Restaurants and bars recommended

Go for drinks

If you’re looking going for a drink, the docks in both Gaia and Porto are very nice but became quite touristic now, drinks and food cost 2 times more than what more local places charge. To make it local and head to the area around Galerias de Paris. You can have a drink on the street it’s very animated. Portuguese go out late so starts around 10pm until the morning.
