Portuguese Restaurants near Alfena, PT

“Local pizzeria with excellent quality.We are always well looked after and served.I would definitely highlight the pizzas, very well filled and with a very fluffy dough, and the francesinhas... Both the fact that they are made with Scandinavian bread (which gives them a different but very good touch) and the sauce, which is spicy and delicious.Some people prefer the "normal" francesinha or Filiana but I always choose the vegetarian one which is great too!See you soon!“

“(Translated by Google) It is necessary to know how to respond even when we have more than 1000 piglet orders... I know that earning more than 100K in 2 days of a lot of work, but if you want to go far, you have to improve your service(Original)É necessário saber atender mesmo quando temos mais de 1000 encomendas de leitão... Eu sei que faturar mais de 100K em 2 dias da mt trabalho, mas se querem chegar longe tem de melhorar no atendimento“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent food quality. Very good service. Good quality price ratio. I recommend roast veal and fresh house wine.(Original)Excelente qualidade na comida. Muito bom atendimento. Relação qualidade preço bom. Recomendo vitela assada e vinho da casa bem fresquinho.“

“I was having lunch, and I was very well attended, the homemade food was very good and well served, the owner of the establishment came to us and asked if we wanted another veal rib and we brought it with great sympathy and a big smile on his face, super I recommend.“

“The space itself is well maintained, very modern.
Normal staff service
Food itself was veal, which I found very dry, tasteless, something already cold or heated.
Exaggerated price for the quality of service.
Location in an area adjacent to the center, close to the industrial area.
We went on a weekend, Sunday. Letter service, deserved some differentiation from the ordinary.
The only thing that was still worth it were the tickets. Cheese board, ham, red fruit jam, etc....

However, I don't recommend it.“

“Super friendly staff, Caio and Andressa, wonderful food, the first time I ate francesinha and I don't want to try it anywhere else, the chocolate ice cream with pistachio dessert was the best I've ever had in my life! Very good, I highly recommend it.“

“This restaurant and the owners are just amazing! The location is charming and we had a lovely table facing the street. People would stop by the window and look at our food which was probably the best Italian food we’ve ever had. The warm welcome by the owners as well as every item we ordered was outstanding. You receive fresh bread with olives and olive oil as much as you desire and it was scrumptious. For appetizers, we ordered a salad and chicken meatballs, and they were very delicious. For dinner, we had the salmon, Bolognese, a veggie pasta and they were cooked to perfection. The absolute star of the meal was a mushroom pasta: it was decadent and like no pasta we’ve ever tasted! The owners ( husband and wife) were SO sweet! We cannot wait to come back to Porto and eat at this absolute gem of a restaurant again!“

“This is such an amazing place! Firstly, the couple who runs it is absolutely professional, full of knowledge and so sweet. Then, the food and wine is absolutely delicious, local, authentic but feels very high class. We will come back for sure!“

“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“

“A must try in Porto!

We booked a meal at Flow for the last night of our holiday in Porto and it was excellent!

It is a beautiful restaurant hidden away off one of the cobbled streets. A lovely interior theme to it and great ambiance.

The food was delightful, we had starters, main and deserts and all were delicious. Standouts on my meal were the chestnut fondant served with the pork and the peanut and salted caramel cheesecake!

They had many staff on, who were all attentive and we were mainly served by Rodrigo who was very jovial and friendly!“

“Very good site. 2 spacious and very elegant rooms, very good service and very well prepared food and lots of quantity. We left very happy and we will return.
You can try many typical dishes of the city but it is not a tourist place packed with people. Very good experience“

“Place located along the Douro on the less chaotic and congested side with tourists. This gives the place a beautiful romantic atmosphere which, combined with the view of the bridge, is truly exceptional. The staff is trained and very helpful.
The dishes are simple and varied.“

“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.“

“During our stay in Porto, my girlfriend and I found this small, traditional restaurant. It was cozy, a bit noisy, but the food was really delicious and very affordable. The staff was friendly, and even though you might have to wait for a table, it's definitely worth it. A true hidden gem!“

