I need to preface this by saying that we were in Porto during the airshow and Festa de São João. I can't imagine the pressure that puts on a staff with how much traffic is going by. On the 23rd, we both ordered the squid ink pasta. The waiter apologized that it was taking too long. It didn't seem long to us. We just ordered more Super Bock and waited an incredibly reasonable amount of time given the holiday and the meal. We were pleased. We just knew that when our food arrived, that when our food would arrive that it would be amazing. Your next question might be, how did two tourist know the meal would be so good? We ate there the day before! It was that good both days! Amazing food. Amazing staff. Amazing location. read more

Impar Flores - Squid ink pasta with shrimp. - Portuguese Near Me - Porto, 13

They say when you're trying to figure out where to eat in a foreign country.. you choose the one with lots of people. I must've walked by this place a couple of times before deciding I wanted to check it out on my trip in Porto. Best decision ever! They are known for seafood in porto. I was able to try the cod risotto and a glass of wine (naturally in Europe) I'm still dreaming of the risotto to this day! This cute restaurant was in a little alley close to the main streets so it's pretty easy to find. It's always packed full of people. The staff is very attentive. They even have blankets to keep you warm if you're sitting outside. I recommend this place if you're in the area! read more

Arrived in Porto around 7 pm and asked our hotel clerk a restaurant nearby that didn't need a reservation. He recommended Impar Flores and it was just a good 7 minute casual walk from our hotel. All the tables were full when we got there around 730 pm and so had to wait a good 10 mins at the bar before we got seated. Service- for a Saturday night, the place was busy and the staff was cordial and friendly. Kudos to this one waiter/manager who got us seated who was extremely friendly (photo attached). 5 stars Food- we got the prawns tempura as an appetizer based on Yelp reviews. It's a little different than Japanese tempura in that the batter around the prawn wasn't crisped but a bit soft in texture. The green dipping sauce I can't quite describe it but worked well with the tempura. As a first bite, we enjoyed it. 4.5 stars My wife had the salada de salmao (salmon salad). It was in a bowl, nicely plated with generous amount of thin salmon along with avocado. I didn't try it but wife enjoyed her salad. As for me, I got the naco de vazia c vinho de Porto. (Sirloin steak with port wine). It included a small salad and fries that reminded me of In N Out fries. The steak tasted great and the sauce had a nice gravy taste but very subtle with the port wine. I enjoyed it. 5 stars. The check came in a book and you can pay cash or credit card which we chose card. Overall, it was a great first meal at Porto. Would come back in the future. read more

Really enjoyed this restaurant. It has an energetic vibe with both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was very accommodating as I arrived without a reservation. Highly recommend the shrimp tempura! It's the best batter I've ever tasted on this kind of appetizer. The steak was a bit tough tho, that was my only neg. Would definitely return. Oh and prices were reasonable! read more

We walked by and saw this place was busy and decided wanted to grab dinner here. Emanuel was outstanding as he was incredibly friendly and helpful in helping us get an outside seat even though they were packed. For appetizer we ordered the tuna tartare, beef carpaccio, and cheese plate and for dinner got the octopus. Tuna tartare was outstanding and super fresh and full of flavor, beef carpaccio was good and cheese was plate was good and tbh too much cheese for us. The octopus was also good. Out of the 3 octopus we had in Porto this was third only because it needed some sauce to tie everything in. Great location with being out in a busy street to people watch and outstanding service especially because of Emanuel! read more

Impar Flores - A wonderful pork dish with potatoes, salad & oranges! - Portuguese Near Me - Porto, 13

AMAZING FOOD. IMPECCABLE SERVICE. OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE OVERALL. We are very particular foodies and this is my favorite restaurant in Porto. We have been in Porto three years straight, and we have visited this restaurant at least 9 times thus far. My favorite dish is the Duck Magret and my husband loves the sirloin. Service and food are impeccable. Shanay was our server. He was not only very attentive, but he was extremely informative as well. He provided us several suggestions of other activities to visit while we are in Porto, including a great jazz bar. Vasco is the manager, and is not only very attentive and customer service focused, but very good with meal and wine suggestions. Everything was amazing. My husband and I will be vacationing summers in Portugal and will definitely make this our regular stop! read more

