Portuguese Restaurants in Matosinhos, PT

“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.“

“It's all very good. Food and desserts, homemade, made all at the moment. Perhaps the only problem is that it took a while to serve us but then we saw that it was because they cook everything at the moment.
Very friendly and very attentive. There is a good quality price relation“

“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.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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!“

“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.“

“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..“

“Highly recommended. Service is excellent and food is even better. People go and support these guys they know their stuff!

“Best francesinha in Porto!

Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian francesinha, also very good!

Dietary restrictions: If you're lactose intolerant or alergic to cheese, you can ask to cover your francesinha with ham instead of cheese.

Kid-friendliness: They have chairs for kids

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant has tables in the ground floor“

“Authentic little place with impeccable prices and large portions. We went here to see where locals come to eat real Portuguese food and were not disappointed.

There is an option for a full menu for €20 per person, but we were not as hungry, so we opted for the haddock fish fillets after a starter of croquets. Both tasted absolutely delicious and I would definitely recommend these. Portions are generous and service is fast; despite the language barrier there were no miscommunications regarding the order. At only €25 including a generous tip, we were full and satisfied.“

“Fresh fish displayed at the entrance and a fire pit next to the road where they will be roasted. Nice atmosphere, friendly service. Prices in line with other restaurants in the region (around 55.00 per kilo), sardines (12.00), side dishes, desserts, etc. Lunch without wine, around 40.00 euros per person.“

“??Home cooking! With huge portions. Not a ton of English spoken here. But if you try you will easily muddle through. Left phone at home but had the bacalao do braga. Basically fried fish accompanied by onions, peppers and garlic in olive oil and a bit of fresh black olives on top. Accompanied by oval shaped potatoes. Basically the best potato chips ever.
Family oriented friendly and very local! We will be back again soon! You will love the price!

??Home cooking! With huge portions. Not much English is spoken here. But if they try, they easily get out of trouble. I left my cell phone at home but ate the cod from Braga. Basically fried fish accompanied by onion, peppers and garlic in olive oil and a little fresh black olives on top. Accompanied by oval-shaped potatoes. Basically the best fries ever.
Friendly family oriented and very local! Soon we'll be cracking again! You'll love the price!“

“To access the restaurant, just exit the restaurant street (R Heróis de França).

Fresh fish from the sea and other Atlantic delicacies. Try the seasonal seafood. As it is a restaurant with a family atmosphere, but with a small room and a new room set up on the sidewalk, at peak times it is difficult to get good service, so I recommend sitting down early (12:30pm) or making a reservation.

Suggestion: for starters you can order grilled garlic bread. Then a grilled sea bass that can be accompanied by mashed potatoes, but also goes well with naughty greens rice or tomato rice. For dessert, a creamy milk.

With these options it is easy to become a customer.

Toilet area and bathroom decorated with sea motifs.

With WIFI available. Reasonable access for people with reduced mobility.

Free parking at the auction – ask for your parking ticket when leaving the restaurant.

“Sensational! Wonderful food: divine octopus, cod, sardines and fish soup! It's really worth the trip! Furthermore, Mr. José, the owner is a very nice person, who gives a lesson on the history of Portugal and makes the meal even better! Congratulations!! Returning to Porto, it will definitely be a mandatory stop!“

“Accueil et service chaleureux, accueillant et agréable. Très rare de nos jours. Cuisine de poissons frais et bien préparer ! Une cuisine et une attention authentique. La Bonne réputation du Portugal passe par ce genre de restaurant ! Obrigado !“

“??I love grilled on open spit BBQ chicken. For those in California, think el pollo loco. Well I found it around the corner from the house… or I should say my wife did. Have to give her full credit.
Talk about a hint of charcoal flavor perfectly grilled on an open flame, and brushed with butter while cooking.
To bring a hot whole chicken home for €7.99 is crazy good if you ask me. Add rice cucumbers, cilantro from the garden a chili and you have a heck of a meal!

