The 15 best spots for fried chicken in Porto

Iconic location with an atmosphere that feels truly authentic. The food was exactly what you’d hope for in Porto — fresh, flavorful, and generous. The shrimps were outstanding: perfectly cooked, fresh, and rich with flavor. The grilled sardines were the ideal first-night meal in Porto — simple, traditional, and absolutely delicious. Service was excellent — quick, efficient, and very friendly. A small tip: make sure to put your name on the waitlist when you arrive, as there is almost always a queue. The system runs smoothly, and the short wait is well worth it. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to dive straight into genuine Portuguese flavors and a great dining experience in the heart of Porto

My companions and I had an excellent meal here! I tried to make reservations via phone but my call wasn’t answered. So we just went there for a late lunch, and had a wait of 20 minutes. The staff is efficient and they try to sit you asap. Once you have your table, the staff is really helpful and answers your questions. The food comes in quite fast. The octopus rice was splendid and the octopus fillet was unbelievably tender. The tripe was the highlight for me though. It was so rich, complex, and tender. I hope it was easier to get reservations, but it’s worth the wait. It was an amazing meal for our last day in Porto!

If you want to eat something near the river side, I would pick here! Prawn was good. Sauce was with deep seafood favor. Octopus was pretty ok as well. Staff were nice. We went there for just simple food and a glass of wine then liked prawn so ordered more food to just have dinner there!!!!!

This was our second time dining here. Our first visit was with a reservation, but this time we walked in. There was a bit of a wait, but it was absolutely worth it. The food is amazing! I loved the oxtail stew and the Arouquesa veal steak. And don’t forget to order the orange pie for dessert it’s a must-try. The service is excellent as well. I’ll definitely be coming back every time we visit Porto!

This was our first dinner place in Porto and it did not disappoint. You may have to wait a bit for a table, but it would be worth it. It’s close to the river but tucked away on a little narrow uphill street that lends a quaint atmosphere of authenticity to it. The portions of the mains is pretty big, I’m a hearty eater, I can really eat a lot, but the servings for one main would be good for two people, particularly if you would be doing an appetizer, and dessert after. My partner and I made the mistake of getting one main each. We tried the Tripe stew and the veal stew. Both were very rich. The tripe was tender, not gamey, and was stewed with white beans and some carrots making it a very filling dish. The veal was also very tender, perfectly seasoned, and had a moderately thick sauce perfect for sopping up with bread. We also had the croquettes for starters which were a bit too creamy inside (the outer shell was nice and crispy, and the jesuit crackers which were light and fluffy. We were very full in the end so the climb/walk up the hilly parts was a wee bit challenging but kinda welcome. Pro tip: just really think about whether you need to have two mains, best to share one.

What an amazing find! The inside is like you're in a wine barrel. The wait staff was attentive and knowledgeable...and fun. The food was amazing. I had the Lagareiro Octopus and it was one of the best things I've eaten over my 2 weeks in Portugal. My sister had the Lagareiro cod, which was also delicious, but the octopus was outstanding. Go there - you will not be disappointed

We had the final meal of our short break in Porto here, and a fitting finale it was. Superb food, with a friendly service in a really nice atmosphere. We shared Codfish croquettes and Octopus salad to start, both fresh and flavoursome. For mains it was Octopus fillet which came with Octopus rice, across the table it was Oxtail stew with rice. Both dishes were superb. We stumbled across this place earlier in the day, and said we'd go back later, and weren't disappointed, I would recommend anyone to try this small restaurant which is slightly off the beaten track.

If you can look past the loud tourists, the bifanas are truly yummy. I love the spice and how fresh they were. The vegetable soup was very good too. Nice job!

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!

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.

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. 🇵🇹🔥

Delicious bifana. Lucas and colleagues were welcoming, helpful, friendly. Authentic local taste and atmosphere, fast food. Shared counter top with other locals. Thank you, Lucas for preparing my bifana

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. Service was always fast and nice at the 2 locations I’ve been to ( Progresso& Tradicional). I will be coming back for sure each time I will visit Porto.

