Das Café Duque ist eine echte Erfahrung. Die Bedienung ist etwas ruppig, aber der Espresso war sehr lecker und auch die Stückchen waren gut. Das Café ist auf jeden Fall nicht auf Touristen ausgelegt, sondern auf Locals, was es sehr sympathisch und authentisch macht.

Io e mia moglie abbiamo fatto colazione 3 giorni di fila in questo bar durante un viaggio itinerante in Portogallo. Lo staff è molto gentile e accogliente, la colazione era ottima, così come il rapporto qualità-prezzo. Se dovessimo passare nuovamente da Porto, torneremmo sicuramente in questo bar! Super consigliato, obrigado Matteo e Stefania

Cafe Duque is a delightful small neighborhood cafe in Porto. I stopped by for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and affordability. The coffee was excellent and incredibly priced at only €0.85! I also had a pastry, which was delicious and paired perfectly with my coffee. This charming spot is definitely a great choice for a delicious and budget-friendly breakfast. Highly recommended!
