Lapa Lapa is a vibey restaurant and bar known for its lively outdoor atmosphere and excellent cocktails. Situated right on the beach in Foz (the poshest area of Porto), it has fantastic views of the dramatic coastline and Atlantic ocean. It’s an extremely popular spot for both locals and tourists, so booking during peak times and summer season is recommended. The bar is famous for its creative drink menu, which includes a variety of cocktails made with fresh, local ingredients — we have a particular soft spot for their delicious caipirinhas.
There’s a welcoming beach chic vibe at Lapa Lapa. Kick back here and enjoy lazy sunny days and the most beautiful sunsets. It’s also a personal favourite for people watching as families, chic couples and sporty locals pass by throughout the day. This venue quickly gets packed in the summer seasons and on fair weather days, so try and go early to ensure you nab the best spot. On a hot day, bring swimwear and a towel — at Lapa Lapa you’re literally steps from the lovely Foz beaches, so a leisurely dip and lounge is a great way to work up a thirst and an appetite.
