Majestic Cafe Review

Long waiting time to order and then to deliver 2 coffees.
We lost 30 min in waiting ...

Good level price for foreigners because they are too high but level high

The place is very beautiful! The architecture is fantastic. The only problem is the prices, unfortunately these are too expensive.

Beautiful place but alas a little victim of its success. Many tourists who make the place lose some of its charm.

The tables are extremely close together to get as many people as possible into the shop. The decor is nice but not worth the price.

Very turistic but crazy expensive and toilets are not as clean as you expect from this place

Immaculate architecture ... it's not cheap to eat here, but the place is splendid

Its interior makes you fall in love but the prices break your heart :) One of the best cream cakes in Porto but I didn't like the coffee. Friendly cameras and short waiting time.

Excellent place. Really a return to the past. The menu consists of traditional food and drinks from the city. One of the best is the french toast with port wine. Because it is well known there is a small queue at the door, but it is worth the wait.

Cozy coffee, torrija spectacular. You can not miss visiting

Beautiful inside, but not cozy, feel yourself like in a museum where you order super expensive food/drinks and are expected to eat it fast and leave since there are many people waiting outside in the line to get in. Stuff tries their best but is very stressful. Very over rated place.

Came here for decor and history. Food was good (French toast and nata, the Portuguese egg tart). Staff were friendly.

One of the oldest cafes in Europe (they say), classic interiors, piano in the center of the room, a vast menu to satisfy all tastes, good desserts (the pasteis de nata are still served warm), coffee ok, service with white gloves .... but still a place for tourists. Coffee and croissant, about 10 each.

Charming place, soft and relaxed atmosphere, good coffee. Although it is not cheap it is not exorbitant and it is worth it

Wonderful! Coffee costs 3.50, not bad and comes very well presented and with a chocolate. I advise the visit.

The worst restaurant was a balcony, and the worst places where I ate ducks, and the worst chef dealt with me with the worst service, and I would never recommend going to it.

Horrible overpriced ham and cheese. I had the "majestic breakfast" and got a disgusting ham&cheese as if Portugal wasn't part of the Iberic peninsula. Quality of the food seems poor, however, the nice waiters and the architecture of the room made up, hence the two stars. My recommendation, have a look inside, perhaps drink an overpriced coffee and go away.

It is the most important and traditional Porto coffee. Its architecture is fantastic and is very well preserved. The attention is cordial and the quality of its products is excellent, but it is quite expensive, much more than an equivalent coffee in Oporto quality. It does not stop being a point of essential walk.

There is no need to visit more than you think. There are many better cafes and less related to Harry Potter.

It is one of the most favorite cafes in the world, located on the famous shopping street Rua de Santa Catarina, starting from Batalha Square in Porto. First opened in 1921 under the name of Cafe Elite, this valuable place was changed to its decoration in 1923 and became Cafe Majestic. . Cafe Majestic also hosted political debates during the turbulent times in Portugal. During the period after the Second World War, the original decorative materials of the cafe were sold and the employees were laid off. The cafe, which is now about to disappear, came back to life in 1983 with the efforts of Agostinho Barrias. Even the items sold were found and recycled. This cafe, which was the meeting point of the distinguished artists of the city, is now flooded with tourists. You often have to wait in line to get in.

My coffee with cream was very good!!! The french toast was delicious also.....but if you like strong coffee than this place is not for you....portuguese people say that in the past years coffee became watery, not the way they like it....for me it is good

Old coffee that deserves a visit. It is always full even though it is not cheap precisely. Located in the most commercial street of Porto, Santa Catarina.

It's worth the visit... Magical place with a wonderful cofee

Location is worth the visit for the history and tradition of the place.

Everything is delicious!
Service very good and, although crowded, is very organized. Salty prices!

If you are a bit interested in Art Deco, you definitely have to go here.

Pricy but worth it. Beautiful place and excellent food.

A great place and pleasant service. Cult place but cramped.

Expensive. The Service is done in a professional, efficient and extremely friendly way, by uniformed employees and a receptionist. Beautiful building, with old-fashioned decoration and demonstrating the best that existed in its time. Definitely a place to visit

Definitely a place to go when you are in Porto! Quite expensive but we'll worth the experience.

You have to go and have some good coffee and a cheese cake

The place is very nice, the staff are all attentive and friendly, but the prices are exorbitant.

