Wonderful, private, upscale dining experience in Porto. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Fresh, delicious Portuguese food. Robust wine menu. The owner stopped by all tables to ask about the meal and spent some time talking with us about where we were from and our visit to Porto. Highly recommend! Reservations required. read more

ODE Porto Wine House - Salted cod - Portuguese Near Me - Porto, 13

This cozy restaurant located in the middle of the tourist zone is a gem. Of it's not Michelin rated it certainly should and will be. The service is impeccable, the ambiance cozy and intimate, the food spectacular, and the passion for food, wine, and service the heartbeat. After our order was taken we were told the sommelier would help us choose our wine based on our order. He was thorough in his questioning and nailed our wine selection.......bun the way he is the owner! We had the Wild Octopus Rice and the Iberian Pork Ribs, both were rich in flavor and delicious. We ended the evening with a nice port and Sponge cake with sheep cheese ice cream......wonderful! Highly recommend this old world spot and get away from all of the tourist joints. read more

Excellent experience! Food was obviously cooked from the heart and family tradition. It's not just about the food and wine (which were fabulous) it was the whole experience. It's nestled in a tourist area but it's a haven from the barrage of tourists. Owner and team are committed to their craft. You'll love it read more

Spectacular food- right off the bustling riverfront, this place is everything but touristy. Try the broccoli

Very nice wine and Port list. Great service and advice on food and wine selections. A lovely setting with a great staff. Don't miss it! read more

Had such a great dining experience at ODE last year, made a special trip to Porto today to dine here again. Everything was as good as the first time i dined here. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The building is over 300 years old and has great atmosphere. The food... the food was amazing, delicious and i wanted more but my belly couldn't hold anymore. If you are in Porto, you must stop at ODE! read more

Our compliments to Chef Phillipe for a very special local menu featuring seafood and pork that will not disappoint. Our meal was prepared by Chef Pablo and our choices were guided by Roberto. We highly recommend the local oysters and Iberico ham to start. I enjoyed the salted cod and my wife loved the Iberico ribs, with an amazing simple lettuce salad with leek garlic and local olive oil dressing. Marta helped us with several local recommendations that we will enjoy on our vacation. read more

My ode to ODE...this was our second time here in two years. The experience in the restaurant is truly something special--every detail is perfectly executed for food, drinks, and service. Every server is professional and warm, and both times we had so much fun chatting with owner/chef Cristóvão, who is delightful and very, very involved in his beautiful business. The building itself is stunning and ancient, so the ambiance is incredible. Oh, and the food and recommended wine pairings are all spectacular. One of the world's best restaurants. read more

On our first night in Porto we walked by this wonderful restaurant. We arrived as they had just opened around 7 PM. Despite that all tables were empty we were told that they were fully booked. As we turned around to leave the owner came out and said if we could vacate the table by 8:30 PM we could have one of the empty tables inside. We accepted and had a memorable meal. We shared a very nice platter of ham with homemade bread. Sourdough bread was really nice but the rye bread seemed underbaked and gooey. ( I'm from Denmark and know rye bread comes in different types but never underbaked). My husband had the pork chop with a rice chorizo sausage side dish. DELICIOUS! I had the bacalhau with a really nice chickpea side dish. ( I could've eaten that as my main dish ). Fish was cooked to absolute perfection. We shared the " burned " cheese cake for dessert and again. SO GOOD ! I highly recommend this restaurant. But don't go without reservation. We tried to come back the following night but this time we were turned away again despite all the empty tables. It seems to me a missed opportunity not to have an early seating for Northern Europeans/ Asian tourists who typically like to eat early as the other tables were not occupied before 8:30 PM when we were there. We paid with credit card. Service is not included in your bill. So we left cash to cover service. read more

My husband and I had dinner here on our trip to Porto in June. We cannot say enough good things about the whole experience. The food was amazing, the service was excellent and the owner made it an above an beyond special experience. He is so passionate about his restaurant, food, wine AND his clients. Do not miss this special place! read more

Lovely location , intimate decor , very creative chef , spectacular food , drinks and wonderful service from very attentive waiters- as good as it gets ! read more

