What creators say
Arrive early to secure a table at the historic Majestic Café, soak in its opulent Belle Époque ambiance, and enjoy a coffee served by impeccably dressed staff.
In their own words: “Just down the block is Majestic Café, which used to be the meeting point of the elite of the city. And it’s designed to look like an old-school French café. ... We were the very first to enter, and it’s already like half full. ... the guy that took our order, he’s freaking well-dressed. How he speaks, how he talks to you, 10 out of 10 on that.”
Enjoy breakfast or lunch in this beautifully decorated historic cafe, known for its literary connection to J.K. Rowling.
In their own words: “But, even without this connection, the Majestic Cafe does live up to its name through its decoration and style, and we found it a great place for a quick bite at breakfast or lunch. It is a little pricey but its architecture and small spot in literature history made for an easy win to get the day started.”
Where J. K. Rowling wrote the first Harry Potter book while she lived in Porto, to try Rabanadas.
