café457 Rua de Miguel BombardaWi‑FiWork 100
I used to frequent rota do chá, padaria nacional and embaixada, over around cedofeita. Here between bolhão and passos Manuel, I've already been to Supernova, Clube Rugby Porto and Negra, but I was looking for some lesser-known ones around here that have a comfortable atmosphere.
Costumava frequentar a rota do chá, a padaria nacional e o embaixada, para os lados de cedofeita. Aqui entre bolhão e passos Manuel, já estive pelo Supernova, Clube Rugby Porto e Negra, mas andava à procura aí de uns menos conhecidos que tenham um ambiente confortável.

café604 Avenida da BoavistaWi‑FiPowerWork 100
The Casa da Música is a concert hall in Porto, Portugal. It was designed by architect Rem Koolhaas and opened in 2005.
For me the best spot is Casa da Música: somewhere to charge your PC, free wifi, and sushi for 12 euros that's not bad at all. And you'll see who knows how many other people studying and working there; it looks like a coworking.
Para mim o melhor spot e casa da musica, local para carregar pc, free wifi e sushi a 12 euros e nada mau. E vais ver mais nao sei quantas pessoas a estudar e a trabalhar la, parece um coworking
