About Café da Praia
Lunch or dinner at Café da Praia lands somewhere most Porto restaurants have long since left behind: proper comfort food at prices that still make sense. The francesinha is what people return for, visit after visit, and the desserts — made in-house — close out a meal the right way. Portions are generous, the room is quiet and unpretentious without being rough around the edges, and the wine arrives in proper glasses. The owners greet everyone as if they already know them, which, for much of the local crowd in Salgueiros-Miramar, they do.
Café da Praia is one of those places where the dessert menu is not an afterthought — a detail regulars tend to mention first.
