Restaurant
Pedro dos Frangos is a popular eatery in Porto known for its delicious grilled chicken, which has earned it a legendary status among locals and visitors alike. The restaurant has been serving up mouthwatering dishes for over 60 years, with their specialty being the tender and non-greasy grilled chicken "no espeto." In addition to the flavorful chicken, patrons can also enjoy traditional rice and tomato & onion salad.
Local Eats w Great Service & Vibes First off, we got there about 7:20 and no wait. At 8:30 there was a substantial wait. Give it up for what seems like a small diner on the first floor but has two floors above. Efficient food delivery with a dumb waiter but real waiter was magnificent instructing us on the correct dining portions (do the smaller and order more for variety). I came for the grilled sardines and I got them! I would prefer roasted potatoes but boiled were fine. Request fresh lemons. I regret not doing so. My companion ordered the fish and was happy. Don’t expect a western garden salad but you will get all the ingredients laid out! A small box of brown bread and white rolls are deposited at your table. Could break a tooth on the dark bread! Beware. All in all a great experience and I was happy to tip my waiter as he was top notch. Maybe not the Portugal way but if you’re a tourista like me it’s one way to show a little American friendliness!

Pedro dos Frangos Review 🍗🐙🐟 Fresh and delicious roasted chicken I’m not usually a chicken fan, but at Pedro dos Frangos, I couldn’t stop eating! The sardines were fresh, crispy, and perfectly meaty absolutely amazing! The octopus with baby potatoes was tender and full of flavor. 10/10 highly recommend! A hidden gem in Porto you must try! 🇵🇹✨

Really nice restaurant to get dinner. Service is amazing. Always with a smile from the servers. We ordered as an appetizer Bacalao cakes. For main entry we were greedy and ordered a Churrasco mixto and tripes with beans Porto Style. I know it was too much we couldn’t finished. Flavors were on point. The mojo with garlic they use for the grill mix we ordered was awesome. We couldn’t order dessert we didn’t have room for it.
Jorge G — Google review
A Must try!! 🥰 See the Chicken roasted over charcoal and evenly crusted. Meat is Juicy not dry. Fries is up to individual taste. I love crispier McDonald’s fries more…. The Greens is an optional side but you can order a small size to. Beer to complement the food. Go for the tap if you want Estrella ! I gone Super Bock ! 🇵🇹
TPBoy — Google review
I would say 3.5 stars. We came without a reservation and thankfully did not have to wait long for a table as we came just when they opened. When we left the queue was looong… so maybe it’s best to make a reservation. We had 1 chicken w fries and a side salad. Portions are Big! Chicken was nicely seasoned.. will be salty if you eat all the skin. Chicken breast wasn’t as succulent as I expected it to be but I guess it’s hard to cook juicy breast when cooking so many chickens at once. Fries were very very mediocre, will probably do away with it next time. Salad was nice and fresh. Service is a little dodge.
Jasmine — Google review
Unexpectedly the BEST meal I had in Porto. Grilled chicken was amazing tender, but the secret sauce (literally) is the Piri Piri sauce which elevated it to a whole new level. Get the octopus rice as well - very tasty. Portions-wise, 1 dose for the chicken and half dose for the octopus rice did very nicely. (Quick note: the queue actually starts on the second floor, so do look out for it if you don't have reservations. The queueing system was quite confusing to us.)
Hayden — Google review
Choose your time wisely - I think we got there by about 7 and got a table without a problem, by the time we were leaving there were about 30 people queuing. The food was very nice and well priced. We had the pork loin and the chicken. The only thing that wasn't great was the cake we ordered for dessert but tbh should have known better. it's a good place if you want a hearty meal.
Kathi H — Google review
Great meal only 30 euro for 2 people inclusive of entree, Main and 2 glasses of port. We had fried sardines and veggies. Sardines we crispy and tasty veggies were nice cabbage cooked in butter, for mains we shared piri piri chicken and fries, the fries were delicious and the chicken was juicy and tender. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Tucked away in the Bonfim neighborhood of Porto, A Cozinha do Manel is a beloved traditional restaurant that has been serving up delectable dishes for over 30 years. The cozy dining room, adorned with granite and tiles, offers a warm welcome to patrons. The menu features mouthwatering starters like alheira assada and queijo da Serra, followed by hearty mains such as wood-fired lamb and fish.
Absolutely amazing! A little bit of a stroll from the city centre of Porto but well worth it. Best Codfish dish I've ever had and the tenderloin was absolutely perfect too. Very nice staff and great atmosphere. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to try authentic Portugese food when in Porto.

Great traditional Portuguese food. Went here for lunch on a Sunday without reservation, got a seat at the bar. Service was very friendly and efficient. Had the roast lamb with potatoes and rice - so good! Lamb was juicy and full of flavour.

What a delicious experience! We were lucky to have come upon this restaurant as it was next door to our hotel. The menus offered just enough options and variety. Delicious wine and exceptional food and service. You will not want to miss you on this dining experience when in Porto! Reservations needed!

Off the hook amazing food atmosphere and service! Go. Just stop reading and make reservations. Veal is fantastic. Enough for two. Duck rice is also great. We order red wine from Douro, salad, cod app and Milk from heaven with cookie. Not sure what else I could possibly say than just go here and find out what real Portuguese cuisine and hospitality is like. Love this place!

A quaint, well-maintained restaurant with traditional azulejo tiles and frequented by locals, a sign of quality. The service is friendly and helpful. The menu features characteristic dishes, beautifully presented and generous portions, and the wine list is excellent. Prices are in keeping with the ambiance. The veal is exceptional, and the hake is incredibly fresh. Although it's not in the city center, it's located across from the subway.

Great local food. You’ll leave with a full belly. Just know that the appies and garlic toast are not free and will be charged to your bill so you might as well eat it.

