What actually works in Porto
Most of the verified picks in Porto sit within a short walk of the main hub of the area, not on the main thoroughfare. Riomaggiore rewards walking one block off the obvious axis.
- A photo menu in three languages on the sidewalk is a tell, not a recommendation.
- If the host outside is working harder than the kitchen, walk one street back.
- Ask a vendor at the nearest market who they eat at after their shift.