Came here for lunch. It was exactly what I needed. I ordered the "Linguine nero with prawns" which I was absolutely craving and it did not disappoint. To drink, I had the azur (?) white wine which was just okay. My partner had some beef with fries which was overall okay, not the best but definitely not the worst. I was just so happy about my pasta that I was craving; it really hit the spot though it was on the smaller side for how hungry I was. The service was great. We sat outside, the weather was perfect, the people watching lovely. I'll be back read more

Amazing food and service. A cute little upscale but not stuffy restaurant. Best meal I had in Porto! I love octopus as it isn't the easiest to cook but my risotto with it was tender Lucious and perfect. My mom had the tuna and it tasted like meet perfectly cook but still pink the way tuna needs to be. Prawns are a must super good pasta as well. I don't like desserts but even these ones are a must. Def check this place out! read more

Rain was pouring outside, but the inside was cozy and inviting, perfect for dinner for two. Started with the cod croquettes - they were good, but nothing to rave about. Hubby had duck, which again, was good. My mushroom risotto was great. Fairly priced dinner with drinks. While our original waitress was bored, quiet and lackluster, the male waiter made up in charisma, giving us pointers on bars and other places to visit in Porto. read more

Searching Yelp for a place to grab lunch and this place popped out. It has indoor seating and seating on the patio areas on both sides of the restaurant. It was raining out, so we grabbed a table inside. The service was awesome and our server answered our questions about the menu. We even received recommendations from the guests seated next to us. We ordered a couple starter items and two different pasta dishes. The food was amazing. Also, the beer was cold! Stop by and give them a try. Enjoy! read more

Overall this place was not bad but it was very pricy for very little good risotto. Quality- the mushroom risotto was pretty good. It was Cooked well. The octopus risotto was a bit overcooked and there was not much octopus flavor to it. The duck salad barely had any duck. It was mostly vegetables. Quantity- a bit lacking here. 15 euros per dish is a lot. Atmosphere- I like the outdoor seating a lot. It is very nice. Service- great service here read more

Conveniently located in the Centro Historico area of Porto, this tapas restaurant has a variety of tapas and main entrees depending on what you're in the mood for. We had tapas and tried sardines, sausage, salad, shrimp tempura. I also had a fish soup which was delicious. This was enough for two of us. The server spoke English and menu was also in English. Server was helpful in making recommendations. The prices were in line with other touristy restaurants. read more

The staff was friendly and professional. The ambiance very cute. The location, great. These are all things that lured my fiancé and I into Impar Flores during our 3 day trip to Porto. We ordered the burrata, octopus, and prawn (shrimp) linguini). Everything looked beautiful. We had been walking all day on a tour and gobbled up the tasty meal. About 3 hours after we returned to the Airbnb, I started having terrible stomach cramping. Like contractions that came in waves that debilitated me. For the next 7 hours I switched between scream-vomiting into the toilet and well...the same out of the opposite end. I'm from the US and frantically searched how much a hospital stay in Porto would cost because I was in so much pain. In sum, this beautiful restaurant gave me crippling food poisoning that ruined the rest of the trip. I was bedridden for the next 24 hours and lost an entire day. We had a non-refundable tour scheduled the next day which we missed. After I could stand, I did not have enough energy to walk, far less traverse the hills of Porto. Avoid this restaurant like the hellish food poisoning plague that crippled me for 3 days of a European vacation. Godspeed. read more

Had Thanksgiving there last year. Great spot. Get the port wine sauce steak. Staff was very friendly.

Impar Flores is a small restaurant in a touristy part of Porto, near the Sao Bento train station. We made reservations over the phone and our table was ready when we arrived. There is seating outdoors, but the restaurant is in a high traffic area, which might be distracting. There are several tables indoors and the interior looks quite upscale. We ordered the octopus with potatoes and creamed greens as well as the black linguine with prawns. I really enjoyed the flavor of the black linguine and the sauce. The prawns were perfectly cooked and flavorful. I also enjoyed the octopus. It was crispy on the outside, but soft and tender on the inside. I also enjoyed the soft potatoes. This was one of the better meals I had in Porto. I highly recommend Impar Flores for dinner service. read more