“We stopped in here after long day of sightseeing in Porto. We were tired and hungry, and this place was a little oasis. My wife ordered the Seabass with sweet potato and it was excellent. I ordered the prime with fries and it was excellent also. Service was great. I would recommend.“

“Amazing place to come for lunch or dinner. All delicious dishes, special mention to the cod and octopus. The place is very nice and cozy. All the staff are very friendly, although we must highlight David, who was very attentive to us at all times.“

“Tiny place with an open bar where Hans the chef prepares all the food. We had only vegetarian dishes, and everything was amazing! Hands down, one of the best and most creative dinners I have ever had, that goes along with a great selection of wines. Service was super friendly and professional.

Vegetarian options: A decent portion of the menu is vegetarian“

“We had a dinner in Ode, and the experience was fantastic, and very unique.
To enter, you have to use a knocker to be allowed inside, and when seated, you are greeted with a welcome letter, which is very interesting, and not seen in any places that I have visited.
The interior is also very nice, with little lighting, and just stone and wood, making a very simple style.
The food was outstanding. Although the menu is quite small, the dishes are all amazingly made, with the meat and octopus tender, and the chickpeas made with bacon.
There is also a very large wine selection, which offers a large variety (as the wine menu is considerably larger than the food menu).
The staff are extremely friendly, greeting you, explaining the food options, checking for allergens, explaining the wine choice, and more.
The prices are very high, however, if possible, it is definitely a place worth visiting, for the food—and equally as much for the experience.“

“They still exist! This is my seventh time in Portugal and this is another neighborhood restaurant where you can eat very well for a competitive price!
Friendly service and good food, leave the center and see it in this neighborhood.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my octopus! It was a giant tentacle and everything that came with complimented it nicely. It was tender and flavorful.
The pork neck was nice and came with such big sides we couldn't finish.
The waiters were attentive and lovely.
Hope to go back!“

“Located in front of Praça Carlos Alberto, in the heart of the city of Porto, Casa Expresso is an iconic place and a true reference of Portuguese gastronomy and traditional flavors.
Spaces like this are a rarity these days, which are urgently needed to preserve, where you can feel the Tripeiro spirit, of the old Tascas/Casas de pasto in Porto.
Traditional Portuguese cuisine of excellent preparation/quality and lots of flavor.
Between a quick lunch, a tasty snack or an excellent dinner, a wide range of solutions from opening to closing.
Speed ​​and efficiency of service are the House's main items.
A wide variety of snacks and sandwiches, where the signature dishes are the Sande de Rojão and the Sande de Presunto.
My option was a snack, consisting of Cod fritters and Rojão sandwiches, which were delicious.
I finished the tasting with a spicy Queijo da Serra with Salpicão of excellent flavor.
Good price/quality/service ratio.
Good service, great availability and a lot of friendliness from the entire staff.
Congratulations to the Owner, to whom I wish continued success in preserving this Excellent House.

I highly recommend it?“

“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.“

“Nothing particularly interesting in this francesinha and in this space. Maybe it's a matter of taste, but the sauce is extremely spicy, which I don't like and doesn't allow me to fully taste the other ingredients. The sausages were nice, but the steak was too rare and dry.
The service is relatively fast but quite depersonalized. When we arrived, we waited 10 minutes at the door without any type of interaction from the staff who completely ignored our presence.“

“Very pleasant restaurant, a great atmosphere, we were able to taste dishes accompanied by port which were very well recommended to us. There were 3 of us wanting to share everything, we ended up keeping everything individually because it was so good! Thanks, we’ll be back soon ?“

“Without a doubt one of the best places to eat in Porto. Traditional food at an unbeatable price. It is perfect proof that by doing things right, having just a few tables is enough for you. A small and cozy place where you feel at home.

We ordered pataniscas, cod fritters, cod and rice.

I couldn't say what I'd choose because we take cod for granted as being good, but the rice...it's from another world. Accompanied by a green wine, it is a perfect combination.

