Porto’s gastronomy is a reflection of its cultural richness. It is shaped by numerous stories and legends passed down through generations that continue to define the customs of the city's people today. Among the most famous delicacies, Porto's traditional dishes are characterized as much by their incomparable flavor as by their unique preparation methods.
During your stay, you will find countless spots and restaurants where you can taste Porto’s traditional dishes, such as the famous "francesinha," the historic "tripas à moda do Porto," or the classic "bacalhau à gomes de sá" (Gomes de Sá codfish).
If you prefer the comfort of dining at home, LF Apartments are fully equipped with everything you need to prepare your own meals.
To help you get started, here are a few of our personal suggestions...
On the ground floor (floor 0) of the building where LF Apartments are located, you will find a convenient supermarket. It is the perfect place to pick up fresh bread and pastries, seasonal fruits, local cheeses, and a variety of Portuguese wines, as well as any essential toiletries or household items you may need during your stay.
Opening Hours: 8:00 AM – 9:00 PM (daily)
Just across the street, right in front of the LF Apartments building, you will find the restaurant "Estrela do Oriente." In addition to serving complete and healthy breakfasts, they offer a variety of traditional Porto dishes. It is an excellent opportunity to try the famous "Francesinha"!
A visit to the historic Café Majestic is a journey back to the 1920s, offering a refined dining experience in one of the world's most beautiful cafés. It is located just a 10-minute walk from the apartments—simply head down the street until you reach Rua Santa Catarina. While the stunning Art Nouveau decor is captivating, the menu is equally impressive, featuring their famous "Rabanadas à Majestic", a rich Afternoon Tea, and local classics like the Francesinha. It is the perfect spot to experience Porto’s culinary elegance.
