There is a reason for how crazy busy this place is!!! Amazing brunch spot!!! They quickly seated the five of us! Expansive menu! They have the drinks and the food! The wait staff is efficient and fast, they were constantly running back and forth! We started with the pitcher of sangria which was really tasty! I had the eggs benedict and it was also really good. Greenery all around inside with really good music playing! They look like they were having a good time at work! Putting this place on our list, going to try the other locations when we travel!
Love the vibe here!! I experienced fantastic service and had only a short wait for my order. Love these drink options like Salted Caramel Iced Latte and Strawberry Matcha which are super hard to find in Porto. On the other hand, I wasn't exactly thrilled about non-brunch meal options, which I felt were a bit too experimental for my taste.
This is a place I wanted to go back every day while we visited Portugal. My husband wouldn't let me, but I guess that made it more special. The vibe here was relaxed. The music was pleasant and even my daughter had a great time dancing along and watching the staff put together the food. We never had to wait long for a meal or drinks and everything was so clean and delicious
Cool vibes, cold eggs. We sat outside cute setup, chill weather, very I'm on holiday. The place is aesthetically cool, I'll give them that. But I waited forever for my food. Maybe because I'm American? Big mistake. Huge. I would've ignored the no-tipping thing and thrown them a sack of cash. Too late now. Eggs Benedict came out cold. No runny yolk, just an egg jelly situation on top of what was basically avocado toast. Hollandaise? No flavor. My latte was good... I think? I blacked out and chugged it before the food even came. All the waiters looked like the same tattooed guy copy-pasted. My bestie liked his Shakshuka...it was salsa and eggs with bread in a frying pan. There are better spots where Americans are treated like royalty. Don't ask me where. I'm still looking.
Fabulous food, service, ambiance... might be why it is always busy when you walk by. You can probably be sat quite quickly in the basement or indoor area. There is often enough seating in the warmer season outdoors but you will probably need to wait for a table. I don't imagine it would be too extremely long though (20 minutes as a guess more during prime eating hours). I don't suggest larger groups outside. Outdoor seating is in two-person tables so you will have to wait for just the perfect equation of people to leave to push several tables together. Their Zenith Burger (vegan) is quite tasty (Burger vegan "Beyond Meat", vegan cheese, vegan mayo, onion, salad, tomato). Doesn't stay on the bun too well since there are so many ingredients, I will keep trying, don't worry and I know I will conquer this goal someday, keeping the burger all together. High food aspirations. Friends got the Zenith Pancakes and the Eggs Zenith. They have also had several things on the menu in previous visits and they had high reviews. Reality, you will probably like what you order. Unique options so lots to try. Note: They wouldn't split checks for us. I don't know if this is something you have to address prior to ordering OR if this is a rule of Zenith. Excellent food spot and worth a try. I want to highlight how lovely our server was. Very personable, very friendly, and spot on his game.
I loved the ambience inside. There are a bunch of neon signs with cute sayings and a garden inside enclosed in glass! Food was great and the portions were huge! I still felt light and not greasy by the end of it all. You really can't go wrong with any of the options. I did get the red velvet latte, which did taste like red velvet, but also had hints of beets. So if you don't like the taste of beets, I suggest getting a different drink! The staff inside were so friendly and helped us move our luggage inside when it was pouring rain.
Everything was absolutely fantastic. Drinks: Port Zenith: 10/10 - perfectly sweet Mojito: 8/10 - a little less sweet than I like but my boyfriend loved it Food: Dulce de Leche - as a lover of tres leches this was absolutely amazing to me. It is very sweet but still didn't feel too sweet for breakfast. 10/10 Eggs Benedict: 9/10. Flavorful. I don't like that it was deconstructed but that's a minor flaw. Ambiance: Super cute space but the best part is the area
A popular spot with many locations including Lisbon, Barcelona and other cities in the Iberian Peninsula. We arrived in Porto so early and before our day of exploring we needed some fuel. Zenith is a popular spot, but has a lot of vegan and vegetarian options for brunch and lunch. There were a ton of people there, but plenty of tables outside so we opted to sit outside. The service was so friendly! I ordered a mango mimosa and my husband ordered one of their ginger spritz cocktails. I opted for one of their Benedict, but without the meat. Instead, they offered some mushrooms for me and I welcomed that! My husband ordered one of their salad bowls that included eggs and tofu so we were both so happy and full! Would recommend!
This brunch spot deserves a 10/10. We consistently came here during our trip (Lisbon and Porto). Each meal we got did not disappoint. Here at the Porto location we got great service except for once. Unfortunately the waiter was not very friendly but others made up for that shortcoming! It's so hard to speak about which breakfast was my favorite because they all were great. The only one that did feel lack luster was the breakfast sandwich; I just felt it was missing a kick to it from a sauce. Their Porto Zenith was amazing! The serving size of the drink was great! They have so many great breakfast options that we each were ordering two off the menu so we could try and taste it all. I love the area because it's quiet but you still get a good amount of foot traffic. They have indoor and outdoor seating but the weather is just perfect that you have to sit outside. Definitely make a stop and check this place out!
This place was amazing and a absolute treasure. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, some of the best eggs and banana bread I have ever had. The banana bread was not overly sweet and the perfect balance of flavors. The eggs were seasoned to perfection and my mojito was delicious. I highly recommend this place if you are visiting porto. I wish brunch places were more like this in the states. The ambiance is so pure and beautiful. Even though the music is playing and it's lively, it's very easy to have a conversation with one another and not be plagued with hearing the conversation of others. The Mrs. and I will visit here again because there was so many things in the menu we wanted but couldn't get. We are leaving stuffed and happy.
Given that everything is in English, this place caters to the tourist crowd. And it was absolutely packed at noon on a Wednesday. Anyone from the west cannot make it anywhere before 12pm ... It's a trendy, colorful space with friendly service. The food is also fresh and tasty -- I got the Bacon & Egg bagel, and I enjoyed the added pesto & crispy onions. Paired with a detox shot, I felt 50% healthy. The couple next to me got pancakes, and they looked ridiculously good. I'm glad I didn't order them cause the protein did me good for the next 8 hours of walking around the town, but if you're a sweet-breakfast person, definitely get them. I recommend this place if you're shy about trying some of the more local spots and want to ensure the menu is readable. However, if you're more adventurous, try a more authentic breakfast spot. read more
Presentation of food 5 stars Inside & out restaurant is fashoinable & well decorated, totally 5 stars Servers, meh.. Food was just okay. Eggs Benedict was served cold on cold thick dry (not toasted) bread. My food was cold, my daughter's was tiny & my husband's fell flat of flavor. If there is not a wait time, I say try it. They were very busy the day we were there. Maybe too busy to serve good food. Idk read more