Honorable mention to the staff, they were all amazing and made us feel really welcomed. The food was amazing too. They have lots of different options so it was amazing. Every dish was spectacular. Would definitely recommend and give the carrot cake and chocolate mousse cake a try.

The perfect 5 star restaurant with great service, super food and grand ambiance. The authentic dishes are served alongside the contemporary food menu that has a vast choice. The drinks are served from a large selection available.

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.

The best francesinha I have ever had in my trip around Portugal. The sauce tasted handmade, the meats were so tender and juicy, everything was full of flavor. O asked for oranges juice and the oranges were freshly squeezed.

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.

A great Bifana, better than Conga's. Much smaller and cozier and the bartender was a great guy!

This is pinnacle comfort food and an amazingly low price. Hot soup, bifanas, beer, it's the family-friendly feeling you get when you sit down and eat here. It just feels cozy, and food tastes like home cooking.

Found it online. My accomodation was around the corner. So each time i was passing by, hungry or not, i was stopping for their special Bifana. Also healthier than any burger or kebap.

Very Delicious Bifana, not very consistent in terms of taste and quality of meat but still definitely worth it.

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.

Very good bifana, cheap and tasty red wine, friendly staff and perfect location. If you wait for a train or bus in this area, there's no better place to go!

Loved this place! Not only the beer is so good, but the snacks too, plus the view and cool vibe. Totally recommend.

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.

It’s a venue with great views and great events. I really liked the vibe. You can grab a drink and enjoy the beautiful weather😍

Staff were good and knew their beers, very helpful. Seating area outside has some good views and is nice and shaded by London Lime Trees, very nice in the afternoon sun.

Great spot for beers and snacks. Lots of beers on tap to choose from. Some benches to sit on, and a small green area overlooking the river. Gets lively in the evening!

Mostly locals so most menu weren’t in English. Thankful for pictures and most service stuff speaks English. We enjoyed the Bifana and suckling piglet, both served with chips, and of course coffee with 2 chocolate balls!

An amazing food court for whenever you want to eat. The selection of food here is amazing with an adjoining super market too. If you're not sure of what to eat, you will find something here. We liked the local bakery goods of the pasta del nata, had francesinha, enjoyed the cod as well as porto wine. Honestly a great place to eat different food.

Spacious and cozy gourmet-style food court. Great quality at fair prices. Beautiful architecture and lots of natural light.

This place is absolutely amazing. Grab a drink, wine or a beer and go around with your drink and select your food, then find a very nice spot to enjoy, and enjoy you will

It’s a little out from where the usual tourists spots are, but if you make it here, you will be rewarded. Great ambience, great foods, really local and fairly priced.

Holly Sunday Not busy, super nice food court you won't be too worry about our "bags". Lots of varieties of food like pasta, beer, local, tapas, sushi, seafood, etc... Only one counter offer seafood with oyster, king prawns, etc... looks great. Personally, I like Coffee Point Coffee coz it has lots of flavors with ice also.

It’s a less touristy version of Time Out Market, the atmosphere is modern and with lots more locals here. Here, you’ll find an endless parade of authentic Portuguese dishes, from flaky pastries and chocolate cakes to perfectly poured port, beers, and savoury petiscos. We dove straight into Mariscaria’s seafood platter: tender crab claws, plump shrimp, mussels in a fragrant broth, and that irresistible bread-and-crab-dip couvert. Every bite was fresh, briny, and generously portioned—yet the prices stayed very reasonable. Whether your group can’t agree on appetizers or everyone’s craving something different, this is the perfect spot to graze, share, and discover new favourites together. Visited on a Monday at 1pm, seems to be a fave lunch spot amongst office workers.

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.

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 ! 🇵🇹

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

€6 per each of the bacalao cakes is a bit much. They are traditional so you kinda have to buy one, but they are super dry, and extremely fried. They are eatable, but if you dont get one you wont be missing out.

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.

