In Galerias de Paris we can find “Era uma vez em Paris”, a coffee house/bar created to continue the trip once started by “Era uma vez no Porto”.

The coffee has a very nice and modern space, the music is slow and the decoration really makes us feel like we’re in Paris.

So, due to all this, this bar is worth the visit and whoever visits it will be buying a round trip, because whoever spends a nice nigh in “Era uma vez em Paris” always feels obliged to return.

Located in Avenida dos Aliados, Boulevard is much more than just a bar. It was born from parties organized by four students of Oporto’s University of Nursing. After two years of work their goal was achieved and Boulevard was born, a mixture of coffee, bar and disco.

This place has much more to offer besides a night in the dance floor. From Monday to Friday its founding fathers organize themed nights that stand out for the atmosphere of social gathering.

The Boulevard stands for its dimension, having two floors where it can welcome 500 people. The first floor has more of a coffee shop environment, with chairs and perfect tables to spend a bit of time hanging out among friends; and the second floor is all about concerts and a great dance floor.

Aside from the drink service you can find in any regular bar or club, the Boulevard has also catering and pastry, which allows the costumers to enjoy their meal in the bar. The menu’s highlights are the francesinhas for 6.50€ and the hotdogs for 5.00€.

It’s a multitasking café, capable of serving meals, or provide room to have a nice conversation among friends and have fun till dawn, so if you’re looking for any of those things, Boulevard is a smart choice.
