We ordered a few tapas to share: croquets de alheira and croquets de codfish. Both were so good! We loved it. The star of the show though was the pork neck tacos! They were so delicious! So much flavor and perfect. I got the lemonade and it was just okay. Nothing special. Overall, would 100% recommend this place! Make a reservation if you can but if you can't, would still try to stop by!

Definitely recommend making a reservation, I found it impressive that the hostess's reservation system was essentially a notebook and pen in this digital age. We did not see much of our waiter, since the restaurant was extremely busy and filled up with diners. Standouts: 1. Razor clams - I'll always get these if I see it on the menu. Cooked in this incredible garlic sauce. 2. Fish and seafood cataplana - delicious, tomato-forward seafood stew; I liked the version that we had the night before more which came with rice and was more filling. But this was basically a never-ending bowl of fish, clams, mussels, and shrimp. Add to that the fact that the restaurant like most in Porto did not have A/C and I emerged feeling like I had been sitting in a sauna. Skipped dessert; I had my eye on the Weeel! froyo truck parked outside. One more nit - the metal chairs are not comfortable at all for sitting a long time in.

We had an amazing dinner at Flow…read more It was a bit difficult to notice from the street but once inside, the space is a visual delight. The space is divided in three, with an indoor dining area, an enclosed terrace and a bar area. We sat in the enclosed terrace on a lovely night and our service was excellent. Some creative and well-crafted cocktails, classics, and an excellent wine menu are offered. The bartender was awesome and even made a special request Lemon Drop for my wife. The food was equally creative and delicious. As beautiful to look at as well as to consume! Foie Gras was unexpectedly presented and delivered on flavor. As a note, it paired perfectly with their Last Night Bourbon cocktail! Salmon Civiche was fresh and complex with layers of flavors. Wild Boar Lasagna was fantastic, and the Beetroot, Pistachio and Straciatella Ravioli was delicious but probably not for everyone. I loved it, but it was loaded with whole Pistachios, and raw beetroot slices. Odd texture, but still good. Portions were huge and no room for dessert. We would probably share a couple plates on a return visit, but will definitely be back!

We were able to snag a reservation without really knowing what to expect and we definitely were not anticipating this level of elegance! We ended up having a three hour dinner because everything felt so comfortable, peaceful, and lovely. I cannot recommend the sliders with quail eggs on top enough. My husband had the Iberian pork and really enjoyed it, and I absolutely loved my octopus. It was probably some of the best I have ever had. For dessert we had cheesecake and it was just as divine. If you want a dinner you won't forget anytime soon, definitely check out this place.

Nice vibes...but beware…read more I have dined at Grigio during the multiple times I have visited Porto. I typically order the same thing and it usually ranges from decent to very good. However, I forgot that they are tricky. Upon being seated, they will bring a small basket of bread (three half slices of toast and a couple oversized thin crackers). They call this "Couvert". They will stand there with the bread and say something like "I have some bread for you" or "Would you like some bread?" They do not mention the charge of €3.50, but it is on the menu to order. But typically, you have yet to look at the menu to see it on there by the time it is presented to you. So who knows how many people have been fooled by this. Instead of letting people order a starter if they want, they are brought this bread by default. During my most recent visit, I noticed a couple who picked up a tip left on their table because they were unaware of the charge when they got their final bill. I will most likely never dine there again. But let this be a warning to those visiting Porto who decide to dine there. The pizza is good, but there is better in the area. My review is heavily weighted towards a 3 due to how they conduct their business.

Apego Restaurante was my first dining experience in Porto on my week and a half trip to Portugal. I…read morehad no expectations, really, other than the food being a slight twist on traditional Portuguese fare. Well, let me tell you. I had an outstanding meal. The street Apego is on doesn't look like much, especially at night with all the stores closed. Just keep walking. The restaurant itself is somewhat small, fitting about 20 people inside, with a banquet along one wall and traditional tables up against the other. The guy running front of house was very sweet and kind, providing wine recommendations and explaining each dish as they came out. Oh yeah, the price was nice too. Couvert: This was the most delicious couvert I've ever had. It was a pumpkin spread with cream cheese and pomegranates. It paired nicely with the bread and was incredibly light. More room for the rest of dinner! Appetizer: I had the blood sausage with pear and bean purée. I learned that the blood sausage was made in house by the chef. I could eat this dish all day, between the wonderful flavors and perfect texture differences. A real winner. Entree: I worry about large pieces of fish served on a plate. Usually, they're too big and dense and too... fishy. Not this sea bass. I loved that it was wrapped in cabbage, giving it a little crunch. The mashed potatoes were also great, because who doesn't love mashed potatoes?! Dessert: The guy running front of house recommended the orange ice cream dessert. He said it was his favorite. I trusted him. It was amazing. I loved everything about the dessert- from the orange zest, to the olive oil drizzled on the plate, to the nut brittle throughout the ice cream. Just incredible. Between the couvert, appetizer, entree, dessert, and glass of wine, I spent about €33, which was well worth the money. If you're in Porto, make a reservation and go to Apego.

This cute restaurant was in a little alley close to the main streets so it's pretty easy to find. It's always packed full of people. The staff is very attentive. They even have blankets to keep you warm if you're sitting outside. I recommend this place if you're in the area!
