Brunch in Porto

If you have been living in a deserted island until now, and you still don't know what a “brunch” is, we'll tell you, so you don't miss it. It is a late breakfast with more variety and complete options than a simple breakfast.

The word is an acronym of “breakfast” and “lunch” and it is exactly that, joining breakfast and lunch together in one meal. A highly recommended option if you want to start the day with just a coffee and then eat a more complete meal or, if you want to rest until late during your trip, and then jump from the bed directly to brunch.

In Porto, the Brunch offer has been well received and many places are proposing delicious dishes at attractive prices. In this list, we gathered some of our favorite places:
