Very good little restaurant 20 minutes walk from the city center, which I highly recommend. Daily special at €8 with main course, drink, coffee!

The food is very good but the service is terrible. 25 minutes waiting for him to take our order, with heat and without a drink.

A bit basic so if you're not fussy with food and don't want to spend too much, then it's a good place to go. We went for the World Discovery museum just next to it, and we needed a place to eat afterwards so ended up here. Didn't regret it as it's good value for money, but wouldn't go here a second time (there's only so many restaurants you can try out on holiday...)

Food based on potatoes. Be it entrecosto, bacallau,... Gas grill next to the tables, you will be smoked with the smell of grill until you change your clothes. Mara's attention was great, the rest were disappointed

Great food and out of the tourist area. We were surrounded by locals which was a nice change of scenery
I gave this place 5 stars for the authenticity of the experience. A man grills the food on a BBQ in front of the patio. We must have come on an off day as the the lady and man (presumably the owners) were in a running argument throughout our meal. Suddenly the lady arrived at our table with two plates of food. We tried to explain that we had not ordered yet, until we realized she had brought us exactly what we had intended to order! Since we were not in a rush, lunch was a relaxing and entertaining experience. Our dishes of chicken and turkey, heavy on carbs, were tasty and filling. I would recommend this place over something more geared to tourists.

Casa Mara in Porto is a true gem! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. The positive karma and lovely vibe of this place are truly infectious.
As of June 14, 2024, Casa Mara in Porto is a true gem! The owner and his wife run the café themselves, and their English is at a very basic tourist level. You’ll often find yourself communicating with gestures, which adds to the charm. Just remember to bring cash, as they don’t accept credit cards.

Their coffee is simply delightful – rich, aromatic, and brewed to perfection. It’s clear that they put a lot of love and care into every cup. The staff are friendly and attentive, always ready with a smile and a great recommendation. Whether you’re there for a quick coffee or to relax for a while, Casa Mara provides a cozy and inviting space that’s perfect for any occasion.
Thank you, Casa Mara, for creating such a local warm wonderful place.

This place shouldn't be open, Mara is an ill-tempered hustler who serves customers sternly, the poor mother does what she can and is friendly, but the food is terrible, there's nothing Portuguese about it, it's time to get away from here.

At the end of a steep, narrow street almost at the Bouro is the "CASA MARA" where you can get grilled fish and the tasty "Super Bock" beer! Very down to earth!
