Recommended to us by a local this place was a delight. It has a beautiful view along the Douro River. The food was very generous portions. We got shareable tapas plates. The prices were very reasonable.

All the food was delicious. Maricuja sangria was fabulous. Fun place. On the river, nice sunset view.

Great options for tapas at a good price. So many different options including fish, seafood, meat, breads, anything. Servers gave their recommendations. Sangria was so tasty but still strong. Such a cute location overlooking the river and plays such great music. Definitely a must!

Great end to our Porto tour and tasting! We were sat next to the window overlooking the water- gorgeous!!! The wait staff were extremely warm and friendly! Fantastic! We ordered fried chicken pieces, garlic fries and stuffed mushrooms and garlic shrimp tapas. Neither of us were disappointed!! We'd most definitely come back!

A memorable meal at the train station. The owner and her son were attentive and checked on me a…read morefew times. The place was packed and crazy busy and I appreciate that they took the time to acknowledge me given that they were short staffed. My meal was fantastic and I thoroughly enjoyed a well paced meal of the following: Red sangria - Fruity and juicy Foie gras - Beautiful presentation. The richness of the liver paired well with the sweetness of the fruit. Seafood curry - Colorful, light and full of great seafood Peanut foam - So good! Light, creamy, nutty. Great way to end a meal. I wish this restaurant continued success!

Pretty good! The restaurant is located inside the Sao Bento train station to the left as you walk…read morein from the tiled entrance. Definitely recommend making a reservation, I found it impressive that the hostess's reservation system was essentially a notebook and pen in this digital age. We did not see much of our waiter, since the restaurant was extremely busy and filled up with diners. Standouts: 1. Razor clams - I'll always get these if I see it on the menu. Cooked in this incredible garlic sauce. 2. Fish and seafood cataplana - delicious, tomato-forward seafood stew; I liked the version that we had the night before more which came with rice and was more filling. But this was basically a never-ending bowl of fish, clams, mussels, and shrimp. Add to that the fact that the restaurant like most in Porto did not have A/C and I emerged feeling like I had been sitting in a sauna. Skipped dessert; I had my eye on the Weeel! froyo truck parked outside. One more nit - the metal chairs are not comfortable at all for sitting a long time in.