“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.“

“Very pleasant space and an excellent terrace.
Friendliness and pride in service.
I ate the first sardines of the year, which were good.
I will return to eat the famous roast veal.
I advise.
Congratulations!“

“We came here by chance because there were 10 of us and we didn't know where to eat.
They welcomed us with pleasure and prepared everything for us very quickly.
The waiters were super attentive the entire time and explained all the dishes to us without any problem.
It is a family business in a small and very cozy place.
The food was SPECTACULAR, we ate several sea bass, sea bream, meat, cod, fritters and squid and everything was incredible.
The super competitive price, compared to the rest of the places in the port that are obviously more touristy.
With top-notch fish and rolling out we don't cost more than €20 per person.

We didn't expect it but we were delighted!
Many thanks to the restaurant family ?“

“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.“

“(Translated by Google) TOP !!! I loved it, you can eat very well, the sisha is top and the drinks are amazing I advise you to go there !!!I LOVE IT !!!(Original)TOP !!! Adorei, come-se muito bem, a sisha é top e as bebidas sao uma maravilha aconselho a irem lá !!!ADOROOO !!!“

“Excellent and inexpensive cuisine compared to the quality and quantity that can be found in these dishes. The wines are also delicious, especially the white which I recommend as well as the Peruvian escalope which is absolutely perfect.
However, the waitress served us bread as well as cod accras which we had not ordered, telling us that it was the aperitif but that she still made us pay in the end (it must be admitted that the accras are not that expensive for their quality (19€ for 20))“

“A great find....I loved absolutely everything about the buffet. Dishes from traditional to innovative. Dinner in a relaxed, cozy atmosphere and with super friendly service....To repeat without hesitation

Vegetarian options: A delicious dish“

“Well prepared and healthy food (low salt). We were 5 people and we ate fried petingas, fritters and fried garlic shrimp for starters (there were no barnacles that day). A 1.8kg sea bass for 4 people and hake fillets for 1 person. 2 bottles of sparkling wine, half a bottle of Quinta do Valado and 2 large bottles of water. A cream milk to share (I didn't have enough belly for more).
It didn't reach 200 euros.
Friendly and attentive staff.“

“Very good grilled chicken, very professional and friendly service, however this year our experience was tarnished by a large, very noisy table, this is already normal in times but here it was above the norm, it's a shame to let this kind of behavior border on drinking, be careful :)“

“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.“

“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“

“We spent a great evening here with very good service. Everything authentically Portuguese and warm with excellent food at reasonable prices. Including many starters and all drinks plus excellent port wine, we came to 170 euros for four people. English was only spoken roughly, but to be on the safe side they always asked and explained so that we felt very well taken care of ?“

“Good in the mouth? With Portuguese cuisine, offering an authentic and memorable gastronomic experience. From the first moment they enter, customers are welcomed by a warm and charming environment, with decor that combines traditional and contemporary elements, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere. standing out for its impeccable preparation and the genuine flavor of Portuguese cuisine. From appetizers to main courses and desserts, every bite is a celebration of the region's rich, authentic flavors. With attentive and warm service, Bom de Boca is much more than a simple restaurant - it is a gastronomic destination that captivates the senses and leaves a lasting memory in all who have the pleasure of visiting it.“

“A traditional restaurant, well-tasting food and average prices.Note: They do not open wine in front of customers. This procedure means that they mix the wines left over from customers' bottles. I don't want to believe that they take advantage of the glasses.Friendly staff.“

“A small and very cozy place with great food. The gentleman who served us was spectacular, charming. We let him choose the 4 menus for us, only 15 euros per person, including drink, dessert and coffee and it was perfect, everything was delicious. Without a doubt highly recommended. We were two adults and two children. Everyone delighted. Thank you so much! We will be back“

They are careful in customer service.(Original)Gosto muito!Simpatia, bons produtos, boa apresentação, higiene que é muito importante! Lugar com ótima energia. Sinto-me bem. São cuidadosos no serviço ao cliente.“

“How is it that every week we say this is our favorite restaurant in Portugal then the next week, something tops it? Well king of the heap this week is Patio do Lo. I assume it’s proprietor Louis, is the namesake. Although his master chef whom we also met is named Louisa. Why quibble over trivial matters. Let’s eat!
And eat we did, we trusted Louis to make this an epic meal, and boy did he!
This place is classic Portuguese with thick exposed stone walls, an ample patio out back. We set near the kitchen, to check out the action.

