We were able to snag a reservation without really knowing what to expect and we definitely were not anticipating this level of elegance! We ended up having a three hour dinner because everything felt so comfortable, peaceful, and lovely. I cannot recommend the sliders with quail eggs on top enough. My husband had the Iberian pork and really enjoyed it, and I absolutely loved my octopus. It was probably some of the best I have ever had. For dessert we had cheesecake and it was just as divine.

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.

So much flavor and perfect. I got the lemonade and it was just okay. Nothing special. Overall, would 100% recommend this place!

Multiple tables around us were sat and had completed their meals while we were still waiting for ours. We asked the staff 3 times to check on the status of the food and each time they said they would but then didn't provide an update. At one point, I asked the hostess to check on the food and she said "you'd be better off asking the kitchen". Finally, our waitress had the manager come to the table, at the time our food came out and he gave no reason other than "sometimes food takes time". The steaks did not even come out looking appetizing or as ordered, one was gray. We ended up leaving without eating. Would not recommend.

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.

Also, tortillas are not pita bread, or an acceptable substitute for it. (When I asked what kind of bread the falafel wrap would come with, the waitress called it 'the kind of bread you get at McDonalds'. I was at least glad that did not turn out to be true.) I did enjoy the texture and sunny green flavor of the falafel balls, and ended up dipping it in my friend's tzatziki meant for her shawarma, just to get some extra flavor in there I was missing from the dips.

Nothing was bad, and the prices were absolutely outstanding! The food wasn't typical portugese, which is a nice break from the constant portugese standard fare which is served throughout Porto and the country. It is instead this creative, french-ified, Portugese fare that will never bore you, but may not be absolutely stunning at every turn. However there will be moments when you are stunned. The service was unique and interesting - it was also personal, but you can't call it fancy or polished. I liked it better the way it was, but if you're going with your fancy grandma she might be disappointed. The wines are really good and well priced, though we might have had too much, which is always a problem I have in Portugal. They have great recommendations, or you can just buy bottles. My favorite dish was the over sized gnocchi - i've never seen anything like it in my life. The vegetable tartare with an egg yolk was also great. I liked it all, but some things didn't hit as hard as others. We might be back, we'll definitely recommend. Don't expect a michelin starred dining experience, but also don't expect michelin starred prices.
