Terraplana

Top choice in Porto


Totally relaxed and boho-cool without trying, Terraplana is the bar of the moment in this neck of Porto. Murals adorn the artsy, stone-walled interior, and there's a pretty patio for summer imbibing. Besides inventive cocktails (around €10 a pop), they also have a solid selection of wines, gins and beers. These marry well with supertasty pizzas (€8.50 to €9.50).
