"More than a food staple, rissol is a symbol of the popular culture in Portugal. The half moon-shaped savory snack is everywhere, from bakeries to restaurants, and it inspired Alexandra and Louis Druesne to open this French-inflected vintage-looking venue overlooking the charming Jardim de São Lázaro. After stints at fine dining restaurants in Paris (where they met), the couple elevated the beloved delicacy using organic flour and ingredients from the best producers in the country for the fillings. Traditional flavors include beef and fish, alongside more adventurous takes, like Thai green curry or truffles. Beyond rissóis, they also serve a delicious tomato brothy rice, french fries, salads, and other accompaniments." - Rafael Tonon

A last minute find and delicious. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and the menu is different and interesting. We chose a few rissoles, the rissole pitta, a small portion of fries and the jalapeño pitta. Everything is homemade and freshly prepared, and the salad especially was fresh and crunchy. It’s really good value and tasty- I’d recommend and there’s plenty to try next time that we didn’t have this time.

The food is amazing, and the service is top-notch! No joke, the vegan chili sin carne is hands down the best I’ve ever had. I might actually cry if I don't get more. This restaurant is an absolute must for everyone – vegans, foodies, and anyone who enjoys deliciousness. Highly recommended!

This was one of the two best meals I had during my trip to Porto. It's not on the typical tourist radar, and as much as I'd like to keep this gem a secret, I have to share it. The dish in the photo resembles a sandwich or burger, and it's incredibly delicious. Additionally, the chef is both charming and gracious. You can see him tidily making your meal which adds trust and transparency that your food is clean and made impeccable. 👌✅

This place is vibe. Recommend sitting behind the chef table. You can just enjoy watching him making the dishes whilst enjoying your food and glass of wine. Honestly, the concept and the atmosphere are a win! Really happy for this discovery, I highly recommend everyone going and experiencing.

Amazing food, the best tomato rice and soups! The chef and the serves are very nice, definitely recommend. The photo isn’t the best because I can never take a photo before starting to eat, which probably is a good sign, but believe me when I tell you the presentation of the food is also always beautiful.

Really great lunch place. It was a first time we tried Rissois and this place is THE place to try them. Freshly made and warm. With great options for stuffing (also vegetarian options). The staff are very friendly and helpful.

So happy I found this place, the veal rissois and green curry was the best, even my vegan wife was blown away. The truffle and chirozo were good as well. The pickled vegetables were perfect and the tomato rice was a hit with my kid which is often hit or miss. Came back the next day and ordered their sandwich which takes the Rissois to the next level.

If I had to recommend one spot in whole Porto I would recommend this restaurant. It was perfect!! Food and service were amazing. We sat at the kitchen and the experience was incredible.
