OMG!! Most likely the best meal of the trip. We had the soup , Angus, Thai fish curry and apple tart . All were extremely good quality and service was 100%.

Francisco Flores

Amazing food, staff really friendly , the ceviches are just fantastic, the beef was amazing as well . If you can try to reserve beforehand so you do not wait. It can get pretty busy.

Bulutay Güneş

We had the fish soup first. It was tasty. But then Wild Tuna Tataki and Potato Tortilla came and they were amazing. Finally we got the Irish Black Angus Entrecote it was cooked perfectly and delicious

Ponuponas

Wow! You are creating miracles of food. We were expecting something good, but steak , seafood curry and foe gras we even better. It was GREAT ! Thank a lot for a such nice memory from Porto

Johnny Koutiolas

The absolute must in Porto. The owner was super kind and managed to find a spot for us to sit without reservation . Book in advance to avoid waiting. Tataki, shrimp and salmon ceviche were amazing.

Adam Ross

The fish soup was incredible and the mushroom dish was one of the best I've ever had. The mussels were so plump and delicious and had an excellent broth. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough.

Retsetone

Try the mixed Seafood in the cataplana pan & Citrus with textures of yuzu , kumquat, calamansi , lime , lemon and orange for dessert - 10 of 10 for both!

Julie ODonnell

We tried fish soup , tuna tataki , clams n foie gras .... with a bottle of white wine . It’s excellent... service was good, staff friendly n took time to recommend even though the place was packed.

Andreas Cohen

Try the risotto and anything the chef drives. Holistically, the best dining experience I've had so far in Porto. The people here are as close to enlightenment as any Front-of-House staff you'll meet

Тетянка :Р

Omg hands down the best place in Porto! It gives you a real cosy family feeling whilst delighting with a mouthwatering food. Pork cheek/tuna tataki/tortilla/prawns were fantastic

Mark Gourmand

Great, tapas , great service, very enjoyable and affordable wine list. When we finished our meal, we immediately booked for the last evening of our stay. The staff were marvellous

Fábio Oliveira

Easy steps: Get a place at the counter; order a mix of tapas (ask for advice if in doubt); bottle of wine ; enjoy one of the nicest dinner experiences in Porto; sprinkle some Port and dessert ! Enjoy!

Their salmon tartar starter is so good! My family and I also got the seafood curry and it comes with a side of rice . It’s enough to share for two people.

ED

SERIOUS food experience in Porto. The tuna ceviche with cassava chips and caviar and the peanut foam (desert ) were to die for. Would come back over and over again ????

Lai van Beek

Love this place! We had the best lunch ever here and did not want to leave enjoying the sun, nice sangria and amazing (and great looking) food (oysters , tuna tataki and the goat cheese salad )

Cindy Au

Everything we ordered was amazing. Salmon ceviche and the duck is a must. End the night with peanut butter dessert ; it's light, creamy, and crunchy.

Alena

One of the best restaurants in Porto. All food made in place. Fantastic tastes, wine is good. Pricing is very reasonable. Often fully booked , make sure to reserve a table beforehand

Kelly Kearns

The fish soup was delicious to start. We also loved the egg scramble with asparagus and mushrooms , the seafood curry , and the duck . Portions are generous and everything is very reasonably priced!

Scy DV

Incredible food and vibes. Highly recommend the croquettes , chorizo stuffed mushrooms , tuna tartare , mackerel , salmon ceviche , pork cheeks , and the peanut foam

Ro Iannucci

Obsessed! Everything we ordered was delicious — from the fish soup to the shrimp , potato omelette and my husband loved the foie gras . We even ordered dessert . Peanut foam is amazing

Kasper Bertelsen

We did two tapas dishes and two main dishes and I have to say it's the best food experience I had in Porto and probably the best food I had in the past couple of years.

Humaid Binyelaiyel

Great food great service and a great atmosphere the tuna ceviche and the bruschetta and the peanut butter dessert all were amazing

Uma Baron

Amazing food, lovely hostess who worked very hard to get us a table even though it was so packed! She also worked hard to make my friends birthday extra special. Recommend the pork cheek and tortilla

Nastja Ananjina

Mussels in lemongrass sauce and clams Algarve were amazing ???? And sparkling sangria was good too! Totally worth the hype. Make sure to make your reservation 2 days ahead.

Mihnea Miculescu

Tuna Tataki . Tuna toast . Then the duck or the steak . Really nice dinner , just book well ahead or you'll need to queue for a while...

Philip

Just amazing. Don't leave Porto without having dinner here. Friendly staff and best food in town . And really good prices. Loved it.

Su Ho

Everything was perfect. I had the duck , which was super good. My friends had the risotto and salad and the soup also terrific

Alpar Akal

I’ve run out of superlatives to describe this restaurant in terms of taste, service and ambiance. Every customer leaves with a smile. Definetly my candidate for a Micheline Star .

Rob Goedemans

We had the fish soup , tuna , salad with goat cheese and forset fruit , and tortilla de patatas . Everything was wonderful. The coconut-lychee desert was a work of art .

S.M.

Hidden, small place, but excellent menu! High quality and freshness. It was an amazing experience and so freaking tasty.

Noemi Jimenez

The BEST meal we had in Portugal and we ate at some Michelin started restaurants .. this was better. Don’t miss the shrimp and the tuna toast ????????!

Max Gareau

All their seafood is incredible. Special shout-out to their meagre ceviche ; we licked the bowl clean of the sauce. (Pictured, with chips )

Ina G

What a nice and charming restaurant . It was a perfect evening for us. You definitely have to go there (but make sure to make a reservation ).
