“Love this place! Exquisite, creative cuisine made with love for the local produce. But that’s not even the best part - the staff here is! Very knowledgeable, witty and courteous, and we really enjoyed the wine pairings that they recommended. Great value for money and definitely one of the most well-deserved additions to the Michelin guide. We are already planning our next visit to Porto to eat here while further exploring the city!”
“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!!”
“Delicious pasta and normal portion. Very good service, they have attended to us very quickly and very helpful. The pasta was incredible, the dough was very rich and you don't want to stop eating it.”
“Excellent food and service. The waiters were welcoming and attentive. They made our last night in Porto memorable :) As a bonus, there were two very good musicians playing across the street.”
“SUMMARY: THE BEST CARBONARA I HAVE EVER EAT, AND I HAVE BEEN TO ALL THE FAMOUS THINGS IN ROME.
Now more in detail.
We came from a walk, and the letter caught our attention. Super discreet place, there was no one inside the restaurant, but it looked good and we took a chance.
Everyone was very friendly, since it was just us, and the food is spectacular. They put the carbonara on the menu as if it had bacon, but the guy, who is really Italian, made it with guanciale, as it should.
And it was INCREDIBLE, better than Osteria Fortunata and those in Rome.
So far, one of the places where I have eaten the best. I give it a 200/10”

“Absolutely wonderful! Do not skip this gem. Delicious food, incredible and kind service. This place is like going to your grandmother's house and being served your favorite meal.”
“Kooozak place! Run by a real couple of crazy people from Slovakia?? Great beers! There's even wine, but why would you need it when you have access to so many good breweries!!”

“We were thrilled by the service, the ambience and the flavors of the food. Every course had that special something and was accompanied by perfect service. This menu is definitely one of the best we have ever eaten.
Vegetarian options: One menu is vegetarian, it was excellent!
Dietary restrictions: Our daughter eats gluten-free, it wasn't a problem at all and she was able to enjoy her menu without restrictions.”
“Y’all! This place is so beautiful. The furniture is comfortable. The lighting is flattering. The service is excellent. The wine selection is fantastic. The view is great. Yes… I said all that without even mentioning the food yet. The sushi so fresh and beautifully presented. And it’s delicious with some very unique flavor combinations. We had an absolutely wonderful experience here.”
“Despite a very noisy environment, the staff are attentive and friendly. The service is fast and the food was very good in the 3 visits I've made to this establishment. It would be nice if they added a little more salad to the dishes that have this accompaniment. I recommend.”
“The experience at Antiqvvm was very good.
Perfect balance between product, flavor and innovation.
The service was attentive, they adapted the dishes to my dietary restrictions without any problem.
The restaurant is beautiful, both inside and on the terrace with wonderful views.
The price in line with the 2 Michelin stars it has.
Highly recommended visit.”
“We used viamichelin website for a restaurant in Porto and found Apego.It was a good decision to go here, we enjoyed it very much. We took the 5 course tasting menu with pairing wines. Each course we found very tasteful, with the pairing wine further elevating the flavors. To us the key world was balance. Each course fitted nicely with the predecessing course. The crew was very nice, taking time to explain every dish and wine in both Portugese and (perfect) English and making us feel at home. A place we certainly recommend as the people here understand what tasting and pairing means!”
“Exceptional for the French that I am. Restaurant found on Google in Last minute. No complaints, everything was excellent, from start to finish. Unique formula from 8.3 to 9€, to compose yourself, burger with protein of your choice, fries, coffee, drink included, hearty and healthy. Special mention for the lemon pie for €3 which ultimately turns out to be a cheesecake, killer. Don't think!”
“An Indian restaurant in Porto, the food is delicious, white rice, tikka masla and plain naan bread, the tables are comfortable and many, good treatment and fast service... Sandy has worked in Dubai and Saudi Arabia, he is understanding and has good morals and the manager is also kind and respectful. Food that will cure your hunger from not-so-good restaurants. ,,”
“I have ordered a couple of times, their food is incredible... The kanaage chicken is superb.
Called one time to ask what should I order, and the lady who spoke to me advised the drunken chicken noodles, and I can tell you it was delicious.
Have not gone to the restaurant "yet" , but I would bet its 2x better than delivery.
Very good job, Take a Break, can't wait to dine in!!!”
