“We went to spend a day at the beach and based on the reviews, eat here. He did not disappoint us and we left delighted. We ate some oysters, grilled sardines, seafood rice and finally a caramel coulant with tangerine ice cream, which is the best dessert I've ever had. The black coffee is delicious too. The kindness of the people who treated us was ten. Our table was not free when we arrived and we were treated to a wine while we waited. Excellent.“

“Informal environment, amazing cod. We ate two appetizers, cod with lemon sauce and chips and cod chips with parsley mayonnaise. Then we had two plates of cod assado....fantastic, served with potato sheets. All accompanied by an excellent green wine. Best quality.“

“A hidden gem! The food is simple and very tasty. I had the grilled sea bass and the waiter told me when I ordered it was seasoned only with salt. It was so delicious and cooked perfectly. The waiter was friendly and helpful. The prices were very reasonable. If you're looking for simple "home cooked" food in a quite atmosphere, this is your place.“

“We came across the restaurant by chance during our visit to Porto. It is located in an alley, there is little space but we waited a little but the grilled sardines were worth it. The owner will give you a warm welcome and the prices are very affordable.“

“Spectacular and delicious everything
We had not reserved a table, they treated us very well, despite everything being full, they found a place for us.
The food was excellent, the octopus with risotto was tremendously good, the meat, the cod...and many gluten-free dishes, highly recommended for celiacs who are difficult to find places.
Without a doubt we will repeat
Thanks to the lady and the boy with glasses who were super kind and attentive.

“One of the best seafood dinners, ever.

Dear local friends recommended Majára. What a gem. Ambience is classy, a place to have a nice family dinner, a date or a fabulous time with friends who appreciate excellent food. No dress code detected, but do your best to make it a special time. This is a nice restaurant that takes care of every detail!

Greeter, waiter were very friendly. Augustin, our waiter, was funny, energetic, very knowledgeable, professional and courteous. His recommendations were spot on. Timing and rhythm of service was perfect, and no interruptions to our family chat.

On to the food. We eat excellent seafood regularly. Majára is among the top. Jumbo grilled shrimp was very tasty, added butter made an explosive party of taste in my mouth. The seafood platter was very generous, with plenty of shrimp, crab, prawns, persebe (barnacle) that were juicy, expertly prepared, tasty and incredibly fresh. Our waiter made an excellent pairing with local Vino Verdhe and showed us the fresh jumbo camarao. Salmon plate was also very tasty and a great option for those in your party that prefer fish over mariscos. Bread was freshly baked and buttery.

Creme Brule toped the night, but the star of the show was the incredible seafood platter.

Thank you team Majára. We will be back!“

“Chose this place amongst all the other seafood restaurants along the street as it had a large patio and the shortest wait list. So glad we did as the food was so fresh and delicious! We had grilled sardines, squid and garlic potatoes, and a bottle of wine. Hands down the best value for money meal we had during our trip. Highly recommended.“

“Herois de França street is full of grilled fish restaurants. Where they put the ember in the middle of the street, from a distance you can recognize its characteristic smell. I would say Titus II is one of the best. The fish is excellent as is the service.“

“Very good value for money, in addition, the fish dishes are very large, ideal for sharing between two. We ordered a grilled sea bream and it was delicious, accompanied by seasoned boiled potatoes and vegetables. The service, very attentive. We went with three babies and they were very patient. Highly recommended.“

“An exceptional restaurant in Porto where you can taste traditional Portuguese cuisine dishes, in a pleasant and authentic atmosphere. It is not just another cardboard restaurant for tourists.
Antônio attended to us and could not have been more attentive, friendly and pleasant to us. Highly recommended, to repeat the next time you visit Porto.

Vegetarian options: They have some vegetarian options, although little variety, but you can request that they adapt one of the dishes they offer on the menu (they are very attentive).

