-Opened since 1909, the real name of this café is "Âncora d'Ouro", but everyone knows it as "O Piolho", a nickname that has been at the center of several discussions, square to meet and mingle with locals, engage with the drinking therapy.

Special Porto place for "Francesinha Especial" – typical Porto food, created in the city in the 20th centurt (kind of a sandwish with lots of cheese, lots of meat, fries and everything bad for colesterol - but marvelous taste!). Very emblematic café in Porto, very frequented by university students. (in football day - it's only football on tvs and very animated — specially if its Porto team playing, of course)

A place both for food and sightseeing. Reasonable prices and good food. A historical coffee shop for Porto's University students - a place for coffee and conversation; watching football matches; studying; meetings; remembering and celebrating past times as a student.

Café Piolho has been the centre of Porto students' nightlife for over a century. The first cafe to have electricity and TV, it's a living part of history. Open since 1904! Many nights I spend in Piolho!
