37 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Porto

“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!“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“We were in Porto for only a few days and happened upon Mamma Mia. Great pizza and pasta and friendly service. We ended up there twice and both times were great! We shared a small pizza and a pasta and we were both impressed. Thank you.Mamma Mia!“

“Wonderful place filled with giant strelitzia plants? The service was a little slow to begin with and it took a while before we got the menus. Then it was all forgiven because the ladies were such sweet and accommodating The food was delightful for the the eye and and mouth, the wines perfect accompanied. We are super satisfied for the whole experience? They also provided us a perfect table for one of the diners who sits in a wheelchair. Thank you for a lovely last supper in Portugal?“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“What a amazing place! Soon to receive a Michelin star!

Incredible team always with a smile on their face and happy to guide you on this amazing journey! It’s really a Gem and deserve all the spotlight at this beautiful city.

Thanks again to all of Gastro’s team. You guys are amazing!“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️The food is delicious “ fish soup & Bacalhau/ Cod fish” ?Fish soup is more of a seafood, it has fish, clams and mussels. It’s a bit salty but still very delicious ? highly recommend to try.The owner of the shops is very friendlyThe cod fish/ Bacalhau is simple but very tasty ????Prices are affordable “ main dish & 1/2fish soup around 16€It’s comfort food, highly recommended to try if you visit Lisbon. ??“

“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.“

“Stopped in for an early light dinner. Service was phenomenal. Shared the steak sandwich focaccia and the ratatouille which completely exceeded our expectations. Cocktails and wine were perfect. Will recommend to all friends travelling to the area.“

“One of the most memorable experiences I have had in a restaurant, in any country. The server was super nice and very patient with us. The food and other dishes were excellent. We had a full menu in a quiet and pretty setting, even late in the afternoon. For everything we had, the menu only cost us €10. A very nice experience. We even got bread, and my sister asked for coffee, which was not charged extra.“

“If you want to eat quality Portuguese food this is your place. The place is small but has a lot of charm. The cod is exquisite and the dishes are hearty.
The impeccable service, the treatment is unbeatable. He removed a plate from us so that it wouldn't get cold on the table, even when we saw that there was a lot of food, he removed one of the plates without a problem.
The key lime pie is delicious.
If I return to Porto I will repeat.“

“Pleasant lunch spot! Fantastic pull pork sandwich with really nice bread and super flavourful meat. It definitely tastes gourmet. Fries are also very well seasoned. Owner/staff are so friendly. Nice lunch option if you are looking for something savoury with substance!“

“Food was very good and excellent (local blue fish and the salad—yumm!).
“Discretionary” tip is not discretionary; it is on the bill (listed clearly), and that is what is charged (10%).
Extra treat at the end of the meal❣️
Love the place, will eat here again.

Wheelchair accessibility: Steps, cannot easily move through with a wheelchair.“

“We have already visited many Michelin restaurants. But this was incredibly good from start to finish. The staff was very friendly, gave a lot of explanation about everything. It was really cool that there was something special with each dish, especially the dish with the blindfold. The combinations of some dishes really exploded in your mouth, so tasty! If you are in Porto, I definitely recommend that you make a reservation here!“

“Very pleasant restaurant, a great atmosphere, we were able to taste dishes accompanied by port which were very well recommended to us. There were 3 of us wanting to share everything, we ended up keeping everything individually because it was so good! Thanks, we’ll be back soon ?“

“Bad weather, so eating inside on the second floor of the hotel. Nice room with quiet atmosphere. Menu was interesting, definitely not for children, though. Very reasonable priced wine list. Attentive service with a sense of humor and the server had excellent English language skills.“

“Impeccable! It's a great word to describe our experience! It's not just a restaurant... it's a place with impeccable service, good wines and excellent dishes! From the environment, to the perfect and unique crockery. Here I pause to appreciate the entire team! They possess impressive knowledge and incredible kindness! We were 3 adults and an 11 month old baby and for the 4 of us it was a perfect experience! Back to talking about the menu: very good! It was a fight to decide which was the best dish! It's such an incredible experience that you lose track of time! It was all very good! Highlight the cordiality and affection of the entire team towards my 11 month old baby! Next time I hope chef Vasco will be there to meet him. I highly recommend it!“

“I visited the restaurant on 06/04/2024.
My girlfriend and I tried the tasting menu and beyond words, I can only say that the food and service are worth every € spent. The choice of dishes and snacks is incredible, and the monkfish dish blew my mind, it's simply magnificent. The pork belly is another dish that exceeded my expectations and the desserts were wonderful.
Looking forward to meeting Gastro and returning to Elemento soon.“

“An address to share, for the summer (very beautiful terrace with a view of the Douro, unfortunately closed) as for the winter, the interior being cozy with tables a little far from the other guests to enjoy the moment. Note a beautiful large round table inside with a view.
Very pretty card, with elements to share, or not! We fell in love with the veal tartare, and the excellent blood orange dessert. Very kind and attentive service.

Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian dishes on the menu“

“We had a lovely New Year's Eve here! The staff was very friendly and very passionate about their cuisine. Atmosphere was very romantic and the food was excellent! Beautiful restaurant with amazing food, great service. Highly recommend!“

“We had an amazing evening at DOP! Thank you for this wonderful experience with delicious food, great wine and a lovely team - special Thanks to Irina with her fantastic Spirit. Thanks to the whole crew which made this evening unforgettable for us!
Vale & “

“Leuk restaurant met veel 'to share' gerechten. 2 keer gegeten. 1 keer helemaal top, 2e keer duurde het wel langer omdat erg druk was en leek er minder controle. Dat was jammer. Bediening bleef wel enorm vriendelijk, dus ik zou zeker weer gaan.

Vegetarian options: Voldoende vega - opties met salade, kaas e.d.“

“One of these days we remembered the Nanda restaurant and the good fish fillets with tomato rice. We haven't been there in years and we're curious to go back. The works in the space really turned out well and the materials and light were beautiful,
There is still a lot of good traditional Portuguese food, and great service too - but unfortunately it is no longer a restaurant for Portuguese people with Portuguese prices as it once was... and on this day we were even surrounded by tourists - as they don't mind paying these prices. And not having house wine was a bitch.“

“It has some good francesinhas.
It's a shame they don't have vegetarian francesinha, which they already serve in many places.
They have other dishes, both meat, fish and even vegetarian.
The service was good.
You need to go early, otherwise the wait might be a little long.“

“Great waiters, good location and live music on the street. We ordered the blood sausage broken eggs, which were spectacular, and the wild boar, which was dry, not recommended. They charged us €5 for the cutlery and the prices were high for the food we tried.“

“Delicious food and friendly, helpful staff. Tasty cheese selection. Beware of the street musicians though, even if you're not paying attention and just enjoying your meal, they'll come up to your table and ask you for money. They even have card terminals, which was quite annoying, especially if you don't like their music. Better tip the waiters!:)“

“- Unfortunately the pizza doesn't taste good at all. Definitely recommended to stay away from it. The pizza base is dry and boring and the toppings tasted bland.

• Facilities are only okay, so the ambience is deducted
• The service was bad-tempered and therefore neither friendly nor unfriendly. Maybe it's because the service doesn't get the tip directly because you pay at the cash register when you leave (collective tip).

+ The pasta is very tasty and highly recommended and according to the menu, some of it is homemade.
The ambience on the bank with a view of the river and the old city railway is very nice.“

“We came here on a recommendation and this place is brilliant! This modern, natural wine bar serves a wide variety of ports and wines and deli food: fresh sandwiches, sharing boards, fish dishes, desserts and coffees. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced- we shared the small meat and cheese board with sourdough bread and it was excellent quality. The server was more than happy to make a tomato sandwich for our little boy which he devoured- juicy, fresh tomatoes and fresh from the oven sourdough. The drinks we ordered- port, white wine and an organic soda for the little one were all delicious. Service was fantastic and we had a great chat about Porto with the lady running the place. Highly recommended and will definitely be back- thanks for a great lunch experience! ?

Kid-friendliness: They were so accommodating with our 6 year old, making him something that wasn't on the menu and happily chatting with him about his favourite movies ?“

“It is so spectacular quality-price that we went to eat 4 consecutive days. Even though there are people on the stairs waiting, it goes pretty fast. It's worth waiting for.

Parking: There is no

Kid-friendliness: Yeah“

“Good food, with a very good and welcoming atmosphere, I was well received and the staff were very attentive, especially the waitress Teresa who was assigned to serve me, the only thing is that the francesinha sauce could have been spicier, otherwise everything was great“

“An excellent restaurant, very fashionable, and therefore it may be difficult for you to access it because the services are full days in advance! But with patience, courtesy and a smile the owner will be able to find you a table, if you anticipate at least a little!
Very beautiful decor, combining modern (polished concrete) and old (workshop furniture and unusual objects) very beautiful dishes. Efficient and fast service, sometimes a little overwhelmed by success, but responds very well to reminders made with a smile.
And finally, fusion cuisine, where Porto classics are revisited with inventiveness, plus Asian (tataki) or Nordic (smoked salmon) offerings.... everything is very tasty, generous in portions. Good wine list. A well-deserved reputation.

Wheelchair accessibility: Pretty good, once you've crossed the threshold, the room is large and easy for an armchair, only the toilets are a little narrow.“

“Crazy!!! We are Spanish. We have been in Porto for several days eating in various places, we have been wasting time since today is our last day. We ate wonderfully, the service was great, and the prices were very low for what we have paid so far. I always recommend it. Important, the place does not have a sign, look carefully.“

“Great experience! We went there by chance, and well, pleasantly surprised! The food was excellent with great discoveries and the service was incredible. The servers were very attentive! Thank you to the whole team for their kindness! We will come back!“
