This is an old school seafood restaurant that all the locals wait in line for. We pass this place…read moremany times on the way to other "front line" seafood eateries where there likely isn't a wait. But their menu equals all the others with one notable exception. Their shrimp in special sauce is to die for! Sure everything else is great but I've not tasted anything like this! I'm going back just to satisfy my shrimp cravings! A pile of rice and green salad with a beer... heaven! Definitely worth the wait in line! Este é um restaurante de frutos do mar à moda antiga, onde todos os moradores locais fazem fila para comer. Passamos por este lugar muitas vezes a caminho de outros restaurantes de frutos do mar mais populares, onde provavelmente não há fila. Mas o cardápio deles é igual ao de todos os outros, com uma exceção notável. O camarão com molho especial deles é de comer ajoelhado! Claro que tudo o resto é ótimo, mas nunca provei nada parecido com isso! Vou voltar só para satisfazer o meu desejo por camarão! Uma pilha de arroz e salada verde com uma cerveja... o paraíso! Definitivamente vale a pena esperar na fila!

They gave us a great sample of all of the variety of dishes they served and we were very pleased with the delicious fresh fish options - and the octopus was exceptionally good. They also served some very good bread and a very savory vegetable soup as well. The service is also exceptional and everything was absolutely fresh and perfect for the palate. We were in a big private room but there were lots of customers in all other parts of the restaurant. I would recommend this as an option if anyone is stopping by Porto. This city has lots of great restaurants but this one is definitely worth going to for the abundantly fresh food they serve.

I was craving grilled fish! Twice a week we run the gauntlet of front line seafood restaurants here…read morebecause our português classes are here at the Mar port and we have to pass the incredible smells of seafood being grilled on charcoal. We have not been to this specific restaurant yet so in the spirit of equal opportunity for all of them we decided to give it a try. Specifically this one has a large outdoor terrace that is very long and accommodating for outdoor dining. Started its large prawns the octopus and finally he grilled red snapper. What a great meal to celebrate our one year anniversary of permanently moving to Portugal. Estava com vontade de comer peixe grelhado! Duas vezes por semana passamos pelos restaurantes de marisco da linha da frente, porque as nossas aulas de português são aqui no porto de Mar e temos de passar pelos cheiros incríveis de marisco a ser grelhado no carvão. Ainda não tínhamos ido a este restaurante específico, por isso, no espírito de igualdade de oportunidades para todos eles, decidimos experimentar. Especificamente este tem um grande terraço ao ar livre que é muito longo e acomodando para refeições ao ar livre. Começámos com os camarões grandes, o polvo e finalmente o pargo grelhado. Que grande refeição para celebrar o nosso aniversário de um ano de mudança definitiva para Portugal!!!

Ordered 1/2 dose of sardines (6-7 pieces) and the monkfish and rice. I was blown away at how good the sardines were with the crispy salty skin. I honestly thought I'd have one piece and then be done but I couldn't stop eating it. The monkfish was a huge bowl filled with shrimp also and was made for sharing between 2-4 people. If I went back I'd just get the sardines. This restaurant seemed more formal setting which I'm not a big fan of. Service was quick even with it being very busy

Good English too! And of course I was sporting my orange alternate FC Porto jersey and they happen to be wearing them tonight against.... That team in Lisboa... what's their name??? Not sure if that gave us any brownie points or not but they were wonderful. The food came in waves starting with jumbo prawns then calamari so get we got a second order, more octopus salad the sea bass finally grilled octopus with veg. Everyone commented how fresh and very well presented and cooked the food was. We felt happy and relieved as this was our recommendation. So a party of 3 on a summer night alfresco, or a party of 7 in their lovely dining hall... you can't go wrong! A primeira vez que viemos ao Tito's comemos no exterior. Desta vez, com o nevoeiro a aproximar-se e um grande grupo de sete pessoas, optámos por ficar dentro de casa. O guia de veados ande não poderia ter sido mais complacente. E também um bom inglês! E, claro, eu estava a usar a minha camisola laranja alternativa do FC Porto, que por acaso vai usá-la esta noite contra .... Aquela equipa de Lisboa... como é que se chama??? Não tenho a certeza se isso nos deu alguns pontos de brownie ou não mas eles eram maravilhosos. A comida veio em ondas, começando com camarões jumbo, depois lulas, por isso pedimos uma segunda encomenda, mais salada de polvo, robalo e finalmente polvo grelhado com legumes. Toda a gente comentou como a comida era fresca e muito bem apresentada e cozinhada. Sentimo-nos felizes e aliviados porque esta era a nossa recomendação. Assim, uma festa de 3 pessoas numa noite de verão ao ar livre, ou uma festa de 7 pessoas na sua adorável sala de jantar... não há como errar!

As soon as you walk in you r mesmerized by the lobster and crab tank with HUGE lobsters and crab. AND BLUE LOBSTER the atmosphere is a casual upscale feel. You pass by a large table displaying all their seafood. We were overwhelmed with the menu and choices. Our server Agostino was amazing with his attentiveness and knowledge of their food and wine. He suggested an excellent wine for us and made suggestions on what to have. A group of 11, we shared a large dish of regular and blue lobsters with shrimp which was amazing. Presentation one of the best. We also had the Sopa de Mariscos which was a rice soupy rice dish and it was phenomenal. Think paella but with more broth. You have to see the pictures posted. This was a once in a lifetime experience. A must for an unforgettable dinner.

The hotel provided us with a voucher for a welcome drink and they specialize in seafood so it was a no brainer. The hotel made us a same day reservation for dinner.

We were provided menus and shortly after we received bread for the table and our welcome drink of port wine which was so good! We opted for the seafood platter for 2 and also the steak with seafood sauce accompanied with a bottle of vinho verde. The food was delicious, came out quickly and was great value for what we paid. Glad we were able to experience this and hope to come back on my next visit.
