A dream of place.

A dream of place.
Inaugurated in 1921 and frequented by writers and artists of the time.

The decoration and furniture have been kept, the place is a return to the past.
The coffee is wonderful and the french toast is like no other.
There is a waiting list and prices are high, but it is worth it to know.
Loved it.

The cause of this place is a traditional high class establishment where the visited place may provide one with a class status. In today's words: totally outdated. If you are on a boat cruise like we know from the upper class deck in the "Titanic" movie. I see personel in white uniforms, but without being aware of their role, and especially not being trained in any way to play this role. If they would be playing this role, then it would have been an experience. It seems the owner has forgotten what he wants with this establishment. A lack of any experience and authenticity. It is a place free from the younger generation. Maybe that is the reason why they still have an audience from older people. No offence, people are free to make their choice. It is only an observation of coming by this place for several times.

Coffee with charm. One of the oldest coffees in Portugal. When you enter the back there is a staircase to go to a small patio. There are always many people mainly tourists. Outside there is a terrace. There the coffee is more expensive as 2 or 3 euros but it is worth it because it is very nice inside. You can eat, have a drink, drink a tea. The decoration is wonderful. Lovely. When you go to Oporto, it is a mandatory stop to go there

It is majestic, from the way it looks, to the food and drinks. Get the hot chocolate, you will not regret it, it will be the best you will ever have. The chocolate cake and cheese cake are also great choices if you are hungry.

Nice place to go for breakfast; the place is beautiful, the food is good, and coffee is average. Mid priced in comparison to the rest of Porto but worth it if you have time to sit and relax. The place is crowded so arrive early if you're going for breakfast.

Classically decorated and very charming place. Worth visiting in the late afternoon for that relaxing tea. We finished the RABANADAS, head car of the house and simply marvelous. The last star was left out because of the cappuccino that could improve a lot.

Spectacular art-deco coffee in the center of Porto. From the architectural point of view it is incredible, but it has a "but" that can be important: the prices. A mineral water of half a liter is 4.5 euros, a coffee with milk 6 euros, a hamburger 16 euros (although it is good), a salad Caesar 18 euros. It is true that you are paying to be in that emblematic place, but it can be a bit excessive. I would give 4.5 stars.

Majestic place, as the name implies. Prices are high which indicates that almost 100 years later this place continues to serve a very specific and select audience. Anyway, it is worth stopping by to try the delicious french toast.

We stayed in this place for the name and the famousness of the bar. The staff very kind but in my personal opinion I do not accept and I share the idea of paying for two croissants and two coffees that have nothing to do with the name about 20 euros and 'unheard .. the bar is beautiful with a particular style and the croissant was good, but I would not go back

Its a beautiful place with smart design, staff know what they are doing, the Rabanada was good quality,
But Im not satisfied for the value of the coffee We paid 5 for a small cofee, these guys have put the design like a trap for charging you 5 times of the common price, if you walk 5 min there many places which the same quality 1/5th of this price.

Worth a visit when in Porto for the decor, personally I don't rate the food or cocktails, the steak sandwich being quite poor, served with undercooked chips yet very pricy, 1 sandwich and 2 cocktails (between 2 people) was the most expensive 'meal' we had out in our whole time in this lovely city

It s 10h47 in the morning , we have been standing in front of the cafe and the staf with no smile and no hello waved at us for the second time to come back in 10 minutes... in this covid situation you would think they would be happy to open on time and have costumers

The architecture is great, very nice early 20th century building. Besides that not very good. Food was just ok at best. Fried eggs were cold, coffee was average at best and expensive at that (5 for a galao!!!)The quality vs cost was terrible. Overpriced, overhyped. There are tons better places for a good coffee and breakfast in Porto. For 2 people and mediocre food and mediocre service it was 40. Typical tourist rip-off. Will never go back.

Very good the french toast, the best I have ever eaten without a doubt. But today, 8/4/2019, it costs 6 and a coffee was 5 , at least the cup was great. Very cozy and beautiful environment. There was a person playing the piano, very nice. They did not charge for the service nor cover art. I would go again just to eat another french toast.

A beautiful, ancient and emblematic site that introduces you to the magical atmosphere of Porto. Here we spent one of the best moments of our trip. The only problem is the prices, somewhat high. We had a coffee for 5 but the breakfast I saw cost 30. We also had the luck to arrive and not find a queue at the door. I would recommend doing what we do, order something cheap to be able to enter and enjoy the Majestic experience and the atmosphere and magic of the place.

It is very expensive for a cafe. The interior is very antique. Especially the stained mirror. Cappuccino is still a bit of a life cappuccino. I recommend it. It was good that I was close to eating frangipani.

The interior design of this cafe is classical and charming..But it is doubtful to visit this cafe paying much higher price..The atmosphere, I think, occupies the two-thirds of the coffee price. It is up to you to pay for enjoying the atmosphere...