The famous goat was a disappointment. The three person portion was mostly bone, meat tasted a bit bitter, otherwise rather tasteless. Texture wasn't as soft as i would expect it to be based on roasted goat experience i had elsewhere. Not worth the price

Conga is a down-to-earth restaurant in Porto, known for its pork sandwiches, draft beers, and wine. The eatery offers a variety of gastronomic treasures, with specialties like tender pulled pork marinated in garlic and spice served in bifanas buns. The menu also features steaks accompanied by potatoes and thin dishes that leave patrons more than satisfied without emptying their wallets.
The food was fantastic!!!!! Bifana (pork burger) costs only €3.5 and they are so tasty, so yummy!!!! Steak was only €14 and very good! FRANCESINHA COM BIFE DO VAZIO was so yummy. It's a local food and cheap, voluminous, and meaty!!! Highly recommended! The service was good. Fast, hospitable, nice, and efficient. Very good locally based, cheap place but great food place!

The restaurant had a simple but pleasant atmosphere. Servers were pleasant and friendly. The sandwich was tasty and very well priced, the only thing I didn’t like was that the sauce made the roll soggy on some parts. I do not like soggy bread but great concept and worth trying out!
Mary G — Google review
Update: I ended up coming here 4x during my 3-day trip to Porto. It was really addictive. Lovely bifanas! This was a great accidental find. We came here after having a racist experience at the Piri Piri chicken store opposite and were very heartened by the impartial service here. It turned out that Conga is actually very famous. Bifanas were absolutely delicious - salty, soft meat with a slight tinge of spice, I could have eaten two in a go. We tried different combinations - with rice and fries, but decided that the original style of having the meat with bread was the best as it soaks up the meaty greasy spicy goodness. Sangria is also fizzy and great in the heat, but slightly sweet. So good we came back twice in a day!

Authentic Portuguese food and experience. Came recommended from host and was worth the visit. Had Bacalhau and Steak as options on day I went. The Cod, rice and bean/greens dish were excellent! Quick for food and service was great, and best yet not a tourist trap with all locals. Will visit again.
Mark B — Google review
We went here for a traditional bifana and we got it! The broth was so flavorful and a little spicy. Seriously delicious. We also got the veggie soup and the caldo verde - both were very bland, but hot and fresh. The atmosphere was a standard, sports place, nothing special. The water closet was a bit messy and smelled strongly of urine. Really great value, it was the most affordable meal we had while in Porto.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Iconic Porto Flavors at Their Best! Conga is a true Porto institution — the kind of place every local knows and every visitor should experience. Famous for its bifanas, this spot serves up sandwiches that are simply out of this world — tender pork simmered in a spicy, flavorful sauce that’s both addictive and unforgettable. The atmosphere is lively and full of character, with that perfect mix of tradition and energy that makes Porto so special. Service is quick, friendly, and efficient — even when it’s busy (which it often is!). Pair your bifana with an ice-cold beer or a glass of vinho verde, and you’ve got one of the best meals in the city for an unbeatable price. Conga isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a Porto experience. Simple, delicious, and absolutely essential for anyone who loves authentic Portuguese food. 🇵🇹🔥

Café Santiago is a laid-back dining spot renowned for its delectable egg-topped sandwiches and hearty comfort fare, along with a selection of beers. The star of the menu is the Francesinha, Portugal's take on the croque-monsieur, featuring layers of cured ham, smoke-cured pork sausage seasoned with garlic and paprika, chipolata, roast meat smothered in melted cheese and sometimes topped with a fried egg.
We had the steak sandwich and had it split into two portion just add €1+. I can’t remember. But you’d get extra eggs and fries as it’s split to two plates. Well worth it as we’re not big eaters plus we then get to order another dish! Service was fast and prompt. We were early so no queue for us.
NemoAlert W — Google review
I visited this restaurant hoping to enjoy an authentic francesinha, but unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing. The biggest issue was the service: the staff was unprofessional and overly familiar, calling me "my love" and touching my arm, which made me uncomfortable. I don't know if it is part of portuguese culture but a more respectful and professional attitude would be greatly appreciated as a tourist. As for the food, while I understand that francesinha is a local specialty and many people love it, it wasn’t to my personal taste. However, I respect that this might just be a matter of preference. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place based on my experience, mainly due to the service.
Caroline ( — Google review
Good afternoon, I had dinner here today. And I am very disappointed. At first glance, the food looked good. But the reality was completely different. The meat smelled slightly off, but more importantly, it wasn't cooked through. I didn't finish my meal and reported everything to the waiter. I was asked if I wanted the meat cooked further. I said no, because there wasn't much left. Then the waiter took the food away and that was it. I find it really outrageous to serve someone raw meat and not even apologise, let alone make the customer pay the full amount. I understand that this can happen sometimes, but the staff's reaction must be different!!!!
Dominik . — Google review
Francesinha is a Porto classic, and around Café Santiago you’ll find several places specializing in it. This restaurant, with entrances from both Rua de Santo Ildefonso and Rua de Passos Manuel, clearly takes its Francesinha seriously — it’s offered in several variations. As one reviewer said perfectly: “I’m glad I tried it, but I don’t need to try it again.” It’s definitely an acquired taste, but hearty and filling — arrive hungry. My wife had Bacalhau à Braga, which was nicely prepared, and we finished with Aletria — a dessert made from thin noodles simmered in sweet milk and dusted with cinnamon. Service was friendly and quick, rounding out a solid local experience.

Tried the famous francesinha at Café Santiago and it delivered. Rich, hearty, and indulgent, with a perfectly balanced spicy beer sauce. The portion is generous, the meat is tender, and the melted cheese blanket is pure comfort. Service was quick and friendly despite the crowd. If you are in Porto and want to try the city’s signature dish, this is the place. Go hungry.

