Cafe Avenida - Vila Nova de Gaia

An interesting place, which is mainly visited by locals. you can sit there for hours if you want to immerse an espresso and no one will beat an eye. when I was there at 4 o'clock, there were some locals who enjoy various small drinks, read time, talk. no one was on their smartphones. wow. I like that very much. the service is beautiful, but only a girl spoke English. I tried French and Russian, but that didn't work either. but we could come to an understanding anyway. I ordered a Frenchman, and it was a good one. the pommes were pale and bland. but the white sangria was beautiful. I also have an ice cream to go before I left, and it was nice. a separate word about the bathroom situation. it's not great, and there were no soap and paper towels. but I would say it's a fixable problem.

The food was well cooked and presented, the portions were also very generous. the personal spoke well English and was very helpful in the description of the dishes. we ate here several times and were always made welcome

O gelado estava pegajoso e tinha sabor de congelador. A torta de ovo era extremamente desagradável, o recheio era muito denso e muito doce, e a crosta estava úmida, mas não crocante.

Francesinha muito boa Só achei o staff um pouco lento a atender a sala não estava cheia e demoravam muito a vir a mesa.

The personal is friendly. but food, although quite expensive, is not good. I had the Franchesina special and the pommes were raw. the sandwich was also not j ever, the meat was hard and it made me feel sick, even though I only ate about...half also the bathrooms are very dirty. don't go here.
