Cerca Velha - Food & Drinks

Come for the food stay for the atmosphere.
This place is an oasis in the middle of a busy tourist area.
The food was simple awesome.

The place is located in a beautiful hidden street very Portuguese 😊
Good Portuguese food with affordable prices ❤

The most charming location - outside tables look onto a beautiful square - it only takes cash (which is slightly annoying) but worth it for good value drinks in such a pretty spot. Coffees were delicious.

If you’re looking to get lost in the twisted streets of Porto and then stop at a cute cafe - this is your spot. The street opens into a courtyard with Cerca Velha’s umbrellas in the corner.

We got two coffees. They only take cash so plan ahead. In between walking tours (the kind with local guides, not those with the large umbrellas) the courtyard is quiet and a great spot to read or enjoy the warm weather.

Cute hidden Place with not too many people! Great pasteis de Nata, warm and crispy.
My favorite place in Porto, I would definitely go again!

We found this place on the way down the hill from the cathedral. We got two bifanas, two waters and two espressos for under 15 euro. The bifanas were great, I loved the peppers in them. We sat outside in the most wonderful little courtyard. It was quiet, delicious and very affordable. I definitely recommend!

Lovely little spot tucked away on the streets of Porto. A lot of tour groups pass through by here, but it's a quiet retreat from the more open areas.

Stopped in for lunch, and was blown away by both the beautiful setting, as well as the delicious food. Bifana of Iberian pork was to die for. Sardines and salami sandwich were exceptional as well. Staff was friendly and inviting, and made me feel welcome even though I didn't speak the language.

Very friendly staff and a calm, lovely atmosphere to sit both inside and on the plaza outside. The sangria was so delicious and refreshing, and we really enjoyed the cheese and meats board, bread, and olives for an affordable and tasty lunch.

Great little quiet place. Had a local draft beer and 3 snacks, all different shapes and tastes, delicious for a snack. And very inexpensive. Cash only.

Favourite cafe in Porto! An excellent small cafe / bar to relax in whilst taking a break from the hills. It feels cosy despite being right in the middle of the city. Very friendly team and the beer, wine, meat and cheese are all excellent and good prices.

Order at counter style with great siting in a cute small square.

Cozy little spot with a nice view. We tried the Porto Tónico - port wine with tonic. Very refreshing, like a spritz.

Cosy spot in one of the pedestrian hill street not far from the cathedral ⛪. It's mainly for drinks and quick bite, however I did have lunch here (salami, cheese, sardines 🧀 🐠). The guy who runs it, is very nice and welcoming.

What a find! A true haven't in a busy city, we returned a second time. Lovely waitress, delicious food and drink (great Bifana), just perfect.

Nice place in historical centre of Porto.

3 euros for glass of port wine.

They have a couver on menu but we did not have to pay it as we didnt have bread or olives.

They do not accept cards.

The most amazing place in Porto! Christiano is a true host. He made us feel at home and has become a friend. The atmosphere and location cannot be beat. Please do not miss this!!

Stumbled upon this little gem on the way down to the river. Great prices for food and drink in a cute and quiet courtyard. Service excellent and super friendly too.

We went here on a rainy day but it was no problem to get a table for three. The waiter was friendly and helpful in recommending us Port wine that would go well with our tapas. We enjoyed our time so much that we stayed for another round of drinks. Highly recommend this place.

Perfect little cafe to stumble upon - 1 euro espressos, 2 euro beers and lots of snacks/sandwiches/cakes. CASH ONLY
