Absolutely outstanding restaurant. The chef creativity and execution of the food was incredible. The service was impeccable, very knowledgeable staff. Daniel was great!

We tried the Scallops, which were divine. We then the octopus which was also very good. These were matched with Sidonio de Sousa sparkling wine. We then had the Sea Bass with clams risotto - this was an absolutely outstanding dish! Wow... Finally we tried the lobster with a delicious risotto as well. These dishes were matched with Insula Chao de Lavas, an outstanding wine, perfectly matching the dishes. Finally, we tried their version of the tiramisu...again what a version! Delicious and matching was the fantastic Vinho Madeira Borges! All in all an excellent dinner! Thank you to all the team..

Calm and warm atmosphere. They’ve used a lovely colour palette in designing the ambient. Truly impressive eye for details from beginning to end. It was a great experience. The chef’s welcome brought out the feeling of a warm hug. The choice of plates thoughtfully picked out to compliment and enhance the decorative dishes. The tastes are pure and familiar. Combined with the presentation and technique they demonstrate the competence and love for great food within the restaurant. The staff was professional and attentive. I’m looking forward to my next visit already.

Every little detail seems thought through. The atmosphere is calm, warm and neat. The food is plated beautifully and every dish looks like it tells a story.

The service is great. Friendly and attentive staff with a obvious attention to detail.

The chef creates the feeling of warmth and calm, which matches the atmosphere, through the food. It is like comfort food done gourmet. Taste wise, the sea bass and the risotto stands out as my favorites of the night. Aesthetically, the Sofia dessert was the most pleasing.

Rio by Paulo André truly delivers quality food and a great experience. Worth every penny.

Tasty, personal dishes while remaining faithful to its locality.
The room crew is perfect, available without being omnipresent. Special mention to the waitress last night. A place outside was even offered to me at the end of the meal so that I could smoke my cigar accompanied by a Cognac, a small blanket given to my wife who was a little cold outside. Little touches that make all the difference.
The chef coming to see you at the end of the meal to find out your point of view on his cooking. The location of the place is also idyllic.
We look forward to coming back to your place during our next stay with my in-laws.

What a way to start off with our first dinner in Porto. Rio by Paulo Andre is truly a culinary gem! The ambience is cute, warm and quaint. The tasting menu is nothing short of phenomenal, with each course offering an amazing blend of flavors and creativity. I loved EVERY course, but my favorite dishes were the venison and sucking pig belly. Every dish provided a unique and delightful surprise that elevated the entire experience. The wine pairing was a perfect match for each course, enhancing the flavors beautifully. The service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and professional from start to finish. The staff made us feel truly special. I highly recommend Rio by Paulo Andre for an unforgettable dining experience. There is no way you can come to Porto and not come here!

Constantino Pares

Full of good will but the result is not up to par unfortunately... Wine list without the slightest indication of vintages, approximate cuisine (foie gras much overcooked and floury). Damage ...

My recent dining experience at Rio was nothing short of exceptional. The meticulous attention to detail in both presentation and selection of tableware spoke volumes of the restaurant's dedication to excellence. The seafood, notably fresh and exquisitely prepared, added a touch of sophistication to every dish. It was truly a memorable culinary journey.
