Fully vegan cat cafe 🐱 - Edit
Food was really good and probably the best value we had in all of Porto (2 main meals one menu of the day which was two courses, plus 3 drinks was under €30). The cats are really friendly and the staff obviously care a lot about them which was really nice to see. Our toddler loved it and didn't want to leave!

The place to go in Porto - Edit
I ordered the traditional Francesinha and it was very tasty. I ate outside and there were a few cats roaming around. After you order, you can go in the room with all the cats. I highly recommend this place, so many vegan options and adorable cats.

A lovely place - Edit
It’s a lovely place. The cats were so lovely and I really appreciated the fact that they gave you a set of instructions on dealing with the cats along with the menu (though I do wish they actually checked if everyone complied with it). The food was lovely and I especially liked the francesinha selection. I’m only giving 4 stars, as I really did not appreciate the fact that smoking was allowed there. I really don’t think it’s good for the cats in such a small and enclosed outside area

Comida excelente, ambiente incrível - Edit
Almoçar acompanhado por mais de uma dezena de gatos é incrível. Ora porque transmitem calma, ora porque são brincalhões e saltam-nos para cima da mesa. Restaurante associado a um projeto muito sólido de resgate e adoção de animais. Recomendo muito.
Read morePros: Gatos em todo o lado, Comida excelente
Cons: O eventual pêlo de gato na comida , Não é barato, não sendo muito caro.

Lovely spot - Edit
Such a lovely concept of getting to spend time with animals & enjoying a fully vegan menu. There are so many options to choose from to eat and drink and you have the option of sitting indoors or outdoors. They have clear rules on how to behave around the cats and can tell the animal welfare is a priority for them.
Read moreI had a toasted sandwich with cheese, ham and mushrooms and it was delicious. The prices were reasonable too.
Then I spent some time with the kitties in their room (they are free to wander outside to the outdoor eating area or sleep/eat/chill in an indoor area)

Must-visit for cat, cake and hot choc lovers! - Edit
We weren’t sure if we wanted to eat here because we just wanted a hot drink and cake, but at certain hours you have to buy a meal per person in order to see the cats. I am glad we decided to stay in the end.
Read moreThe team are super friendly, the food is incredible, the interior is very warm and welcoming and there’s an entire room and garden dedicated to the cats and hanging out with them.
We both had a francesinha, which was delicious, and shared a side of fries. Later on we ordered the raspberry coconut cake, the chocolate orange cake and a hot chocolate. It was a hot chocolate like nothing I’ve ever had before, essentially like having melted chocolate in a glass, as opposed to a standard one in the UK. It’s very sweet so be warned, you need a strong sweet tooth!
The cat room has rules, it limits the amount of people inside and you shouldn’t disturb them, only let them come to you. There’s currently a very friendly orange cat who sat on our laps and loved cuddles. Just be respectful!
Highly recommend a visit here.

Eating in the best company - Edit
The prices are super fair and if you eat outside, you have the honor to eat with several super sweet cats, which are all up for adoption.
Read morePros: The cat hosts, The team, The food

Delicious simple dishes, cozy atmosphere, and friendly staff. Two areas in the restaurant – one with cats, the other isolated for allergy concerns.

Great Food, Sweet Kitties - Edit
We visited this restaurant twice during our month-long stay in Porto because our cat-loving daughter was obsessed with dining by the cats. The restaurant is very cute, has a great outdoor terrace in the back, a few tables in the front to eat as well, and plenty of great food options (including delicious prato do dia). All of the food dishes we tried were delicious, in particular, a coconut rice and tofu dish with red peppers. Definitely recommend, especially if the cats are a big draw.

Friendly - Edit
Got offered menu of the day-soup, toast/hummus, mash/mushrooms/peas, lemon tea. All very tasty. Didn’t get to see the menu but other customers had one so there must be other options. The cats were cool to visit. A unique and memorable experience!

great spot for a bite and drink - Edit
Lovely decorated place with the possibility to chill among the cats (in a separate area). The sauteed mushrooms in white wine were grrrreat! So were the aubergine, toast and hotdog we had (we went twice, we don't eat THAT much). Plus the staff is very friendly.

They rescue cats and offer vegan food as well. Staff donate their tips for the cats! Well run, they have rules to ensure the cat’s wellbeing.

Perfect spot - Edit
The food was delicious, I had the daily special menu, very affordable and very fulfilling. Very nice people and really enjoyed the decor and diferent seating rooms/options. At the end I went to the car room and ended up staying there for about an hour, just enjoying the cats’ company. Super friendly and cute place. 10/10 recommend! Will come back for sure

What a gem! - Edit
Lovely cafe with the cutest cats! Had lunch here and the food was delicious. The terrace is beautiful and I love that the cats were able to come out as they pleased. Definitely worth a visit!
Read moreHave to agree with a previous reviewer though, some people were petting cats that were asleep or even scaring them which is an absolute shame.

Good food, but more regulations for the cats - Edit
The food was good and staff very friendly, but I wish there were more protocols in place for the cats. It says 7 people maximum can be in the room with them, and we noticed over 12 people at times, with multiple people clearly petting cats that were sleeping or not wanting to be petted. I wished the staff intervened.
