Extraordinario - Edit
La comida, espectacular. Tomamos la francesinha (wow😄)y una burger de “pollo” y es imposible que estuviera mejor. Pero lo que más destacó fue la atención del staff, ante una noche con muchísima gente (mesas de 18 y 8), fueron súper profesionales, siempre con una sonrisa, con atención dedicada y profesional. Extraordinario.

So so so so SO GOOD - Edit
Oh wauw. This restaurant was absolutely amazing. The staff was really friendly and gave us some recommendations, and those were so good. They were very passionate about the food and made us feel so welcome. The food was so super delicious. My partner and I still talk about it, months after visiting. This will be the first restaurant we will go back to when we visit Porto again, no doubt. Also a very queer friendly place, which I love. We took some treats to our apartment, some of the best savoury and sweets we've ever eaten. Not exaggerating ;-). Would definitely recommend!

!!!…WOW…!!! - Edit
What an absolute gem of a place! Well worth visiting the other side of the river (& walking uphill) for 😉 Couldn’t decide what we liked best, because everything was equally amazing! The recommendations by our waiter were spot on 👌 He was very knowledgeable about the menu & just a great host. The starters, mains, sides, desserts - all were absolutely delicious! A great menu with veganized traditional Portuguese classics & regular worldwide favorites. We also got a lot of mouth-watering pastries to go. I cannot recommend this place enough. Can’t wait to visit again! 10/10.

Delicious surprise!!! - Edit
As a vegan myself, is usually really hard to find options, specially in bakeries.
Read moreWe came across Padoca for an afternoon snack and this place was such a delicious surprise!!!
The only thing hard to find here is space in your stomach because you wish you could try everything!!!
The staff are super friendly and welcoming.
We will definitely return next time we visit the city.

THE best place in Porto! - Edit
This place is my new go to fav in Porto! It has masses of choice in terms of no meat and no chicken burgers, tortillas with fillings - the cheese n chorizo starter is a MUST - AND Vegan fransecinhos!!! Also more traditional dishes like soup, and meatballs with rice, beans etc. Added to that are friendly staff and good prices. You will NOT be disappointed to go here - I am currently considering coming back tonight for evening meal!!

Tasty burgers 🍔 with incredible sauces - Edit
This spot is definitely worth checking out. We tried their soup, burgers, and wrap, and the flavors were amazing, proving that vegan food can be surprisingly tasty. We highly recommend stopping by. The staff was also extremely friendly. If you're in Porto, make sure to head to Gaia and experience their delightful menu.

Delicious and helpful staff - Edit
Great varied menu. I had the franshisha sandwich which was how the meaty version is described. He couldn’t get over the bright green burger bun. Lots of options, salads, burger, pancakes etc. the window display of pastries is a wonderful sight. A complementary pasta de nata was a welcome treat between port tastings! Thoroughly recommend.

Amazing food and staff - Edit
I luckily passed by this restaurant by chance while wondering where would I find vegan food so late.
Read moreThis place attracted me with the donut based trap in the front window.
I had the Padini Moussrella e chourizo and Pate de Atum and a delicious Oreo donut.
The food was so good!
Best of all was the service by Teresa who was such a sweetheart, so attentive and professional. She definitely illuminates the place with her vibes.
Highly recommended.

Favourite place! - Edit
This gotta be the best vegan restaurant/bakery in the area. Everything is vegan and the menu is huge!
Read moreYou can find a wide variety of fresh baked goods, both sweet and savoury, traditional Portuguese sweets and pastries but veganized. There's also pancakes and waffles so it's a perfect for breakfast/brunch!
If you want to have dinner or lunch the food is also great, the Francesinha is amazing and one of the best ones in Porto.
I've absolutely loved eveything I've tried and I've gone a lot of times.
It also has birthday cakes (or any other cakes) by order.
The staff is super friendly!

A place where non-vegans can't even tell the difference - Edit
This place is steps from the metro station, has an incredible variety of sweet and savory pastries that needs quite a few coming backs to be able to try them all. I had a Padini de "Moussarela" e "chouriço", that was very delicious and a donut biscoff with ice cream, a nice warm and cold sweet that was also very tasty. Front staff was pleasant to talk to and being received and often acknowledged with a warm smile made me feel welcome. I made a point of going to the kitchen and personally thanks the staff behind the food I so much appreciated.
Read moreDefinitely must go back to try more pastries, brunch, the Porto Francesinha, etc.