Incredibly delicious francesinha. Came here solo and immediately got a seat at the bar. Short wait for the sandwich. The sauce is delicious and comforting, and the meats with bread are amazing. Tastes much better than it looks! Place was packed, expect to wait with 2+ people. Service was friendly and efficient

Francesinha baked in a wood oven! Ordered the Francesinha Santiago - Bife do Lombo, that upgrades the beef to siloin, also for that price comes already included the fried egg and the french fries. Aletria for desert, it was also top notch! Delicious! with a Café were both the perfect send off!

Went there after seeing all the positive reviews and was highly disappointed. We ordered francesinhas and caldo verde. When the francesinhas came out it looked really good at first look. However the sandwich itself was not hot and lukewarm at best. Both the fries and the bread was very stale.

Casa Guedes Progresso is a Portuguese restaurant located in Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto. It's known for its delicious food, great service, and age (dating from 1899!). The interior of the restaurant is interesting and it feels like stepping back in time.
I really enjoyed the food, and I have to highlight that the pork sandwich is a must-try at this place. As a starter, I ordered a codfish croquette with sheep cheese, which was also very good, but I have to say the sandwich was outstanding. It was absolutely delicious. I was served by a guy named Sydney, and the service was excellent. The atmosphere was also great, and overall it’s a place where you can eat very well.

We visited this place yesterday and had an amazing experience! Our waitress, Marriana, gave us the best service we’ve had in all of Portugal. She was approachable, always smiling, kind, and gave us genuine recommendations. We tried the passion fruit sangria, octopus, and sandwich #14 (with Brie and caramelised onions). Everything was excellent! The sangria was rich in citrus and fresh fruit, the octopus was perfectly cooked and impressively served as a whole (not just a few tentacles like in most places), and the sandwich was absolutely delicious—even though we had initially hoped to try Bifanas, but Marriana’s recommendation did not disappoint. The prices are also on point. The only small suggestion would be to serve lemon wedges with the octopus. Highly recommended!

Words can’t properly describe how much I loved sandwich no.8 . It was absolutely amazing, the pork was so tender and all the ingredients of good quality.

While in Portugal, trying a Bifana is a must. The Bifana here at Case Guesdes were good but not as good as the ones we had in Lisbon. This restaurant does have other Portuguese dishes on their menu besides Bifana so it is a great place to stop by and have dinner especially after a long day of walking.

Good place to try the Francesinha, ours came loaded with lots of meat, it was great value for the money, in addition to a $3 euro gigantic plate of fries. The gravy it came with was also delicious and made the dish so much better. I have to admit we were skeptical of the francesinha but glad we decided to try it here! We also ordered the octopus but could have given it a miss as it was a bit mushy and not very fresh, although it came with a large portion of spinach that was seasoned well.

Do Norte Café by Hungry Biker, situated on the trendy Rua do Almada, is a charming family-owned cafe that has been making waves in Porto. The cozy outdoor seating area with comfortable couches and delectable coffee make it a great spot to relax. Their phenomenal smoothies are not only delicious but also nutritious. While the portions can be quite generous, the cafe's atmosphere and fantastic food make it worth a visit.
We tried the other hungry bikers place, we don't want to miss this one. They have similar choices of food and drinks but this one is more special with a backyard garden and more space. The waiting time was the same and the service was super fast. We even got a customized menu since we wanted meat on our platter. I recommend visiting here also for the awesome experience of location and siting.

visited this brunch place twice while I stayed in Porto and I have no regrets about it! the salty pancakes were unlike any other breakfast food i’ve had and filled with spinach making it nutritious!! since i visited twice, the second time i tried the salmon salty waffles. both dishes were my all time favorite breakfast meals I’ve had in my lifetime. i visited their sister restaurant, Floresta cafe, and since i brought this up they gave me a complimentary smoothie when i went back to this place! they are extremely kind and welcoming to tourists such as myself! other than the free smoothie, i got the ginger latte iced , and a peach matcha the second time which was a seasonal drink i believe. would recommend to anyone visiting porto.

A delicious brunch spot. The atmosphere is fun yet cozy. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, we felt taken care of. And the food - wow! So, so, so delicious. We enjoyed the mango smoothie, strawberry banana smoothie, the Do Norte French toast, and the breakfast burger with roast potatoes. The crispy choriço on the burger - yum! The fruit on the French toast was so fresh and flavourful and the orange port sauce/syrup was great. 10/10.

Wow. I think that the menu over explained things such that we were truly wondering about what to order. My suggestion is to just say - best breakfast bun a biker could hope for”, and “tell us if you have allergies”. As the texture was like a soft cloud, and the favour was a storm of beauty. Their “Good Local Wine” was great for 5€. Good pour. Worth trying to find this place. We went at 3pm on a Sunday. Seating was available.

First of all, the staff was very attentive, friendly, and polite. We explained we were in a hurry, and the service was very prompt. Both the French toast and the salmon royal toast were delicious. Prices were average: 8.95 for the French toast and 12.95 for the royal toast. The portions were quite filling. There's a line of people out the door, but you don't have to wait long; they're immediately attentive and let you in. I'll definitely be returning.

We visited Do Norte Café in Porto for breakfast and overall had a lovely experience. The café is cozy and welcoming, tucked away on Rua do Almada. The décor is relaxed and warm, with a pleasant mix of indoor seating and some natural light. What we liked: The portions are generous — we left satisfied. Food was fresh and flavorful (smoothies, toasts, eggs, etc.). The staff were friendly and attentive, and service was fairly prompt even when the café was busy. It’s pet-friendly, which is a nice touch if you’re traveling with a dog. Things to be aware of: It can get crowded, especially in the morning, so you might have to wait a short while for a table. Some menu items are on the pricier side for Porto, though the quality helps justify it.

