Someone said that this is an insider tip... totally right! Delicious food, great location and super nice service. The homemade lemonade was great and the risotto was highly recommended. The three of us with two small children only paid €70... crazy!

Vegetarian options: There are some.

Parking: The parking situation in Porto is chaotic anyway. Everyone parks where and how they want and no one cares about it.

Kid-friendliness: Super sweet, just like in all of Portugal.

Happened to stumble upon this place near our accommodation and it was our favourite of the entire trip. The orange butter and bread and the mushroom risotto were spectacular. Highly recommend!

Stumbled across the restaurant and thought the food was great. My partner had the mushroom risotto and I had the cod. We shared a bottle of wine and had a great time.

Very cozy inside. Great outdoors when the weather allows. The best meals of the day in Porto. The food is delicious, the portions are generous, the prices are affordable in comparison to the surrounding venues. Good wine selection too

For those from Porto, this space is shameful.
It may have product quality, but it carries high prices for the content it puts on the table.
Even in a tourist area, this should be taken into account more for outsiders (it makes the gastronomic image of the north look bad)...€30 for two "mini" dishes (as shown in the photo), with a drink and not even a starter... ..it's a robbery!!!!

★★★★☆

The restaurant is a good choice for a quick hunger. The salad was excellent - exactly what I wanted: fresh, crunchy and healthy. The drinks, especially the sangria, were very tasty and refreshing. I particularly enjoyed the sangria with berries, but the variant with cucumber, mint and orange was also excellent (it was a bit too cucumbery).

The atmosphere was cozy. There are a lot of green plants, but unfortunately they are not real. The indoor area is relatively small, but there is plenty of seating outside. Unfortunately we weren't lucky enough to find a spot outside.

One small point of improvement is that bread, olives and an orange butter were served at the beginning of the meal, which we had not ordered and were charged for later. It would be helpful if it was clearly communicated that this is payable.

The salad itself was fantastic, with a perfect mix of crisp freshness, a good sauce with a slight acidity and a sweet note, combined with avocado and pear - really successful.

The service was okay, the waiting time was a little longer than usual. But there was also a larger family present who were relatively demanding to serve.

Another small disadvantage is that you can only pay in cash and not by card. But overall it was a very good experience.

Delicious food up to 2 times. (Lunch and dinner) 2 Also serve another dish that was beautifully presented. A smooth service. A place where locals also come to eat and where you get a small plate on the house in advance. Not expensive at all and friendly staff who also do their best to serve tourists. Toilet was small but clean. Open kitchen where you can see a well-coordinated team twisting and turning on a small surface. 1 disadvantage as a tourist; pay in cash, they do not accept foreign cards. However, this is not a problem as you will find bank machines everywhere. Highly recommended if you want 'real' food and not just another toast, fries or fried snack.

We had squid with rice, then shared a chocolate trio. Sophisticated food based on local ingredients. We've eaten here many times and it never disappoints.

Wheelchair accessibility: This is a tiny place which cannot fit a wheelchair, however, in good weather it is possible to sit outside. Need to check in advance.

Small but nice restaurant in a central location. Quietly located next to the park. Food was super delicious. Rarely have I had such a delicious risotto and it's a great price. Only to recommend.