Horrible deal. They closed at 11.30pm, we arrived at 10.50pm and they tell us that if we go in we only have 10 minutes to have coffee. This was half empty and even so they put 6 people at a table of 4. Because of the deal, we leave without taking anything.
Above that you pay for a coffee from 5 to 11 euros, the least you expect is a friendly treatment.
I put the star because of the beauty of the place, but enter only to take a photo.

Very nice place, superb typical decor, good cocktails and impeccable service! The waitresses are delivered and very attentive and very fast. The prices are more expensive than elsewhere in Portugal but the place is well worth the detour for its originality. It is very lively because it is very busy. To have!

The good: Staff were nice, building is charming. The bad: Woeful food, and high prices. I had the afternoon tea selection and every element of it was terrible apart from the sealed Earl Grey tea-bag.

They take your money and run.
Bad coffee. Average food. Too expensive. Dirty toilets. Apart from the shabbychic decor i have no idea why you should come here. Save your money.

French toast and custard tart with an exclusive Port wine ... Excellent. The place is beautiful!

A very quiet place and a different way to take the pastries

All very nice the class pays for itself and I paid but I didn't pay to hear the "master room" arguing with the employees so only 3 stars

Delicious dinner, eaten duck breast. Nicely prepared with delicious sauce. And of course a port for dessert.

Very nice building, outside, inside. Fast service, polite staff, fine coffee.

We went to the cafe for ambiance. It did not disappoint.

It's on the pricey side for Porto standard. I think it's worth it for tourists to see the inside decor. Good service.

Chic but it is very expensive. The note was salty. It's still worth the detour.

One of the oldest cafes! Going to Majestic for coffee is a must, but I think no more.

Ornate interiors, lovely ambiance , courteous staff. No vegetarian options at all , so very disappointing for vegetarians like myself :(

Every year I visit the Majestic at Christmas time, and every year I am received with the utmost courtesy and sympathy by the staff. The decor is incredible, and testimony to a past era of great importance for Portuguese culture. The prices are a little high for the Oporto's pocket, but we have to understand that this is a place of marked tourist attraction, and the costs inherent to the maintenance and conservation of such a space are high.
Undoubtedly, a place to visit and revisit, a heritage of excellence that we must all know!

Really paying to see the inside. Food was overpriced and not that great compared to other options in Porto

Very aristocratic... cafe .. Wonderful atmosphere and decoration... Cappuccino was OK

Touristy place. No locals found here. The place is nice, but there is nothing authentic about it. Might or might not be your thing.

Very not recommended, people are always a lot, the price is especially expensive! ! ! Obviously there are good and cheap choices, my mind has entered the water before coming in to burn money!

Great service and food. In high season, you can have a long queue to get a table.

I visited a meaningful cafe and the coffee tastes good and worth a visit

Antique bar and restaurant in Porto. Fantastic and great food

Very nice in the center, classic cafeteria of 1900. They serve good coffee and good cakes and cakes . Its price is high but worth it

Super expensive coffee in a super crowded place. Why going yo majestic when there are other hidden gems such as cafe guarany? ;-)

Mandatory stop. Crowded, but with great service. Majestic french toast with port.

The place is very busy due to its history, but the conservation of the environment is not good, and the prices are high. The glass was dirty and the service a little rushed.

Mandatory stop during the visit to Porto ... the place takes you back to the past, and you get drunk by its majesty. We had to make a small queue to be able to enter (approx 10 min) .... all delicious and very attentive staff ..... yes, refrain from those who do not want to pay 5 euros for a coffee .....

It is an absurdly expensive place. The foods are delicious. Depending on the queue it is not even worth entering. When I went, the waiting time was short and, therefore, it was worth it. I recommend the almond pie, it is wonderful.

It is well worth it both for what you drink and for the incomparable modernist place. The bad thing is the tourists ... we are too many. But it is very beautiful and it gives you the opportunity to move back to that time when doing a kedada was to meet people for a good coffee with people who had things to tell.

Beautiful and cozy A place not to miss if you visit Porto

A cafe with history. Those who go to Porto have to go to Magestic for coffee.

Beautiful place...fast and good service. You might have to wait in line.

Nice historical cafe but the food was below average and overpriced.

Atmosphere is beautiful and very nice, had no queue waiting, we were quickly served, ate the best french toast of my life I took wine wood, prices are not low. but it was worth the experience!

The premises are very beautiful, the tea is of good quality, as are the pastries. We were lucky not to wait.
