“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”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“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!!”
“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.”

“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.”
“Ragazzi gentilissimi che amano questo mestiere, Da italiana complimenti per la pizza. Andateci!!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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”
“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!”
“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!!!”

“Impressive brunch here, most likely the best I've ever had.
Friendly warm service that was quick and efficient even though we had to queue for a table. The atmosphere is great but the food left me speechless, so good!”
“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!!”

“Porto Weekend 09/08/24: Secret garden and Terrace to the back. BBQ food and a great selection of craft ale/craft beer. Very relaxing and chilled atmosphere! I had the Cucumber, ginger, lime sour and Basqueland extra special bitter! Very refreshing!”
“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!!!”
“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.”

“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!”
“The best restaurant ever in our lives! A unique gastronomic experience that left an impression on us! Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations!
Vegetarian options: The best we've eaten to date!”
“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!”
“The food was excellent, especially the mixed platter. The service was great. We were served nicely and received two port wines on the house. Good location, good food and good vibes. A must-to-be in Porto!”
“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 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!”

“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Welcoming restaurant with soothing light and a small nature corner on the terrace.
The dishes are light and tasty for both meat lovers and vegans.
I highly recommend, especially the attentive staff.”
“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).”
“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!”
“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.”
“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. ?”
“Spectacular food. Magnificent service. We were delighted with the treatment of the waitresses and cooks.
Highly recommended. It's worth it.”
“It's so delicious and the meat is soft~~
It's a bit pricey, but considering the staff's service and atmosphere, I think it's well worth the price! It was a place where sangria and wine were really delicious!! I recommend it ?”

“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.”
“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!”

“(Translated by Google) Very good, nice and open space, you can breathe. Current music.(Original)Muito bom, espaço agradável e aberto, se pode respirar. Música atual.”
“Perfect. "Folhado" with a dose was enough for 4 people (ham, cheese, meat and the outer layer) and it comes with "Ovos Rotos", rice and veggies. Amazing food, delicious and to repeat. Expectations were well delivered. (The waitress could smile more tho!..)”
“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.”

“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”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“One of the best ice creams we have ever had—not just in Portugal-but anywhere!! We had the hazelnut (delicious), black sesame (very delicious), & port wine (divine—I had to go back for 2nds which I never did for ice creams)!”
“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.”
“It's not too sweet and doesn't seem to have a strong taste.
The pastry is very, very crispy. It's the first time I've ever tasted it and it's crispy.”
“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. ”
“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”
“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”

“The litchi bubble tea is my go to. Really nice place with great atmosphere. Their corn dogs are so good also for an afternoon snack. Also a fan of their strawberry milk tea. Love this place.”
“A typical Portuguese place to have lunch or dinner. The owner is very friendly, the food is great, the price is spectacular and the food portions are very good. We will return when we are back in Porto.”
“The best burger ever, I've been coming here since the establishment opened and it's simply incredible. the space is small but comfortable and calm. the food was very good and the staff were very friendly.

“We have been coming to this Mc for several years and we are always well attended to. The food is good and the atmosphere is great. They take part in cup promotions and also offer women's day gifts, etc. The car park is also acceptable for the area”
“Entry with a car is weird. Other than that, everything is 5 stars. Parking is small. Attentive staff.
Vegetarian options: I still don't like the veggie burger. I prefer soup or salad”
“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!!!! ♥️”
“Quiet place despite being a burger king. We liked it a lot
Parking: It has covered and outdoor parking.
Kid-friendliness: Children are accepted.
Wheelchair accessibility: They have an elevator and a ramp to access”
“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 ?”
“5 star service, they knew how to explain the menus.
Pleasant environment for children to play
I really liked the food, very tasty
Kid-friendliness: Large playground”
“Best service I've ever seen, I just ordered and I'm already receiving the food, very quickly.
Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp on the road, perfect for people in wheelchairs”
“I come to show my appreciation for the service provided by employee Ana Santiago, who was super attentive to me, and as I was unable to take the food because I had reduced mobility, she left her work station to help me, for more people like that ??”
“The best thing... the speed in which you have the tray prepared with your products.
The worst... the embarrassing size of the burgers. They are a joke!!”
“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.”
“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”
“The best restaurant ever in our lives! A unique gastronomic experience that left an impression on us! Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations!
Vegetarian options: The best we've eaten to date!”

“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.”
“Wonderfully crazy these francesinhas! Not every day, but not to be missed during a stay in Porto.
The setting is nice, the service is careful and fast and the Sangria is really good. We don't really know what we're eating but it's good and very affordable.”
“Excellent place, it has vegetarian options ? but you can't pay by card, they didn't even accept my Spanish card
Vegetarian options: Good options ?”

“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!”
“The restaurant is next door on the left of the picture with tables outside. A traditional family run Portuguese restaurant. Simple delicious dishes, outside terrace with great views, low prices good value.”
“Food with authentic Mexican flavor in the center of Porto! We ordered guacamole with tortilla chips and cochinita pibil tacos and chicken tinga. The place is very cool and the waiter's attention is unbeatable ??☺️”
“Very good restaurant, we ordered the Picanha and Pulled pork burger, delicious. I highly recommend coming, affordable prices and quality food. Kind and very friendly service! 10/10”
“I really enjoyed it, extraordinary service, friendly and helpful staff, the francesinhas are very good, the spicy peak is even better ? I'll definitely be back ?”
“Typical Portuguese restaurant. Simple, small, you will have to wait but it is worth it. Homemade, quality food at a very good price, in the center of Porto. Cozy atmosphere and kindness of its owner are characteristics to highlight”
“Excellent discovery in Porto.
I have ordered the daily menu. Very rich and very abundant. Only €6.50.
The attention has been exquisite. I will repeat when I return there.”
“An absolute must if you are in Porto and want to watch football or something similar! Diverse selection of drinks at an absolutely fair price, good food & nice, courteous staff.
Next time I'm in Porto I'll definitely stop by again. Obrigado!”
“Amazing food, fast&friendly service! Had the No Fish Burger and tasted very good. Couldn't tell it wasn't actually fish.
Vegetarian options: Vegan food
Dietary restrictions: Option to change ingredients if needed, because it's all freshly made.”
“I went to a lot of cafes and this one is my favourite !!!
The matcha was the best one I’ve had in porto, the banana bread is amazing and moist, the yogurt bowl is simple but very tasty !
Thanks a lot !”
“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.”
“Perfect restaurant!! The must-see when you come to Porto!! The brown waiter and the super friendly boss. All-inclusive meal with drink and bread, no surprises in the bill, very generous and very good. I highly recommend.”
“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.”
“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?”
“Local experience with a Portuguese neighborhood vibe. Here, no English or French so ordering is risky but everything is very good and at a low price, 33 cl beer at €1.2 a pleasure. Dish of the day and sardines as well as very good local donuts”
“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 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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!!!!!”
“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.”
“Delicious food and very kind and welcoming staff.
Had the bean and mushroom burger and its amazing ?
Vegetarian options: The place is vegan so, you're covered ?”
“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!”
“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 .”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