Kid-friendliness: They accept children and the treatment is very pleasant“

“The average prices didn't match what we saw in the comments here on Google, I don't know if it was because it was a Mother's Day menu or if the prices are no longer the same, but the food is totally worth it. The food is delicious! The starter was a stuffed crab that was so good I didn't even have time to take photos hahaha, wonderful squid and prawn skewer. Dessert elevated the experience until the end. The customer service is very friendly, I will definitely be back.“

“I went to dinner with my mother at this restaurant, and it was one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. And I should also mention that the workers are all extremely friendly, funny and helpful! 100% would recommend it to anyone thinking about going there.“

“Spectacular to eat dishes of cod and other fish made traditionally tak and how they do it in the Porto, Braga area. Very good seafood, barnacles, scallops, oysters.
And at prices not at all expensive. The service is 10. And the attention is also 10.“

“This was a good surprise. We were walking to the beach and when passing this restaurant decided to stop for lunch. First let me say the prices here are a bit more expensive than an average restaurant but this is definitely no average restaurant. The staff were amazing and extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The seafood was fresh and delicious with many choices. The service was excellent. We found that although it was a bit more than we normally pay for lunch it was worth it and we definitely would go back. Amazing seafood definitely worth trying.“

“High quality food, fresh and well prepared ingredients.
Less positive points, some somewhat inconvenient comments were made during the service regarding customers' diet options at the table and it was necessary to correct the bill because there were extra amounts to be charged.“

“My local friend has been raving about this restaurant since before I came to Portugal. Today, we finally made it there, famished from skipping breakfast and lunch. Despite our timing, we got a table right away.

We ordered clams (resembling mini dinosaurs), prawns, and sea bass with potatoes and a side salad. I loved the toasted bread they brought out. The prawns were incredibly sweet, and the clams were juicy, chewy, and delicious. One bite of toasted bread with butter, shrimp with cocktail sauce, and clam had my taste buds celebrating.

Then came the sea bass with potatoes and salad. The fish was incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and those potatoes were divine. The salad, though simple, complemented the meal well, especially the sweet white onions. We loved them so much we asked for extra.

For dessert, we had "camel froth” (?translated ??)which tasted like caramel mousse, and my friend enjoyed a cake made with egg whites, reminiscent of marshmallow. Both were excellent.

The service was efficient, handled by two older gentlemen and a lady. They weren't overly friendly but definitely not rude, managing the busy crowd with skill. Overall, a fantastic dining experience.“

“Local only restaurant, no tourists but us. Menu in Portuguese and cursive so had to guess what we wanted without really knowing what it was. Food was phenomenal. Fresh well done fish. Service was amazing. We were sitting outside and it was windy and cold and the owner brought us blankets and gave me his personal coat to wear to stay warm. Our server was incredibly sweet and funny and made our visit memorable. Overal 10/10.“

“The place is unbelievable. Simple yet elegant. Food menu exquisite with the best service I've ever had. I have some severe food allergies that they accommodated without question or feed back. The servers were quick to help and knew exactly how to maneuver the menu accordingly. Ask for Julia she's the best???“

“Charming atmosphere, excellent service. Very generous doses.We weren't able to handle the message that arrived at the table, but we were able to take it home and so it was possible to enjoy the food again.From the starters, grilled fish, seafood bread, seafood rice, daily dishes including veal kebab and Portuguese stew. Everything divine and very well served.As for the service, it was excellent, very friendly and very helpful.I recommend.“

“I loved everything 5 ⭐️From the tasty, appetizing and homemade food.For starters, small sardines and cod frittersFor dinner seafood rice and hake fillets. Wine, desserts and coffees.Excellent service, very close and carefulThe pleasant and relaxed atmosphereA good surpriseComing back“

“Brilliant food court. We've visited a number of times on our trip to Porto. Locals go here. You can buy food anywhere here, buy drinks anywhere else, and can sit at any seat, in any bar or area (including outside) and eat and drink away. Great idea and very welcoming and friendly.“

“Fantastisch gegeten hier. Alle gerechten waren goed op smaak en mooi gepresenteerd. Service was geweldig, personeel nam goed hun tijd om dingen uit te leggen en om je verblijf zo goed mogelijk te maken. Wij hadden de salt crusted seabass, die is echt aan te raden ze maakte er een mooie show van. We komen hier zeker terug!!“

“The restaurant has the atmosphere of going to someone’s grandmother house for dinner. Packed full of locals and we looked to be the only tourist. The service was impeccable. Our service spoken English and was excellent with providing recommendations. The sardines and cod fish were extremely tasty and flavorful. The white house wine was a bit fizzy making for a refreshing summer drink. Overall, I would highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic Portuguese food.“

“Friendliness is a constant from employees to bosses, everyone is always very attentive and available.As for the food, it must be from the restaurants in Greater Porto with the best preparation of traditional Portuguese food. If we talk about roasted goat, it is clearly the best you can find. By the way, I recommend the delicious burnt cream milkThe atmosphere has nothing "trendy". It is completely diverse, and you can find all types of frequencies.But even if someone doesn't fully appreciate the atmosphere, dinner is always a pleasure, due to the service and the quality and preparation of the food.