Such a great find in Porto. Menu is small but has everything you could want. The passion of the team is unbelievable. Their objective is a memorable dining experience and we had one tonight. The meats were well prepared as well as the fish. I loved the cheese dish that had a small map and the three cheeses chosen we placed on the map. Super presentation. Fish special was best I have had in long time. read more

This is the closest you can come to a treasure - you can afford. Fantastic. Amazing. Words keeps queuing up. Service and the wish to give us a good evening is a driver for everybody working here. Food is not only local it is carefully threated to melt in our mouths and apetize our eyes. Five out of five is well deserved. read more

Excellent food and polished service but the Yelp reviews were misleading -- It's not cheap, they don't take credit cards, and they offer a price fixed menu which is 80 euro per person including wine pairing. The food is excellent and they turn people away regularly to make sure they get people who really want to be there. The owner is a nice guy and gives preference to those who are dressed nicely and might even allow you to pay with credit card (we saw someone do this). This is very conditional though. read more

We made our reservation for 2 people a day before via internet and it worked very well. The chef opened the restaurant's door for us and received us very friendly. The team made a very friendly and motivated impression too. We went for the 6 cause menu for which we had do choose 3 causes. The other 3 were added by the chef. This was new to us, but we accepted it and the chefs choices turned out to be great! For the drinks we ordered the "wine pairing" option so we got different wines with each cause. The entire dinner was a "star restaurant experience". All ingredients (meat, fish, vegetables, bread) were of highest quality and perfectly prepared. The combinations of each cause showed the high level of creativity of this restaurant! The wine recommendations were fantastic. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very quiet although all tables were occupied. The service was very competent and relaxed. This created for us a very warm and entertaining atmosphere without any stiffness of classical star kitchens. The prices are -compared to standard restaurants of that area- high but absolutely justified by the high quality of food and service! We enjoyed every moment of our dinner and will come back for sure if there is another chance to visit Porto again. read more

We are still dreaming about this food. We went there twice! The food was enormously delicious and the service very nice. As a couvert we tried olives, olive oil, sheep cheese from Azeitao and grey pork ham. As a Swiss we really appreciated the cheese and the ham a whole lot! The Goa lamb style curry was soooo delicious that we ate it twice. As a dessert, we ate the surprise and the chocolate cake first - i recommend better chocolate but it still was delicious. However, the best dessert we tried was the traditional pudding which was more like a cake. We would recommend it to everybody! read more

After a week of eating out in Porto, this was by far my favorite restaurant. Every item was consistently excellent. Take your time and eat a complete meal with every course and don't turn down any of the starters, they are all wonderful and worth it. read more

Even the bread and butter was excellent. read more

ODE Porto Wine House - Portuguese Near Me - Porto, 13

Ode is a lovely venue, tucked away just off the river in Praca Ribeira. The staff are knowledgeable and very attentive, the restaurant itself is decorated in an upscale, but lovely, low key manner - rock and timber walls, simple but chic and relaxed. We had to leave unexpectedly after ordering our meal ( the restaurant does two delicious prix fixe menus with optional wine pairing ) and the staff and management were caring and considerate as they accommodated us. We very much look forward to when we can return and highly recommend a visit whenever you're in Porto. read more

My daughter picked this place and she is awesome in picking some amazing places. We had Christopher serve us, who is also the owner. He made our experience that much more interesting. His passion to please us, the customer, and turn the night into a beautiful experience was absolutely fantastic. Each dish we ordered and ambience was simply fabulous. His wine pairing was superb and everything we ordered was absolutely fantastic. If I come to Porto again, I will surely come again. Christopher thank you for the restaurant and for your service today. Btw try their hot oil...omg it is absolutely lit !!! read more

Here's everything you need to know: we only had two nights in Porto, and after the first night went back the next. I asked the proprietor when he's getting a Michelin star, and he said "you are our Michelin stars." They really treat you that way. Note... reservations essential. read more

