Madan Padaria is, without a doubt, my favorite bakery in Porto! While Foz boasts an array of excellent bakeries that I adore, Madan Padaria holds a special place in my heart. As someone who came from San Francisco, sourdough bread reminds me of home, and this bakery perfectly captures that essence. They offer a variety of sourdough bread flavors, each one more marvelous than the last. I typically purchase 4 to 5 loaves, ask them to slice them, and then freeze them so my husband and I can savor them throughout the week.
Their cinnamon rolls are another delightful treat - simple, classic, and utterly delicious, without the addition of raisins or thick icing. These rolls sell out fast, and I consider myself lucky whenever I manage to get some.
The cheese bread is equally outstanding, a testament to the super friendly Brazilian couple who run this bakery. Their cheese bread is authentically Brazilian and incredibly tasty.
Madan Padaria is truly my happy place. Thank you,...

The staff are super friendly, and help this English speaker to learn proper Portuguese...
