Placed in the heart of town, in a street with its name (Avis Street), Café Aviz é one of the landmarks of our city, not just for its five decades of existence, but also for the renowned francesinhas.

This dish is the highlight of the historical café, since the francesinha that's served here is seen by many as one of the best in the city. This coffee shop offers the possibility to taste this typical meal from Oporto in a calm and comforting on the inside as well as on the outside, in an outdoor space facing the Avis Street, which despite of being in the heart of the city is a secondary street with little circulation.

Café Aviz is also a nice place to have lunch or dinner with some friends. The game room, with pool tables, is one of the contributing factors to an agreeable socialization.

Besides being a restaurant and a coffee shop, Aviz is also a tearoom for what you can enjoy a relaxing moment, followed by a cup of tea on tables that inspire history and tradition.
