After lunch no one bothered to clear before bringing the coffee ordered, then served on the table cluttered with dirty dishes, the cast iron pot of rice, the pan of shrimp.

Also, a female worker in kitchen seemed to give me a dirty look, which was unexpected and rude, definitely not representative of the welcoming vibe I got everywhere else in Porto.
