We found this pub on our last night in Porto and so glad we did! We had the best time here.. when…read morewe first arrived it was packed with soccer fans, glued to the tv cheering for their team!! We grabbed drinks at the bar and kinda waited for a table to open up. By the time the musician for the night set up, we were well on our way. You have to order your drinks at the bar, there were a lot of people available for a quick chat while you waited so that was fun!! The musician that night was so good, he played one banger after the next.. everyone in the bar was singing along and dancing! We ordered several rounds of shots and each time we got something different .. that was fun!! We didn't want to leave .. but some of us had early flights out the next day! If you're visiting Porto .. go check this place out early, this bar is so fun!! They have bar t-shirts & sweatshirts that make the perfect souvenirs!! Cheers until next time!!

This business advertises as a bar, but it also Sells food albeit with a more limited menu. The alcohol menu here is fairly diverse, but heavily weighted towards wine where there are roughly 15 cocktails to choose from and some beer selections as well. While here I ordered their classic margarita, which was well-made and quite tasty. One minor gripe though is that my drink did not have enough ice but considering that I am in wine country and this is Europe beggars can't be choosers right? Also the size/volume was a bit on the light side as well. Having said that this place was ok from a cocktail perspective where the staff was friendly and views of Porto and the Douro river are great. Rating only as a bar I give this place three stars due to the shortcomings listed above. The better bar is down the street at the Irish Co but unfortunately was closed on this day. That would be my prime recommendation followed by a distant second for this place.

My first day in Portugal we went straight to have the most famous Francesinha…read more The service was excellent. Very attentive wait staff. The bistro was busy and had a queue to get in. The francesinha was very good but HEAVY. it's not for the faint at heart. The sauce was delicious, the pork and beef were cooked well and the egg fried to perfection.

I got the goat cheese and honey salad which was fresh and delicious. Loved the creamy, caramelized goat cheese! My SO ordered a half order francesinha which Brasao is rumored to make the best one in Portugal. Our server did not ask us how we wanted the steak and it came out pretty much still moo-ing. Way too rare even for our usual medium rare taste. We ate it anyway, but would have been better if it had been cooked a bit longer. All the meats and the sauce intermingled surprisingly well and didn't taste too heavy, although I don't know how anyone can eat more than this half order, it is so filling. I think this dish traditionally comes with fries, but here it did not and we ordered fries as a side. I kind of liked it that way, as they were still crunchy. I asked for some ketchup and received the skimpiest 1/3 filled small ramekin. The lemon pie was refreshing and tart. A perfect little dessert to cut the heaviness of the francesinha. Reservations are a very good idea if you can score one, otherwise you'll be in for a wait.
