Casa do Livro

Once a bookshop, today a café/bar named Casa do Livro, or Book House. The name was inherited from the old space and the decoration almost makes us believe we're in an actual book store.

The Casa do Livro is at Galerias de Paris, in downtown Oporto. Its décor is a mix between classic and modern, with well-crafted details such as the chairs lined with gold and green cloth. The books are a part of the set and they're about to occupy the walls in the various rooms.

During the afternoon, Casa do Livro works as a coffee shop, and by night as a bar. A place where you can relax at the sound of background music, drink a cocktail, a cup of tea, buy some gourmet products or even see theatre plays and live concerts.

Fuji: the experience

In Portuguese and Spanish below 

The Fuji Restaurant is a japanese place that has already been mentioned in our blog. The team A Coffee In Oporto decided to try its take away service.

First we want to point out the sympathy and promptitude of this service. Once in the restaurant you can choose which sushi pieces you want, while having rice and prawn pasta also available. Each box costs 5€ except the rice box, which can be ordered for only 2,50€.

The food was definitely satisfying, the sushi is amazing and the ingredients have quality. It was a different meal that led us to become fans of this place.

Fuji is an economic option that is available for everyone. For only 5€/person we had a full and enjoyable dinner. The team A Coffee In Oporto believes you should most definetely visit this cozy little japanese restaurant, Fuji.

Rendez Vous

In Portuguese and Spanish below

You can find Rendez Vous in Rua Cândido dos Reis near the Galerias de Paris and it’s a club/bar. This bar is admittedly a rock space, with variatons of indie, garage and alternative.

Despite being small at first sight, in the floor below there’s a dance floor and a concert zone. In the main floor you find a small area where customers can sit down and enjoy a nice drink while listening to music.

The décor is one of the characteristic aspects of Rendez Vous. The walls transmit the identity of the bar, with guitars and posters of bands such as the Rolling Stones and Guns N’ Roses, for example. The mirror ball helps create ambiance. The lower part has a counter and an ideal wide space for dance nights.

Rendez Vous openly wants to remain at the forefront of rock music, making the connection between the classics and the current songs and bands. If you like to spend nights to the sound of rock we recommend a visit to this space.