We started with an amazing warm bread and homemade pimento butter with paprika also homemade tuna salad to spread over that delectable bread. A bowl of olives kept us from chewing the table as we were famished. We let Louis pick the wine and Game on!

The roasted salted peppers quickly followed then shorty the homemade chorizo on fire came. The waiter instructed me to turn it over a few times till we thought it was cooked. Then he expertly killed the flame, and scraped the burnt casing off most of the link then cut it for us to chow down on. My wife said maybe we could get a doggie back and take some home to make chorizo n eggs for breakfast. Not a chance! Perfectly spiced and unctuously fatty rich and meaty, we inhaled it! Just in time for the bacalhau fried crepes, to help sop us some of the chorizo richness. The next unexpected course was a pulled duck pot pie with fresh greens to accompany. Oh man it was richer than Françoise Bettencourt Meyers!
Just as we were thinking some time tonight we are gonna get that steak we ordered…
Nope a scotch egg was next. We never this dish had so while Louis expertly cut it in half he explained what it was all about. Basically art mixed with chef alchemy, decadence and booming with flavor.
As we sopped up the remaining bits of sriracha mayo, the main event finally arrived.
But before Louis put the wooden platter down, he explains to he wife,
“I know you don’t like very rare meat so if it’s not to you liking, I will ask the sachet to continue to cook it, are you willing to try to taste the way we think it’s best?”

Once she said a little scared.. “well… ok… The steak (for 2) was placed in front of us looking all sexy and very rare.
She took a bit with Louis paying very close attention to her reaction ready to pounce and send it back to the kitchen. No need, her eyes glazed over as she barely chewed her first bite. She sat back in her chair and swore out loud, “outrageous! It so good, how the heck… what… where did you learn to cook like this what planet do these cows live on?”
Louise chuckled and explained his theory of cooking and fine cuisine. We were getting a master class from a master while we ate THE BEST STEK IVE EVER EATEN.

While maintaining his panache he humbly introduced us to his master chef Louisa, and maintained while he curates and experiments she was the master.

Then the idea of dessert started bubbling up. But before they turned around to he dessert display I said no sir! I want that steak flavor to be the last thing on my palette. Louisa insisted that if we weren’t going to EAT dessert we should at least drink it.
Perplexed we listen to her explain that what she was going to give us was the their normal “hooch” as the haven’t done something with the sour cherries, but this was a good substitute. Stupidly nodding our heads we went along with it.
Then once the shot glasses were full, Louis took a lime and expertly squeezed some juice in each, then a dash of sea salt. I’m thinking ok this is like a tequila shot or something. Well it was a shot alright, but it was sweet. It only took a minute to register, this complex concoction tasted like I drank a key lime pie, crust n all. Brilliant.

The restaurant is very busy on weekends Louis quipped, because I said I’d be back for the prego sando the next day, my face plastered to the front glass w“

“A town very close to Porto is most famous for its seafood cuisine. This restaurant was recommended by the B&B owner.Very delicious! After asking the waiter to recommend the meal, I ordered clams as an appetizer, and the grilled fresh fish of the day and grilled shrimp as the main meal; the appetizer was full of seafood essence and was delicious when dipped in bread with olive oil. Before serving the main meal There will be two side dishes of olive oil roasted potatoes and olive oil cabbage.The most shocking thing is this cabbage dish. It’s not lettuce mixed with olive oil, but blanched cabbage with simple seasoning and olive oil. We can’t put it down because of the full bowl. It’s really great. Olives The aroma of oil combined with the sparkle of hot cabbage is really unforgettable.The waiter will serve the grilled fish for the main meal at the table. After it is cut, it will be divided into plates according to the number of people, and some will be left for you to do yourself. It is comfortable to watch the waiter's smooth processing speed. The fish is fresh and simple seasoning is quite good. Delicious. The shrimps are grilled and soaked in olive oil. Although it is not too shocking, it is still above the standard.Finally, we added some sardines and dessert to end this delicious meal. The boss was kind and the waiters were professional and enthusiastic. We sat outside and drank wine in the cool breeze. It was an unforgettable meal! 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.“