Japanese restaurant
Shiko - Tasca Japonesa is a breath of fresh air in Porto, presenting itself as an izakaya, or Japanese tavern. It offers uncomplicated sushi and Japanese delights like okonomiyaki and fried eggplant with sweet miso sauce. The lunch menus are a highlight, catering to solo diners with options ranging from 12 to 21 euros. The cozy space with only about 25 seats encourages solo dining.
This place is such a hidden gem! It’s unmarked, and we almost missed it. According to the staff, the restaurant has been open for 10 years and is mostly frequented by locals. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and not overly seasoned. We’ll definitely be coming back

I liked! The food is tasty and fresh. They don’t let too many people at once, so you don’t need to wait too long for the food that takes time to be prepared. I especially liked the Marinated Cavala. It’s not at an ordinary another sushi place. I think, people who want to explore Japanese dishes beyond sushi would enjoy it the most. It’s better to reserve in advance.

Excellent food in a cozy setting. Small place that puts love into their food. Suggestion is to order 4 dishes as they’re quite small and are to be combined. Sushi is smaller than average, but the quality is spectacular. Every single bite was delicious, especially the gunkan. Price follows quality.

Actually good Japanese / sushi in the area. Some dishes are a bit more fusion but overall quite good. Really enjoyed the handmade gyozas and the ceviche and the futomaki. Fast service, small restaurant so do book ahead or go when they open for a chance to walk in

SHIKO - TASCA JAPONESA made a great first meal in Porto, Portugal. The best of local fresh seafood prepared by a Portuguese chef inspired by Japanese izakayas. First time seeing Turbot on any sushi menu, two preparations were fantastic. Horse Mackerel was a highlight. Seafood stuffed Okonomiyaki was a great twist on traditional preparation. A great little place I'd seek out regularly if I lived here.

Absolutely loved this tiny gem of a restaurant. We had the “Japanese tapas” or small plates. Octopus in a delicate béchamel sauce in a risois style fritter, a sweet sesame chicken dish, gyoza with shrimp, tempura green beans, and a really great tuna Tiradito. Plus brownie for dessert! The staff were lovely, the table cozy and the service fast. Highly recommend.

The staff was super nice, the restaurant is relatively small so definitely make a reservation or else there is a good chance they wont have space. We did have a reservation but where a bit late, around 20/30 mins(due to heavy traffic), but luckily they still had a table for me and my girlfriend. We loved the food, it tasted super nice! My favorite was the crispy chicken and my girlfriend's the Tuna dish. Definitely a good place to eat if you are closeby in Porto!

O Astro Cervejaria Petisqueira is a cozy and charming spot that offers a taste of authentic Portuguese cuisine. It's known for its delicious spicy pork sandwiches called bifanas, which are tender and flavorful. In addition to the savory sandwiches, they also serve traditional dishes like caldo verde (kale soup) and papas, a thick soup made with blood and shredded meat. The service is fast and friendly, despite the bustling atmosphere.
Found the place online but it was also recommended to us by locals. So don't be afraid of the hype. Its definitely a worthy one. Had my bifana at the bar for a true local experience. There are a couple of other options which I didn't try yet I noticed that all the locals were having soup after eating their sandwich. Either way a must try place when you visit Porto.

Ordered a Bifana sandwich and a Caldo Verde. The Bifana was delicious, but the Caldo Verde was a bit bland. It's nice to see the old ladies busy in the kitchen. You can tell they care about the food. It's right across Campaña station and still very affordable. Give it a try.

Hit up this restaurant for quick snack after arriving at Campanhã station. Vibe out on the street was good as it was well attended. Inside had AC and lots of seating which was pleasant surprise from the busy street side tables. The bifana tasted good but we don’t have any other bifanas to compare it to. It was sandwich only so sides need to be ordered with it. We ordered bovine and chicken burger meals and they arrived bunless keto-style. All good if you expect it but we sure didn’t! Service was good, our server came back several times to check on us and spoke good English.

Went here for my birthday brunch whilst visiting Porto and it is somewhere that should not be missed! Looks tiny from the outside but is a large space with a cute courtyard. Great menu where I could not decide between 3 things-but made a great choice! Mimosas were mandatory because it was my birthday. Service was fab and have already recommended to friends who are visiting this year! You do need to book-easy to do via socials!

We came for a late breakfast and ordered the Parliament Benny and Fan-sea Bagel. The food was good, but it didn’t blow us away. The sandwiches were a bit dry, especially the one with salmon—it could have used some sauce or maybe more avocado. The waitress was friendly, though very shy. The place is nice and well-kept. Overall, it was fine.

Came here for the pancakes. Surely, they didn’t disappoint me. Sooo fluffy but I don’t know if it was bcs I ended so full that omg, I don’t want to have a pancake in a while. I recommend to go with more people, so you can try more than one dish and share. Portions are very generous, I promise. The place was super quite, despite the music was funny, and the service was correct, all the girls were nice and super chill. Also the owner or manager really attentive and seams to care for his customers. All good vibes around here. The only thing is that the food took a bit in arriving and I would add another option for pancake sides (like chocolate or another fruit)

Overrated definitely. The place has a nice atmosphere. The food is usual and more about wrapping. So looking at the prices and ratings - expectations were much higher We had hair in one of the dished and had to cancel it. And it was not to pleasant process to replace it (though it was deducted from a bill) Portugal has lots of places that worth visiting and that level of rating

We came here for breakfast and it was fantastic! I had the “desert eggs” (basically shakshuka— great savory vegetarian option) and my partner had the “like a boss” (chicken and waffles) and we both LOVED our dishes! The coffee was amazing too, and the staff were very friendly and helpful and even gave us a map of the city. Definitely stop by if you’re looking for brunch in Porto

This restaurant has the best customer service for making you feel welcome. They ask you for your preferences for seating and even if you need to charge your phone. The food is fine, they do not have jam for your toast and they only have one cheese if you want for your eggs and it comes on the side. We ordered a side of Mac n cheese and it was forgotten, but did arrive eventually. The seating is the best in the city and it's quiet, intimate. You feel relaxed and not pressured to be in a hurry.

