Confeitaria Portilho — Restaurant in Porto

Coffee was good, pasteis de nata was stale and cold. €3.20.

It has a bizarre setup and seating process, where two seemingly unrelated entrances are for different parts of the same business (coffees are ordered from the right entrance with the blue signage, the left entrance is some kind of formal restaurant area that looks like a factory canteen) - no way for anybody to tell, let alone avoid getting scolded by the daughter/granddaughter (?) of the owners. The floor around the outside seating needed sweeping of litter and cigarette butts. No toilet seat/lid on the toilet bowls in the basement, with confusing signs saying not to put paper in the toilet (where else does it go?!) caps off the most bizarre cafe experience ever.

In what bizarro universe this place gets a 4.5,...

Not a fancy establishment, but the staff is friendly and the location is a pristine location by the river. I would recommend visiting for breakfast or a midday coffee, but not for a more substantial meal. As with most places in Porto, cash is preferred but credit cards are accepted. Lots of pastries and small sandwiches with delicious espresso-based...

Ic and Flic spotted this little café as we wandered down the north side of the river towards the sea. Small inside but good pavement seating next to the tram tracks. Stopped for what we call our Croatian breakfast ... Americano and a small beer. 3 small beers, 3 coffees and a diet Coke for 9.40€. The boys also ordered a nata for 1.2€...yummy....
