They have a menu lunch during weekdays which seems to be really worth it. I was there on a Saturday and ate one of the burgers which was really good and also the fries which came with it with some special seasoning!

Delicious - Edit
Very tasty and cheap food. There were some interesting and non standard dishes on the menu. I didn't try any pastries but from what I could see these looked amazing. Staff was very friendly and really took the time to explain different options. Would highly recommend going here.

The best vegan Burger I've had in my life - Edit
The Staff is super friendly and helpful. They show they really care about you. On your first visit you'll get a tour of their menu with recommendations. Take the recommended starter (mozerella chorizo) - I could've eaten that 3 times and would be satisfied for the day. There are fresh juices every day.

Best Vegan Casual Restaurant in the North - Edit
Padoca’s offer range will always get you covered either you go for breakfast, lunch, afternoon or dinner.
Read moreIt’s a perfect place to go with friends specially. The space is cozy, the staff are awesome people, you can bring your pets and the food is to die for.
I’ve tried plenty of dishes and my favorite is the francesinha. The best one I’ve had for sure. It’s a great one to bring a non vegan friend specially, the plant based replacements they use are so like what I used to have before I was vegan.
Their burgers are very creative too. I’ve not tried all, but Guloso is my favorite. Give Burguês a try as well.
You can have a very typical Portuguese breakfast vegan with their range of croissants, toasts and lattes. The Nutella No Milk Latte is my favorite. Can also get fresh made lovely pancakes or crepes.
At the end, you can always take home some donuts or other cakes from their store front. There’s so many it’s hard to choose from. Can find many veganized classics of what’s normally sold in non vegan stores in Portugal and even more.
All in all, I love this place and I’ve quickly become a regular. It’s a very nice place to spend some time while having great food and bring tomorrow’s breakfast home.
Pros: Great Food, Great Prices, Friendly Staff

Best Vegan Bakery in Porto Metro - Edit
Padoca Vegan Gaia truly stands out as the ultimate vegan bakery in the Porto area, in my humble opinion. Having explored several options (around five, to be precise), I can confidently say that this bakery surpasses them all in terms of taste and overall experience. Even if I weren't following a vegan diet, I'd still be drawn to this place for the sheer pleasure of their delicious offerings and generous portions at such reasonable prices.
Read moreWhether for lunch, dinner, a quick snack, or just a cup of coffee, my visits here have consistently been marked by friendly and authentic service. The flavors of their dishes are consistently delectable, and every bite feels like a celebration of taste. The real star, though, has to be their baked goods—each one radiates with freshness and pure deliciousness.
Discovering this hidden gem has been a culinary delight, and I can confidently say that you're in for a treat when you step into Padoca Vegan Gaia. Just like me, you'll find yourself enchanted by their flavorful creations and grateful for having stumbled upon this wonderful bakery. Your taste buds will thank you!
Pros: Delicious Food!, Lots of options!, Baked and cooked freshly!

Best vegan snack-bar ever - Edit
I was told for years that I should visit this place but I am not usually in Gaia! However me and my omni partner were close by so we decided to go and OMG, the food was out of this world! Some of the best vegan meats I had in ages! The cachorro and the Chourica were to die for and my partner couldn’t tell it wasn’t real meat! So bloody good and everything we had was delicious! The staff was mega friendly too and we can’t wait to go back!