Parking: Relatively far from the restaurant (maybe more than 200 meters)

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, despite having a somewhat narrow entrance.“

“The food is pretty good, but if you want cod… it's not the place. Original flavors, acceptable service and a very good atmosphere.
It is at the edge of the corridor in the Ribeira. A place to enjoy. I advise arriving before two or after three thirty. If not, wait for a table.
A curiosity. When you enter the premises you can see the floor below through the floor.

Dietary restrictions: Ask

Parking: Grim imposture in this area. Better to take a taxi or Uber“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Marisqueira Esplanade is simply fantastic! The dining experience was exceptional, with fresh and tasty seafood dishes. The atmosphere is welcoming and offers a stunning view, perfect for a relaxing meal. The service was impeccable, with attentive and helpful staff who went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates good food and a pleasant atmosphere. We will definitely be back!“

“Absolutely fantastic food! It was my Moms birthday the day we went to the restaurant and it was an absolute fantastic evening there. The waiter and the waitress gratulated my mom for her birthday and they actually were so nice they made my mom a special desert:). As the main course we took the codfish and 2x the grilled octopus, also the waiter gave us advice on the starters. Thank you so much for everything !!!“

“It was unintentional, the bus stop gave us a pleasant surprise, 50 m away with the appetite of 3 pm and there Joan was waiting for us, a smile from the first moment, close attention and an extraordinary quality-price ratio and she made us happy a any Friday. Chance is capricious.“

“Very nice place, local. steak was made a perfect medium rare and was very tasty, and they were very generous with side dishes and bread, potato chips were chunky, unlike the crisps you usually get here in other places. I even had 2 ice teas and only paid 11€.“

“As for this restaurant, the building itself is a monument. It has such a nice interior in a perfect location right by the sea. You can see the outside through the large window, but I couldn't see outside because I had dinner. There are 22 course menus, of which we ordered 7 courses. All the dishes were perfect, but the prawns and cod were especially good. Our expectations for a Michelin two-star restaurant were very high, but this restaurant perfectly met them. Also, they gave me a tour of the kitchen before desert, which was also a very interesting experience. They gave us a tea as gift when we left. Strongly recommended.“

“The food is incredibly good, presentable and fresh, the view from the restaurant is pretty good, with the Douro river. I did my wedding lunch here and I don't have anything to complain about, the owner was so kind and the prices are quite good for all the amazing food we had. Thank you so much for having us!“

“Small restaurant waiting to be found in the alleys of Porto, small and intimate, simple and genuine. Delicious dishes, of course I expected something good but not to eat so much good, definitely the best pasteis de bacalhau in Portugal. Very friendly and accommodating staff, fast service and low prices, definitely worth a try. If you love creme brulé, the milk dessert is for you.“

“Without a doubt some of the best seafood I've ever had and likely will ever have. Super convenient location coming off of the cruise ship, just a short walk from the port gate. Great service and great food. Our server offered us some Portuguese ham and we ordered the sea bass plus some shrimp as a starter.“

“(Translated by Google) 5 star service from the person who helped me.Good Francesinha with potato, egg and beer, and to finish, coffee with the aroma. All for just €6.50.I recommend(Original)Atendimento 5 estrelas de quem me atendeu.Boa Francesinha com batata, ovo e cerveja, e para terminar, café com oferta do cheirinho. Tudo por apenas 6,50€.Recomendo“

“Buy your fish from the marke a few meters away. And here will cook it for you. Super nice and delicious cook.
We enjoyed the food and the super hospitable staff service.
Keep this standard
N.b. price of fish apart.“

“Delicious food, incredible flavors. The decoration of the dishes is super beautiful. The attention was the best. Super friendly. The portions are very good and the relationship between price, location and quality is perfect. We will return on our next vacation. “

“Our experience was generally good but I was disappointed that the seafood was not freshly cooked and cooled at the time since it was obvious that it was already in the morning or the day before, the mussels were hidden with the vinaigrette but they were hard, in general they were I noticed everything except the sea ox filling which was quite good and abundant and the waiter was super nice in advising us not to overdo it when ordering and advising a very good green Albariño wine, perhaps they had other specialties that we missed but I recommend it, although they should be more careful with the genre, especially the seafood, since it is immediately noticeable when they don't do it right away. It lacked juiciness, rather it was dry. 100 euros must be noticed on the table, otherwise it's fine.“

