Thanks!

We cleaned our plates clean. We saw others order their rotisserie chicken plate that comes with rice and French fries. Honestly, you can't go wrong with whatever you order. It's a mix of locals and tourists and the staff know what they're doing. Wished we here more often. It's right off the bus stop at Trindade. No more than a 5 min walk. It's well worth the distance.

Great food & service but be prepared for a smoky environment as the food is cooked on the same…read morefloor as the dining area. The chicken is prepared a little bit different than our last spot, Pedro dos Frangos, where the chicken taste/presentation and overall environment was cleaner. Here, the BBQ style is more charred/smoked, which is usually what I prefer; however, the smoky environment leaves a lasting impression, and not in a good sense, especially if you have sensitive eyes. Also, I noticed here the chicken includes rice & fries (I got potatoes instead of fries). Whereas, at Pedro dos Frangos, everything is a la carte (dine-in), or includes chips (takeaway). Vinho do Porto com Cerveja (port wine with beer) was quite interesting. I'd say it's akin to a raspberry beer.

Bota & Bira was another gem found in Porto. It is a very small and intimate restaurant with two…read moreseatings, but this is what gives it it's charm. The seatings are at 7:30pm and at 9:30pm. The easiest way to make a reservation is to call. The gentleman who answered my call was so nice and very accommodating when I needed to push back our seating time. From the minute you walk in, you are greeted with warmth and genuine care. We started off with the croquettes and then ordered the rib eye to share with a side of the chorizo rice. The croquettes were amazing and flavorful. The rib eye was phenomenal!! Our server sliced it for us and plated the slices on our plate. It was very well seasoned. The chorizo rice comes in a cast iron skillet and was delicious as well! For dessert we went with the recommendation for the salted caramel pie. This was one of the best desserts I have had in a long time. It was so good and a must have for dessert! I absolutely loved my experience at Bota&Bira from the quality of the food to the amazing hospitality we received. It is a Porto staple and I highly recommend this restaurant, especially for meat lovers!

Our Airbnb host told us about this place. We called as soon s they opened and got lucky with a…read moreseating for two. The place is small.. like very small. It's intimate which gives it is flare. It's a limited menu with mostly just different cuts of steaks priced really well compared to the USofA. There was one fish.. tuna steak and that's it. I'm a big fish eater but I wasn't going to pass up a good steak. We ordered the Tomahawk Steak medium.. it was cooked a little less than medium but whatever it was a great steak. They showed us the steak before they cooked it. It was a great cut of meat. The steak was flavorful we enjoyed it so much. We also ordered garlic prawns, mushroom truffle croquettes and French fries. All fantastic. Of course we paired it with red wine because why not. The staff were super friendly, accommodating, and energetic. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys beef.

We had a great server who provided us with recommendations that did not disappoint. Menus were available in multiple languages although the translations were not the best. We recommend their version of beef Wellington (I forget the Portuguese name) as well as the fillets of grilled Sole. The sheep cheese appetizer as well as the legume soup are explosive flavors. Good selection of wines in 1/2 or full size bottles as well as beers and non-alcoholic beverages. Dessert is another pleasure and we shared an almond tart that was absolutely tasty and not overly sweet like typical American desserts. You actually enjoyed the true almond and chocolate flavors that are natural. The prices were extremely reasonable although the exchange rate has a bearing on that.

What a fabulous little place. A list of innovative sandwiches on fabulous Portuguese crusty bread and soup, salads. We shared a salad called Batalha with feta, olives, dates and tomato and a Sao Joao with fresh sardines, tomato, grilled red peppers. I think the soup was cabbage, and was great. Honestly, I am going to keep the menu in my mind and re create the sandies & salads when possible. Cash, no longer is a lunch special offered in case you read some old reviews. We watched as folks were turned away..so, if you pass and are in the mood, grab a seat when you can.
