    Pretty good! The restaurant is located inside the Sao Bento train station to the left as you walk…read morein from the tiled entrance. 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.

    I found this place on Google Maps when we were looking for a dinner spot. It was packed and we made…read moreit just on time because there were 2 seats open at the bar! 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!

    Amazing fine dining experience!…read more * * * EXPERIENCE * * * It was a rainy night, we uber'd there and the entrance barely had any light on and it was a bit hard to find. Once we walked in, they helped us take care of our coats and brought to our seat immediately. All the servers we encountered were extremely nice, they were funny too and had a lot of interesting conversations. Each dish they brought over they explained in details what the ingredients were, why they were serving in such ways etc. We also got wine pairing, our sommelier was very knowledgeable and patient, especially since we had very little knowledge about Portuguese wine he was patient to explain details to us. Not to mention there wasn't one wine that I didn't find fascinating. Wine lovers heaven. We chose the "Portugalidade" menu. * * * FOOD * * * Tomato Soup with Cheese: A- Super refreshing, this combination was surprisingly tasty, the cheese neutralized the tartness from the tomato, yet you still feel the tomato freshness back of your tongue. Mussel Flan: A Hard to describe the taste, it was wonderful - I could taste tomato and cucumber, and there was real mussel inside. Very refreshing again. Croquette: A- The crab meat used was very fresh, not very salty which I enjoyed. Ham with Melon: A The ham was soft, not too salty as some Spanish prosciutto/ham tastes, with the wafer biscuit, wonderful combination. The presentation was beautiful. Pigeon Meat: B+ A bit gamey, not my favorite but big contrast with the dishes before. Dessert Cracker: A This was served with chocolate moose wrapping foie gras, the sweetness blends with the gaminess of foie gras, perfect pairing with Port wine to bring out the berries flavor. Squid: A Stuffed with potato and nuts, the squid meat was super soft, so tasty, for a person who loves fishy food this was perfect. Sting Ray: A It was served with some herbs, tasted a bit like sea bass, the herbs helped bring out the fishy taste, and I enjoyed the soup even more - herby fishy such a nice blend. Lobster Risotto: B It's a bit spicy with creaminess, big piece of lobster, one thing I wasn't impressed was that some of the rice was a bit hard, a bit undercooked or was it the style? Cabbage with Beets and Beans sauce: A Can't believe such a simple dish had so much complexity! The beans was the star, super crunchy on outside and smush-y inside, cabbage was super fresh. Pork: A+ This piece of pork upper leg meat was combined with chips, clams and french fries, we were told to eat in one bite and I was speechless - it absorbed all the soup underneath with so much pork taste, chips and fries were crunchy and overall there was so much complexity. "Keep it as a surprise": A+ I'm not going to reveal what's used in this dish, you just have to go try, our servers kept it secret what we were about to eat and it instantly reminded me of something unique.... just try it, just do. Pineapple Guava Sorbet with Raspberry and cream: A Perfect way to end the night after the super complex dish above, cleaned my palate right after, super refreshing. Oh man I love this place, it truly showed the beauty of Portuguese ingredients, wonderful wines and Portuguese people hospitality.

    We were so excited to try this Michelin star restaurant and it was by far one of the best dining…read moreexperiences we've ever had. To start the restaurant itself is so intimate and unique being set in an old Portuguese house gave it a really amazing vibe. The staff were so friendly and took us on an culinary journey explaining each course in detail and attending to any needs we may have. We decided to have the chefs tasting which came with two firsts two entrees and dessert along with a wine paring done by such a knowledgeable sommelier. Before we even got into our actual chefs tasting we were given two dishes off the menu to start a cold vegetable soup and two eggs that were divine. We then began our tasting which words can't even do justice to the flavors and joy that were packed into each bite. We started with a unique stewed codfish in beans. The fish was so tender and the beans brought a different and delicious element to the dish. Next we had the amberjack fish in a savory hot broth that just melted in your mouth with the fish being served to finish cooking when combined with the broth making each bite on levels. Third we had the turbot with coriander in a bivalve sauce that was so fresh and such a wonderful combination of sea food flavors. Our final dish was the bisaro pork which was just so rich and succulent and such a great treat as it is native to the land. We were then given a tasty little pallet cleanser before our dessert. We had the raspberry rose lychee that was a mixture of delicious fruity flavors to cap off the meal along with one bonus dessert a blueberry pastry marshmallow and chocolate that added one last treat to the night. I can't say enough about the experience they provided us for the night and would highly recommend that you make reservation and enjoy the culinary experience that o paparico has to offer!
