Such a wonderful place! An oasis in tourist hell. Everything is delicious, gluten-free, dairy-free, and even vegan. The people are super friendly and the place, especially with the garden in the back, is absolutely beautiful! Thank you!!
A great pizzeria, with super friendly service from the very first moment. David, the owner, is charming and makes you feel at home. If you have celiac disease or an egg allergy, this is an ideal place: they have many gluten-free and egg-free options that are safe and delicious.
Very nice brunch at Noshi! We enjoyed the ambiance and natural lighting of the patio, and you also have a couple of different options of where to sit down.
We ordered a couple of drinks and food. The golden milk was on the sweeter side so keep that in mind! Also, even though the orange juice said natural, I felt that they had added sugar to it. We also ordered the vegan toast, delicious gluten free bread, wonderful balance of flavors and textures, we both enjoyed it very much. We also got the chia pudding which was great as well, nice proportions of fruit and jam. The service was alright. Attention was a little slow, maybe it was busy, and our server had little patience with us that day when I was asking questions, but thats alright.
Would definitely return to try more goodies!
Excellent food, friendly servers who communicate easily in several languages, and a short wait that was quickly forgotten. Be careful, there are no gluten-free options.
What a wonderful gem to find in Porto! Everything was delicious from start to finish - mocktails, vegan nachos and their cheesecake. Lots of gluten free options on the menu as well. Trendy and modern decor. Service is on the slower end, but that is common around all restaurants in Porto. Would definitely return here if I am back in Portugal

Had a lovely meal here. Great for gluten fee, knowledgeable friendly staff, menu clearly labelled and staff confirmed all orders to be sure all gluten free. Had the mozzarella salad, delicious squid and amazing duck risotto.
Very small resturant on the water front. Seating outside with about 5 tables for 2 inside.

Fantastic meal here. Just back of the river front and behind the restaurant Rib. Great atmosphere. Good for gluten free. Knowledgeable staff and lots of options for those with dietary restrictions. Food was delicious but go hungry as portions generous. Had a sea bass and.octopus as mains, both of which were great. All dishes looked good.
Delicious mouse for desert.
Good wine selection.
All reasonably priced. Would highly recommend. Booking needed.
It's super good, the food is delicious and very reasonably priced. One drawback is that if you're celiac or gluten-intolerant, it's quite exhausting to be charged the difference and an extra 1 euro. It just doesn't make sense. Otherwise, everything is delicious, the atmosphere is super nice, and so is the place.
I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back "Hi Paulina,
We do have a gluten free menu.
When you visit us, please inform the server of all your allergies, our staff will certainly provide you a meal free of allergens.
Check attached our full menu allergens for your consideration prior to your visit.
Thanks"
Amazing gluten free brunch. Fresh ingredients and a peaceful space to enjoy in. Ordered the scrambled eggs, came with a gluten free cracker instead of sourdough which was turnout out to be a nice substitute and the whole meal was very filling.
Mercador Café & Brunch in Porto is a gem for those looking for a cozy place with a modern atmosphere. The service was super friendly and fast. I enjoyed a delicious açaí with fruits, which was fresh and very well presented. 🍓🫐 In addition, they offer gluten-free bread, which is a great plus for those who need it. Their coffee is excellent and perfect to accompany their varied menu, which includes fresh and healthy dishes. 🥑🍳 The decoration of the place is elegant, ideal for relaxing or having a good time. Although the prices may be a little high, the quality justifies it. Without a doubt, a place that I recommend for a quiet and tasty brunch in the heart of Porto.
Amazing! Best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had in my life!!!(you have to advise them 24 hours in advance for the GF dough) The non-gluten free pizzas are also very very good! Staff is very helpful and funny. I will come back here for sure!
Super delicious food and superb service. The waiters couldn't be nicer or more attentive. They adapt almost everything to gluten-free. Highly recommended.
Best Eggplant I have ever eaten!! Such a nice service! Everything is vegan (but you can’t tell a difference between non-vegan food) - some dishes even with gluten free options. Highly recommend this restaurant!
I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back " Hello Paulina! Thank you for your contact. Even though we offer gluten free options, it’s important to mention that any restaurant that prepares its dishes in the same kitchen as others with gluten has an obligation to warn of the possibility of having allergenic traces. Our team is extremely careful, but since our dishes are all made in the same kitchen that already implies a risk of cross contamination, even if it’s a small one. That’s why we understand it’s extremely important to warn all of our guests, so they are aware of the conditions we work in and then they take the decision of visiting us, or not. Specially because we do not have a separate kitchen, fridge, utensils and instruments to cook the gluten free dishes. Thank you, the Boa-Bao team"
They have gluten-free pizzas! It would be nice if they advertised them more! We found out by chance, so we stopped by and asked. The menu outside didn't mention it, but they later gave us one that did (+3€ extra). The pizza was a bit pricey, but it's always good to have options.
We ordered two takeaway pistachio matchas for €14.30.
We asked for one gluten free and one with oat milk. They gave us the gluten free one with oat milk (which is not gluten free). This meant that we had to scrape the cookie and pistachio cream off my celiac friend’s drink and onto mine as she is allergic.
It also took us 20 minutes to receive the drinks and the sizes were incredibly small. Not worth the money.
We had also seen them bring out the dine in drink with the pistachio cookie advertised but instead we got a small biscoff cookie for some reason.
Very nice cafe with very warm and helpful staff and very tasty food!!
I was even able to order the bread from my dish and was allowed to eat the gluten-free bread I had brought with me! Really great!
We'd love to come back!
Best meal we had in a while! They did gluten free adapted meal on request: I was ensured they used a fresh pan and utensils to avoid cross contamination.
Try the white sangria and the chocolate mousse (!).
The sublime octopus and clams. The spectacular chocolate mousse. Great value for money. Very attentive service and several gluten-free options. The only downside, the liter and a half bottle of mineral water was expensive (4.5 euros). For the rest, to repeat without a doubt.
A wonderful small place to eat local food. The stuff is super friendly, the food was amazing. They had glutenfree and dairyfree options.
I absolutely recomend to try!
Relaxed and pleasant space. Friendliness and good service. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. Good food and fast service. I had the mushroom risotto which is excellent and the vegan raspberry ice cream which is super tasty. The pizza rotation is very generous. Everyone took home pizza! Good quality-price ratio.
The space has good cultural programming and exhibitions. I recommend.
