My friend and I were the only people in the restaurant when they first opened for lunch. We ordered the lunch special since we weren't too hungry which included a pea soup(which was delicious), choice of fish or meat(whole wood grilled bass with potatoes and greens, really good) a choice of dessert, coffee and a drink. Guess how much all of that was??? €10!!!!! Our bill came out to €13 with a few drinks added to the bill. The service was great, very attentive and courteous! Great restaurant!

Not to say we didn't have alot of good food, but here each dish received high marks. The chanfana is the local special, so would highly recommend you get that. All of the meat was done well... Crispy outside and fall apart, fork tender on the inside. The staff were also very friendly and personable.

The food is quite good and reasonably priced. We ordered grilled octopus and grilled fish, and fish soup. Our waitress somehow couldn't take our order in time (she was just going around serving other tables). Other than that it was a nice lunch experience.

We thought we wouldn't need a reservation if we showed up in the middle of the day in the middle of…read morethe week, and we were right, but only barely. Our waiter looked inquiringly at us as he seated us in the last available two-seater, and informed us that they served baby pig. He had a bit of an air of thinking we were going to run screaming, but as that was exactly why we had driven up from Coimbra, we simply nodded and specified we wanted a portion for one (by then, we had learned that portions for two are enough to feed four). Either 'one' got lost in translation or single portions of baby pig are simply not available, but the platter that came out totally dwarved our expectations. It was just a mountain of crackly skin and roasted meat, and this peppery sauce in a full teapot, and a plate of fries and a salad. The table next to ours got theirs at the same time, but finished it while we were still goggling and fumbling with our cameras. So, my previous experience with crackly skin roasted pork is all Cantonese, and I have to admit I think Cantonese style is generally better (better than this particular restaurant - can't make a judgment call on all Portuguese style roast pork). This version was a little too chewy for me. However, the flavor of the pork was incredible: really gamy, almost like wild boar. The skin was thick enough to crunch like a ten-layer skin of creme brulee. Honestly, my favorite thing about the experience was dipping their perfect fries in the black pepper pork sauce, which we definitely were not supposed to be doing because we got a LOOK from the waiter. Almost never did any Portuguese waitstaff care one bit about the cultural norms we were unintentionally breaking, but dipping our fries in the pork sauce did it.

So this place showed up on a bunch of lists of places to go in Porto, and for good reason - but I…read morewas having trouble finding the hours, so I figured I'd just get there around noon once I was in Porto, and ask. Around noon, someone did show up briefly to post a sign out front saying they were going to be opening at 12:45 that day (I asked out of curiosity; sounds like it's *often* 12:30, but it's really mostly a "they'll open when they want to" kind of place.) I knew it'd be the sort of place that would fill up immediately, so I got back at 12:30. At least that day, it turns out they still had 1 table left after they sat everyone there before they opened - that last table got claimed at 1, 15 minutes later. It's not a large space, and word is out for good reason. Given it's not a large space, it was also easy for them to have excellent service, which they did. You could tell they were all passionate about the place, and again, for good reason - it was great. Definitely one of the best meals we ate on that trip. Between the two of us, we tried: Complimentary bread and olive oil. One OMG fantastic, wonderful fish soup. The sort of soup you'd want to eat every day if you could. Croquettes that were pretty good. Enjoyable enough, perfectly crispy, a little too salty. Not nearly as memorable as everything else. The seafood rice stew for 2 - a description I always question ("for 2"), but true in this case. It was quite large - and great. Excellent shrimp, which I'm picky about. I'm even pickier about shellfish (clams, mussels, etc). I was expecting to give my wife most of them, but I did *not* do that. They really know how to get and cook the best seafood here. The rice at the top of the stew wasn't anything particular to mention - filling, though, and warming for the drizzly day it'd been that morning. The rice at the *bottom* of the stew, that'd been slowly cooking in hot stew the whole time, was *very good*. :D Wine-wise, they have like a hundred bottles of wine by the whole bottom, some very expensive, some *surprisingly* reasonably priced, but we also didn't need a whole bottle of wine with lunch - by the glass, they just had one red and one white house wine (also solidly priced, though, for a place like this, 6 euros (Be way more than that in the US. I had the red with the stew - solid.) Also a handful of solid-looking ports by the glass, one of which I had with dessert, a reserva tawny for 6.50 euros. After eating the stew, my wife tapped out. I was also pretty full, but I'd spent a lot of effort getting here and I was *gonna* have dessert, darn it. Had what was basically just a whole roasted stewed apple, cooked down until it turned to pudding. Super good. Went really well with a reserva tawny port. This place was great.

This was a low key restaurant located on a small street. The door was closed and locked so I had…read moreto knock before one of the staff came outside. Luckily for us the restaurant was only half full so there was no need to wait (weekday at 3pm). Odd hours for popular restaurants worked out the best for us on this trip. Inside there were just 8 tables so I can see why this place usually sees long lines outside. It was quite cozy. Menu was straightforward with appetizers, seafood and from the country (aka meat). The octopus rice was so good. The strips of sliced octopus were very tender and the flavors of this dish were delicious. It was comforting on that cold and rainy afternoon. The salt crusted seabass selection was delivered the with flare all covered in flames. Our server ignored the flames and proceeded to crack open the salt crust, fillet and debone the fish. Full service! The fish was meaty and perfectly cooked. The side of potatoes and broccoli was addicting and I normally don't eat a lot of potatoes. We skipped dessert but the menu was tempting. Besides the fish service it would've been nice to have a bit more proactive attention from our server. When we requested our check, she pointed out that out that tipping was not included and waited until we completed the transaction. Would return for the food next time in Porto.