First breakfast/brunch in Porto was at Zenith - Brunch & Cocktails. I had read a lot of great reviews about this place beforehand, so expectations were pretty high. Given the hype, I was expecting a potentially long wait, but I was pleasantly surprised by how quick we were seated. We ended up with a table outside around 12 noon on a Sunday, which was perfect for our needs. Service was friendly and efficient, and the food itself was great. Delicious and satisfying. I would definitely recommend this place to all. read more

Yes, there is a line anytime they are open, which is the only bad news I found here. The good news starts there as the line moves quickly. The staff watches the line for two people and moves past the four and five-person parties. The food is excellent. It is NOT classic Portuguese fare, but if you want to brunch at almost anytime, this is your place. The staff speaks English and will tolerate your bad attempt at Portuguese Eggs are done to order and done right. The Bloody Mary is SPICY. The Acai bowl is wonderful, as is the yogurt bowl. read more

The menu was so expansive, we decided to go here twice lol. Service was exceptional both visits - it is important to note that they do cash only (there is an ATM across the street, if needed). Food-wise, we went savory the first time and sweet the next. This is completely based on our preferences, but here's how we rated everything, in order: Zenith Toast (an absolute must, we liked it more than francesinha) - 5/5 Peanut butter pancakes - 4.5/5 Croissant Carbonara - 4.5/5 Dulce de Leche pancakes - 4/5 Chicken Taco - 3.75/5 Jackfruit Chili Taco - 3.5/5 If you are big into cocktails, this is the brunch spot for you. I had their bramble (gin with mixed berries and juice), and it was incredible. Highly recommend going to Zenith at least once, as you can't go wrong with their selection. The price-points are also extremely friendly, which will allow you to try different menu items when you go! read more
Simple, done well, and done right can't be understated. Probably one of the best brunches I've ever had, in fact it was so good I had to visit their other location in Madrid. Zenith's brunch menu isn't anything crazy but everything tastes very fresh and everyone in my group agreed that all the food we had was phenomenal and packed with tons of flavor. From the mojito to the pancakes and chicken; there wasn't a single miss. If you're ever in Porto or Madrid, definitely check out Zenith. Tons of food options and easily customize your own egg toast like I did. read more

When we saw the queue, we thought this must be a good place. Came with recommendations and all that. We craved pancakes and in hindsight, should have went to O Diplimatico. We waited for bout 30 minutes in atypical cold weather in Porto. When we sat down, we looked at the pancake menu, looked at each other and thought... damn it... they didn't look that great. I mean, they looked beautiful - just wasn't what we wanted. So we ordered breakfast food that was subpar in every sense of the word. Eggs Benedict was whatever. Typical brunch food, just a few levels on the eh side. read more

Some of the best breakfast we had in all of Portugal! Make sure to bring cash and to be ready for a wait, however it does go buy fast! I got the açaí bowl which was one of the best I've ever had! And we also ordered eggs and Oreo pancakes which were phenomenal as well! read more

Such a wonderful SURPRISE to have a cafe such as this in Porto where it seems every corner has restaurants that only serve meat options. First of all a super friendly staff. Then the selections! Oh my. Many vegetarian options AND vegan too! I chose the Zenith bowl and hubby had the Sweet potato 'toast'. We also had the juice of the day and a detox juice. Portions were generous. Extremely fresh ingredients. So yummy! All delicious. They have outdoor seating and also indoor. We sat outside and enjoyed the sunshine along with people watching. We are here in Porto for two weeks. I will be at Zenith everyday! read more

Absolutely loved this place! I came because it was highly rated as gluten free option and it was even better for my group cause there were a ton of other non gluten free options. Their vanilla latte was pretty good as well. The bacon looks really different from American bacon but my guest who did eat said it was fine just really salty. Everything from the staff to the food and the atmosphere was all amazing! Definitely come here for a late brunch to start your day. read more

I hate to be this person, but Zenith really Didn't meet my expectations. It had every intention of being a hipster insta haven, but despite the cute signs and neon lights, It really didn't deliver. Luckily we didn't have to wait in line because they were able to squeeze us into a table and all the groups before us were larger. It's very uncomfortable. I bet people are always waiting to get in, but if they could remove just one or two tables, I think it would be a lot more comfortable. The poor tables near the door were eating with their coats on because the door stayed open. And people kept bumping into them. The food was nice quality, but really nothing too special. I'm no longer impressed with smoothie bowls and shakshuka on a menu. I ordered the peanut butter toast and it was very dry. To be fair, I had to order it without strawberries and granola (allergies) but I can't imagine the granola helping the texture any. The coffee was pretty good! I ordered the caramel iced latte. The staff (from the hostess to the cashier) seemed very stressed. It's fair that they were overwhelmed, but I'd say they were rude as a result. read more