Low evaluation for Service because it’s self service.. so you need to work to get your expensive food. Bolinhos de bacalhau used to have more cheese 2 years ago.. we got the regular and the extra cheese and even the extra does not have so much cheese like they use to have The place is nice inside and also outside Incredible expensive for what it is

We were walking by and it looked busy. We were just curious what's going on here. The lady kindly explained what's this fish potato bite and in a package it comes with a wine. "Portugal tasting experience" Total €12,5 The shop is really nice, go upstairs to the second floor to have a view from the balcony in good weather & enjoy the library room. I think it's touristic pricey but overall experience with the place is very good.

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.

Wonderful Japanese restaurant! All dishes were spot on! Family of 4 had a great meal here.

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!

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. No restaurant should serve food like this, the bread completely overcooked, ripped apart and I also ordered my favourite dessert, the black sesame ice cream and the bread was also overcooked and dry, it was terrible. Please do better!

We stopped to get a night snack in Porto and my husband decided to buy the burger here. It was his first time eating a Taiwanese burger. For him, it was ok. The price is also reasonable.

We ordered the beef bao and the chicken bao, they were very quick to serve and it was very tasty. I also ordered a salad which has a sort of peanuty sauce which I really enjoyed, the apple tea was also very good. For dessert we had the sesame seed ice cream bao which I thought was amazing but my bf didn't appreciate that much so it's a matter of taste. Overall it was a very pleasant experience

Commenting as a Taiwanese, this is the best Taiwanese restaurant I’ve ever had in the years I’ve been living in Europe! The variant- crab bao is such well made that I think it’ll make it in the Taiwanese market too. Kudos to the chef who’s not even a Taiwanese, you can cook better than me🙈

We ordered a couple of vegan baos (jack and tofu), mandioca chips and beer. For finishing a Nutella cheesecake. Recommended!

Wow! So good, fresh, and fast! It’s a fast-food like environment, but the food is beyond that. We had the meat, pork belly, and tofu baos, with the amazing manioc chips. Everything came in under 7 minutes and was delicious. With two “finos” that cost us 26€.

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. The mango sauce was the dominant element of the dish. I could barely taste the onions or the daikon. The staff are friendly and welcoming.

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

authentic korean cuisine, super friendly staffs and the owner lady got the boneless chicken, comes with rice. sweet and sour and just a little bit of spice. kimchi stew was great as well, also comes with rice and got fried eggs for free! highly recommend (:

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!

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.

This was a wonderful little place! We came here for Rally Fish but will definitely be back. We were served a wonderful little appetizer of relish with sardines, and the desserts were fantastic! Highly recommend!

Great location, first and foremost. Staff were welcoming but waiter then seemed surprised - even a little disappointed - that we both went for the small francesinha rather than the large. However, it was delicious in a tremendous, slightly spicy, sauce. Wife had a large glass of green wine while I just had a delightful 0.4l of very cold beer- the ubiquitous super-bock. You couldn't beat the view or the light bite.

Drooling seafood presented on the table. Came here for lunch then decided to return for dinner to try other great dishes prepared by the chef. Food truely succulent which suit our taste bud. Paired with their house white and rose wine 🍷. Thanks so much for your super friendly services and meal 🍽️

Absolutely delicious. Reservations recommended, but we were so lucky to find a spot by the window without one! Friendly personnel and the most delicious octopus stew I have had in my life.

Absolutely fantastic food in Porto! The stuff is amazing, friendly and knows the menu really well. The location is nice, not that crowded as restaurants next to the river. Food is great, prawns were just incredibly tasty, and the dessert 11/12 (or something like that) was super delicious! Highly recommend! Hope to come back one day!

