We read very favorable reviews of this restaurant, it was clearly a local favorite and we could…read morewalk to it from where we stayed on vacation. 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. The chicken is well seasoned and very juicy; enough so that you know why it's So popular. 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 am delighted that I tried this place. Upon walking in, there is a diner countertop that one can…read moresit at and basically watch the kitchen prepare your food. There is also dining upstairs. As I came in on my own I opted for the one open stool at the counter. The restaurant was busy on a Monday early evening, about 5:30-6:00 pm-ish, with what felt like mostly locals. They have a regular menu, a daily menu printed on the counter top, and they also do Take-Away. Their specialty is definitely their roasted chicken, which one can see cooking on spits at the entrance of the restatruant, conjuring such amazing smells that truly open up the appetite. The staff is sweet and did their best to serve me, with my English/Spanish and no Portugese self. Everything I ate was top-tier without being fancy. Simple and flavorful. I ordered a 1/2 chicken (way too much for me by myself) that came with batatas (french fries- which I didnt love), so I ordered a side of white rice and a salad, as well as what I would call a carafe of wine (it was definitely either two very healthy pours or 3 regular ones). All in all, I paid $15 euros, which I thought was a great value for all that I was given and how tasty everything was.

The first time we came to Tito's we ate outside. This time with the fog rolling in and a big party…read moreof Seven we opted to indoors. The stag lead by ande couldn't have been more accommodating. Good English too! And of course I was sporting my orange alternate FC Porto jersey and they happen to be wearing them tonight against.... That team in Lisboa... what's their name??? Not sure if that gave us any brownie points or not but they were wonderful. The food came in waves starting with jumbo prawns then calamari so get we got a second order, more octopus salad the sea bass finally grilled octopus with veg. Everyone commented how fresh and very well presented and cooked the food was. We felt happy and relieved as this was our recommendation. So a party of 3 on a summer night alfresco, or a party of 7 in their lovely dining hall... you can't go wrong! A primeira vez que viemos ao Tito's comemos no exterior. Desta vez, com o nevoeiro a aproximar-se e um grande grupo de sete pessoas, optámos por ficar dentro de casa. O guia de veados ande não poderia ter sido mais complacente. E também um bom inglês! E, claro, eu estava a usar a minha camisola laranja alternativa do FC Porto, que por acaso vai usá-la esta noite contra .... Aquela equipa de Lisboa... como é que se chama??? Não tenho a certeza se isso nos deu alguns pontos de brownie ou não mas eles eram maravilhosos. A comida veio em ondas, começando com camarões jumbo, depois lulas, por isso pedimos uma segunda encomenda, mais salada de polvo, robalo e finalmente polvo grelhado com legumes. Toda a gente comentou como a comida era fresca e muito bem apresentada e cozinhada. Sentimo-nos felizes e aliviados porque esta era a nossa recomendação. Assim, uma festa de 3 pessoas numa noite de verão ao ar livre, ou uma festa de 7 pessoas na sua adorável sala de jantar... não há como errar!

I love the authenticity of this wonderful restaurant. The freshest fish I have ever had was put on…read morethe bbq and grilled right there in front of us. And wow was it delicious. 2 glasses of fantastic Vino Verde, a delicious tuna salad, the grilled sea bass (for 2) l, a large bottle of sparkling water and espresso to finish all for E58 - and did I mention the wonderful service. Go there !

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!

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.
