Truly Exceptional Vegan Culinary Experience in Porto - Edit
This was, without question, one of the most memorable meals of our trip to Portugal. The fully plant-based Portuguese tasting menu was a masterclass in culinary creativity—each dish thoughtfully crafted with passion, authenticity, and an incredible attention to detail.
Read moreFrom the welcome sip of Ferreira port (one of Portugal’s few Portuguese-owned port houses) to the final bite of their award-winning nata, the entire experience was unforgettable. The four starters—vegan codfish cake, fish açorda, Algarve-style carrots, and mushrooms in coriander and lemon—were beautifully balanced and full of flavor. Fresh bread accompanied these vibrant small plates perfectly.
The main dishes truly impressed: a comforting, balanced seafood rice and a rich, plant-based take on the iconic Francesinha that was nothing short of perfection. For dessert, the layered biscuit cake had lovely hints of coffee, and the airy, whipped “Heavenly Cream” was exactly that—divine. We were also lucky enough to try their vegan nata, and it absolutely lived up to the praise: silky, smooth, and utterly delicious.
Beyond the food, the service was warm and genuinely enthusiastic. The staff took time to explain each dish and share their deep love for Portuguese cuisine, which made the experience feel even more personal and special.
Every course reflected not just technical skill, but deep care and love for both the craft and the culture. I only wish I lived in Porto so I could return again and again. A must-visit for anyone who values food made with heart.
Pros: Authentic Portuguese flavours, Beautifully crafted dishes made with passion, Warm, knowledgeable staff

Dear DMGrant,
Read moreYour words truly touched our whole team! Thank you for such a thoughtful and generous review — it means the world to us to know that our Portuguese vegan tasting menu made such an impression on your trip.
Every detail you mentioned — from the açorda to the heavenly cream — is a tribute to our love for this cuisine and the belief that tradition and plants can go hand in hand. We're so happy you felt the care we put into every dish (and that our vegan nata lived up to its reputation! ).
We’d love to welcome you back anytime — and until then, thank you for sharing such kindness. You're always welcome at our table.
Warm hugs from Porto,
The Padoca team

Amazing Vegan Pastéis de Nata and Francesinha - Edit
I loved the experience! The pastéis de nata were amazing, with a crispy pastry and a deliciously creamy filling. The francesinha, a traditional dish from Porto, was also full of flavour and very well served. A great place to try Portuguese food in a vegan version. Definitely worth a visit!

Me encantaron los croissants rellenos - Edit
Me encantaron los croissants rellenos de Padoca. Probé el de Oreo, el de Biscoff y el estilo Snickers, y todos estaban deliciosos. Son suaves, generosamente rellenos y se nota que están hechos de forma artesanal y con mucho cuidado. El de Biscoff fue mi favorito, pero merece la pena probarlos todos. ¡Una visita imprescindible para los amantes de los dulces!

Hausgemachte Köstlichkeiten und fantastische Pastéis de Nata - Edit
Ich war begeistert von den Croissants bei Padoca! Sie sind sehr lecker, leicht und man merkt sofort, dass sie mit viel Sorgfalt zubereitet werden. Alles ist hausgemacht und wird direkt vor Ort hergestellt, was den Besuch noch besonderer macht. Auch die Pastéis de Nata sind einfach unglaublich: außen knusprig, innen cremig und geschmacklich köstlich. Ein Besuch lohnt sich auf jeden Fall!

We had the chocolate puff pastry slice and the chocolate cinnamon roll. Wow they were good! The chocolate in the slice splurged everywhere, but chocolate cinnamon roll was perfect.

Delicious vegan baked goods and pastries - Edit
Good place to enjoy vegan versions of traditional Portuguese baked goods, including Pastel de Nata. Service was a bit slow, hence only 4 stars.

Cozy Vegan Café with Great Coffee - Edit
A lovely fully vegan café with a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The coffee was excellent, and I also really enjoyed the filled cinnamon rolls as they were delicious.
Read moreThe service was very friendly and welcoming throughout my visit.
The only downside is that the prices are a bit on the higher side, especially for the dishes on the menu. Overall, it’s still a great place to stop for good coffee and tasty vegan treats.

Surprising vegan pastel de nata! - Edit
I visited A Padoca do Rosário this week and loved the experience. The atmosphere is super cozy, with charming décor that makes you want to stay longer than planned, and it's also great for lunch. I ordered the vegan pastel de nata and was really impressed: crispy pastry, creamy filling, just like the classic Portuguese version, but 100% vegan. I also tried a few traditional dishes and really enjoyed how they manage to reinvent classic flavors in a plant-based version. You can tell how much care they put into every detail, from presentation to service, which was very attentive. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to try something different in the center of Porto, whether vegan or not!

Experiência vegan portuguesa imperdível no Porto - Edit
Adorei a experiência! É muito difícil encontrar comida tradicional portuguesa em versão vegan, e na Padoca fazem isso de uma forma incrível. A francesinha estava maravilhosa, cheia de sabor e super bem servida — daquelas que dá vontade de voltar só para comer outra vez.

Perfeito - Edit
Adorei almoçar aqui! A comida típica portuguesa estava uma delícia. O "leitão" à Bairrada foi o meu favorito, estava maravilhoso e super saboroso. Também provei a francesinha e adorei, muito bem feita. Saí de lá mesmo satisfeito e com vontade de voltar. Uma dica: Provem o pastel de natal, é o melhor que eu já comi, e é tudo 100% vegan.

Friendly owner and so much to chose from - Edit
We came here for breakfast and were told that the breakfast menu was only available in the weekend so be warned for that. However, we were greated with so many pasteries to chose from, sweet and savory and all veganized portugese pasteries. Delicious! The coffee could have been a little better to be honest.
