Vegetarian restaurants in Porto

When you hear people say “You eat well in Portugal” believe them because it’s true. And that includes vegetarian options as well.

If you were in Porto a few years ago you might have been disappointed by the offer, but today it’s a different story. There are many blood-free kitchens all over the city, with hands making an honest effort to serve different, delicious and healthy dishes.

Ah, if you thought the typical francesinha was out of your options, think again. Below, we leave you places that serve vegetarian and vegan fracesinhas.