If we look at the price we completed a perfect evening, everything was €40 (2 people).“

“This is a local restaurant.
The location is quite remote.
I had fried octopus and sardines.
The fried sardines are really seasoned just right, and they're just rice thieves.
Overall, it is a good restaurant with good taste and reasonable price.“

“The waitress offers impeccable, pleasant and agile service. Plus I heard him speak at least 4 languages...
The place is nice and cozy.
Of what we ate, I have to highly recommend the chorizo, incredible... The cod was also very delicious, with a sauce that gives it a different touch.“

“A very nice place, very attentive staff. The worst thing was the wait because since the restaurant was small we had to wait a long time.
We had a luxurious dinner of grilled cod and octopus with baked rice that was brutal… highly recommended.“

“Impeccable.
Wonderful food, very good staff.

Just pay attention to the invoice.
I paid €9 for butter that wasn't even on the table. (My fault, I paid and only checked later). But we just have to pay attention to the invoice, otherwise, I advise you. ?“

“Paulo and Miguel treated us excellently and were very attentive, all the more reason to come back to eat the delicious pernil sandwiches.

Everything EXCELLENT.

We take a good taste in our mouths to Madrid“

“After all, Saints in the house perform miracles. Being from Areias, I had been wanting to try Madeira Taste for months. It was missing! From the bolo do caco, to the cod to the kebabs, everything is great! The poncha is fabulous... Diverse menu with all the flavor of Madeira! Areias (or Além Rio) and Santo Tirso came out on top...to repeat! Several times...“

“Dopo aver perso la cognizione del tempo in una bella passggiata lungo il Douro, presi da un attacco di fame, siamo capitati qui e c'è andata davvero bene! Il baccalà è buono, lo abbiamo preso a bras e alla maniera di porto, entrambi interessanti e generosi, sia in quantità che in condimento. Il caposala è stato molto attento. Promosso!“

“I had the pleasure of tasting the grilled squid at Migalhas Restaurant and I must say that it was an exceptional gastronomic experience. The calamari was perfectly cooked, soft and flavorful, accompanied by tender potatoes and fresh vegetables. A true delight for seafood lovers! I highly recommend this dish to anyone looking to experience authentic, well-prepared flavors. I will come back without hesitation."“

“I’m someone who truly appreciates good restaurants, and this one is absolutely exceptional!

FOOD:
- The food here is top class, with incredible attention to detail in every dish. I highly recommend the Steak with Queijo da Serra (Serra Cheese) and the Duck Magret with Porto Wine Sauce. Both dishes are exceptionally delicious, boasting a premium taste that is hard to find elsewhere. My friends had the Cod with Cornbread and mentioned that it was excellent as well.
- As for drinks, we enjoyed the White Sangria, which was delightful. The Porto Wine served after the meal was also a perfect finish. Next time, I’ll definitely try a Red Wine to complement the meal.
- For dessert, I would suggest trying the Crème Brûlée and the Portuguese Biscuit Cake; both were great!

SERVICE:
- The service was superb. Everyone was friendly, positive, and very relaxed, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Miss Beatriz, our server, did an excellent job, ensuring that we had everything we needed and felt well taken care of.

ATMOSPHERE:
- The atmosphere was, in my opinion, the best part of the experience. The environment was quiet and peaceful, allowing us to have a conversation without any loud disturbances. It was a wonderfully cozzy and relaxed setting where we could comfortably hear each other. The only suggestion I have is to add a fan or air conditioning, although the fresh air from outside was quite refreshing.

Overall, this was a 10/10 experience, and we will definitely be back.