“Very tasty meal with a group of 8 girls. Restaurant is cozy and cozy. The service is excellent and the quality of the food is exceptionally good. Price-quality ratio is top.
Thank you for the beautiful evening”
“From the welcome to the meal, everything was perfect, the cooking, the kindness and the attentiveness of this family made it a very charming place.
Above all, don't hesitate, the place is intimate and really worth the detour!
We had an excellent evening.
I absolutely recommend!!”
Outdoor Dining
“Very nice place! The person who attend us was nice, even in the last 45 min before closing. Thank you! He served us very well, recommended us... Food was delicious and local style, vegetable soup was surprisingly delicious, I also tried an amazing flan / pudding, hand and home made. I would like to repeat to try the main dishes, and we only tried what remains as kind of Portuguese "tapas". Totally recommended.”
“Very pleasant place to have an aperitif with the late afternoon sun on the terrace. The interior is very welcoming and original. We liked the vinho verde, but beer was very popular on the terrace. Nice neighborhood place where you don't feel too many tourists (even if we were!). Great!!!”

“Enjoyed this place! Caulli wings are amazing! Its a big portion, we shared and that was ideal! I got the schnitzel toastie and my friend got the fish burger. Both really enjoyed our meals! For dessert we shared the chocolate peanut butter brownie and ice cream and the cookie cake. The cookie cake was quite bland but the brownie was delicious, definitely recommend that! Really liked this place, nice to sit outside in the evening and have a drink too. Staff were lovely and friendly too!”
“The best price and views. The bad point is that there are not many tables and you have to serve yourself as if it were a fast food chain. The food was pretty good.”
“This family run business may look like a chain, but don't let their great marketing fool you! I was craving a good American style burger which can be hard to find outside the US. Thier menu had exactly what I was looking for! My burger was big and juicy and had great vegetables on it, exactly as I wished. They make the patties by hand. The crinkle cut fries are also an American favorite. Behind the counter and in the kitchen is a mom and son and others. It's so good and so well done I know they'll reach thier goal of opening other stores.”
“I wouldn’t say it’s the best place for Porto wine, but it’s definitely the most cost-effective. The waitress is very informative and helpful, which adds to the experience. Just be aware that sometimes they extend their mid-day break.”

“Rafa is an absolute gem - he curates these tastings with so much passion and attention to detail that you'll be walking away with a newfound appreciation for wine (even IF you already very much appreciated wine before). He does an incredible job fostering a vibe that is both intimate and educational yet still very much unintimidating; by the end of the tasting, it feels like you're enjoying great wine/cheese with old friends at a small dinner party. If you're lucky enough to have an opportunity to snag some time with Rafa, don't even think twice and just book it! It'll be the highlight of your trip. And if it puts anything in perspective, I'm still texting Rafa about wines I'm enjoying in the States to this day ? He’s the best.”
“Wow, we had a great breakfast there today. The restaurant is located on a not-so-busy street and that's what's really nice. The interior is harmonious, there was a little jazz playing in the background and the atmosphere was great for our breakfast. The service was very nice and the breakfast was rich and very tasty.
There's no outside area, but that's not a bad thing. I can recommend the restaurant without reservation!”
“We went to try it and we loved it, my boy not so much because as always he makes the wrong choice.
I had noodles with beef, it was very delicious, my boy ordered the same but with chicken, the chicken was obvious because it was there, but the flavor was not that bad.
We will return to try more things, among others, the coffee with egg that caught our attention.”
“Wow! What a surprising place discovered by chance! We went there to taste the beers, and while looking for a table inside, we discovered this magnificent outdoor terrace behind, with the sun setting over the houses. A beautiful view! And while looking for the toilets, another terrace in the basement, more lively this one! The Cannabis Punch beer was an unusual color, but very good!
The bites we tried were enough for us, we would have tasted the hot dog, but the server was very busy and the hunger passed. But all the dishes that were served around were appetizing. ?”
“It used to be good... Not anymore.
They require each person to order a pizza.
They do not allow sharing.
We then placed a delivery order.
The pizzas were poorly/understuffed, very thin crust.
It's not what it was anymore.
I have been a customer for over 3 years and now the experience is bad.
I don't recommend it.”
“Great service from Rafael, very friendly, he works well, he is very cheerful. I enjoyed being served by him!!!!! I will always come back! If it is God's will!”