Food was okay, Pork knuckle was really tasty, falling out of bone, do delicious, however side dish that you get with it was also good but portion is very small and not in proportion with the meat where you get really good amount of it. Other dish however, was nothing special, bacalar with egg and vegetables. It had some tomato taste which is fine but overall lacking some spices or something. Position of restaurant is nice, on the street.

Since I moved to Portugal, it has been my dream to try chorizo cooked over fire. And it just so happened that during this trip to Porto, when I remembered about it, we were right next to a place with a good rating and lots of reviews. The chorizo turned out just as I imagined — first a little fire show, and then juicy chorizo with cold beer — everything you need to enjoy the last sunny days. But be careful: if it’s windy outside, you’ll get a dose of fear along with your dish when the flames start blowing in your direction.
Polina M — Google review
I genuinely don’t get the hype of this place — the food was super cold, flavourless and the price per quality is off (9,90€ for a prego with Brie and 5,90€ for a small glass of wine is exorbitant). They get an extra star for the super nice staff and incredible roof top terrace, but overall not worth it!

Good flaky pastry, custard wasn’t the best. Service was non existent. Perhaps from the crowds and inefficient order. If you are ordering takeaway you can order at the counter but if you are planning to sit down you need to wait for the waitstaff to come take your order which took like 15/20minutes even though I only wanted 2 tarts. Decided to takeaway instead. Better places in Porto for egg tarts so can give this place a miss

This was an odd experience, with more wrong than right, but some real positives at the same time. We were looking for somewhere to have lunch, liked the location and the look of the menu, and sat down. We both opted for the Lisboa salad at 11 euros 50, including a soft drink and one of the Nata pasties, which is a very good price by UK standards. I ordered a sardine salad, and my wife ordered a Mediterranean salad. The waitress came back and checked if I definitely wanted sardines and I confirmed that I did. We waited around 35 minutes for the food, and when it came I got a tuna salad instead of a sardine one. I really didn't want to wait for another prolonged period for it to be replaced, so I just ate it. Both salads were very good. We then had our Nata pastry, which was spectacular, and a coffee, which was also very good. Despite the very slow service, and the wrong order, I came away with a great deal of sympathy for the member of staff. She was friendly, cheerful, and working hard under difficult circumstances, trying to do everything herself. Since COVID hospitality has been struggling across the world and it's very difficult to get the balance of service, ingredients and price right. This was a nice place to watch the world go by, with a lot to see on a warm day, so it wasn't a great deal of hardship to have a long wait. Everyone didn't feel that way however, and there was some grumbling and complaining from other customers.

Had to wait almost one hour to be served. I tried ordering directly from the counter but they won’t let you if you are eating in. I ended up having to wait for a waiter who was clearly occupied elsewhere and ignored my table for more than 40 minutes. The Pasta de Nata was nice but I don’t think it was exceptional and worth the wait. I like mine a bit crunchy on the outside and that was personally missing. I also got a Galão, which was good. Overall quite cheap (except the cappuccino which is overpriced). I spent under €4.

Heard this is the best place in the city to try Pastel de Bacalhau, and this place did not disappoint. I tried this cordfish fitter with cheese and this was crispy on the top and cheesy inside. There is a strong smell and taste of the cordfish but still this is delicious. The store itself is very well designed and they have outdoor seating options available. The pricing is moderate and the quantity is decent.

The codfish cake is a traditional portoguese snack especially from the countryside. The twist here is that they add cheese in it. You can get it in a set with a Porto wine for a reasonable price. You can even keep the wine glass as souvenir! The codfish cake itself is decent, even if it’s my first time trying it. You get a good taste of the fish and the cheese. It wasn’t served hot in my case. But the service and ambiance of the place makes up for it, as you can see in my photos.

I tried the pastel de bacalhau with cheese from this place. It was okay, but I felt it could have been better. The flavors were a bit lacking, and since it’s mainly potato and cheese, there’s room to make it more flavorful. That said, I had a great experience trying this authentic Portuguese codfish cake. The atmosphere is lovely, the presentation was excellent, and the staff were really nice. They took the time to explain what we were ordering even before we placed it, and they were very welcoming and cheerful throughout.

The Pastel de Bacalhau doesn't taste rich or good like in other more traditional locations. Less Bacalhau in the potato mash results in a mild taste. Inside was a mild cheese to make it special but cheese inside a Pastel de Bacalhau is not traditional. It was dry and not that great for 5 euro each. But the ambient of the location was amazing. I think it's more for tourists.

Really wonderful experience ordered a variety of entrées and appetizers and they were all delicious and unique. The waiter couldn’t have been more helpful in explaining the menu. The pork cheeks could be cut with a spoon, came with a sizable portion of polenta that sucked up the juices from the meat, which made it even more delicious. The steak was tender, medium rare, and came with what I will call a chimichurri sauce, the shrimp curry was unlike any other curry earthy and full of spice with a little heat. they have a great upstairs space which would be perfect for larger parties.

Market
Mercado Beira-Rio is a popular food market located in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal. It offers a magnificent night view and wonderful daytime scenery. The market is known for its authentic Portuguese food and lovely Italian restaurant, making it a hub for Port wine enthusiasts. Visitors can also enjoy the glasshouse restaurant by the Douro River and indulge in wine tasting at Quevedo Lodge nearby.
This isn't really a market but a food court. They offer a great selection of different little restaurants with a big selection of Portugese food. We went for the seafood selection and got some oysters and octopus. Only downside is, that it is a little crowded and doesn't offer enough seating. The food was really good and we enjoyed it in combination with some wine from the region. You should check out this place !

