Nope Pelmeni and Dumplings Bar | Cocktails, Craft Beer, Natural Wines, Chess and Board games — Restaurant in Porto

Loved this spot. The interior is striking—white square tile furniture with red grout that feels both minimal and bold. When the door flings open, the energy of the street rushes in and makes the whole space feel alive.

The cocktail list is sharp. A smart mix of classics and inventive remixes, nothing too precious, just well made. The food surprised me, in a good way.

Craving: cured. Heart: full. Mom: still the...

We came for lunch around 1PM, since we don't drink alcohol.i can't comment about the cocktails. The pelmeni (dumplings) were good, but nothing extraordinary. The person at the counter didn't seem to be happy to be working at all. Majority of games and books are in russian so not that fun either... I cannot make comments about the drinks and cocktails or the evening atmosphere, but for a weekend lunch place I would suggest many other places 10 minutes walking. Last... It is pet friendly so at least at lunch you can...
