I had the Bacalhau a Bras, which is a typical codfish of porto. I was expecting a lunch portion, but was served a large portion enough for dinner! No complaints, it was delicious and filling. There is a concern about it being too salty, but they did a wonderful job with preparing the dish as it was perfectly seasoned. I would recommend as it's important to support these small businesses.

Prices are reasonable here. Eating the classic francesinha here is literally like having the…read moreMcDonald's McMuffin Portuguese style. I added egg to mine. Everything here seems kind run-of-the-mill. None of it is bad, but you know you might be here for the francisca or a cheaper meal. If that isn't enough, you are asked to sign a book if you eat a francesinha here too. So, you know it is a classic. I also had a coke, hot tea, walnut ? cake, and orange gelato. The orange water ice cup was described as "sky creme". So I didn't really know what I was getting but I was curious. The white creme is a familiar tasting slightly flavored whip cream.

We got an assortment of plates which were all pretty good. My favorite one was the cuttlefish in the green sauce! What was more special was their wine list. My family was having fun exploring green wine (a first for us) and the waiter let us try a few different ones. We landed on a red wine from the vinho verde region that we drank from a small white bowl. The waiter told us that it was how the red wine was traditionally served and we found it so unique.

The food is sharing style (smaller portions for all to share). It was recommended to order 6 sharing plates for 4 people. Since we weren't too hungry, we ordered 3 sharing plates and 2 sides. The codfish was very tender and perfectly seasoned. The duck rice was also very flavorful. The sweet potatoes were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and balanced with a savory sauce. The Iberian pork was very tender. Of the many choices for food by the river, I would definitely recommend this place!

Not sure what the common practice is. The french fries were tasty as well. We ordered the goat cheese salad and it was a good serving with plenty of cheese and walnuts. Great for sharing.

Make a reservation or expect to wait. We put our name in, and they gave us a time to come back. It was relatively seamless once we actually got our name in and checked back in, but it queues up outside so it can be a bit of a bottleneck getting in and out. The sandwich lived up to the hype. They had chips, olives, and bread out on the table when we sat. All and all - a nice ambiance and place to have the famous sammy.

The meal started off with some complimentary sausages and their homemade sourdough bread that is baked in house and fermented for 48 hours. The crust on the bread was outstanding and went well with the olive oil. I was not too hungry but ordered the pork rind, which were delicious. The ribs came with a potato puree (a bit light, might have been better served as mashed potatoes). Ordered a glass of beer and my waiter offered me a complimentary shot of pacharan--a popular digestif from the Basque region. Excellent and attentive service. I loved the cave like ambiance as well as the food.

Unfortunately, the food fell short, despite the gorgeous presentation, the reason for the 4 star rating. The octopus was fresh, however over cooked.
