Great discovery in Porto. We were very well received, the service was fast and we ate very well without feeling heavy at the end of the meal as can happen in other restaurants in the area. We recommend 100% and we will come back to taste the rest of the great menu.

We stopped here for an authentic Portuguese meal and was not disappointed! Opted for a nice bottle of wine and small plates to share, everything was delicious especially the garlic prawns! The hostess was also very lovely and welcoming! Would absolutely recommend !
Brilliant little restaurant. Certainly has more 'cafe' vibes than wine bar, but perfect for a chilled meal with friends. Great selection of food, all well priced. Perfect chance to try different local foods. Restaurant only has a couple of tables, and our server was very helpful, friendly and funny. Google translate was useful! We went to lots of fancier restaurants on our visit, but this was our favourite!
Good food and nice wines at reasonable prices.

Yes, when you go here it may look intimidating because of just the layout and it's not really touristy, but just go here. No one really speaks English well but that, again, doesn't matter. Don't let it scare you. Great choice for tapas. True tapas. Get the chorizo, cause its heaven. We got two of them. Get the shrimp, because by God the flavor is all get out, its cooked even in such a way you can eat the shells, yes, it's fine to do that. Also, the owner recommended the chicken wings. You may be like, chicken wings? Really? Yes, trust this review, wow. So so so tender and juicy and FLAVORFUL. It's a small restaurant kinda out of the way. Family run. True local place. You won't be disappointed. The owner is so so sweet and it was a great last dinner in the great city of Porto.

I thoroughly enjoyed eating at this quaint and “off the beaten path” restaurant in Porto! My server was so friendly, and gave honest recommendations which I gladly accepted. The food was so flavorful and the ambience perfect. I would have eaten there again before I left, but didn’t allow myself the time. I highly recommend this delicious restaurant when visiting Porto!
The staff is incredibly nice and friendly! Extremely friendly atmosphere and the most pleasant Malu. We will be back again!
Such a good place with tasty food, good wine and personal who speak English. Big choice of national food and Portuguese wine etc.
Great food, waay above average. True Tapas, "small plates." Perhaps the best "Hot Wings" that I've ever enjoyed. Humorously, the waitperson felt it necessary to tell us they were very spicy. they were excellent, yes. extra spicy, no. For you new to Portugal, I believe you'll discover typical Portuguese food does not have a lot of spice (including salt). But I digress. This place is great, great, friendly folks. Do it.

Restaurant that allows you to discover the specialties of Porto (good and less good). 25 euros per person with several small dishes (about 10) and a bottle of wine. Very filling, we did not manage to finish everything.Very friendly and smiling waitress. I recommend to discover the Portuguese culture.
