Porto’s Majestic Café One of the Best Coffee Shops in Europe

Finding a great coffee shop is something worth celebrating for a true coffee head, and those who visit Porto may have to check this one out. A recently released list of The 50 Best Coffee Shops in Europe by renowned Big 7 Travel site has ranked some of the best coffee joints in the region. Majestic Café in Porto makes the list at an impressive 9^th position.

To come up with the list, Big 7 Travel gathered recommendations from its social audience and editorial team all over Europe. The criteria considered included rating the quality of the coffee, variety, unique menu items, barista experience, sustainability, atmosphere and customer experience.

Majestic Café is a famous joint on Rua Santa Catarina in Porto, with impressive, 18^th– century art nouveau  architecture and, of course, good coffee. The history is just as rich, as this was a meeting place for renowned figures in Portuguese arts and culture. Its interior boasts intricate details, ornate carvings, chandeliers, and an overall by-gone era charm. Popular on the menu is francesinha, a local sandwich to go with the coffee. Many rave about the overall ambience and historical charm. This opulent café is often busy especially at peak hours, and that is not surprising at all.

Topping the list is Gran Caffe Gambrinus in Naples, Italy. The rest of the top 10 are Caravan Coffee Roasters (London), Drop Coffee (Stockholm), Ozone Coffee Roasters (London), Coffeewerk + Press (Galway), The Barn (Berlin), Good Life Coffee Roasters (Helsinki), Toma Café (Madrid), Majestic Café (Porto), and Tim Wendelboe (Oslo) in that order.