A great spot to try different local food and beer. The atmosphere is festive, but due to the crowd, it can feel a bit stuffy. On the right side, you’ll find a stand with delicious fresh fruit and juices run by two lovely older ladies.

I recently visited Beira Rio and had a really nice experience overall. I ordered a pizza, and it turned out to be delicious — freshly made, well-cooked, and served in a good portion size, definitely worth the price. What I really appreciated was the variety of vegetarian options available on the menu, which is quite impressive and makes it a great place for vegetarians as well. It’s not always easy to find restaurants with such a balanced mix of options, so that was definitely a plus point. The location of Beira Rio adds to its charm. It’s beautifully situated, offering a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere that makes it a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy good food. The ambiance is modern yet cozy, making it ideal for both casual meals and small gatherings. Another thing I noticed and liked was that the staff and people around communicate well in English, which makes it comfortable and convenient, especially for visitors. Overall, Beira Rio is a great place for food lovers, especially those who enjoy quality vegetarian options and a peaceful dining environment. With good food, friendly service, and a wonderful location, it’s definitely a place I’d love to visit again.

Good barbecue. The dishes of the day are usually very good also. They have a huge dinning room, so you are almost certain to find a table. Staff is very expedite and friendly. The place is a bit noisy, but you can have a conversation without much trouble. They have lots of TV sets all over, which I don't particularly like. Try not to seat right below the giant screen and you'll be fine. They have an exclusive parking lot, which makes it very easy to get there by car.

We had a couple of days left in Porto and were craving piri-piri chicken, so we found Churrasqueria Portuguesa do Amial, about 20 minutes outside the city, and took an Uber over. It was around 5 p.m. and the place was completely empty, but thankfully open. Even though we had the whole restaurant to ourselves, it’s a really big place with tons of seating in our room, another large dining area next door, and probably more in the back. You can easily imagine how busy it gets later with locals, especially since the prices are so affordable. The seating was very comfortable too, which made it a great spot to relax and enjoy the meal. We actually found this restaurant from watching Mark Wiens and Taste Porto on YouTube, and we’re so glad we followed their recommendation because the food was A+. The caldo verde soup was spot on, loaded with chunks of chorizo and perfectly balanced. We ordered the chicken and ribs combo with extra spicy piri-piri, fries, and rice, and everything was exceptional. Honestly, it was one of my favorite meals from our 14-day trip through Portugal. I loved it so much that I kept eating even when I was full, just trying to hang onto that flavor before heading back to the States. We don’t have anything like this near us, so it’s something we’ll definitely try to recreate at home. Other than the pastéis de nata, this is probably the food we’ll miss the most from Portugal. The service was great, and we ended the meal with a whiskey tart ice cream cake that was incredible. If you’re in Porto and craving authentic piri-piri chicken or ribs, Churrasqueria Portuguesa do Amial is the place to go. Great food, comfortable setting, and an experience we won’t forget.

Beautifully designed restaurant with lovely details. The restaurant really tells a story with the architecture inside. Many places to be seated, outside patio with sunshade and a beautiful indoor dining room. The Benedict I got was interesting, not my favourite style of Benny as I’d prefer a more solid base rather than the pancake. But regardless, it was very good. Their coffee is excellent. Service was great as well, our host was funny and attentive to our needs, and even moved all our stuff to the outdoor patio when we requested. 8/10!

Would skip coming here to eat. The food is just aesthetic but the flavors are just not there. We asked for the pancakes which were extremely dry as if they were from two days ago, the acai bowl is really not it, and the same with the red velvet cake very very dry. Plus not even the drinks made the cut. I have always been a fan of Negra near Casa da Música so I was surprised with the contrast between these two. This one just feels dry. I came here after the renovations expecting better but it was still the same and I was very disappointed. This is my review and im clearly not a competitor, and everyone has different tastes of course but I just didn’t enjoy and there was no kindness. My friends felt the same. P.S: they were very passive aggressive in my review which is just an opinion, and for me that shows lack of consideration towards clients feedbacks. Google reviews are not a place of hatred but to express our considerations. If I had a business like they indicated I was a “competitor” I wouldnt be passive agressive but take the reviews as feedback. Thank you. Obrigada.

Padaria Ribeiro, one of the oldest bakeries in Porto with a 146-year history, is renowned for its delectable croissants and pastries. The bakery's signature amanteigado croissant undergoes a slow leavening process and is finished with a sugar syrup while still warm, creating an irresistibly sweet treat.
This is my absolute favorite bakery. Everything I get is so delicious. I can’t say it’s the most affordable place but it’s definitely well worth it. Especially the carrot cake is incredible. I would get it every single day if it fit my budget just a bit more. 10/10

Recommend the bakery, not so much the cafe. If you want to eat there, do not make the mistake of ordering from the cafe menu they give you! (Limited options, cold and unappealing pastries). Instead, take a picture of the pastry you want from the bakery and show it to the waiter. I didn’t realize they had this option until I overheard a staff member telling another customer :(

Bakery with many options! We ordered a variety of the pastries to eat in. Weirdly none of the savoury pastries are heated up, so everything was cold and honestly not very good.

These small steamed buns come with a variety of fillings, from traditional options like pork belly to more unique choices such as codfish or soft-shell crab. The restaurant has garnered praise for its flavorful offerings, including the gua bao filled with pork belly and the adventurous crab bao featuring soft shell crab tempura.
From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. The food was fantastic. Some of the best cheese fries and softshell crab I've eaten in Portugal so far! When we sat down, they brought my dog a bowl of water and a plate of snacks which were only for the dog and not to be eaten by us although they smelled good enough to eat!

Bao’s is one of my favourite places in Porto. I’ve been a customer for years, specially through takeaway and delivery. But lately, the quality is just not the same.

