TL;DR: If you're doing a cocktail crawl or just need a break…read morefrom wine, it's worth your time. Not something to plan your day around, but a place you'd return to if you lived nearby. Drinks: Thoughtful and well executed, though not mind blowing. Memorable enough, and among the better cocktails we had in Porto without being the best. Service: Really good. Attentive without overdoing it. Vibe: Feels like a neighborhood spot slightly off the main path. You'll walk a darker block or two to get there, but it pays off with a quieter, more local feel. What could be better: Cocktails don't quite reach standout territory. This isn't where you go for your top drink of the trip.

The trees boggle my mind and I enjoy sitting here with a beer, a good book, thinking about how the trees are so huge on top of a roof... The 360 degree view is stunning with Torre dos Clérigos on one side, University of Porto, and old buildings on the remainder. Kids, dogs, old and young will enjoy this stop. Don't expect to get an especially warm welcome here. After coming here an endless amount of times, I have yet to receive warmth. Thankfully this place is so cool my ego is quick to recover. :) A must do to grab alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks with a view.

I was so excited to go to Base after doing a ton of research online but as our luck would have it, it poured rain the whole time we were in Porto.

We were able to snag a reservation without really knowing what to expect and we definitely were not anticipating this level of elegance! We ended up having a three hour dinner because everything felt so comfortable, peaceful, and lovely. I cannot recommend the sliders with quail eggs on top enough. My husband had the Iberian pork and really enjoyed it, and I absolutely loved my octopus. It was probably some of the best I have ever had. For dessert we had cheesecake and it was just as divine.

Each of them had their own unique character. I was trying to pair each with the proper food in my mind while tasting each. The White would definitely work with either poultry or fish. The Rosé would make a great spritz. The Tawny was our all-around favorite. It would make a great companion to any dish. The Ruby would really work with any meat. The Crusted was really interesting. For some reason, braised short ribs came to my mind. This experience is worth it. Try it out yourself!

We weren't hungry as we just had breakfast at our hotel, but we risked our gluttonous spirits. and went inside the market which eventually led us to this tasting room (Sala de Prova in literal English). We opted to sit at a window table with a very nice view of Porto. Got our 2009 Tawny and Reserve Ruby ports and we (despite being full) added garlic edamame and oysters (€3 each & ouch). Sipped, snacked and snapped happened. What a view. Ticked off port tasting from our to-do list. Quiet pricey, but I guess they do have to pay for the tower that they were located in.

I'm glad I didn't order them cause the protein did me good for the next 8 hours of walking around the town, but if you're a sweet-breakfast person, definitely get them. I recommend this place if you're shy about trying some of the more local spots and want to ensure the menu is readable. However, if you're more adventurous, try a more authentic breakfast spot.

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.
