Alto Porto, Restaurant in Cedofeita, Porto, Portugal
Alto Porto is a restaurant on Rua de Cedofeita in Porto, Portugal, combining international cooking with Portuguese ingredients. It serves both weekend brunch and weekday dinners, with dishes ranging from shakshuka and shrimp omelets to chicken teriyaki and beef tartare.
The restaurant opened in early 2023, part of a new wave of international addresses that settled in Cedofeita. It was founded by two entrepreneurs who brought flavors from Central Asia and the Middle East to a neighborhood already known for its open food scene.
Alto Porto is run by two owners from Uzbekistan and Armenia, and their backgrounds show directly in the menu, with dishes like shakshuka, avocado toast, and shrimp omelets sitting alongside Portuguese ingredients. This mix makes the restaurant a meeting point in a neighborhood already known for its small, independent spots.
The restaurant is closed on Wednesdays, and booking ahead is strongly recommended, especially for weekend brunch. Those who prefer natural light should ask for a table near the front, as the back of the room receives less daylight.
Instead of ordinary bread, the restaurant serves a soft brioche at the start of the meal, a small detail that many guests remember. Pets are also welcome inside, which is not common in the neighborhood and draws a noticeably varied crowd.