Highly recommended!“

“I loved.
Highly recommended, especially the traditional sausage from Portugal
The young man who served us a 10.
Very attentive, he explained the dishes very well and the truth is that he made us feel at home
100% recommended“

“Well now it was our first morning in Porto and since it is close to our accommodation we tried it for breakfast and we thought it was great. At dinner time we were close and we came in, abundant dishes and the waiter was very friendly. Very affordable price“

“great meal
tasting
at affordable prices for everyone
pleasure
Both dishes were of a high standard
The coffee was good

And the chocolate mousse was mainly ice cream with chocolate cream

In conclusion
The best restaurant we have eaten price versus benefit

really forced“

“Very nice discovery, the cuisine is simple and excellent, a nice, typical place and an impeccable waiter, very nice. I highly recommend . All is well !!!! Taste their dried meat as an aperitif, and of course the house Portuguese white wine!“

“Cozy place, funny and friendly staff, good and homemade food, good starters and the veal was also good, lots of dessert, great sangria! A special note for the waiter Sale, very helpful and funny, a Pakistani who shows many Portuguese people how to serve the table, the manager was also super attentive, he went to get a high quality Portuguese limoncello which made the already pleasant dinner super fantastic! After
Hearing so much I went and we liked it, I recommend it! Good experience (very good decoration)“

“We had dinner there and it was great.
I took the cod and prawn risotto and it was a wonder! I haven’t eaten a dish so flavourful for a while.

I really appreciated that our waiters help with the wine pairing and made sure that everything was fine during our dinner.“

“Very good food, really nice location even if spartan.
Friendly waiters, but unfortunately they forgot our order, serving other customers who arrived after us first and brought us the wrong dish, even though it was still very good cod.“

“Today, Monday for lunch only, the options were cod fillets or sardines with greens rice, there was also pinky cutlet with white rice.The owner Mr Pedro and his daughter D.Mariana serve with some good humor in Porto fashion.This is a place on Rua do Bonjardim in front of Rua do Paraiso, which is typically traditional.I would say yes, I would recommend it and I would come back this time a little sooner :)“

“One of the best places to eat traditional and with the flavors that characterize our country!
From lamb to steaks, from starters to the occasional toast to eat and cry for more and with owners who haven't been in business for 2 days
A house of tradition and respect, with a mandatory stop for those who enjoy excellent gastronomic experiences“

“Très chaleureux. Très accueillant. Un choix de bons vins inégalable. Prix très convenable. Excellent rapport qualité-prix. Je le recommande à tous ceux qui passent par Porto !!! J’y reviens régulièrement lors de mes passages à Porto. C’est un incontournable pour moi. Que ce soit pour les amateurs de viandes ou de morues. Cette dernière est vraiment exceptionnelle dans ce restaurant. Ne pas oublier de goûter la sangria blanche pour éveiller tous vos sens avant le repas afin de profiter pleinement de votre expérience. Pour les desserts je ne saurais que dire de plus que : essayez vous comprendrez????????“

“Lovely place, few tables and very warm treatment. The kitchen is very close and you can soak in the smells of the dishes, feeling part of the cooks' culinary experience. Although if desired there is a terrace. Very balanced and complete dishes. To repeat.
Reservation is recommended due to its space.

Vegetarian options: Varied and very balanced dishes with all the elements necessary for a good vegetarian diet.“

“Everything was magnificent, the taste of the food was exceptional, the two girls who served us were attentive to everything.
We would definitely repeat.
Just 7 minutes from the river, it's worth the climb!
Thank you for serving us so well!“

“Comfort food is of extreme quality. A wide variety, here we can choose several dishes and even some good boards. Service is provided with great friendliness and availability. Always concerned about whether everything is to the customer's liking.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND.“

“When you know about pruning, you know!
Excellent food, in my case an impeccable alheira puff pastry! The restaurant was full at lunchtime and, as I found out, it's always like that! The service is very pleasant and familiar! I'll be back for sure!“

“The service was the best of any restaurant ever.. It was so good that I was surprised that I could ever receive such service.
The male employee wearing glasses is very kind and the service is very good. I hope you are happy?
Of course the food was delicious, but it was a steakhouse that felt even better because they were so friendly ❣️
A restaurant where everything was perfect...: I really recommend it??
TA BOM!!“
