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.

Get here early as the tables filled up within 15 minutes of opening (seems like they may accept…read morereservations). This was our best meal visiting Portugal five days in. 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.

This place is cash only!!! Fortunately there's ATMs nearby. The address on yelp was incorrect.

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.

This restaurant normally is full of locals and that's a good sign!…read moreThe ambiance is great the owner is very friendly and knows the best for you! The food is great from the appetizer to the dessert! The local meat from Arouca is great and is a must if you like meat! There are sitting places inside and outside! There are parking places nearby, they are payed but the money goes to local charities, so it's a win win situation!

I would not recommend this restaurant to anybody. Arrived at 830pm, our orders were taken at 835pm…read more We ordered from the menu that has meals that are already prepared and were promised to be served in under 10 minutes. 45 minutes later our meals were presented. Because we were in a rush we requested that one meal was to take away as we did not have time. The arroz com carnes was just average, barely any morcela and lots of tough beef. The other meal which was vitela (veal) and potatoes was a very sad meal. The veal was tough and tasteless. Overall 2 awful tasteless and expensive meal. No apologies, just arrogance. If it were possible to give a zero I would.

This was my favorite meal on the whole trip I took to Lisbon, Porto, the Duoro Valley, and Braga,…read morePortugal. We ate at Papas Zaide on a Sunday, and the owner cooked a meal for three very difficult guests - two vegetarians and someone who was allergic to dairy and eggs. She created a basic stew over rice with pseudo-chicken for us vegetarians and made sure all the appetizers were edible by all - including a pseudo olive loaf, along with delicious bread, olives, oranges, and salad, accompanied by honey and olive oil. For the meat eaters, the traditional meal of fall-off-the-bone pork and potatoes hit the spot. The white and red table wine from small, local Duoro Valley wineries was some of the best we had on the whole tour, topped with a moscato for dessert. Our hostess even made a special dessert with no eggs - a kind of trifle with non-egg custard, fruit, jello, and biscuits that was delicious. Highly recommend for down-to-earth home cooking with a very accommodating hostess.

Brilliant! One of the most amazing buffets ever!…read moreIf most of the buffet have some really good dishes or a big amount of regular ones, this has a big amount of fantastic options. Nearly everything in the buffet is of superior quality! An absolute must, along with a great decoration.