This spot has quite a few risotto dishes if you are looking to have something other than octopus risotto. We had their Arroz de Tamboril e Gambas (monkfish and prawns rice) for 2 people and it was a perfect dish. The rest of their menu looked really good as well, but we were just looking to split a seafood stew, and they delivered! Also I had vinho verde for the first time here - I'm hooked on it. read more

We just had the best meal in a vacation of almost all great meals. Diogo was the most charming server and the monkfish and shrimp rice was over the top. I tried to talk him into giving up the recipe secrets but I think it just may be love. What a wonderful place and so worth a dinner. Appetizers were tuna and octopus and also wonderful. So t miss this one. read more

The food over all is good and the service is good too, definitely recommend to my friend if they travel to Portugal.

Impar was just around the block from our hotel and a close walk to the train station. The restaurant had an indoor and outdoor dining area with a trendy comfortable ambience. We were seated in the rear part of the indoor dining room next to a person dining along. Being seated so close, we could not avoid having a conversation with this young fellow that was visiting Porto from France. Our dinner and wine were very good, but we most of all enjoyed our conversations with our new found friend. Our service was excellent and the attentiveness was wonderful from the entire staff. read more

We were walking by and noticed the dishes on the plates of outside diners and decided to give this restaurant a try, and I'm glad we did. My wife had the shrimp on black pasta that she enjoyed. And I had the octopus with garlic greens and sautéed potatoes that was fantastic. Alda, our server took wonderful care of us. This restaurant serves quality dinners at reasonable prices. read more

We luckily snagged a seat around 8pm. The restaurant is located on this cute pedestrian street and gets booked so keep that in mind. The salmon salad was so refreshing and I appreciated the high quality (and large quantity!) of the smoked salmon. The tempura octopus was unique and soooo soft. I'm used to octopus being a bit rubbery, so I couldn't even believe I was eating octopus! Service was friendly and prices are affordable. Complimentary bread is served as well. read more

Love this place. The location was amazing, down the street from the hotel. The burrata and peppers were very good. Service was amazing

This is a new restaurant that has only been open about 2-3 months. They have great seating outside on both sides so you can see the passers by. There's also inside and bar seating. The have daily food and drink specials so check out the black board posted outside. The service was phenomenal as they explained the menu thoroughly and gave recommendations based on our tastes. We ordered the black pasta with shrimp. It was cooked in a simple sauce of broth, garlic, herbs, and topped with cheese. It was the perfect size for lunch! For dessert we had the mango mousse. It was light and fruity! Perfect for a hot day. The bill came in a cute little container that looked like a book! It was so cute! I'd come back here in a heartbeat! read more

When you're in a beautiful city - you want a beautiful spot to eat outside with this amazing lovely weather. The venue is beautiful.. seating is an indoor and outdoor option. A wide variety of drink options. I settled on a Douro wine (of course) and seafood - specifically a Tuna steak. Food was cooked to perfection. A lively scene outside and the wait staff were so attentive. I highly recommend this place. read more

It was a busy Sunday evening, we were walk ins. After a 15 min wait we were able to secure a table. The staff were attentive and efficient.

Impar Flores was a great find at the top of Rua Flores. Sitting outside allowed us to take in the sights and sounds of the city and provided great people watching. Our group of 5 was able to enjoy students performing musical compositions with traditional Portuguese instruments while we chatted and enjoyed some great food. Our server was fantastic, prices were very reasonable, and the selection of food was good. We enjoyed the chicken wellington, a bottle of good vino verde wine for only 15E, and traditional Porutguese dishes. Great find and worth visiting if you are in the area and looking for a place that offers great food, service, and to enjoy Porto. read more

In a city with a ton of great restaurants, Impar stands out as one of the best. We were referred here by a waiter at a another restaurant on Rua das Flores while trying to find a place that still served lunch at 4 pm. Our experience -- the food, the service, the ambience -- was so great that we came back a second time during our short trip to Porto. We tried the açorda, fish soup, octopus with potatoes, and duck. The octopus was among the best, if not THE best, I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful. The açorda and octopus are musts, though you can't really go wrong with anything on the menu. We walked out of there food-drunk and very happy after both meals. read more
