Caçula

 In Portuguese and Spanish below

Caçula, in Praça Carlos Alberto can almost be mixed up with the history of Downtown Oporto. This restaurant was launched in 2005 and along with this change came a new concept.

Integrated in a four story building, Caçula has won a new image, marked by modernity, sophistication and bold design. The groundfloor room works everyday with menus at lunch and manu cards at dinner. The upper floors are normally used for group events.

Everyday there are three different menus: meat, fish and vegetarian. This restaurant puts inovation right next to the traditional dishes. The pizzas and the tapas are two of the reference points of Caçula that make the costumers come go back for more.

Stop by Caçula for lunch while in downtown Oporto, gourmet food at low cost pricesm with the average cost of 15€ per meal.

La Bohème

 In Portuguese and Spanish below

The new La Bohème presents a welcoming concept of gathering and sharing Entre Amis, offering a long list of wines, delicious tapas and a lot of music.

In the Galerias de Paris' street, La Bohème is known for being the best place within that street to enjoy a glass of wine. It's the ideal place to hang out with you work colleagues after a long day at the office, tasting a nice wine, snacking some tapas, and relaxing in downtown Oporto. In La Bohème you can also count on a pleasant music selection fitting the athmosphere of a work lunch, a quite afternoon or a meeting at the end of the day.

The image of the bar borns from the treatment of the walls and ceilings with different heights in wood of thin rind and pine floorboards' pavements. La Bohème is a space with peculiar personality, where its verbal identity inspired in the new french art suggested a visual approach built manually and materialized in an unique language. The visual and verbal environment of the impress suggests a casual but sophisticated, cosmopolitan universe, and yet welcoming.

Aduela

 In Portuguese and Spanish below

Aduela, a tavern launched last december, right across the Carlos Alberto theatre. It's not just a tavern, it's also a restaurant and it stands out for starring the portuguese culture.

There costumer may choose between several kinds of portuguese wines that are served by the glass. Aduela's cellar goes from Amarante's red white wine - which is served on a typical bowl - to Port wine. You won't find any beverages that are not characteristically portuguese, for the nationalist spirit of this tavern goes from the drinks to the food and even the decoration itself.

When it comes to the food service, the specialty passes though ham, sausage and pepperoni sandwiches, and also cheeses, toasts in bread from alentejo, tramontane or loaf. As you can see, typical portuguese products that every portuguese enjoys.

The place was decorated with old furniture, taking us back to a time when taverns were the most common place to grab a bite to eat. The chairs are actually bought in antiques stores.

Aduela is a perfect example of the true portuguese culture, a place which must be seen by international tourists so they can feel the nature of the country they're visiting, but also the portuguese ones, in order for them to feel home, even if theirs is far away.
