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

Friendly owner and so much to chose from - Edit
We came here for breakfast and were told that the breakfast menu was only available in the weekend so be warned for that. However, we were greated with so many pasteries to chose from, sweet and savory and all veganized portugese pasteries. Delicious! The coffee could have been a little better to be honest.

Great Portuguese pastry - Edit
Exceptionally tasty vegan pastel de nata along with other traditional Portuguese pastries.
Read moreThe service is a bit slow and confused though. We originally came for a hot meal but the kitchen was closed - and there was no way to learn this beforehand. Still, had a great time and definitely recommend

Leckere Süßspeisen aus der Auslage, abweichende Öffnungszeiten & nicht vorhandene Speisen. - Edit
Ich war an 2 verschiedenen Tagen hier, weil die Süßspeisen aus der Auslage wirklich lecker waren.
Read moreAllerdings stimmen die Öffnungszeiten nicht wirklich (man sollte erst ab 9:30 Uhr oder besser 10 Uhr hingehen).
Einige Gerichte (um genau zu sein 5), die ich angefragt habe, waren nicht erhältlich, sodass ich mir dann eine Empfehlung geben lassen habe.
Ich bekam ein Avocadobrot mit Käse, Pilzen & Spinat.
Geschmacklich war das auch wirklich gut, aber das Brot war leider ziemlich hart.
So wie ein Brötchen vom Vortag, das noch mal erwärmt wurde.
Ich habe bei den ersten Versuchen, es zu schneiden, einiges vom Belag heruntergeworfen.
Der Schoko Cappuccino & Pastel de Nata waren dafür wirklich sehr lecker, genauso wie die Süßspeisen der Auslage.
Das Personal ist sehr freundlich.
Leider empfinde ich die Preise als überteuert, einiges bekommt man in anderen Veganen Restaurants & Cafés im Durchschnitt um die 5€ günstiger.
Ich fand es jedoch toll, dass man auch hochwertige Schokolade aus der Auslage kaufen kann.

Fresh and Tasty food, many choices of sweet pastry. We were there at 9.30 AM and the place was empty. Unfortunately they had no tea available only after an hour it was delivered but then not fresh only a tea bag.

Everything was delicious, my boyfriend loved the eggs Benedict, I really enjoyed my salad. They have many baked treats, it was impossible to choose. We ended up taking both the cinnamon and pistachio rolls to go! 😋

Try the egg! - Edit
I'm so glad I came here! I have not had a vegan egg before and it was perfect - if it didn't say everywhere that everything is vegan, I would have been suspicious of this egg. There are so many options, but the server helped me decide and I was really happy with my choice. The nato was super delicious, too. Great vibe and I wish I lived closer to Porto!

Disappointed but friendly staff :) - Edit
I came here for breakfast. The croissants didn’t look light and crispy, but I still tried a savory one filled with cheese, seitan, and tomato. The seitan was okay, but I didn’t like the cheese. Overall, the taste was fine, but I wouldn’t come back for the food.
Read moreI also tried the juice with orange, carrot, and ginger, but I think they were out of ginger because I couldn’t taste it at all.
The interior of the cafe is nice. Unfortunately, there is no back ground music so it's not very cosy.
The boy who helped us was very friendly! He told us he has been vegan for six months. I would come back for his kindness, but unfortunately not for the food.

Good - Edit
Had a large variety of pastries and sweets. I went for the brigadeiro croissant and it was just okay. Coffee was nice, service was good. This would’ve been a 3 star review has it not been for the pastel de nata I decided to takeaway upon leaving. Very very good, 100% must visit for the natas alone.

Great for breakfast - Edit
When we arrived they didn’t have many things left, but I wanted to try the pastel de nata so it was alright.
Read moreWe tried a snickers croissant that was yummy and the pasteles de nata were warm and great as well. We tried a pizza with soy meat (I think) and it was really good.
The menu wasn’t exactly exciting but I think it’s just the seasonal menu.
The staff was really nice.
