Phenomenal food in Gaia

I’ve been to Padoca multiple times in the past year and love it every time! The pastries are fresh and delicious and the main dishes are so unique and stand out from other vegan options around. Their françesinha is so unique and delicious I love it. Very highly recommend!

Pros: Great service, Fresh pastries, Delicious menu

Cons: Parking can be difficult

The best Francesinha I ever had

I have tried several Francesinhas, but none were as good as this one. I highly recommend it! 😋😋😋

Great coffe and pastries

We had a coffee break there and the pastries where amazing. The coffee was good as well, however pastries really stood out. Even for non-vegans it is still of the beter bakeries.
The staff is friendly and joyful.

Pros: Pastries are amazing, Coffee is good, Staff is good and friendly

Padoca is a must-visit restaurant!

If you’re nearby VN Gaia, this is a mandatory trip. Everything on the menu is (vegan and) masterfully cooked/baked and delicious. Though a bit pricey to try everything, it’s so definitely worth it. I wish I lived next to it!

Pros: Fingerlicking baked goods, Great accessibility, Helpful staff

Cons: Moderately expensive

Crazy pastry options including typical ones!

This place has many pastries quite close to "the real thing". Sadly, idk if its just because of the day i went, but the sweet ones were just donuts (a lot of variety in them tho) :(( was looking for a more different/typical option like in the photos here, wasnt worth going there on purpose.
Still, i recommend the "bola de berlim" donut, that has a typical very light and accurate portuguese ""egg cream""
The paçoca donut was too sweet for me
Highly recommend the coffee latte with whipped cream, it was super fluffly and velvety which is not very common to find vegan
Delicious oreo hit chocolate, thyre whipped cream is rly amazing
I do find it amazing tho that they have tradicional portuguese SALTY pastries!!! That i didnt try, but they looked great. Like bread with chorizo and "lanches", good for a on the go snack

updates:
top francesinha ive had, the chicken flavour was insane
biscoff dessert was very fluffy and creamy but i was just too full already xD

Extraordinario

La comida, espectacular. Tomamos la francesinha (wow😄)y una burger de “pollo” y es imposible que estuviera mejor. Pero lo que más destacó fue la atención del staff, ante una noche con muchísima gente (mesas de 18 y 8), fueron súper profesionales, siempre con una sonrisa, con atención dedicada y profesional. Extraordinario.

Pros: Atención , Francesinha, Pastries

So so so so SO GOOD

Oh wauw. This restaurant was absolutely amazing. The staff was really friendly and gave us some recommendations, and those were so good. They were very passionate about the food and made us feel so welcome. The food was so super delicious. My partner and I still talk about it, months after visiting. This will be the first restaurant we will go back to when we visit Porto again, no doubt. Also a very queer friendly place, which I love. We took some treats to our apartment, some of the best savoury and sweets we've ever eaten. Not exaggerating ;-). Would definitely recommend!

Pros: Staff was really friendly, passionate and informed, Food was to die for , Queer friendly!

!!!…WOW…!!!

What an absolute gem of a place! Well worth visiting the other side of the river (& walking uphill) for 😉 Couldn’t decide what we liked best, because everything was equally amazing! The recommendations by our waiter were spot on 👌 He was very knowledgeable about the menu & just a great host. The starters, mains, sides, desserts - all were absolutely delicious! A great menu with veganized traditional Portuguese classics & regular worldwide favorites. We also got a lot of mouth-watering pastries to go. I cannot recommend this place enough. Can’t wait to visit again! 10/10.

Delicious surprise!!!

As a vegan myself, is usually really hard to find options, specially in bakeries.
We came across Padoca for an afternoon snack and this place was such a delicious surprise!!!
The only thing hard to find here is space in your stomach because you wish you could try everything!!!
The staff are super friendly and welcoming.
We will definitely return next time we visit the city.

THE best place in Porto!

This place is my new go to fav in Porto! It has masses of choice in terms of no meat and no chicken burgers, tortillas with fillings - the cheese n chorizo starter is a MUST - AND Vegan fransecinhos!!! Also more traditional dishes like soup, and meatballs with rice, beans etc. Added to that are friendly staff and good prices. You will NOT be disappointed to go here - I am currently considering coming back tonight for evening meal!!

Updated from previous review on 2024-05-30

Pros: Amazing, tasty versions of all the non-vegan favs!, Closes at 11pm so you can get lunch AND dinner!, Staff are super friendly and helpful

Tasty burgers 🍔 with incredible sauces

This spot is definitely worth checking out. We tried their soup, burgers, and wrap, and the flavors were amazing, proving that vegan food can be surprisingly tasty. We highly recommend stopping by. The staff was also extremely friendly. If you're in Porto, make sure to head to Gaia and experience their delightful menu.
