We had two huge and tasty franchesinjas and barely could eat them! Our waitress Juliette was very friendly and attentive and took good care of us, thank you Juliette! We came back the next day to the downstairs bakery (they have a wonderful selection of sweet treats there) for cake and orange juice but were a bit dissapointed to have them served on disposable plates. Obviously the bakery is only meant for takeouts.

The food and atmosphere were great. Wine was also very good ! And thank you Anna for your help on the menu and for your excellent service !

The food is very tasty, the service is wonderful, the prices are fair, it’s a must try in Porto. Ana our server was just lovely.

If you go to Porto, this restaurant is a must!  The food, wine, and desserts are unbelievable.  This restaurant doesn't bill itself as a gourmet restaurant,  but they should.  I have traveled to over 50 countries and eaten very expensive meals that couldn't hold a candle to this place. It is out of the tourist zone, so you aren't likely to find anyone other than locals.  However, they are so excited to see foreigners that they will bend over backward to help you.  Additionally,  you will pay the same price as the locals.  We had two main dishes, two glasses of wine, and two fancy desserts for $50. The wait staff is adorable, too. They took their time to help us pick our meals based on our personal preferences, and they paired both the dinner and dessert wines perfectly with each selection.  Our main waitress, Ana, even took the time to give us a detailed history of Port wine and how it helped to launch the region economically. She was very bright, energetic, and genuinely happy to help. In all of my travels, I have never eaten at the same restaurant twice... until now.  This place is the whole package. I give it my highest recommendation!

I had a nice meal there. We ordered 2 chicken breast with vegetable soup and mushrooms soup. Side order was basmati rice, broccoli and carrots. The service was very good and I enjoyed the food. Julia was our waitress. She was great.

The service is exceptional and the food is very good. Juliana was our waitress and she has one of the best smile we have so far in our trip. The rump steak is very tasty. The francesinha was very delicious. It even has it’s own dessert shop and has a lot of selections.

Excellent meal. Service was good and all the food, octopus, sea bass, and spicy shrimp pasta, were all wonderful . We even shared a dessert and bottle of wine. Sophie was very helpful and patient with us on our first day in Porto. Casual setting. We will be back

Wow, this restaurant was incredible start to finish. From the excellent recommendations, to the wonderful service and fantastic prices and breath taking food, this place really went above and beyond. Victoria was our server and had such amazing advice on food and dessert (if you love orange, get the orange lime dessert!) We just arrived into Porto and are already planning on going back, as every single person loved their food (no easy feat with a party our size). Absolutely incredible, only thing I would do different is have our server Victoria order everything for us, because she knows best! 😉

Delicious food, immaculate setting and excellent service. Ate here two nights - both meals were recommended by Guilherme and were amazing

We are here twice for lunch. We enjoyed the hot chili shrimp appetizer and the salted cod cakes. Very tasty. As a main we both had salmon and on our second day I had the shrimp risotto. The idea was a good one just sadly someone had a heavy hand on the salt. The salmon was lovely. My only hesitation to give a higher rating is value for dollar. We found nearly €60 for lunch a bit pricey.

Nice restaurant with cozy atmosphere and decent food for reasonable price. We went there on recommendation from our hotel concierge and was fairly happy with the choice, specially when compared with other walk-in choices