I read the reviews and booked this thinking it would be a 5 star experience- NO ! I was so dissapointed. the picures looked so inviting- let me tell you, this is a tourist trap ,and they get clients from the 5 star yelp. the food is "authentic."which means blood sausage made with bread- that was so mushy I almost gaged on the first bite. A authetic "stinky cheese" was served- smelled so bad couldn't get it close to my face. It is fixed menu so very little choices. Beware of the fresh cod- it s not fresh but salted and rehydrated- way too much sa;t to eat. I went to the little kitcen window and explained all my dishes were over salted- but nothing was done. The wine was over prices- set for tourist. WE sent everything back- and no one asked to replace the dishes or take them off the bill. The staff were polite-but there was only one guy for all table upstairs. tourist trap #1 read more

Worth every penny! It's the fanciest dining we did inside the city of Porto, and while a little more expensive then the menu of the day at other places, it was a special experience marked by great Portugese products, excellent preparation, and phenomenal service. The Octopus I ate was excellent, the and wine pairings were spot on by the waiter. read more

Ever thought to yourself "my life is pretty good but how can I make it better?" Eat here!! You will enjoy delicious food (by any standards), excellent service, fantastic wines and ports, in a very cool, old building that has excellent views of the Duoro. This is an excellent value for the high end meal that you will enjoy and remember for a long time. Obrigada e parabéns, Ode Port Wine House staff. read more

Fantastic best meal I have had in Portugal. Chef and owner provide great recommendations! Hidden gem

I never had a dinner menu that can be compared with this one: Perfect service, exceptional food (regional selected with love) and a wonderful combination of flavors. I would always go there again when coming to Porto. 10 ***** read more

Everything was perfect. From the owner that called us back for our reservation to the smile of the whole team during the evening. It was an amazing experience, definitively a must try in Porto! read more

I cannot tell you how wonderful this restaurant is! We went there based off of reviews and were so surprised when we were created by a smiling owner whose love of food and making people happy kicked off a great night. The menu changes often, but if the octopus or lamb curry is on the menu definitely get it. We ended with some of the most delicious desserts, definitely get the surprise, it is amazing! A few nights later we checked out his casual tapas style restaurant and although a different style of dining, the quality and attention to detail was the same. I suggest you go there too!! read more

I had very high expectations of this restaurant and what I experienced was even better. In a quiet location, close to the river, but not as noisy as the other places you find walking on the ribeira, Ode is a must to stop during your stay in Porto. The service is impeccable, very kind and knowledgeable girls and guys are there to introduce you to the culinary experience and to help you whether you need more bread, more wine or simply more information. Talking about the food, just one word, paradisiac: from the starters to the dessert, while tasting very good Portuguese wine and porto, you taste in your mouth fresh and local ingredients reinterpreted in a gastronomic and creative way. The price is totally worth the experience, and there's no comparison with any of the other places you find in the streets. Portuguese food is not only street food and Ode is there to prove it to you. Let the chef surprise you with the 'secret' dessert ! read more

This was one of the best dining experiences of my life! However, if you didn't know it was there, you would miss it! The doors are locked and you can't even walk in without a reservation. We discovered this gem on our last night in Portugal and my husband worked his magic and got us a table. The staff and Chef were so amazing and accommodating. Being a vegetarian married to a carnivore, it is sometimes difficult for us to both be completely happy at a restaurant...we were definitely both happy here! read more

What an amazing experience. Great food, flavors, and service. The love of food and cooking that the owner talks about is evident in the final outcome. read more

This is my first review, although I have been on Yelp years. Our experience at this restaurant necessitated it. The Chef is so warm and full of humor. The staff is also so warm and professional. The food was amazing. This experience made our vacation. I cannot recommend ODE enough. read more

Stopped by on a rainy night without reservations but they were kind enough to squeeze us in. Service was impeccable, recommendations were spot on and food was delicious. This is slow food cooking so don't go of you're in a rush. Loved the Grandma's Pudding! read more

We enjoyed a memorable meal here a few weeks ago. We opted for the larger set menu and wine tasting, and I'm very glad we did. The food was excellent, refined and inventive. The service was impeccable. The setting was perfect for a date. Anyone visiting Porto should make a point of going here. read more

A good service, good food! Octopus was super soft and also the 'secret' dessert was also perfect. For the starter, this ham was one of the best i've ever had. With pleasant and romantic atmosphere and good service we really enjoyed the dinner. read more