“Coffee is great, but the main guy running the cash register was the nicest man. When trying to learn and speak Portugese, I run into many words I still don't know. This happened when ordering coffee. Instead of dismissing my confusion and just speaking to me in english, he clarified and helped me learn a few more words and phrases while speaking to me in portugese. That's service, and that shows care. Made me feel comfortable.”

“Excellent service, good music and extremely well located.
Regarding the food, it was really surprising, the fantastic combinations they make.
I suggest asking the staff what to choose because they got it right for me!
Without a doubt, it does justice to their excellent reputation, being considered a must-have to visit in the city by the Portuguese!
There is no equal, they make a difference, I will definitely come back!
Thank you Zenith ?”
“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”
“Vegan restaurant that operates with a menu of the day.
Excellent food (and drinks), very tasty!
Delicious and beautiful desserts too.
Quiet environment, building that has maintained its old style with simple and beautiful decoration, beautiful tableware, adequate background music, very professional and friendly team, fast and efficient service!
Good energy!
Great experience!
Highly recommended!
Vegetarian options: vegan restaurant”
“Traditional tavern or bar, noisy and with atmosphere, with attentive, fast, friendly and professional waiters who know what they are doing. Of the food, highlight their specialty, the cachorrinhos', they are addictive with their spicy touch and their combination of ingredients. A simple dish that doesn't need anything else! We didn't like the 'francesihna' sauce as much, it could have been spicier and with a lighter flavor, it seemed a little artificial to me. If the fries were homemade, they would be perfect to accompany the 'cachorrinhos'. We waited half an hour for dinner but it was worth it. Don't forget to try them if you have the opportunity.”
“I recently visited O Diplomata and had an amazing experience. The pancakes were fluffy, golden brown, and delicious. The cozy, modern atmosphere was perfect for a relaxing meal. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making sure we were well taken care of. Overall, it was a delightful visit, and I’ll definitely be returning soon.”
“Amazing staff, they take their time to actually explain what the food there is if you don‘t speak portuguese. Really friendly staff. Food (especially breakfast) is wonderful aswell. Server told us that we‘d be coming back and we did! :)
Vegetarian options: Fried spinach pockets are amazing”
“1000/10 Recommended! The sangria was delicious, we ate the trio of hummus plus orpheus casserole... all delicious. The place is pleasant, cool (in summer in the shade, it is pleasant). The attention, very good!”
“Tiny restaurant only 5 tables but very good sandwiches. We had the menu only 11€ with a very good vegetable soup and one of the sandwiches. You cant go wrong with the mozarella one but the sardines one was spectacular”

“It was incredible! The dishes are of exceptional quality! Each tasting is a whirlwind of flavors that burst in the mouth! And the service is top notch! I thank the boy and girl who mainly served us (the others were great too)! They were so kind that I will not forget! We were able to have a bottle of perfectly warm milk for our baby! They were so adorable with our children! And the final bouquet with the digestives! Just thank you for us and for our children! Really ! I'm from France and they have a restaurant in Paris! Well, I will go!!!! ♥️”
“I placed an order for home from this establishment and I have to praise the excellent service provided by the employee/delivery man Márcio Lima.My order was missing an item and I happened to pass this on to him, not so he would have to go and get the item back but just a touch so they would be a little more attentive next time.Not even 20 minutes later, he brought me the same thing, super friendly... even though this was perhaps their procedure, I thought it was a thoughtful act.As I also work in the customer service area, I think these little compliments also make a difference ?”
“Boa localização, a comida tem a qualidade que se espera deste grande grupo mas a limpeza das mesas e das casas de banho deixou um pouco a desejar. Posso entender que o caso das casas de banho possa ser complicado manter sempre em perfeitas condições devido à grande utilização que tem mas manter as mesas vazias limpas, acho que deveria ser uma prioridade.”
“Abbiamo scelto questo locale per le recensioni che abbiamo trovato in rete e posso affermare che erano corrette. Piatti abbondanti e di qualità e tra quelli provati non c'è stato nessuno che non fosse buono. Il menù è un po' limitato ma con una sufficienza di scelte. Prezzo circa 25€ a persona pertanto molto economico rispetto all'Italia da dove provengo. Consigliato”
“Muy satisfechos con Kind kitchen, un sitio agradable, personal amable y muy buena comida. Pedimos las francesinhas que estaban deliciosas y saciaban mucho, además mi novio (no vegano) la encontró muy similar a la tradicional, lo que también es un plus. De postre lamentablemente no quedaban pasteis de nata, pero el brownie estaba delicioso. Las cervezas artesanas muy ricas también.”
