Adega São Gonçalo — Restaurant in Vila Nova de Gaia

Good sandwiches and snacks served with love. Nice small family business visited by locals in a low income and old neighborhood. Graham's is near but the area is poor and old which adds to the atmosphere. If you would like to have snacks while chatting to locals and the owner and play with the neighbor's dog and cat in a completely relaxed environment, this is the place to be. Not easy to get there as you need to climb steep hills via narrow and confusing streets but it all adds to the experience in my opinion. True spirit of porto is very well reflected and captured in those narrow and winding...

For the ones who like real places made by true local people well, you won't wish anything else than this place. The couple who run the place is just lovely and the owner speaks really good English as well. Fantastic coppa and cheese. Wine was also really good, although I may suggest a more proper wine glass to taste it better :) I am Italian so. The coffee is also incredibly good, and as I have said, I am Italian.

Last but not least, all this for 8...

Found this place by accident and it was our favourite place to eat in Porto. Dear João, thank you for your hospitality and explaining the holiday and everything to us. We wanted to come back the next night but got stuck in traffic and didn't make it. But we will be back for more delicious food and wine...
