Verde Tília is divided in two inner spaces and an outter esplanade. The décor, at the responsability of João Paulo Jardim, is another important aspect. On the inside, the bright colors relax us, colors like the light green from the walls or the tables' white.

The first low cost bakery in Oporto opened up in January in broad Avenida dos Aliados. The name says it all: Low-Costa.Come, which is referred to the concept of food at low prices.

The prices couldn’t be more attractive: a cup of coffee costs 0.40€, a piece of cake is 0.50€ and a francesinha menu costs less than 4.00€. Low-Costa.Come has a wide variety of products and a pleasant space, allowing you to eat your meal right there.

In a time of crisis, this bakery couldn’t be more successful. The tables are almost always full and the payment line increases by the minute in certain moments of the day.

Besides the great location, at the top of Avenida dos Aliados, a touristic landmark of our city, Low-Costa.Come provides its clients the opportunity to eat a nice meal in a quiet and modern environment.

Within this context there are already five Low-Costa.Come bakeries in Portugal and it’s expected that this project will be extended overseas.

If you’re looking for a place for lunch or a snack without emptying your wallet, take a look at Low-Costa.Come and let yourself be delighted by its anti-crisis features.
