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!

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.

The focus here is on rotisserie chicken; they have other items but they're not the main event. It's very big inside, 2 stories and even early it's pretty busy.

Sides I can barely remember , but everything else was good- it's just that you will Always remember that chicken! Other than that, my only other clear memory of that dinner is that it was very reasonably priced. If I were in the area again, I'd return in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.

I didn't make reservations for my first choice in town thinking I could walk in and be seated since it was only me-wrong! Heed all the warnings that reservations are recommended in Porto. So between shopping and exploring I ran out of time and needed to head to the station. Thought there had to be some options close to Campanhã station. There are a few Churrasqueiras in the area and for some reason I chose this one. When you walk in you can smell the enticing aroma of the grilled meat. I saw chicken, sausage, meats on the grill. A very simple set up with a bar in front and seating in back. I chose the Linguisa as it seemed to be the quickest. Excellent! They have this hot oil sauce that you can use for dipping which takes it to another level. There was a gentleman next me that was having a stew dish that looked good so I asked what it was. It was chicken (he pointed to his neck so I'm thinking Giblets stew) but we couldn't determine what between my English and my bartender's Portuguese & it was an off menu item. He gave me a sample and it was delicious! The Superbock was cold and cheap. Sardines looked really good also-next time. They found an English menu for me and were very accommodating. A hidden gem and definitely a local's spot. Right across the street from the station, If you have a little time before your train departs don't miss this chance.....

The food was outstanding and the value was very good for the quantity and quality of the food served. We were originally going to order 2 entrees but our waiter said that it was too much food. We decided to split an order but our server said this would still be too much for 2 people. We ended up sharing a half order of pork cutlets and it was plenty of food. The pork cutlets were nicely grilled, tender and moist. With the pork cutlets and an order of fries there was more than enough food for the 2 of us. I'm glad the waiter helped us with the ordering. It was a great start to our vacation. We would highly recommend a stop here for a great meal with good service at a reasonable price.