Fine Dining
“The overall experience is ok, but there's a lot to improve. After going to similar restaurants (i.e. Omakase Ri in Lisbon) or even comparing it with real Izakayas in Japan, I have to confess they have a lot to do in terms of receiving guest, turning the meal into an experience, keep the environment (sushimans talk loudly to the costumers they are serving at a specific moment) and maintain food rounds in a carrousel of flavours that starts smooth and end up blowing minds. I find the 65euros menu price acceptable, but probably i would get out hangry if they wouldn't had served bread along with the last course before desert - furthermore, at the initial approach in the restaurant they talk a lot about such a bread, elevating the expectations, but it end ups being a bit of a disapointment. I also have to say their kind of Izakaya was overall really good as they manage quite well the "spicy" and "salty" flavours that are not so common in Japanese cousine. Congrats for the innovation but please revise house rules and guest service. Cheers”
“Excellent menu, staff, location. Food was either from Buffett (cold) or ordered from the waiter staff. Well prepared, very attentive, wonderfully creative food. Located in Le Monumental Palace hotel in the middle of Porto. Recommended highly for breakfast; I am assuming lunch and dinner would be as special as breakfast.”
“Very good restaurant in the Sheraton Porto hotel spa. Healthy options, ceviche, carpaccio, fish, and fresh season fruits. The wine list in really good and has most of the varieties in Portugal. A good option when staying in the hotel. Staff is kind and friendly.”
“Bella la location. Personale molto cordiale. Hanno un intero menu vegano molto completo, con addirittura 4 opzioni di franchesinhas vegane. Sono andato con la mia fidanzata e abbiamo preso pica pau come antipasto e 2 franchesinhas, una al seitan e una al tempeh. Parto col dire che le franchesinhas sono molto abbondanti, quindi non è necessario prendere anche l’antipasto. Il pica pau buono. Premetto che non ho mai mangiato le franchesinhas non vegane, quindi non saprei fare il paragone, tutto molto buono ma forse il gusto non mi ha convinto appieno.”

“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”
“We were thrilled by the service, the ambience and the flavors of the food. Every course had that special something and was accompanied by perfect service. This menu is definitely one of the best we have ever eaten.
Vegetarian options: One menu is vegetarian, it was excellent!
Dietary restrictions: Our daughter eats gluten-free, it wasn't a problem at all and she was able to enjoy her menu without restrictions.”

“Perfect little Portuguese café for breakfast or a snack in between. The toasts with cheese & tomato or cheese & ham are particularly recommended. Pastel de Nata and the Portuguese chocolate croissant were also outstanding. Extremely friendly owner who provides excellent service!”
“Super recommended!!! The staff is TOP. We were served by a guy with glasses, I think he was Mexican, charming enough!
The food in terms of quality is not superior, but I think the prices are unbeatable for being in the center of the city. We had 6 tacos, 1 quesadilla and three drinks for €21.”
“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.”
“I had the pleasure of sharing a meal with family in this traditional Portuguese restaurant. The dining experience was exceptional and the service was impeccable. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for authentic Portuguese cuisine. Thank you ???”
“It's a cozy place with a cute doggy living inside. There's not a big choice of food or drinks, rather empty menu. But whatever you take it's good. Nice place to have breakfast and good coffee”
“Absolutely blown away! My wife and I are vegetarians, and we’re so happy to have had dinner here. Everyone was so friendly, and we got to try traditional Portuguese dishes that we would have never tried otherwise. A must visit for anyone traveling to Porto!!”
“Superbe bar à whisky. Eddie est un passionné de whisky et je le remercie pour toutes ses explications et le temps qu'il nous a accordé.
Très large choix de whisky pour tous les goûts avec notamment des produits d'exceptions. Heureusement qu'il existe encore des endroits comme celui là tenu par des passionnés pour nous faire passer de belles soirées.
Je recommande plus que vivement.
Merci pour tout Eddie.”

“We went to Aveiro on purpose to try the famous francesinha at Bufete Pós.
