We are in Porto for the first time and found this gem by accident. The food was soooo delicious…read more The small entrance with the rotisserie chickens roasting over coals right inside the doorway. Upstairs has three rooms for seating. The wait was about 15 mins but you knew it would be worth the wait because those in line were locals! We enjoyed the chicken fried rice salad and drinks. I had no trouble being served gluten free. We decided to go back today and try a different dish but the place was closed with a sign saying go across the street for chicken. ‍. Perhaps we will try one more time before heading home

We followed the lead from Instagram viral posts for PERI- Peri chicken…read more The place is small and has lines obviously because of the IG posts. Super hot inside. So the told us that across the street there is absolutely the same chicken but with no crowds . So we went. Big disappointment. The chicken was nothing special at all. I expected very juicy and tender chicken , with delicious Peri-Peri sauce. Well the chicken was very mediocre, not juicy and the sauce reminded F1 American sauce. Not tasty at all.

Definitely recommend making a reservation, I found it impressive that the hostess's reservation system was essentially a notebook and pen in this digital age. We did not see much of our waiter, since the restaurant was extremely busy and filled up with diners. Standouts: 1. Razor clams - I'll always get these if I see it on the menu. Cooked in this incredible garlic sauce. 2. Fish and seafood cataplana - delicious, tomato-forward seafood stew; I liked the version that we had the night before more which came with rice and was more filling. But this was basically a never-ending bowl of fish, clams, mussels, and shrimp. Add to that the fact that the restaurant like most in Porto did not have A/C and I emerged feeling like I had been sitting in a sauna. Skipped dessert; I had my eye on the Weeel! froyo truck parked outside. One more nit - the metal chairs are not comfortable at all for sitting a long time in.

We ordered a few tapas to share: croquets de alheira and croquets de codfish. Both were so good! We loved it. The star of the show though was the pork neck tacos! They were so delicious! So much flavor and perfect. I got the lemonade and it was just okay. Nothing special. Overall, would 100% recommend this place! Make a reservation if you can but if you can't, would still try to stop by!

Nice place to sit outside but the food was sub par and the service was bad. If you go try anything…read morefried. The salad was bad and the salmon was horrible enough to skip eating all together. Try the salmon at Rabelos up the street instead. There's so many restaurants in such a small area over there you'd think this place would have it's act together but they didn't really when we went. The food news is - at least when we went - is that they take credit cards. The bad news is most of the rest of it. What a sad place for such an amazing city for food and drink. Go somewhere else instead.

They're a "rissol" shop. That is, those fried, breaded things with meat fillings that look like…read moreempanadas but aren't. You see these all over Portugal in the traditional cafes/cafeterias, but the ones here rise above. Light, crispy crunch with a just-right chewy dough, and then a tasty meat filling. And not one, but two vegetarian options! They also serve beer, coffee, wine, and even popsicles. That said, it's a small spot with only four barstools and one thin bench. Plus four two-seaters outside when weather permits. Try the sardine rissol. I think it's unique and something that's harder to get elsewhere. Service was polite and efficient. Spoke English well. Bathrooms: Didn't see any.

Not to say we didn't have alot of good food, but here each dish received high marks. The chanfana is the local special, so would highly recommend you get that. All of the meat was done well... Crispy outside and fall apart, fork tender on the inside. The staff were also very friendly and personable.

The food is quite good and reasonably priced. We ordered grilled octopus and grilled fish, and fish soup. Our waitress somehow couldn't take our order in time (she was just going around serving other tables). Other than that it was a nice lunch experience.

The best suckling pig to be had in all of Porto. Its way out of the way from the tourist trap…read morerestaurants but what a gem of a place. The suckling pig skin is so crisped that when you bite into it the sound is akin to breaking glass. The meat is also tender and moist. The only complaint that I have is that there is no accompanying sauce, similar to the Filipino sarsa sauce, a tangy liver flavored sauce that ups the level of any pork centered dish. The servers are also ultra friendly and go out their way to make you feel at home. Clearly, this place is really popular with the locals because even though we came at the ungodly hour of 2:30 pm and lunchtime is over at 3, the place was still pack and the servers were still smiling and very helpful and refilling drinks.

My husband is a porcine-pedophile... he just loves suckling pigs, lol. During our travel we've…read moredriven to Mealhada, we detoured to Bairrada, all in the name of finding the holy tail. In Porto, we've tried two places, this and Leitão e Coisas. We can't agree on which is better. Casa dos Leitões has younger pigs which is more tender. But tender and mushy is such a fine line, and therefore I prefer the meatier pig at Leitão e Coisas. Leitão e Coisas has a dipping sauce that's more pungent with garlic and pepper, and here the sauce doesn't overpower. One thing we agree on is that Leitão e Coisas has a better salad. The price here is a better value for the same amount of food. €9 for a good sized portion, and €4 for a half bottle of sparkling. Well, I guess all I say is, both places are excellent to try the famous leitão. One downside of this place is that it's rather out of the way for tourists. If you're visiting one of the port houses up the hill, you're almost half way there, but otherwise, strongly recommend taking Uber. Or hop on the metro and visit the other place. If you are not into pigs, they have one dish of codfish and one of steak, and that's it for alternatives. Also, note that their hours are a bit tricky. We arrived at 6ish for dinner as that's we thought the opening hour is, but turned out that take out starts at 6, and dine in starts at 7. We had to stand in the street for a while till they let us in a bit early. Similarly, dine in for lunch starts at 12:30pm but take out starts sooner.