I tried the vegan tofu bao. As an idea, it was great. As for the taste it definitely fell short - the tofu was unseasoned and not firm to be placed in a burger/bao.

Love this place so much! Came several times while in Porto as the food is delicious! Had the avocado bowl and Mediterranean bowl first time in here. Both so amazing! The Mediterranean with black rice was so good I didn’t want it to end. The avocado was fresh filling and tasty- a bit more tart from vinaigrette. Most recent visit for lunch I got the hummus appetizer and honey goat bowl filled with veggies fruits and nuts. Both superb and fresh! Won’t go wrong with anything here. Great atmosphere, music decor, healthiest food choices and nice staff. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love Honest Greens for its delicious food and welcoming atmosphere — it’s one of my favorite places, and I always enjoy coming back. However, today I had an experience that left me disappointed. When we arrived, there were no clean or available tables, so we had to wait for one to be free. Once we sat down, the table was still dirty from the previous guests. I politely asked the waitress to have it cleaned when my friend’s food was brought out. Unfortunately, she ignored the request. Then, when my own dish arrived, she calmly placed the plate right on the dirty table, over the crumbs and mess. I asked again for the table to be cleaned, but nothing happened — even after waiting for five minutes without starting my meal. Eventually, we moved to another table. Ironically, a large family sat down at our old table shortly after, and one of the women wiped it herself with a napkin. With all due respect to the waitress and full understanding of how demanding the job can be — would it really have been so difficult to ask a colleague or take a moment to clean the table? Such a beautiful place with amazing food truly deserves more attention to details like this. After all, enjoying a meal is also about the cleanliness of the space.

Even smelled like an egg. 6/5 Brownie with ice cream: this thing was tragic. Brownie is served at room temperature and was so so dry / stale. Ice cream was nice that went on top Overall I’d say 3.5/5 but more places like this need to stay open so I’ll say a 4 overall.

Korean restaurant
Ondo Korean Kitchen is a cozy diner that offers a wide range of authentic and delicious Korean comfort food. From bibimbap to kimbap, tteokbokki, fried chicken, and kimchi fried rice, the menu is filled with flavorful options. The off-menu kimchi soup is a must-try for those who can handle the spice. Despite not being listed on the menu, it's highly recommended by locals.
During my ‘sick week’ I watched Asian (and Korean) cooking competitions on TV, then I did a review of restaurants in Porto and went to this one for a tasting 🥢. You did not disappoint me, it was truly an experience for my taste buds. Thank you, it had everything I expected! 🫰🏻🫰🏻🫰🏻 I will definitely come back and highly recommend it!

The food was amazing. And the staff were super friendly. It was very welcoming. The boss quickly greeted us once we stepped in. She also went around to all the tables to greet and check if we needed anything. Tons of local Portuguese, and Koreans old and young came in. We knew it would be good food even before ordering. We ordered definitely too much for two people but we ate every last bite. It was just that good. We were too full so we said maybe no ice cream with the Hottoek. The boss recommended the dessert with ice cream, so we had to add it. We left super full but also super satisfied. If we were to stay a few more days we def would have come back

Lovely Korean food in a little side street but worth the visit. Korean born owner operated. Street parking available and vegetarian options on the menu. Quite a few customers from Asia were there when I went. That’s always a good sign! I’d go back!

If you want authentic korean food in Porto you need to come here! Everything is delicious and the portions are big. I personally recommend the bibimbap. It’s light but filling. They also have a variety of korean fizzy drinks and alcohols. The owner is also super nice and welcoming!

Had a lovely dinner for two here the other night. We went for kimchi jjigae (김치 찌개) and japchae (잡채), which was plenty. Although the japchae is listed as a starter, it’s a pretty big portion. The staff were helpful and friendly, plus they speak excellent English. Highly recommended :)

A very nice Korean restaurant in town! We went as a group of two and ordered three dishes: honey and soy sauce fried chicken (without rice), dumpling salad, and gimbap. The food was amazing, we were super full and even had to take some leftovers home. The service was excellent as well. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Korean food in town!
Mai V — Google review
We ordered the soy honey chicken, grandmas kimchi stew, 6 handmade meat dumplings, Omu rice, dol sot bi bim bap and the salad Kim bap. And everything was SO delicious & authentic! The sauces were all very good too and we just wanted to keep eating more! My Portuguese mother in law liked it too! I can’t wait to come back. So so good! 😊 I only had the omu rice photo. The rice was saucy with this sauce that was a bit sweet and tangy and cheesy. It went really well with the kimchi stew. I think Ondo’s kimchi stew is the best I’ve had in Portugal.

Musa das Virtudes is a new and characterful beer bar in Porto, offering 12 beers on tap and a variety of cans and bottles from Lisbon brewery Musa. The industrial vibe, cool artwork, and river view create a local bar atmosphere. Despite the World Cup crowds, it's possible to find seating at unusual times. The outdoor area provides a lovely spot for enjoying the park at sunset with 19 beers on tap to choose from.
Favourite Place in Porto! The atmosphere, the food, the beer, just everything is amazing. We are there regularly and enjoy it every time. You wouldnt expect the food to be that good! The potatoes, the chicken Sandwich, the vegan burger and the cheese waffles are our favourites. They also let you try the beer if you cant decide! 10/10 <3

Honestly here, I am quite disappointed because of the cold bun , low quality potatoes, fried too much and they forgot about the olive salsa and cutlery . Also on the menu it says chickpeas vegan burger, but it tasted everything else, besides chickpeas.. I was very impressed about the Ipa beer, very very good taste 👅, also found a lovely staff member who was very nice, the rest of staff seem really annoyed with their work. Overall, I will come back for the beer, not recommending the vegan burger 🍔, sorry 😔

Great craft beer place with sunset view. Had burgers and fried pigs ear. The pigs ear was interesting but probably not for everyone's taste. It had a nice smokey coating.