Personally, I loved the atmosphere, the service and the francesinha was 5*.
A typical restaurant (as it almost doesn't exist anymore) with lots of friendliness and quality.
It was at the top.
To be repeated without a shadow of a doubt.”
“Absolutely fabulous restaurant, the atmosphere is great ! We had the most wonderful service by a waiter from Brazil called Bernardo, food was served quickly, he was very attentive with our water glass and always smiling.”
“The spectacular cod with onions, a delicacy of the gods.
Very professional employees. It is a local restaurant.
Whenever you come to Porto it will be a must visit. Obrigado!!!!!”
“Marvelous Vietnamese restaurant! The food is delicious and they have vegan options as well. The staff is really friendly. This is a must go place if you are in Porto!”
“We went to try it and we loved it, my boy not so much because as always he makes the wrong choice.
I had noodles with beef, it was very delicious, my boy ordered the same but with chicken, the chicken was obvious because it was there, but the flavor was not that bad.
We will return to try more things, among others, the coffee with egg that caught our attention.”
“Everything we tried was tasty and delicious. The service was great. A good variety of wine selection. The location is a short distance from the Ribiera district in a quieter area with a beautiful view of the river .”
“Located in one of the city's most trendy neighborhoods - Bonfim - Dona Mira reflects the city's climate of diversity and cultural effervescence. This can be seen as soon as you enter the bar, with the exhibition of photographs of the bar's owners interacting with some of the most important musicians in Brazil. The tribute makes perfect sense since both Carlos and Valéria are renowned producers and singers, respectively.
Here you can find both the comfort to read while drinking a coffee on a rainy afternoon, and the space to share a good wine and some snacks while chatting with friends. At the back of the café there is a terrace where you can make the most of the longest and softest days of the year and, in addition, there is a library. If you didn't bring your book with you to enjoy the moment, no problem, Dona Mira has a library of books to borrow and, even better, there is a small bookstore full of Brazilian editions that are not always easy to find here in Portugal.”
“I discovered this place during my vacation. The staff is kind and friendly, the dishes are delicious and the wine list offers an excellent selection. A very pleasant experience. Advised!”
“Everything spectacular. Without a doubt the mixed table is TOP. The ham offered made us afraid (being Spanish) that it would be bad. To our surprise it was also very good.”
“really good service, cute and amazing staff!
food and atmosphere are amazing!
love the kara age chicken and potato salad. for a fresher option chose the sunomono cucumber salad!”
“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.”
“Exceptional for the French that I am. Restaurant found on Google in Last minute. No complaints, everything was excellent, from start to finish. Unique formula from 8.3 to 9€, to compose yourself, burger with protein of your choice, fries, coffee, drink included, hearty and healthy. Special mention for the lemon pie for €3 which ultimately turns out to be a cheesecake, killer. Don't think!”
“The cachacaria is wonderful!! Large space, and wonderful service, who served us was Marcelo, who made a point of explaining each drink!! I highly recommend a coffee!! And the cheese roll is delicious!!! The price for the drinks I found affordable!! Ask for a taste of Jambú cachaça!! It's really worth getting to know!!”
“Amazing staff, delicious food! Very worth the visit. I feel at home.
Vegetarian options: Varied and very tasty options, leaving nothing to be desired, not just a “little way” as seen in many establishments.
Dietary restrictions: I don't eat pepper, which is challenging for Korean food. But the wonderful team responded beautifully to my restrictions.”
“The space is well decorated and is comfortable and pleasant. The service was good, not too long, and we received great suggestions.
The food was delicious. We particularly liked the sashimi based, the Miso Ramen and the lemongrass Panna Cotta.
Repeating!”

“Spectacular food. Magnificent service. We were delighted with the treatment of the waitresses and cooks.
Highly recommended. It's worth it.”
“Highly recommended. Our waiter David was very attentive and pleasant, we were able to communicate in Spanish, Portuguese, English and French. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very cozy. I will repeat 100% if I return to Porto.”
“Y’all! This place is so beautiful. The furniture is comfortable. The lighting is flattering. The service is excellent. The wine selection is fantastic. The view is great.

“It's so good ! There was not a dish that disappointed us! Mention excellence for their prawn risotto. But everything is excellent. The service and welcome were perfect! If you are in the area don't hesitate!”
“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.”
