The trees boggle my mind and I enjoy sitting here with a beer, a good book, thinking about how the trees are so huge on top of a roof... The 360 degree view is stunning with Torre dos Clérigos on one side, University of Porto, and old buildings on the remainder. Kids, dogs, old and young will enjoy this stop. Don't expect to get an especially warm welcome here. After coming here an endless amount of times, I have yet to receive warmth. Thankfully this place is so cool my ego is quick to recover. :) A must do to grab alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks with a view.

Another server recommended a great red wine. We had charcuterie (waitress recommended ordering it for just one person), a boilna sandwich, drunk ham and a Portuguese potato and egg omelette.

I reviewed Buhle May 8, 2011…read more Buhle came very highly recommended via TripAdvisor and Wallpaper Magazine. What mainly attracted me to this restaurant was their mixology bar. Since there is much sameness amongst the bars here, I hoped for something different and inspiring. Close to the end of Avenida da Boavista, Buhle overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. If you look past the trees, you will see this panoramic view. Buhle's boxy exterior hides the design gems found inside, but more on that later. Entering the restaurant is slightly difficult because you don't know whether to pull or push (puxe means pull in Portuguese). The hostess stand with its imposing reservation book is immediately inside. Reservations are strongly recommended - phone or email is sufficient. I was very pleased with their prompt attention to my email reservation request. Since I was early, that asked if I wanted a cocktail. Upon saying yes, I was taken to their cocktail seating area. This area features low tables and complementing low chairs. If you're facing the hostess stand, the well stocked bar and wine racks are to your left, the sushi bar with flat screen television showing a live kitchen feed is directly behind. Restrooms are behind the sushi bar. To your right is the outdoor patio area with similar seating and tables as the cocktail area. There is a hallway with additional seating that connects to the main dining area. I started with the Morning Glory cocktail. It features gin, ginger compote, Grand Marnier, and lemon juice. It was a bit sweet for me with a slight spicy finish. You'll notice it's slightly cloudy probably from the ginger compote. Since I was here to dine the drink cost €6, instead of €8 (bar only). Complimentary chips came with the drink also. Each table has a mixology menu, cha` (tea) menu, and Hendricks Gin menu. The bar is where Buhle first did not live up to my expectations. For me, mixology engenders a sense of classic cocktails, fine ingredients, bar seating, a bartender's personality visible within his concoctions, bitters. There was no bar seating, most bottles sat behind glass doors, and my empty martini glass sat at table for 10+ minutes. You can look, but don't touch. Likewise, it's a pleasure when you discover bars that feature classic cocktails from Jerry Thomas or the Savoy Cocktail Book. If you're into mixology, this is probably not the ideal bar. Dinner was next. Once my dining companion arrived we were escorted to our dining table. Though seated next to their ticketing station, I never felt distracted. We ordered: Foie Gras & Douro Moscatel Terrine with Passion Fruit Vinaigrette (€13), Pork Curry & Vegetable Spring Rolls with Sweet Chili Sauce (€7.5), Buhle Sushi Mix 10 pc (€13), and the White Bean Pastry with Almond Ice Cream and Egg Custard (€6.50). We were upcharged for the focaccia, bread, carrots with olive oil (€2.50 x 2 because we were two individuals not because we ordered two servings) and water (which they kept pouring without us asking). Be aware of the upcharges in Europe. If something appears on your table and you didn't order it, you will be charged if you eat it. Finally, their online Wok menu does not appear in paper form. The spring rolls featured slightly chewy dough with some crunch. The pork was well spiced, not overpowering. The sweet chili sauce was a great complement. Fatty, country, savory, layered flavors, creamy with solidity, complicated. This was my pictured foie gras with melão (melon) and thin crunchy bread. It was wonderful and I want more. This made my evening. The Buhle Mix 10 piece features 4 California rolls, 2 gambas, 2 thinly sliced salmon wrapped around cream cheese topped with strawberries, tuna, salmon, and other fruitful delights. The salmon and strawberry was fabulous, the mystery yellow fruit sweet with some bitter, and the tuna sumptuous. The white bean pastry had a bonus apple flavor inside. The toasted slivered almonds were a nice touch. The almond ice cream was a bit sweet and lacking a distinct almond flavor. Once dinner was finished, I could reflect on my remaining Buhle thoughts. Overall, it was merely a nice experience. It proved affordable at €57 total though it caters toward Porto's upperclass. The foie gras was outstanding, the sushi platter excellent (the best buy), but other elements were forgettable.

But by far our favorite evening was spent on the banks of the Duro river, drinking wine and ordering small plates of food at Wine Quay Bar. We got really lucky to get a primo spot overlooking the Douro at the wine bar; it was picture perfect. With the help of the server we ordered a Douro Valley wine - a dry, fruity white. It was tastilicious. This place had an all appetizer menu -- like tapas in Spain. We had olives, a sublime soft sheep's milk cheese, bread, sardines in tomato sauce and pigs feet ... indescribably succulent, all of it. This place is a no-brainer for some of the most amazing food and wine in one of the most beautiful places one could enjoy them.

During the evening and night it's a super cool place where you can try to learn kizomba, drink good alcohol, have fun with friends. The only small thing is - there's not too much space (you need to hurry to get sit places if you need them).

Note: Be aware that some shops and restaurants will close mid afternoon and open back up in the evening (this one closes at 3:30p and opens back up at: 6:30p) because they stay open late most nights! The staff are bi-lingual in many languages which makes for a nice diverse group of diners! The restaurant isn't large and fills up quickly..always a good sign of a local place you want to visit! The food was AMAZING! We had a meat/cheese plate; fried Octopus patties; grilled prawns in garlic sauce; Cod Croquettes and some sausage is a flaky type of pastry! We ordered Sangria as well! The Sangria..White and Rose was not too sweet..but deceivingly delicious..so we had a few glasses and were a lil tipsy throughout the meal! The bill was more than reasonable for all that we had that night! I loved how everyone was friendly in the restaurant and gave us other cool places to visit while in Porto!
