You get…read morea front row view at the outside tables, and there's a seated section for dinner and a first-come first-served section for drinks and snacks. I got lucky with snagging a snack table as a couple was leaving, and it was just as it was getting dark so I got great photos. There are limited food options with mainly bar food. I got Alheira croquettes and rustic fries, both very good and generous portions. I went with the Altano white wine, which is dry and crisp. The service was slow, mostly because there was only one person servicing all the tables in that section. If you're not in a hurry and don't mind a relaxing pace, then it's a good spot to stop on the way back from crossing the bridge. It's uber touristy though, so be prepared for crowds. Prices were reasonable at least.

Best pastel de nata!…read more Highlights: - Pastel de nata: our walking tour guide recommended it and we liked it better than the shops that specialize in them.

We were searching for a place for dinner and heard a soft, slow guitar strum coming from inside…read more This was exactly what we were looking for. We were seated in the middle of the space and could still head the guitar, adding the perfect ambiance to our meal. The inside, the servers, the table decor; it all reminded us of a local family run spot that's been there for longer than anyone can remember. You could easily see the mix of locals and tourists, causal and formal. Our server took our drinks order (white sangria) and quickly came back with bread and butter. We ordered the seafood soup to share, an order of the mussels and Alheira. All delicious and we couldn't have asked for a better meal for our first night in Porto. Pro Tip: The slower pace of service in Portugal really lets you enjoy your meal and your company, don't be in such a rush - enjoy the moment!

I'm truly confused by the posters here who enjoyed this restaurant. My friend and I ate here after…read morestrolling through Porto and regretted it. I ordered the "fish soup" that was generally tasteless and had tiny bits of fish in it. I also had shrimp in with oil and garlic that tasted...off somehow. My friend tried them and agreed. My friend's mussels were inedible. Others should not frequent this place - it is a tourist trap and the food was terrible to the point of not being edible. My friend and I were genuinely worried we would get food poisoning from our meals.

Well I'm finally trying to get around to writing reviews of all the whole bunch of places we…read morestopped at on our trip to Portugal, now 2 1/2 - 3 months ago... including, notably, a whole *bunch* of places selling pastel de nata, so I could try a whole bunch to compare them all, so I could sound like an insufferable person afterwards :p. The version here, I would say was... good. Tasty dough, but a little floppy. Tasty enough filling, but a bit dimensional and not very brulee'd, like eating a very sweet omelet? Great, cheap espresso, though, but that also seemed to be true all across the city. (Porto was a great city. I miss being on vacation.)

It's an amazing combination of meat, bread, gravy, and happiness. While it something I wish I could eat every day, alas, the thing is probably 2500 calories. Sit at the counter if you can.

The worst food we have eaten in Portugal in week. Overall, I would not recommend you come and eat here.

The tapas are really cheap here compared to at nearby places. They're also tapas sized (unlike…read moreplaces which advertise "tapas" but give you large portions). The meat croquette was decent. The PO sandwich was decent. It was simple: a crusty bun with toppings of decent quality, Calamares was very unfresh & thickly battered. Ironically it was a staff recommendation. I was disappointed; at least it solved the mystery of why it was so cheap. One slice of lemon was also not enough to flavour all the pieces & there was no sauce.

However, the food was so good at Pherrugem that I just couldn't stop myself. Every single tapa came out piping hot and you could absolutely taste the freshness. It's probably not a good thing that it's right next door to my hostel because I'm going to have to exercise tremendous will power to not return. With their low prices, it's going to be really hard to resist. I had 6 tapas and 2 beers and it only cost me €18.50.

Nothing stood out and because I'm writing this several months late, I can't remember if anything was good. It wasn't bad, but honestly at this point I can't remember.

It's been so long, I have very little memory of it other than what I started to write and that didn't look promising.

EVERYONE was speaking English, so that was helpful. Diogo our server was friendly, attentive, and helpful. We will be back again for sure! Eat here!