“I am a FAN of Guinness, they have it, on tap, the music is my style, for those of 60 with a somewhat varied taste but good music. Different places to enjoy, very large screens with sports, today it's O games. And unbeatable, trustworthy attention, to repeat and repeat...”
“Really good vegan food, but drinks menu is not 100% Vegan. Wine is clearly marked, but they have cocktails and spirits that are not Vegan. For example: had 4 or 5 choices of port, disappointingly none of them were Vegan. Food was very good, menu had plenty of choice, drinks menu was a let down.”
“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.”
“Really delicious, flavorful food. All of it is plant based and small plates (recommendation is to order 3-4 per person). Staff explained it all very well, and they even gave great suggestions for wine pairing. Definitely worth making a reservation!”
“The food is good but not of great quality, and a good place to eat and spend time with the family. If you are looking for high quality sushi this place is not suitable.”
“Vegan restaurant that operates with a menu of the day.
Excellent food (and drinks), very tasty!
Delicious and beautiful desserts too.
Quiet environment, building that has maintained its old style with simple and beautiful decoration, beautiful tableware, adequate background music, very professional and friendly team, fast and efficient service!
Good energy!
Great experience!
Highly recommended!
Vegetarian options: vegan restaurant”
“Top notch restaurant! Really great welcome!
The place is magnificent with a view of Sao Bento station. It took us a little time to find it but it was definitely worth it!
The meal is delicious! Jr recommends! not to be missed.”
“This amazing place is highly recommended.
You can pick ingredients from a list to make up your own salad, and it comes out so yummy! Generous portions, tasty food, lovely watresses, it all leaves you happy and smiling.
Vegetarian options: Plenty of ingredients to make up your own salad.”
“A fabulous discovery.
Whether it's the food, the setting or the staff, there is not a single false note. Chance brought us to this restaurant, one thing is certain, if I have to return to Porto, it will be to Tabusa Rasa that I will delight my taste buds.”
“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!”
“Very good place to eat green broth and tripe. The bread and olives are very good. Very good service, professional waiters. The place is clean and the tables are very well dressed.”
“The best restaurant I have visited in a long time. Everything, from start to finish, spectacular. Food, service, friendliness 5/5. We ordered salmon, sea bass and prawn ceviche, each dish was a spectacular experience. It's been a long time since a restaurant managed to surprise me, despite high expectations. Simply spectacular! A must in Porto”
“Very good food and fast service. Had to wait in line to get in, but the queue was very fast. In 10mins we were seated and we got everything very quickly.
Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options and a few vegan.”
“Siamo andati per mangiare un pastel de nata, ne ho subito mangiati 2. Il ristorante ha molte opzioni vegane. Il personale è molto cordiale, la location molto carina.”
“Absolutely Lovely place.
Typical downtown Porto urban plot. Granite building long and narrow, with a double height ceiling and mezzanine inside.
The back garden is a gem. Spacious enough for a few groups, with vegetation and studied lighting, which creates a great atmosphere at night.
Service was great with a nice and helpful team.
I recommend all the pizzas!
Will come back for sure.
A bit pricey, but not far at all from standard Porto bars”
“Excelent vietnamese food. We skipped the Pho and ventured the noodles with fish sauce, delicious. Rice cookies delicate and tasty.
Attentive service and a relaxing environment. A place to return.”
“A beautiful restaurant, very pleasant, the cuisine is great and the best is the treatment and service. There was a tiny problem with sending the translation of a dish and they solved it in a very professional manner. ”
“Spectacular. Creative, incredible dishes. Super recommended. We left shocked. The service was excellent, the Argentinian waitress was a sweetheart. I enthusiastically recommend”
“I liked the atmosphere and the very professional and friendly service. Employees always pay attention to customers and their well-being.
In terms of daily dishes, I liked my choice of very tender meat, but the other people thought that their dish (fish) fell far short of expectations.
Quality/price ratio a little high”
“I really enjoyed the Korean Fried Cauliflower—the crispy coating and sticky, spicy sauce were a great combination, full of flavor without being overpowering. The mushroom ‘duck’ pancakes were just as good, with a nice texture and rich, savory taste that worked well with the soft pancakes. Both dishes were well-balanced and definitely worth ordering again.”
“Great place!!! We were very well received by (I think) the owner of the establishment who introduced us to Venezuelan specialties!!! We had a great time ? I recommend this establishment.. very warm welcome as usual in Portugal ?? ?”
