    So this place showed up on a bunch of lists of places to go in Porto, and for good reason - but I…read morewas having trouble finding the hours, so I figured I'd just get there around noon once I was in Porto, and ask. Around noon, someone did show up briefly to post a sign out front saying they were going to be opening at 12:45 that day (I asked out of curiosity; sounds like it's *often* 12:30, but it's really mostly a "they'll open when they want to" kind of place.) I knew it'd be the sort of place that would fill up immediately, so I got back at 12:30. At least that day, it turns out they still had 1 table left after they sat everyone there before they opened - that last table got claimed at 1, 15 minutes later. It's not a large space, and word is out for good reason. Given it's not a large space, it was also easy for them to have excellent service, which they did. You could tell they were all passionate about the place, and again, for good reason - it was great. Definitely one of the best meals we ate on that trip. Between the two of us, we tried: Complimentary bread and olive oil. One OMG fantastic, wonderful fish soup. The sort of soup you'd want to eat every day if you could. Croquettes that were pretty good. Enjoyable enough, perfectly crispy, a little too salty. Not nearly as memorable as everything else. The seafood rice stew for 2 - a description I always question ("for 2"), but true in this case. It was quite large - and great. Excellent shrimp, which I'm picky about. I'm even pickier about shellfish (clams, mussels, etc). I was expecting to give my wife most of them, but I did *not* do that. They really know how to get and cook the best seafood here. The rice at the top of the stew wasn't anything particular to mention - filling, though, and warming for the drizzly day it'd been that morning. The rice at the *bottom* of the stew, that'd been slowly cooking in hot stew the whole time, was *very good*. :D Wine-wise, they have like a hundred bottles of wine by the whole bottom, some very expensive, some *surprisingly* reasonably priced, but we also didn't need a whole bottle of wine with lunch - by the glass, they just had one red and one white house wine (also solidly priced, though, for a place like this, 6 euros (Be way more than that in the US. I had the red with the stew - solid.) Also a handful of solid-looking ports by the glass, one of which I had with dessert, a reserva tawny for 6.50 euros. After eating the stew, my wife tapped out. I was also pretty full, but I'd spent a lot of effort getting here and I was *gonna* have dessert, darn it. Had what was basically just a whole roasted stewed apple, cooked down until it turned to pudding. Super good. Went really well with a reserva tawny port. This place was great.

    This was a low key restaurant located on a small street. The door was closed and locked so I had…read moreto knock before one of the staff came outside. Luckily for us the restaurant was only half full so there was no need to wait (weekday at 3pm). Odd hours for popular restaurants worked out the best for us on this trip. Inside there were just 8 tables so I can see why this place usually sees long lines outside. It was quite cozy. Menu was straightforward with appetizers, seafood and from the country (aka meat). The octopus rice was so good. The strips of sliced octopus were very tender and the flavors of this dish were delicious. It was comforting on that cold and rainy afternoon. The salt crusted seabass selection was delivered the with flare all covered in flames. Our server ignored the flames and proceeded to crack open the salt crust, fillet and debone the fish. Full service! The fish was meaty and perfectly cooked. The side of potatoes and broccoli was addicting and I normally don't eat a lot of potatoes. We skipped dessert but the menu was tempting. Besides the fish service it would've been nice to have a bit more proactive attention from our server. When we requested our check, she pointed out that out that tipping was not included and waited until we completed the transaction. Would return for the food next time in Porto.

    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

Thankfully they were able to sit me at a table on their patio which was just as beautiful as inside. While it's not explicitly said that you should dress up but you could get away with a dressy casual look here. They are well known for their fresh seafood and here, honestly one of the perks of being located near the Mediterranean coast. But seafood isn't their only strength here at Armazém do Peixe, they also specialize in different cuts of steak which I had to indulge in. This restaurant is a bit pricier than most places but again it's a bit more on the upscale side in terms of ambiance, food quality, and service. I think I recall paying about 30 euros for my plate. The steak is wonderfully tender and comes freshly cut potatoes or what we call chips and a side of vegetables which to my knowledge I hadn't tasted vegetables like these anywhere back home. If you were looking to take a date or treat yourself to a nice dinner then I would tell you look no further and come by here for a great meal and great vibes all around!

The stag lead by ande couldn't have been more accommodating. 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!
