Brunchit
Directly from Spain to Porto, BRUNCHIT is making its debut in Portugal with the motto “Eat More Art”, making it “the most instagrammable and innovative of all brunches”.
Open since the summer, the space is located in the heart of the city, near the Bolhão Market. Open every day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., here you can enjoy the various brunch options at any time.
The menu includes salads, toasts, burgers, eggs and a wide variety of drinks, such as natural juices, cocktails, wines and coffee. There are also vegetarian and vegan options.
It should also be noted that BRUNCHIT is decorated with lots of color, neons and other props, so anyone who goes there will want to take pictures to post on social media.

Considered the best brunch in Lisbon by TripAdvisor, Seventh Brunch recently opened its first location in Porto.
With two floors and a terrace for summer days, there you’ll find a total of six menus (20-23€), one of which is vegan. You can also order à la carte.
Seventh Brunch is pet friendly and the decor is contemporary and creative, including some elements of nature.

At the Four Points by Sheraton Matosinhos hotel, very close to the beach, you’ll find brunch for the whole family at the recently opened Broadway ‘s Brunch.
This brunch is served in buffet format , only on Sundays, between 12:30 and 15:00, offering the classics of any good English breakfast and much more.

Part of the Nicolau group, Amélia Foz is located next to the beach in the Foz area of Porto and stands out for its sophisticated Parisian style.
There, you can find conventional dishes such as Pumpkin Risotto (€12) and Pancakes (€5), but also distinctive flavors such as the Chinese dish Chow Fun (€12) and the Israeli-inspired Sakshuka (€8).
To accompany the meals, there are several smoothies, juices with tropical flavors and cocktails.

Honolulu Food & Cocktails
We recently visited this place and left with a full stomach. The décor is welcoming and takes us straight back to warm temperatures; and that’ s something you feel,rain or shine. Of course, the concept revolves around Hawaii.
The menu stands out for its incorporation of typical Hawaiian products, which you won’t find just anywhere. Also noteworthy are the signaturecocktails, which are a real delight. We can’t wait until summer to enjoy the incredible terrace!
Where: Praça de Carlos Alberto 46
Comfort Cakes Porto
Comfort Cakes is one of the best places to have a delicious brunch in Porto and the surrounding area. With a beautiful garden made up of swings and dolls’ houses, the surrounding scenery is pleasant for an evening with friends.
Here, brunch is really well served, with a menu for two people costing 37.50€. And believe me, the price-quality ratio is really advantageous for those who go there.
However, don’t forget to book in advance so that you can enjoy a great program in the company of those you love the most (and with good food to boot!).

If you want to meet up with your friends outside Porto, but close by, then we recommend “O Gato Comeu-te a Língua”. With an establishment in Leça da Palmeira and another in Gaia, this is a good option for brunch.
With a specific brunch menu (17€), you can also choose from breakfast menus. There are also plenty of crepes, ice creams and waffles. We also highlight the welcoming, relaxed and instagrammable style, with lots of ‘kittens’ taking over the decor.
