Enjoy a day in Porto

[Kathy F.]

You arrive in Porto and have a day or two to spend. Let me suggest a WONDERFUL restaurant/bar across from the “Harry Potter” bookstore, the Lello Bookshop. This place is named “Clerigos Cervejaria” and is also near that giant Torre do Cleriigos.”

The staff is outstanding in their friendliness. They like pilgrims! Clayton makes a killer Caiperinha with special ingredients from Brazil. The lemon is mouth watering.

Manager Rachel, is very friendly and knowledgeable.

The facilities are clean, restful, and spacious, a wonderful place for a solo pilgrim (or more, I imagine) who just needs a place to relax and prepare for a long walk.

Highly recommended.

Thank you! Recommendations Alway welcome. Looked at reviews on TripAdvosor and they concur!

Okay, you need to try the local specialties, though! Love Brazilian food, but I’d rather go for a bifana or a francesinha when in Porto!

Another place I enjoyed twice was the Cafe Majestic. Very good food and friendly and helpful staff. I ate there before I started the Central Route and after two weeks, I was remembered when I ate there again.

Nice one, I fly in on Friday to start the central! Thx

I think they serve the Francesinha at this restaurant also but, since this the one also known as the “calorie bomb,” I went for a small, cold cerveza instead.

Hopefully they are still a happening. In 2015 my family and I joined "Porto Walkers" for an afternoon walk around that beautiful city before beginning our Camino the next day. Delightful and informative. And plan to spend a little while gazing at the blue tiles in the downtown train station. Bom Caminho.