“Excellent restaurant! Impeccable service from Bruno and excellent advice from Bar tender Manuel!
A place to repeat without a doubt!
(Not to mention the primium location).”
“Great music, great beer, great staff, what more could you want!
Nice covered outdoor area, lots of seating. Amazing beer selection with beers from Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Nordics, UK. Brilliant!
Really enjoyed the unusual cucumber beer.”
“A hidden but exceptional place. Excellent cuisine, very welcoming and friendly manager. Well worth getting off the main tourist routes to enjoy. Excellent value.
To do !”
“Good homemade food for little money. And the kindness of the owners is appreciated. You have to go early because it fills up very quickly, since it has few tables.”
“I’ve been eating sushi for a long time. A lot of sushis. The quality of their fish is amazing. I loved the Japanese combo we took away to our airbnb. Would recommend. Perfect 5/7.”
“The food here is excellent. I was surprised by how unique the dishes are and packed with flavor. I could easily go there multiple times a week. Really friendly staff and fast service!”
“Wow, this was the best pokebowl ever had! Really soft and fresh and tasteful ingredients. And the best part: you can make healthy choices like quinoa or brown rice. Really loved it and highly recommend it!
Vegetarian options: You can create your own pokebowl
Kid-friendliness: There's a kids menu with chicken and sweet potato”
“The overall experience is ok, but there's a lot to improve. After going to similar restaurants (i.e. Omakase Ri in Lisbon) or even comparing it with real Izakayas in Japan, I have to confess they have a lot to do in terms of receiving guest, turning the meal into an experience, keep the environment (sushimans talk loudly to the costumers they are serving at a specific moment) and maintain food rounds in a carrousel of flavours that starts smooth and end up blowing minds. I find the 65euros menu price acceptable, but probably i would get out hangry if they wouldn't had served bread along with the last course before desert - furthermore, at the initial approach in the restaurant they talk a lot about such a bread, elevating the expectations, but it end ups being a bit of a disapointment. I also have to say their kind of Izakaya was overall really good as they manage quite well the "spicy" and "salty" flavours that are not so common in Japanese cousine. Congrats for the innovation but please revise house rules and guest service. Cheers”
“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.”
“So grateful to have discovered this little gem. This kind of authentic restaurant has become rarer in Porto over the last years.
What makes it so special, besides the fantastic food, is the fact that Miguel runs this restaurant as a one-man show. He stands behind the kitchen and serves all the tables. Dinner started with a delicious fish soup, and then I chose the “polvo cozido” (boiled octopus), which was super fresh and delicious.
For dessert I chose the “pudim” which was also delicious!
I will definitely be back. Don’t be set back by the 60-70’s style interior design. The food is authentic, everything homemade and fresh for very fair prices.
Unfortunately my phone’s battery was empty, so couldn’t take pics.”
“Exceptional, both food but mostly the wine pairing and service. Great value for money given it is a Michelin-restaurant and the caliber offered in all aspects. Definitely a recommendation for when visiting Porto.”
“Obsessed!! It's amazing. Hands down my favorite bar is Portugal!! ? Fernando, Pedro and the whole crew working with him tonight went above and beyond to show us and teach us about anything and everything possible while this place is maxed capacity!!! So impressed and will definitely be recomending this place to everyone!”
“We experienced the tasting menu on our visit with another couple. We are all from the USA. The meal was a wonderful experience. The service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was elegant.”
“Small neighborhood place, a friendly and nice maitre d', PLENTY of food (1/2 PORTION IS ENOUGH FOR 2 PEOPLE... you can choose a whole portion or half portion) with 20 euros you can eat and drink for 2 and the food is really good !(We spent double not knowing that half was enough but we left full and sated) EXCELLENT quality/quantity/price ratio! Highly recommended”
“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.”
“This restaurant was a very pleasant surprise. The dishes were incredibly good and not that expensive not the quality.
Choose a dessert because there are surprises ;)
The servers were super nice
I highly recommend”
“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."”
“One of the best, most delicious sushi restaurants I’ve had globally. Located in a quiet part of the city, we were the only ones dining there at 7:30PM on a weeknight. We shared the 30 piece sushi and veggie gyozas. Affordable for the high quality sushi.”
