portuguese cuisine, which made the experience feel even more personal and special.
Every course reflected not just technical skill, but deep care and love for both the craft and the culture. I only wish I lived in Porto so I could return again and again. A must-visit for anyone who values food made with heart.
Pros: Authentic Portuguese flavours, Beautifully crafted dishes made with passion, Warm, knowledgeable staff

Dear DMGrant,
Read moreYour words truly touched our whole team! Thank you for such a thoughtful and generous review — it means the world to us to know that our Portuguese vegan tasting menu made such an impression on your trip.
Every detail you mentioned — from the açorda to the heavenly cream — is a tribute to our love for this cuisine and the belief that tradition and plants can go hand in hand. We're so happy you felt the care we put into every dish (and that our vegan nata lived up to its reputation! ).
We’d love to welcome you back anytime — and until then, thank you for sharing such kindness. You're always welcome at our table.
Warm hugs from Porto,
The Padoca team

Melhor restaurante vegan no Porto - Edit
O atendimento é top, rapazes simpáticos e muito bonitos!
Read moreFicamos bastante supreendidas com o sabor e textura da francesinha, as bolinhas de "bacalhau" e com "queijo da serra" eram divinais e o croissant (para quem não gosta de folhados) vai gostar deste! Recomendo a 100%

It's a fantastic place for breakfast, brunch, lunch or even a snack.

I can very warmly recommend this place and I would love to go back and try the rest of the menu one day!

A must for vegans in Porto! - Edit
Excellent vegan options! Fully vegan cafe with a large selection of both sweet and savoury breakfast/brunch/lunch options. We went for breakfast and split two pastries - the spinach & ricotta pastry and the chocolate hazelnut croissant. We also took some pastel de nata to go. All were fantastic! Wish we had room for more. This is a must for vegans in Porto!
Read moreOnly thing to note is that their instagram said their hours were from 9:00 each morning, but they opened at 9:30 when we were there
Pros: Wide selection , Fresh pastries , Friendly staff
Cons: Juice was a bit bland

Melhor pastelaria vegan de Portugal! - Edit
Tudo de-li-ci-o-so!! Tosta de ovos benedict, folhado de espinafres e ricotta… de salivar. E terminar com uma bola de berlim com creme… de chorar por mais! Enquanto não abrem em Lisboa, vou passando uns fins-de-semana no Porto de propósito para comer estas delícias veganas.

Muito obrigada, Sara!😄Que comentário delicioso de ler — ficamos radiantes em saber que considera a nossa pastelaria a melhor de Portugal! É uma honra receber quem vem de propósito de Lisboa para saborear as nossas delícias veganas. Enquanto não chegamos aí, será sempre um prazer recebê-la no Porto para muitas mais tostas, folhados e bolas de berlim memoráveis.

Opciones originales y ricas - Edit
Referente a bebidas pedimos un ice tea, que resulto ser una mezcla de matcha, limón y canela, no nos resulto una mezcla para nada apetecible. Y al acabar de comer como no lo tomamos no nos lo cobraron; lo cual nos resulta un detalle muy bueno. No trabajan con marcas comerciales, sino que te ofrecen opciones como fritz kola, y además te dan una botellita de agua de cortesía, todo esto en lo personal suma puntos.
Read moreTambién probamos la francesinha, si te gusta lo picante y salado, es un plato ideal, además de abundante. Luego comimos un trozo de empanada relleno de salchicha, cebolla y maíz, estaba bien pero nos resulto un poco caro para lo que es, por ese precio hubiéramos probado otra cosa de la carta.
Y para acabar de postre pedimos una berlina de crema, estaba buena sin más, y un pastel de nata, este si que nos resultó el mejor pastel de nata que hemos probado hasta la fecha.
APADOCA
Muchas gracias, Sol! Nos alegra mucho saber que encontraste opciones originales y ricas, y que el pastel de nata fue todo un éxito para ti — ¡qué honor que lo consideres el mejor que has probado hasta ahora! También agradecemos mucho tus comentarios sobre las bebidas, la empanada y los precios; tus observaciones nos ayudan a mejorar y seguir afinando detalles. Esperamos recibirte de nuevo para que sigas descubriendo más de nuestra carta.

chill place - Edit
the place is chill. the service is sweet. unfortunately the bakery isn’t what i was expecting. especially pastel de nada was not close to what i was expecting.
Read morebut let’s see other places.
Pros: service is good
Cons: too much oil in food, to much fat, too sugary, not much taste
APADOCA
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback, Garonse 💚 We’re glad you enjoyed the service and felt the vibe was chill, but we’re truly sorry our pastries — especially the pastel de nata — didn’t meet your expectations. We’ll take your notes about oil, sweetness, and flavor seriously, as we’re always looking to improve. Hopefully we’ll have the chance to surprise you more positively in the future!

Friendly staff, tasty food - Edit
Portuguese people are friendly anyway but the gang here were super nice. We had questions about how they made some of their food (because it was so tasty) and they were happy to answer.
Read moreTheir reputation for the best pastel de nata makes sense, it’s amazing! We went twice while we were on holiday in Porto, first just for baked goods, then we went for lunch and picked up some of their calzone to take to the airport with us.
Top marks
Pros: Tasty, Friendly, Happy to talk about their recipes
Cons: The ragu was pretty salty (very tasty though)
APADOCA
Thank you so much, Nedwyn! 💚 We’re delighted you felt so welcomed by our team and enjoyed both our pastries and lunch dishes — and it makes us extra happy to know you even took a calzone with you to the airport! That’s such a compliment. Thanks also for the note on the ragu; we’ll keep an eye on the saltiness. Can’t wait to welcome you back next time you’re in Porto!

Great options, but a bit dry - Edit
There was a lot of choice of sweet and savoury foods in the counter. I don't know if they had anything else available.
Read moreI went on my own, hadn't finished my drink or paid, went to the toilet, and they cleared my table before I came back. The struggles of being on your own!
Pros: Good selection
Cons: Pastry was quite heavy and dry, Expensive drink, 5 Euro Karma Kola
APADOCA
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Sarah! 💚 We’re glad you enjoyed the variety of options, but we’re really sorry to hear about your table being cleared too soon — that shouldn’t have happened, especially while you were still enjoying your drink. We’ll definitely pass this on to the team. As for the pastries and drinks, we appreciate the honest feedback and will keep it in mind to improve. We’d love to welcome you back for a smoother and tastier visit next time!
