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!

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!!!

Was told to go to matinhos by a local and try the sardines even though I absolutely despise them…read more Walked by and saw this restaurant was grilling a bunch of them so knew this was the spot to try. 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

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 don't recall being particularly moved by the parts unknown episode in Oporto , by Anthony Bourdain when it originally aired.

In fact the restaurant in Matosinhos he dined at is literally 5 short blocks away, we pass it on our walks to the beach. No longer tourists but ever grateful for however AB has informed, influenced or subliminally cajoled our collective psyches. We have come to appreciate the simple unadulterated pleasures of great seafood. We chose this restaurant for this special celebration of family, it was epic beyond all proportions. Perhaps I've waited far too long to quote AB upon seeing the platter of seafood put in front of him, "seafood platter...."! Massive inside but we had a corner all to ourselves We made pals with the wait staff and they gave us a full bottle of their homemade hooch. Excellent service fresh seafood great wine and family!

Go for the grilled sardines. Seriously. And only the grilled sardines…read more Do not get tempted by the other grilled fish. It will arrive with potatoes and boiled kale, and somewhere between the first bite and the third potato, you'll wonder where your appetite went. Just order the grilled sardines, a bottle of Muros Antigos Alvarinho 2025, and call it a day. You can add some olives, peppers, and their soft cheese while you wait, because the sardines take a little time to make--and these are actually good for nibbling on. The ambiance? Meh. The service? Also meh. The flies? Very much not meh. You'll find yourself staring at them, contemplating whether a fly swatter should be considered an essential part of the table setting. They're annoying, but there's only so much you can do. Consider it part of the experience. But the sardines? Excellent. Charred, simple, and exactly what you should be there for.

Fortunately, our host, a Porto native is a foodie who invited us for dinner here. Sumptuous would be the word to describe our meal. First of all, all kinds of seafood is showcased at the front of the restaurant almost giving one the feeling that one is at the fishmonger's. You choose your choice of seafood and it is dispatched to the kitchen with instructions on how you want it prepared. For the table we ordered lobster and clams in a rich garlic broth. The clams were exquisite and the broth was to die for. While I was still sopping up the broth with a hearty serving of bread, the lobster made its entrance. And was it a grand one. The meat had been extracted and was very creatively plated on a huge platter with the head and tail repositioned giving it a very attractive look. It was heavenly. Truly a five star preparation.
