A great guide to restaurants in Porto
I bought the digital guide and after reading that I bought the book to carry around. It was wonderful we found restaurants in Porto that we never would have found and they were exactly as described in the guide. They were very receptive to the trouble I had in download the digital book and solved the issue quickly.

Hello and thank you for your feedback. When creating the guide, we decided not to include addresses because we felt the simplest way was to list every place exactly as it appears on Google Maps. Searching by name is usually quicker and easier than typing out long street names (like Rua dos Mártires da Liberdade), and it also means you always get the most up-to-date location information.
The book is organized by neighborhoods so you always have options wherever you are in the city. It is a collection of 130 of our personal favorites, the places we enjoy most and love to recommend. We hope you discovered some memorable meals among them during your time in Porto.

Nice little book
Nice little book. I am currently planning my Autumn visit to Porto. It would have been helpful to have had the addresses of the various eating places. The city area is useful but then you have to find them! Am sure I will find some of them, but it might be a quest.

Hello,
Thank you for your kind words and for supporting our project—we’re so glad the book is part of your Porto trip planning! You’re absolutely right: we chose not to include full addresses because, in our experience, it’s actually quicker to search the restaurant name on Google Maps. Portuguese addresses can be long and a bit tricky to enter, especially for visitors! That said, your feedback is really valuable, and we’ll keep it in mind for future editions. Wishing you a delicious autumn in Porto!
