Why a hotel breakfast beats any brunch in town
- Buffet with seasonal fruit, cured cheeses, smoked fish, pastry of the day, eggs to order.
- Barista coffee, not thermos pump. Loose-leaf tea. Fresh-squeezed juice.
- Bright room with few tables, not a tourist crush.
- No week-ahead reservation, no queue at the door.
- A view to match: the Douro river, Aliados, or Porto's gardens.
