    Intrigo kindly squeezed my family in for dinner on the patio for a last minute table. Everything here is tapas style and is also very farm-to-table. Each dish was very simple but did a great job of showcasing the high quality ingredients used. I loved how they brought out the natural flavors of the vegetables and used the sauces to enhance the flavor and not overpower it. The wait staff were also wonderful and fun. They enthusiastically answered our questions about the wine list and topped off our glasses with a "don't tell anyone" wink. I couldn't have had a better experience!

    Fabulous river view.

    Our last night and dinner in Portugal, we spent it at Intrigo with an amazing river view and couldn't have been happier. We made a 630pm reservation in advance and had our pick of tables when we showed up on a Monday evening. We had to go outside for that view and as backup they offer you blankets if it gets too cool for you. Service was warm and friendly all evening and we had no issues getting by using English. They bake a different bread fresh every day and this evening it was a jalapeño type that brought some heat. Yum. My wife ordered their grilled nut crusted grouper with carrot purée and greens. She loved it all. I went with the rump steak that came with beets and soft sheep cheese. The meat was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I don't typically eat or enjoy beets but these were nice. The sheep cheese was fine but not one of my favorite cheeses. To finish things out, we each ordered a dessert. My wife got a brownie with hazelnut ice cream while I got a banana crumb with peanut ice cream. Both were amazing but I think the peanut ice cream was extra special and shouldn't be missed.

    Up 120 steps from R Nova da Alfândega but worth every one! We sat outside on a breezy terrace (they offered blankets to keep us warm) and sipped vinho verde while watching the sun set. Acorda de camarao was tasty as was the alheira sausage. Friendly service and great ambience!

    Wonderful restaurant. Best one I've been at in Porto. We got the seafood broth and braised tuna and all the elements of each dish came together in a perfect harmony. The douro malha red wine was also fantastic with the seafood dishes. Definitely recommend!

    The service is delightful and the food is exciting with many vegetable options. Great place to have dinner and watch the sunset.

    Beautiful hilltop terrace location overlooking the Douro, well worth the steep staircase up from the riverside.

    This was another spot I visited while I was in Portugal that was *not* on my list - a truly…read morewonderful seafood restaurant around the corner was, that I got to before noon because I wasn't sure when they opened (turned out: 12:45 that day), so I was wandering around with an hour to kill and found this place. They have flights, including one that's 15 euros where you let them know what you're looking for and they pick out the 3 bottles, which is very neat. I told them I was in Porto mainly to try Port wines, and didn't have much familiarity with other, non-fortified Portuguese wines, and would love an intro flight, but no roses. Got a mini-lesson in the wine regions of Portugal, along with a wonderful green wine, a great Duoro valley red, and a truly fantastic red from Alentejo, a wine region I had not previously heard of, but immediately went on my radar the rest of the trip. (They also sell bottles; I bought a bottle.) Note, they said they only guarantee they'll do flights (as opposed to full-priced full glass pours) after 4 pm, but if they aren't busy for the food lunch rush, they'll do them earlier in the day (on a rainy Thursday in January they were more than happy to.) Actually liked the place so much, I came back the next afternoon and had another glass of a different Alentejo red - they only had one open for tasting in the price range that fit the "intro"-priced wine flight, so I spent... I believe 11 euros on a glass of a fancier bottle they recommended. It was also quite good, though I think I actually preferred the first one. Also had one glass of a very reasonably priced tawny Port while I was there - they had several, but obviously, I was already well into my plan to taste Port directly from all of the nearby tasting rooms across the bridge, so I just picked one here. (Unsurprisingly, it was also quite good.) They do also sell food, but I can't comment on it. Great place for quick wine tasting, though.

    Overall, a great experience. Originally found this via my Lonely Planet guidebook (yes, the…read morepaperback book, lol; old school, I know.) The space is upscale and has good air conditioning. I find the American country music playlist pretty amusing. The service is polite and the server spoke English well enough to explain where this wine came from, pairings for thiss and that wine, etc. I was only there for wine tastings, and maybe a snack to pair with. Good stuff overall. I love the menu! It's very explanatory; you could spent 30 minutes reading and absorbing some of the info about Portuguese wines, so definitely keep it after you order to browse and read. Pro tip: They have spit buckets. Ask for one and use it. Can taste more wines with less intoxication. Only miss was that they served me the aged white ports, which are chilled, a few minutes before the desert things that I was pairing them with. This let them warm up a bit before I could pair them with food, especially since I asked for small pours. Bathrooms: Spacious, bougie, clean, and functional.

    This. Place. Is. Fantastic! If you love cheese- you…read moreabsolutely have to eat here. The menu was so tempting that we had a hard time making decisions.We started with the seia cheese and smoked ham croquettes. They did not disappoint! Ooey gooey goodness served with a lovely quince sauce that left us wanting to lick the plate. We settled on sharing the smoked sausage rice served in a spent seia cheese shell. Words cannot even begin to explain how incredibly decadent this dish was. It was more than enough to share, yet even as we were both full we could not stop indulging in it. It became richer as the steaming hot rice sausage and vegetable mixture continued to melt more of the sidewall cheese into the combination. We also could scoop melty cheese directly off the wall inside the bowl. I didn't think about it at the time, but if we had saved the crisps that are served with complementary olives on arrival we could have spread some of the cheese onto them as well. Alas- hopefully someone else can give that a try on our recommendation. Although too full for dessert, the cocoa cake was recommended as a house specialty. It is really more of a rich chocolate brownie or torte and is served with an incredible salted caramel sauce and topped with a dainty scoop of a fantastic goat cheese ice cream with flavoring along the lines of a creamy cheesecake. Such an absolutely lovely meal served by wonderful staff! Reuben and Maria made us feel very welcome and the staff at Rei Dos Queijos apparently speak every language there is. 4 mixed drinks, appetizer, shared entree and dessert €54. Not too shabby!

    We had a great time ! We had the pumpkin rice with cherries and the beetroot and cheese tartare. As…read morefor dessert : cocoa cake and cheesecake But beware the cocoa cake is not your typical dessert ! Great chocolate with a caramel sauce and the best ice cream I had in a while. Would highly recommend for someone that doesn't stray to far from " typical " desserts. Everyone around us was sharing a cheese and/or meat plate as appetizer than an entree for two as well. We also had some white wine with that we had the cheapest by the glass but it went perfectly we everything we had. And really not expensive wine with a great taste. Would gladly go back !!