“You should not miss this Portuguese food restaurant. A place where you can eat spectacularly at a very reasonable price. Extensive menu of all types of Portuguese food”
“I discovered this place thanks to a video app, and I am extremely grateful. It is hidden, but it is worth going up the stairs… the view from the terrace is exceptional. And I enjoyed one of the best sunsets in Porto, along with a good wine, and good music. It is worth highlighting the attention of its staff. Thank you so much!”

“This was a fabulous find, not from our hotel in the Ribeira district of Porto. Everything we ate was delicious, reasonably priced and beautifully presented. Loved the Sangria filled with fruit. Victor and his staff were exceptionally helpful in making dining choices. Cozy & contemporary atmosphere. Highly recommend.”

“Super recommended!!! The staff is TOP. We were served by a guy with glasses, I think he was Mexican, charming enough!
The food in terms of quality is not superior, but I think the prices are unbeatable for being in the center of the city. We had 6 tacos, 1 quesadilla and three drinks for €21.”
“We came to the Lagostim restaurant yesterday afternoon... the meal was so good that it would have been a crime not to go there a second time. Returning the next evening, we were able to see again the quality of the dishes. Serious and pleasant service, and what you find on the plate is just as pleasant. Between the octopus and prawn cataplana, the sautéed shrimp, not to mention the grilled sea bass and clams à la Bulhão Pato (if you have to choose a starter... this one is to die for): it's hard to doubt the quality of the ingredients and the authenticity of the cuisine. For an authentically Portuguese meal with a setting that matches the same, we can only recommend Lagostim. It is more than certain that we will come back during our next stays in Porto, and I advise you to do the same!”
“Very tasty food. Had a market plate with salad, herb tofu and the roast artichoke. Location is great, service is good. They have beautiful plates, cups an saucers and food is fresh and delicious. Returned the next day for another delicious lunch: had the avocado bowl with a herb tofu side Updated from previous review on 2025-04-27”
“Excellent service, good music and extremely well located.
Regarding the food, it was really surprising, the fantastic combinations they make.
I suggest asking the staff what to choose because they got it right for me!
Without a doubt, it does justice to their excellent reputation, being considered a must-have to visit in the city by the Portuguese!
There is no equal, they make a difference, I will definitely come back!
Thank you Zenith ?”
“I popped in for a coffee but was giddy with surprise that there was fresh fruit bowl on menu - how often does that happen. And it wasn't just apples and oranges. Menu has plenty of plant based options. Pancakes, acai, bagels, toast, comfort bowls, salads, Burgers and desserts. Even a healthy bounty.”
“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!”
“Bella la location. Personale molto cordiale. Hanno un intero menu vegano molto completo, con addirittura 4 opzioni di franchesinhas vegane. Sono andato con la mia fidanzata e abbiamo preso pica pau come antipasto e 2 franchesinhas, una al seitan e una al tempeh. Parto col dire che le franchesinhas sono molto abbondanti, quindi non è necessario prendere anche l’antipasto. Il pica pau buono. Premetto che non ho mai mangiato le franchesinhas non vegane, quindi non saprei fare il paragone, tutto molto buono ma forse il gusto non mi ha convinto appieno.”
“Traditional tavern or bar, noisy and with atmosphere, with attentive, fast, friendly and professional waiters who know what they are doing. Of the food, highlight their specialty, the cachorrinhos', they are addictive with their spicy touch and their combination of ingredients. A simple dish that doesn't need anything else! We didn't like the 'francesihna' sauce as much, it could have been spicier and with a lighter flavor, it seemed a little artificial to me. If the fries were homemade, they would be perfect to accompany the 'cachorrinhos'. We waited half an hour for dinner but it was worth it. Don't forget to try them if you have the opportunity.”
“I found an amazing spot in Porto where I tried the best Portuguese Custard Tarts (Pasteis de Nata) I’ve ever had! The pastry was perfectly flaky, and the creamy custard filling was just the right balance of sweetness. It’s a must-visit for anyone in Porto looking to experience this iconic treat at its finest.”
“Fantastic service, wonderful food and even better space. We were attended to by Francisco who treated us with the greatest friendliness and hospitality. The perfect example of someone who performs their role with excellence. In short, I recommend this place and hope to continue to be present in this fantastic space. (We were at the table next to table 181)”
“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.”
