The Asparagus risotto had a creamy texture with a not too soft texture. The asparagus added a subtle accompaniement to the cheesy goodness of the risotto. Service was impeccable withh a great wine recommendation. Ambience can only be deacribed as friendly coziness. You MUST stop at Castas e Pratos for a memorable meal. Highly recommended!

We started with olives and the partridge, moorillas and foie Gras ravioli that simply melted in my mouth. For main course I had the black Angus steak with balsamic that was perfect and the balsamic balls were the perfect on top of the mashed potatoes and fun to eat! My friend had the duck and that was delicious as well. The desserts are what initially attracted us here and we could not resist the egg O Ovo that was a whole experience in every bite, you must try! We also had the lave dar and eucalyptus creme Brule that was an amazing marriage of flavors that danced on our palette.

If you're ever have the opportunity to visit Porto, Portugal, you're in for a real treat. Our short…read moretrip to Porto we ate at several very nice places and enjoyed lots of great wine. 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.

We then had a 20 year tawny port that was excellent. It is a very comfortable place and great for couples or groups. Then we did not eat, but saw them preparing a meat and cheese plate. They put so much care into and it looked fabulous. Definitely worth a visit.

Great view and good food.