After arriving late from Lisbon to Porto, I found this restaurant and decided to visit after reading reviews on Google. I visited with my child and ordered grilled octopus, seafood rice, grilled shrimp, and sangria. Overall, it was a bit salty for our family's taste, perhaps because it was meant for seafood. However, it wasn't bad when paired with the accompanying garnish. The sangria was 15 euros for 500ml. It felt quite expensive, but I ordered it just to try it. Is this typical Portuguese sangria? (See photo) It was unbelievable... It was expensive, but it was worth experiencing at least once. While taste buds vary, everyone in my family agreed it was salty. Again, it's best enjoyed with garnish. Not recommended for those sensitive to salt. I also tried the seafood rice for the first time, and while it wasn't quite what I'd seen before, it was a decent experience. (If I were to visit again, I wouldn't order it.) Also, we had a table on the first floor and on the terrace. Since there were no seats on the upper level, we gave up on the view and went to the second floor. While we didn't experience any special service, we had a hard time paying. They were demanding a tip. We didn't add any, but... if we had experienced exceptional service and a unique taste, it wouldn't have been a waste. It's important to serve something from the heart, but... It was frustrating when we had to pay. They persistently asked for a tip for two or three minutes, but we never added one. We won't be back again when we visit Porto. I hope my review was helpful.

We wanted to order the barnacles but were told that its not in season. The young gentleman next to us kindly explained to us that right now the weather is dangerous for the percebeiros (professionals whose job are to harvest percebes or barnacles on the rocks). We got to chat a bit about the seafood culture in Portugal. We ordered stuffed edible crab and grilled tiger prawn. So fresh and delicious. Just before we were about to get the check, we were told that the young man actually was one of the bosses and he sent us a sweet desert! Thanks!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Seafood Experience! I had an amazing dining experience at Perreiro. The seafood was incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked — you can truly taste the quality in every bite. The grilled shrimp was tender and flavorful, and the lobster was absolutely divine.

1st Place for Best Francesinha in Porto,Portugal,Europe,World,Solar system,Galaxy etc etc etc..Unquestionably !! Sauce is just the greatest from all that we have tried in all the top rated francesinhas spots : the High crunchy bread, the juicy steak and all the other meats topped with the right amount of quality portuguese Cheese combining with fantastic rich sauce is just superb eating experince.The Chef just nailed the recipe and good job in keeping it for himself,prove of that is that no one else gets inside that kitchen since the early 80's Still the same chef and co owner since then ,tasca feel with main focus for the high standar quality of the Genuine Sandwich but also very attentive in great beer quality and temperature..Service minded Lady with a honest smile from the time we came in .The place is known by being the favourite number 1 spot of a lot of locals from all areas in Porto ,including some of the Porto celebrities that you can see in photos when you re in there. Dont think twice whenever you have to choose for trying out this dish ,and make sure you book in advance because this place is always packed

Very good typical francesinha place made by a lovely gentleman with all his family working. It's probably the best bread I've had on francesinha

Food was delicious and fresh. Very tasty. Big portions and very filling. Prices are very reasonable. Only issue is they're cash only and didn't tell us beforehand, so we had to go get some cash and come back and pay. So, make sure you have cash on hand if you're dining here.

I received a recommendation for this place to try their francesinha. The dish was wonderful and the service was great. A quieter spot not flooded by tourists. Cash only.

Believe the hype from the other reviews! We moved here a while back and have tried francesinha from many places and this is one of the best in Porto. Definitely worth the trip!

This was where I tried the famous francesinha for the first time, and I loved it. The service is great, and the dish comes out really quickly even when they have lots of customers to serve.

Best Francesinha I had in Porto (I visited 3 different places for it and will, for sure, be back to try more!). The sauce had a lovely spiciness to it and the bread used really soaked it up nicely. Chips were also in point! Most importantly, the service was very friendly, very welcoming, and very warm. Really recommend a visit! NOTE: it's a cash only restaurant

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.

A different lunch menu with very tasty food and amazing dessert every day, and very nice people. The moqueca was great and the chocolate lava cake to die for. Highly recommended for a simple but filling and delicious lunch.

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.

Mafalda’s is such a special place. The menu changes daily and every dish feels thoughtful and different. Great brunches, lovely desserts, and the best staff you could ask for. It’s a place with real soul and personality

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.

Wonderful, authentic spot in the center of Matosinhos. Daily menu is made of unique dishes created with great care and served by a kind, attentive (English speaking) staff.
