I am not vegetarian nor vegan, yet I very much enjoyed my meal at Cultura dos Sabores…read more The restaurant offers customers a choice between a buffet and an á-la-carte meal. There is only one main course on the á-la-carte menu: the francesinha, a vegetarian/vegan version of a local specialty dish. I've never tried the original dish, but the vegetarian version at Cultura dos Sabores was off the hook delicious. The buffet has a cold section and a hot section. I snuck a taste of the eggplant wrap (filled with plum--yum!!), the seasoned potatoes, and an African kale salad. These were all wonderfully flavorful, reminiscent of vegetarian meals I've had on Buddhist retreats at Spirit Rock in Northern California. Cultura dos Sabores also offers smoothies and desserts. The two fruit smoothies I tried were bursting with flavor and were not overloaded with apple juice, as can frequently happen with European smoothies. The dessert, a creamy pie with a fruity topping, was subtly delicious. My 12-year-old son really liked it, and he's not vegetarian either.

This is still located within walking distance to all of the sites but not too crowded. It's a small restaurant with 2 levels of seating. We ate there twice in the 3 days we were in Porto. For dinnertime, it's best to make a reservation because it gets busy and I witnessed them having to tell people they only had 1-2 tables available until a certain time. The food is fresh, organic and vegan! They have burgers, bowls, sandwiches, ramen, vegan meats, etc. We also tried several desserts and each one was delicious, especially the cheesecake! The service was good and friendly. The price is on par to what you would pay in some vegan restaurants in the States.

Service here was done from a smaller table adjacent and servers literally finish prepare and serve your entrees to a separate plate for you and give you your sides. Almost like mom serving you up and giving you access to more later. Servings are huge and many dishes come with potatoes but quietly include a fantastic rice with a slight smoky flavor and a huge vegetable stir fry (not listed in menu description). I ordered the Iberian roast pork and she got the Sea Bream special. Both under 20 Euros. We also got one salad to share. Omg it was huge-so glad we didn't each get one! Lightly dressed with olive oil on the side we didn't need. One of the best salads I've had in a long time. Wine and drink list large and good. Jose was such a professional great server as was all of the staff. Fun to watch the care they put into service. The food was fantastic and more than ample. We couldn't quite finish it all but believe me I tried! Price was very moderate for such great food and service in such a nice large classically decorated restaurant and I'd go back in a heart beat. Locals seemed more present than tourists. If you are looking for great variety of fish, meats, veg,, and drinks at a mid level price, this is one of the best choices you could make!! Obrigado Jose!

You'll find traditional Portuguese food at Abadia do Porto…read more We started off with the octopus with parsley sauce and the prawns fried in garlic sauce. The octopus was perfectly cooked with loads of chopped white onion and parsley atop. So simple and refreshing. I loved the prawns and had to order the bread (also great) to mop up that sauce! Looking back, these two dishes were at the top of our list during our week stay. For entrees, we ordered the roast Iberian pork neck (single portion) with chestnuts and it was rich and satisfying. As an afterthought, my fiancé ordered the Bacalhau (ok) and didn't realize it came with sides of cabbage and rice too. Way too much food, especially for just the two of us. Good thing we ordered the "single" portions! We couldn't finish either of the two entrees and could have done without the fish, but hey when in Portugal, we wanted to try everything the region is known for. Too bad he missed out on the tripe. HUGE portions. Service was good too. Go for the starters, specifically the octopus and the shrimp and err on the lighter side for entrees. Email for reservations!

We went here one night in Porto and I was pretty impressed. First of all, while the location…read moredoesn't offer a view of the water, the restaurant is located in the Ribeira district (right near the main square) and so you get all of the excitement that the area has to offer. We were serenaded by street performers playing the accordion and violin while we were eating, which was absolutely lovely. My opinions about the service, however, are a little bit mixed. When we first walked up, the servers were very kind. They were completely full and we wanted to sit outside, so they promised us that it wouldn't be more than a five minute wait for a table, and allowed us to hang out at the bar inside until our table was ready. They delivered on their promise, and we were seated at a table outside within a few minutes. Our server, however, was cracking some jokes that I found to be slightly inappropriate. First of all, he actually yelled at us for throwing a cigarette butt on the ground and told us that we needed to pick it up. I pointed out that we had thrown it there because we had asked him for an ash tray and we didn't actually get one so we had nowhere to put the butt. After we picked it up, he said "Just kidding" and walked away. It didn't seem like he was joking, so it really put us off. Additionally, the servers kept disappearing into a nearby alley to smoke and the manager kept coming outside to yell at them to get back to work. It certainly looked unprofessional. We didn't have to wait too long for our food, luckily, and the food itself was pretty good. I ordered a vegetarian pizza, and for a reasonable price, I got a pretty large portion of food that tasted delicious. The bar also offers a HUGE selection of delicious looking cocktails, although I did not order any since they were on the pricier side. I did order a couple of beers, however, and they were pretty delicious and priced much more reasonably. The only other issue that I had with this place was at the end of the night when I asked to get the remaining pizza I had packed up to go. I had left five slices of the pizza on the plate but when I got home, I realized that they had only actually packed two of my slices. I wasn't happy about that since I had paid for the pizza and I expected to be able to take away everything that was left. I am not sure why they failed to pack the remaining three slices, as the box they gave me was pretty large and I am sure that the other three would've fit. Nonetheless, the delicious food, atmosphere, and large selection of drinks available are what give this place a four star rating in my books.
