“One of the best options for pizza in Matosinhos/Porto. Wonderful pizzas with very different flavors, a very tasty, light dough, good olive oil, good wine, very well selected and fresh ingredients, super top notch! In addition to the pizzas being all very well assembled and arriving super quickly, together, hot, it's really good.The environment has a really cool atmosphere, with yellow lights and green plants, well lit, creating an interesting and chic atmosphere.We were very well served, with everyone happy, smiling when serving, friendly. I was completely at ease and satisfied. I believe they could have added a second tablet to view the menu, but everything went well, we chose together without rushing, in peace.The prices are fair, between €9 and €13, but for six people we ordered four pizzas and there were even leftovers. It's okay that we don't eat ourselves to death, but it's okay. If you order one per person, it is very well served!⏩️ Discover pittaporai on Instagram!”
“One of the most modern taverns on the most famous street in Matosinhos! Courteous service, beautiful atmosphere and tasty dishes. From the starter bread to the dishes, everything was very good! I recommend! Average prices for charcoal restaurants.”
“A place with an intimate and romantic atmosphere where charming details stand out.Food that looks like it just came out of grandma's kitchen and excellent service with perfect friendliness and simplicity.Without a doubt, a favorite restaurant ⭐”
“They had recommended it to me because of the food, which was phenomenal, but the treatment... very delighted with Ricardo's attention. Well advised, attentive to us at all times... 15 out of 10”
“We were actually planning on a different restaurant when the waiter flagged us down. Couldn't get in where planned so gave this a try. What a great decision.We had grilled sea bass for two. Wow. Best fish we have had on our trip to Portugal (and we have had a lot). Our friends ordered grilled cod and the waiter suggested, actually insisted, my wife try it. You can see he actually spooned it into her mouth. Very entertaining!”

“If you want to really eat your fill, this is the right place for you. We were warmly welcomed and served very well. At the beginning cheese and sausage are offered (note it costs 15€). We chose the menu and one after the other the waitresses came over with various meat skewers and cut off pieces of them. The side dish is rice, black beans and cabbage. There were also fried bananas, fried onion rings and fried pineapple. We went there at lunchtime (a reservation is necessary as the restaurant filled up very quickly) and that was a good thing, we hardly had anything to eat all daywhat ate! If you want to experience a menu like this, you've come to the right place!!”
“We walked down the street full of seafood restaurants and chose this one based on the volume of amazing looking fish coming off their grill. It was a great choice. Definitely a meal that I’ll remember for the rest of my life. Every single dish from appetizers to dessert was insanely good. Don’t expect any complicated dishes. It’s all simple food but perfectly prepared and seasoned. Even the fresh squeezed orange juice was out of this world.”
“Honestly, if I didn't know it was healthy food, I wouldn't say it was, such was the flavor and quality of the dish we consumed! Both my wife and I and our 3 year old son simply loved the food! The owner was in the store and was super friendly and attentive! We couldn't have liked it more! I'll be back often because I train very close by and I find myself going for lunch after training every or almost every day!”
“This little gem of a cafe is tucked away off the main road, you could miss it if you’re walking fast, but don’t miss it!! The coffee is superb. We had oat milk cappuccino + mochaccino + americano. Their coffee is organic and the owners are lovely and super helpful.”

“Place with many restaurants around, I recommend booking since when we arrived we took the last place left. The food was average, the meat was overdone and the desserts had a very flat taste. Very good service attention.”
“I went at lunch time and as I passed along the street I chose Manel, one of the few restaurants in this area that I don't know. A small but very welcoming restaurant, I started by eating vegetable soup, honestly I didn't like it, a lot of potatoes and it seemed a little salty, then I opted to order grilled squid and then yes, if not the best, one of the best I've ever eaten. Simply divine, tender and very delicious. I enjoyed these squid accompanied by mashed potatoes and vegetables, which were also very good. To finish, I ordered burnt milk for dessert, another delight from this restaurant. And finally, quite affordable for the quality. I'll have to go back to eat squid, I can't even think about other dishes that I believe are also wonderful. Congratulations!!!”

“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.”
“We got there quite late for lunch and the wait staff was very accommodating and let us in. We were a big group and had a grilled fish that was almost 4 kilos, it was grilled to perfection. The waiter served the fish so we didn't have to worry about taking it apart. The fish came with cabbage and potatoes and they were also delicious.The only part that was a bit stressful is that they just started bringing in starters as we sat down and before we realized it, there were already 4 dishes on our table that we had to have sent back.Parking: Very little parking spots in the area, there's on-street parking if you can find a spot and a small paid parking lot near the water but quite insufficient during the high season. There was also a quite aggressive/insistent beggar in a wheelchair who harassed the drivers trying to park.”
“Just ended up here, looking for a decent restaurant. Warmly welcomed by the staff, with suggestions for the fish. All dishes were brought to the table quickly and professionally, the side dishes were also to die for. A paradise spot within walking distance of the ocean! Enjoyed it immensely!”

“I had a good experience in Mauritius, the food was delicious and fresh, especially the chocolate croissant. The place is super beautiful and comfortable. I have nothing to complain about the service either! I went on a Sunday morning and it was empty, so the food arrived very quickly, but I don't know what the service is like on busy days.”

“Wonderful pizzas cooked in an authentic oven. We had to wait a little as we arrived at 12 on Saturday and the oven wasn't hot enough, so they gave us some olives and bread for free while we waited. It was well worth the wait.”

An aquarium in the entrance shows several lobsters that you can select for your meal.They also have a seafood counter with magnificent shrimps (go for the red ones, they are expensive but by far the best), crabs, oysters and other shellfish options.There is a great wine selection and the atmosphere is also great.

“Restaurant with an interesting and comfortable space, friendly staff and good food. The staff does not seem to speak Portuguese, communicating in both English and Portuguese. Very friendly, they welcomed us close to closing time. The starter rolls were good, although there was so much shrimp. The red curry was spicy but very good, as was the rice. Jasmine tea accompanied the meal well. For 4 people, all with a main dish and 2 starters, we paid less than €60. The menu has several traditional dishes so I hope to return again.Vegetarian options: It has vegetarian options as in several dishes you can choose between meat or tofu.Wheelchair accessibility: There are some stairs and no ramp.”
“Our Airbnb host recommended this place and it did not disappoint! My husband and I had a delicious meal here. We started with an order of Padron peppers followed by Robala (perfectly grilled sea bass) for two which came with potatoes and boiled vegetables (carrots and cabbage/kale). All together with a bottle of red wine, our total was €52.50.”

“An amazing restaurant located in Matosinhos. We had sardines and it tasted incredibly fresh and tasty. Loved it. Apart from the fish we also recommend Natas do Ceu, cream of the sky which we had as a dessert.”
“Exquisite Neapolitan style pizzas.The menu is not too extensive, neither in pastas nor pizzas, something that I personally appreciate.Prices are too expensive: medium pizzas around €27 and large pizzas around €40”
“I found the rodízio very similar to other places that serve the same. However, for the price, I think the accompaniments could be better, such as the vinaigrette and farofa.”
“"I had the pleasure of dining at this healthy restaurant today, and it exceeded my expectations! The food was not only healthy but incredibly delicious as well. Each dish was prepared with fresh ingredients and had an amazing variety of flavors. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting.