The food and the beer are fantastic and it’s one of our favorite spots in Porto. We were there today and they had a special carnaval menu that had one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. SANDES DE MORTADELA, QUEIJO E MOSTARDA is so good we came back later and split another one. It’s crazy good.

If you're on the hunt for a delicious culinary experience in Portugal, look no further than Frango, particularly known as frango no churrasco or frango no brasa. This mouthwatering dish features chicken grilled to perfection with piri piri sauce, often served alongside a refreshing salad and crispy fries. For an authentic taste, seek out churrasqueiras—barbecue joints that specialize in this beloved fast food.
Absolute gem near the Campagna station! We had fish of the day (I think it was Robalo...?) and the grilled chicken and both were amazing !! 동네맛집같은 느낌이예요!

We came in a group of 10 and we are extremely satisfied with the food and service. Very good grilled chicken and it was juicy and flavourful. The sussage is a must to order . The steak is nice too . They also recommend a good wine to go with it. The price of the food was very reasonable and the portion was big. Is a MUST to visit if you are in proto .

Service was okay ...a bit too funny but always polite. But: the chicken kebab was black burned from outside and raw from inside. The fish for my wife was burned as well. The mussels in my 'arroz de marisco" were a bit to old and the shrimp intestine was horrible. The basic taste of that stew was good, but I got better ones at other places

Nestled in the heart of Porto, Churrasqueira Palácio is a delightful spot that marries traditional cooking techniques with a contemporary vibe. Known for its marinated chicken, which soaks up spices for hours, this eatery promises an unforgettable culinary experience. If you're craving grilled meats, this is the place to be! Guests often find themselves seated promptly and enjoying attentive service—though it's wise to heed your waiter's advice on portion sizes since they are quite generous.
Churrasqueira Palácio in Porto is an absolute gem! The food was outstanding, with excellent taste, quality, and unbeatable prices. We tried the Posta, Cabrito, and a Vegetarian Burger, and every dish was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who made the experience even better. The wine and beer selection was excellent, pairing perfectly with our meals. This is a true local spot where you can enjoy authentic, high-quality food in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Porto—don’t miss it!
Jose P — Google review
The food here is genuinely good, with classic Portuguese flavors and generous portions. We ordered the Bacalhau à Braga, which came in a huge portion easily enough for four. The “arroz de feijão” (bean rice) was also a hit — especially with my son. I also had the “prego no prato”, which was tender, flavorful, and well served. Now for the experience: service is very much in the traditional Portuguese style — short, rushed, and not exactly warm. Our waiter even tried to suggest pricier dishes instead of what we ordered, which felt a bit pushy. The restaurant was hot and stuffy, with no air circulation, which made the meal slightly uncomfortable — likely to save on air conditioning. Overall, come for the food, but don’t expect friendly service or a cozy environment. Just know what you want, stand your ground, and enjoy the flavors.
Franklin L — Google review
A gem of a place, We discovered this traditional Portuguese restaurant by complete serendipity! The place doesn't look like much from outside but inside is a pretty big restaurant with a bar and with a back garden too. The grilled cod was absolutely fresh and delicious. It was served with baked potatoes, capsicum, onions and olives....all very good, and slathered with olive oil. I added a generous sprinkling of salt and chilli 🌶 oil to custumise further :). The portion size was way more than expected. I asked for the half portion (18 euros) and that itself was good for two. I had to pack half of it. The rice and beans (3 euros) was good too...simple but wholesome and delicious. It seems like a very popular place for locals too. Such good food at that extremely reasonable price is like a dream come true! Totally recommend this place!!

What a find! Just steps away from our accommodations (Oporto Loft), Churrasqueira Palacio has a very nice selection of dishes from which to choose and seating both inside and in an outside patio. We had a flight mid afternoon, so got there early, and glad we did, because people begin to stream in, and before long there were literally about 100 people there. So I’d say this place is really popular! My wife and I shared a whole. Peri-peri chicken with fries (absolutely delicious!), and the price, including drinks and tip, was just less than €25. It’s closed on Sunday and Monday, otherwise we would’ve eaten here more than once!

This cozy spot offers an enticing a la carte menu alongside a set menu featuring delightful dishes like shakshuka, roasted pepper hummus on toast, and scrumptious scones with homemade jam. Each week brings a fresh brunch selection inspired by the vibrant produce available in the market.

Incredible fusion and balance of flavors. You can have a “menu of the day” for ~13 euros which changes daily. The ingredients are fresh and high quality. I had a salad with tomato and watermelon that was one of the best bites I’ve had all summer. It seems a little bit off the path if you’re visiting Porto, but definitely worth the visit. Thanks for such an amazing experience!

Amazing place for weekday lunch and Saturday brunch. To me, this is a pretty unique place. Changing the menu every day is a lot of work. I had a wine bar, and the charging menu even seasonally was a really headache. I would say most of the times combinations work. The only recommendation would be to dare more with seasoning and spices.

Mafalda’s, tucked away inside Mercado de Matosinhos, is a charming spot with a welcoming vibe. Remember to place your order beforehand, as it’s a popular local favorite. The dishes are outstanding, featuring generous portions and thoughtfully selected ingredients that deliver authentic, delightful flavors. Though it might not be an absolute must-visit destination, if you’re in the area, it’s definitely worth a stop - you won’t regret it. I tried their veggie lasagna and instantly fell in love with it; the taste was simply exceptional. Mafalda’s offers a genuinely enjoyable dining experience that leaves you satisfied and eager to return.

My wife and I have traveled a lot together in Portugal, so when we say that this is probably our favorite place for lunch here in this beautiful country, that might be saying something. Definitely stop by Mafalda's when you are in Porto - and more specifically in the characteristic harbor district of Matosinhos - you will really not regret it. Original recipes, not expensive at all, super healthy and very friendly: everything a person could want.
