Paju Restaurante Porto
After hours
Rúben from Porto
When I go out at night in Porto with my friends during the weekend, before we go back home, it's not so easy to find restaurants that are open between 23:00 and 05:00 if we're hungry. Well, I found a great one, Paju Restaurante, with several tables and chairs, where you can have a nice relaxed meal, and it’s open during the night.
So, I went there for the first time on November 12th 2017, after my birthday party with my friends. One of them invited me to go with him. When we arrived, we ordered a traditional Portuguese dish that we usually call "tripinhas" in Portugal, together with a beer. Then, for the main menu, we asked for a “prego no pão”, which means steak on a bread with cheese and ham. I can recommend it, because it tasted very good.
But the surprise was in the end. For dessert, we asked for a chocolate cake that they call the best chocolate cake in the world. The employee told me that this chocolate cake is supplied by an old man who I didn't have the opportunity to get to know, but if he gets to read this, I would like to give him my congratulations because his cake was delicious.
