Praia do Ourigo


Bar Praia do Ourigo is a very beautiful restaurant. The view is to the spectacular Foz do Douro. You can have a meal or just go for a cup of coffee. In either case, you'll enjoy a very peaceful time.

It is located in Esplanada do Castelo, Praia do Ourigo in Foz do Douro (that is to say here).

Plano B


"Plano B" represents the most brilliant combination of culture, nightlife and architecture in Europe. Built under the most innovative concepts, it holds conferences, talks, art and design galleries, dance and original theatre plays, cinema and concerts from jazz to rock or electronic music. It is also one of the best spots in Porto to taste a wise selection of quality wine, coffee or cheese. A multicultural place, with relaxed environment, located on an historical part of town: here.

For more information on Plano B, you can visit its website or its blog.

Contagiarte

A quite interesting and somehow different bar. The "Contagiarte" is the perfect match between nightlife and art.

Here is the location.

Bar - Maus Hábitos

The bar "Maus Hábitos" (which means Bad Habits) is right in front of "Coliseu". It is a really trendy bar, with a modern and cosmopolitan atmosphere. But specially, a really relaxed atmosphere. If there is no free places to seat, people just seat on the ground.

The bar has several different areas and atmospheres. There are always expositions, concerts, parties and activities related with art, because this is meant to be a cultural place. There is also a terrace with table and chairs. Perfect if the weather allows...

A really relaxed place with an amazing atmosphere. A must...

You can find the location here.

Some bars and cafés in Foz

The best Caipirinha in Porto and great brazilian music are in Foz in:

Avenida do Brasil, nr 217
Porto

But for nice refreshments during the afternoon, there is the café at the "Praia Homem do Leme".

For the afternoon and the evening, the "Praia da Luz" is a nice place as well.

Restaurants - Zé Bota and Papagaio

After the more expensive restaurant, here go the affordable places.

Traditional portuguese food in affordable restaurants in the center of Porto (by Leões):

Restaurant Zé Bota
Travessa do Carmo 16/20, Porto

Restaurant Papagaio
is right by Zé Bota.


Restaurant - Portucale

One of the best restaurants in Porto, with an amazing view over the city:


It can be a bit "heavy" on the wallet, depending on what you order, so beware :-) Worth every penny though.