“I really love a good Francesinha. And anyone who thinks they're coming here to eat a good francesinha is mistaken, you're not going to eat a good francesinha, but rather one of the best Francesinhas in the Porto district.Homemade coffee, nothing fancy?Friendly and attentive staffPrice to be correct, if I were the owner I would charge more money.“

“It was so good that I even forgot to take a photo of the beginning! The place is Incredible and cozy. Mrs. Maria was super attentive and gave great tips. We ate the octopus with green sauce and the grilled squid. Nice atmosphere, we were positively surprised! I will come back more often“

“Excellent experience. ? Great atmosphere, excellent food, super pleasant ambient music and 10-star friendliness! I was attended to by Mr. Rui, who is friendly and super professional! I arrived late and the kitchen was closing and I can only be grateful that they still served me! ??
Thank you very much!!!
The squid was very good :) and the green broth too ? ahhhh and the freshly burnt cream milk... How delicious ?
I recommend!“

“Excellent Portuguese food. We ate grilled lulas (squid) and breaded fillets. They were garnished with potatoes and rice/cabbage. Lots of quantity and at a good price. The diners were all Portuguese. The interior of the place is pleasant and very clean, with an exposed stone wall and another with ceramics with Portuguese motifs. The exterior façade is quite "shabby" and does not reflect the interior reality of the premises. The local staff is very nice and friendly.“

“Very pleasant place to hold events, right in the heart of Matosinhos.
The only drawback is that it is difficult to park, especially if the event takes place during the Senhor de Matosinhos season. Other than that, you can park near the main church and walk the short distance (not recommended for high heels).
The food was very good and fresh and the staff were friendly.
I recommend“

“(Translated by Google) A friendly place. This is mainly a local community meeting, but the tourist is also welcome and very warmly served. You can also easily get decaffeinated coffee with lactose-free milk here. It's not so obvious elsewhere. There are different types of local sweets. I recommend this place(Original)Miejsce przyjazne. Spotyka się to głównie lokalna społeczność, ale turysta jest również Mile widziany i bardzo serdecznie obsługiwany. Bez trudu można dostać tutaj również kawę bezkofeinową z mlekiem bez laktozy.

“The owner doesn't speak English, but he is kind.
The food tastes good too.
However, it was a little disappointing that there was a strange person arguing at the entrance, perhaps because he was a foreigner.
If it's the same, it's the same. If it's the same, it's the same.“

“(Translated by Google) Fantastic spot on a sunny day, great for drinking a beer with a privileged location in the middle of which it is inserted, on rainy days I confess that I never went there. Reasonable price.(Original)Spot fantástico em dia de sol, óptimo para beber uma cerveja com uma localização prevelegiada no meio em que está inserido, em dias de chuva confesso que nunca lá fui. Preço razoável.“

“The food was very good and the quantities were very large. We ordered sardines and baked cod with cream and they were spectacular and the meat melted in the mouth. I recommend the cookie and chocolate cake, a delight.
Great attention, very attentive.“

“I already knew Bushido, it was my first time playing Golf. Perfectly delicious sushi, with fusion pieces, which I don't usually enjoy, surprisingly delicious too.
The staff are very kind. Irrepressible!
The decor is very interesting, although I like the other one better, more suitable for a family lunch or dinner.

Vegetarian options: Vegetable Gyosas, but there were other

Parking: Many or few places depends a lot on the time and day. These are places with metered parking, so if you go during a working day and time you have to pay.“

“Incredibly competent and friendly staff. Relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Generous portions when it comes to food, making the quality/price ratio very appropriate. Fresh, quality ingredients and very well prepared. Good organization of spaces, cleanliness and customer service. I went for the first time for a family dinner and we were very well received and treated well from the beginning to the end of the dinner. A service that is no longer seen in many Portuguese restaurants today. Congratulations on your excellence and professionalism.“
