Porto is a member of The Lounges Group, a small chain of informal, neighbourhood, food-led café/bars (all ending with “o” in their names), founded by three bosom friends in 2002. It is open all day, every day and targets families, friends and local residents who just want to pop in for a relaxing coffee or drink in a laid-back environment. The blackboard menu changes with the seasons and uses local ingredients to provide all day breakfasts and a range of paninis and ciabattas as well as proper burgers and more substantial restaurant-like dishes. Also on offer is a selection of coffees, teas, smoothies, juices, cookies and pastries, and some wines and draught beers. There are newspapers to read, board games to play and books to swap. The interior makes extensive use of reclaimed and antique furniture, gothic church fixtures and fittings and of unusual photographs featuring the grandparents of one of the owners. Porto is the smallest of The Lounges and, formerly a travel agency, overlooks a park, and is named for the city of Oporto in Portugal, which is twinned with Bristol.
