    I visited Com Cuore during my December 2024 trip to Porto after hearing about a 100% gluten-free…read morecafe, and I was certainly excited to check this place out, it is located a short walk away from São Bento railway station, although it is rather well-hidden, I ended up having to go up a set of steps from where Apple Maps told me the location was to find it - I do think having some sort of sign on the main street could help people find this place and help increase footfall for sure. They do operate on a cash-only model, which is a big negative for me, they direct people to use a nearby ATM. I usually refuse to pay cash, but after making an effort to find this place and spending some time, I decided to bite the bullet. It was unfortunate that they were cash only as this meant I spent less than I would have done if they had card payments - Come on, who doesn't take cards in 2024? The interior is small and fairly cramped, and the door did seem to lock, it didn't feel too welcoming with people struggling to get inside while I was eating my food. The menu was impressive and extensive, and most of it was priced reasonably, I ended up going for a sandwich which had ham, German sausage and cheese - The value was certainly really good, however. I also ordered some fries however, I never received them. I was not charged for them, so it is likely my waiter wasn't paying attention when taking my order. I noticed how the menu also mentioned a charge for cutlery - which seemed bizarre, and I'd love some clarification on this - surely they can't charge you for something to eat your food within a sit-down cafe? I found my sandwich to be quite dry. While the meats were decent, though not exceptional in quality, they would just slide off the bread, which was strange considering how dry the sandwich itself was. 3* - The prices are affordable, and the gluten-free options are extensive. However, the overall food quality is just okay. Combined with issues like the atmosphere inside the cafe and the fact that it's cash-only, I wouldn't be in a hurry to return if I visit Porto again. That said, I wouldn't be against giving it another try either.

    Was very happy to come across this place in my trip research as it was the only place I was able to…read morefind a gluten free pastel de nata during my trip to Portugal, and was really wanting to try one. I was also grateful for the extensive gluten free options on the menu as a celiac traveler, but was disappointed in the service, atmosphere, and general quality of the food upon my visits. Definitely not somewhere to go when you're in a rush/on your way anywhere timed as well! Was also a bit hard to find as it's up a staircase and on the inside of a plaza compared to the address that appears publicly, but has a cute little outdoor patio once found!

    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 experience in here.Obregado Portugal. When Im back Ill dine in in this resto again and again

    When searching for gluten-free food in Porto, one of the most prolific appearing results was…read moreTasquinha do Bé, so I thought I'd give it a try, it's located a short walk away from River Duoro, and it would certainly be easy to walk past this place, the restaurant is located on R. de Belomonte. The staff are friendly here, and the menu selection is great, I had so many choices, and the majority of the menu was suitable for me to eat as a coeliac - in the end, I decided to go for the fish and chips, wanting to try some seafood while in Portugal, and with the sea being right by, I knew something fresh and tasty was coming, although they did have a selection of other dishes which would certainly interest me if I return to Porto. The prices did seem slightly high for Porto, but the portion sizes and quality did make it appear to be much more value for money, the portion sizes were huge, and both I and my guest were unable to finish our meals. The interior is fairly simple, but it is also comfortable. The tables branded with the Portugal flag were an interesting, memorable touch. There is also a small television which was showing sports. I went for the fish and chips, while no one does this dish like the British, this certainly comes close. The individual components of the dish were good: the fish, the batter, the garlic butter and the fries, and it was also served hot. I also tried some of my guest's food, who ordered the chicken, the chicken was also pretty tasty. I did, however, get the feeling that something was missing from both dishes, that final bit of flare that made a good dish a great one. 4* - Overall, my experience here was good - good food and good service and probably the best choice of gluten-free food for coeliacs in Porto.
