It's just off the water so if you wish to eat a little more casual than the restaurants along the river. I think the prices are a little elevated because they are in the touristy area along the Douro but I think less than the more formal sit down restaurants in the surrounding area. There's a good chance you'll find something on your list but if you're looking for an item from a specific restaurant then you probably won't find it here.

We stopped by two beautiful vineyards for delicious wine tastings (Quinta Dos Castelares and Quinta Santa Julia) with a peaceful boat ride on the Douro River in between. The whole day lasted 9am to 6pm. Luis and Pedro did a wonderful job and made the trip seamless and memorable. They mentioned that they partner with different vineyards daily, so you could get other wonderful options for wine if you go on the tour with them. Overall, highly recommend the experience and thank you for a great trip!

I enjoyed her tour of Quinta Santa Eufemia, having lunch at Restaurante Tipico, and one more winery. She stopped at various places to let us take photos, including Regua and Sabrosa (where explorer Magellan lived). She also kept reminding us to drink water and made sure we were comfortable on the windy roads. I also loved that she was a local from Gaia, around the area, and could share many personal stories and experiences about wine in the Douro area. Regarding the tour in general, the 7-seater van was clean, spacious and comfortable, with large windows on either side, and adequate A/C. The river cruise was relaxing, though I was hoping for some commentary from the captain instead of just the boat ride. It didn't hurt that the weather was perfect, sunny but breezy. An excellent value tour, and would definitely recommend to others!

We walked around Porto for over 5 hours. Our guide, Ricardo, was excellent. He was very personable, provided easy conversation. He explained the sites and history of Porto and Portugal. He seemed very knowledgable about many subjects. He seamlessly pivoted to a new subject when we asked questions. It never felt like a memorized preset script. He set an easy going pace - no rush. It allowed us to thoroughly enjoy and absorb what we were seeing. It also let us talk and get to know each other. We did stop at a coupe of restaurants for food and drinks. The food was great. The drinks were good. Highly recommend this tour and especially Ricardo.

The people are friendly and inviting. There is much history here with churches and cathedrals galore. The town is old but historical giving it its charm. There are much options for food from little mom-and-pop shops to fancy affairs. All offering authentic cuisine. Regardless of the choice, all are small and quaint so reservations are highly recommended especially at the mom-and-pops since locals eat there as well. As for sightseeing, I recommend walking about since the town is relatively small. Walk down the narrow streets and navigate your way around to soak in the culture. Go down to the rivers edge and take in the people and scene. Since I'm a foodie, looking for a good place to eat and having wine (or Port) or their local beer, Super Bock, took priority. The town appears to be going through a change as one local told me. Construction work can be seen throughout with cranes and scaffolding pretty much everywhere. There were lots of dilapidated buildings that were unoccupied and some were being renovated. Looks like the old is leaving awaiting the new to come. I think I may have experienced Porto while it was still in its infancy. I can't, or don't want to, imagine what it'll be like in 5 years as I definitely see this as a major tourist destination.
