Spontaneous weekend in Porto
All this trip came up quite spontaneously, as I got my dates for my Easter holiday and wasn’t sure where to go. First plan was to come home to Czech Republic and visit my family, but my travel spirit felt a different way.
Just randomly searching for some flights to anywhere, suddenly a flight to Porto popped up, very cheap and just 2 hrs from London. It went straight to my cart and I had my flight! Thinking and searching for flights to Prague which didn’t seem right and with 1 change in Paris.
Coming to conclusion I just decided to stay in Portugal, which I always wanted to see and bought my flights from Porto to Madeira made me so happy and over excited even more than the whole trip. 😀
Thanks to my friend, which has decided on a spot to go and join me there and then later Kuba to join me in Madeira, I could shared and enjoy this beautiful holiday with a company!

My Favourites Restaurants in Porto
Once it comes to food and what we’re gonna eat, I am more than happy to spend hours of searching for the best restaurants,
hidden local bistros or just a fast food on a street. However in Portugal everything came to us so suddenly and we were very lucky to find the best of Porto!
“NOLA — stands for No Labels — is a new kitchen concept where real food comes first and people are united by a common belief: that real, healthy and tasty food makes us both healthier and happier.
NOLA KITCHEN
Being NOLA is a refusal of the food that hurts our health and that’s why refined sugars and flours, as well as processed ingredients or preservatives are not allowed in our kitchen. We believe in the power of real food: more vegetables and ethically sourced, better quality meat and fish. We do not believe in one right diet, but in one right way of eating, what we call: THE NOLA WAY OF LIFE.”
Portuguese wine and food just beside the Douro River with its beautiful view should be on your list with visiting and discovering Porto!
It’s quite busy at the lunch time but definitely worth to find and try all its delicious food and enjoy the Portuguese wine!
Opening hours from Monday to Sunday 12 – 22h.
For meat and steak lovers this restaurant is a must, as it’s the best steak I ever had. And beside the delicious food just melting in your mouth, the whole atmosphere, music and the most nicest stuff is just an unforgettable experience.
Just make sure to give it a call and book your table before you go!
Opening hours from Monday to Sunday 19 to 24h.