“It was our first time in Porto and we were told 5 Oceans was the best seafood around, we were not disappointed! The food and atmosphere were amazing!!!! Our waiter was named Francisco and he was so kind and knowledgeable of the menu, he made an amazing dinner into an amazing experience. We can’t wait to return and see Francisco again.“

“Excellent food and attention! The gentleman who served us made our experience excellent. Our table was already ready, with different breads and they asked us if we wanted mini starters, which were very good. In addition, we ordered a grilled fish for 2 people and a white wine, both recommended by the same gentleman who served us, and it was the best choice. The grill full of flavor, lots of fish and seafood. The price/quality ratio 10 out of 10. We were surprised! When we are in Porto we will definitely return!“

“??Another great neighborhood find! This time an excellent seafood restaurant. But they offer the items as well. A very posh looking place inside with a long bar extending the length of downstairs.
The service was excellent friendly and so welcoming from Moona (sp) she was very patient and spoke great English. Great house vino verde, to accompany awesome just what I was in the mood for seafood.
Simply fabulous.

??Another great find in the neighborhood! This time, an excellent seafood restaurant. But they also offer other items. A very elegant place inside with a long bar that stretches along the bottom floor.
The service was excellent, friendly and very welcoming from Moona (sp), who was very patient and spoke very good English. Excellent house green wine, to accompany my seafood craving.
Simply fabulous.“

“Restaurant São Valentim is a great option for anyone looking to experience traditional Portuguese cuisine in a charming and cozy . The restaurant offers a variety of traditional Portuguese dishes, such as grilled octopus, bacalhau (codfish), and francesinha (a typical Porto sandwich). The food is prepared with fresh, local ingredients and is presented in a beautiful and appetizing way. Portugal is known for its delicious wines, and São Valentim is no exception. The restaurant offers a wide selection of Portuguese wines, including Vinho Verde and Port wine. The staff are knowledgeable and can help you choose the perfect wine to pair with your meal. Despite its high-quality food and excellent wine selection, Restaurant São Valentim is relatively affordable, making it a great choice for budget-conscious travelers.“

“What I admire most in a restaurant is the service, and I must say that this one was impeccable. It is a family restaurant; we were served by Mr Joao and his son. When paying the bill we also met the wife. I really liked the food; We went on a perfect sunny Sunday. We love it!“

“We had a very pleasant evening on July 19, 2024. Excellent food! Talented musicians and singers! The staff are lovely and speak English and/or French very well. Thanks in particular to the servers Al and Andres for their kindness! Everything was perfect, thank you!“

“Found this place on our first night in Porto and ended up going back for seconds because the food was so good. The dishes sound simple but they are all very flavorful. We tried the padrón peppers, clams, fried sardines, sea bream, grilled octopus, salads and I would recommend all of them! One thing to note is that this place is cash only but they do have an ATM right outside.“

“One of the best cod dishes I've ever eaten. The meal is tasty, well served, and the price and quality are well worth it. It's a great place to eat good food. The green broth is very tasty, order it! The downside is that after leaving the restaurant, we smell the food. In terms of service, it was good, but a little late. I recommend it and I want to go back“

“Excellent experience at Casa do Pescador, in Afurada.
We opted for squid, which was on point, accompanied by mashed potatoes, which were also delicious.
The food is homemade, with that genuine flavor that we appreciate so much.
We ate on the terrace, which offers a pleasant atmosphere, especially on sunny days.
I recommend going as soon as the restaurant opens, as the place fills up quickly and service can be slower due to the large influx of customers.
However, even with a full house, the service remained friendly and welcoming.
I highly recommend it to anyone looking for good food and a relaxed atmosphere.“

“The boss is very nice.
While serving at the door, he took the time to answer our questions.
This is what convinced us to enter there.
Very good fish?
Very well grilled and very tasty.
Go there with your eyes closed.
We will return there with great pleasure..“

“We stumbled upon this restaurant. Usually I plan, read reviews, check everything. In this case there was no need. We were greeted by the owner and taken to a nice table with cloth. We had the mixed seafood plate for two. Followed by (wife made)cheese cake. . all was excellent .We will return.“
