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.

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!

The focus here is on rotisserie chicken; they have other items but they're not the main event. It's very big inside, 2 stories and even early it's pretty busy. The chicken is well seasoned and very juicy; enough so that you know why it's So popular. Sides I can barely remember , but everything else was good- it's just that you will Always remember that chicken! Other than that, my only other clear memory of that dinner is that it was very reasonably priced. If I were in the area again, I'd return in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.

I am delighted that I tried this place. Upon walking in, there is a diner countertop that one can…read moresit at and basically watch the kitchen prepare your food. There is also dining upstairs. As I came in on my own I opted for the one open stool at the counter. The restaurant was busy on a Monday early evening, about 5:30-6:00 pm-ish, with what felt like mostly locals. They have a regular menu, a daily menu printed on the counter top, and they also do Take-Away. Their specialty is definitely their roasted chicken, which one can see cooking on spits at the entrance of the restatruant, conjuring such amazing smells that truly open up the appetite. The staff is sweet and did their best to serve me, with my English/Spanish and no Portugese self. Everything I ate was top-tier without being fancy. Simple and flavorful. I ordered a 1/2 chicken (way too much for me by myself) that came with batatas (french fries- which I didnt love), so I ordered a side of white rice and a salad, as well as what I would call a carafe of wine (it was definitely either two very healthy pours or 3 regular ones). All in all, I paid $15 euros, which I thought was a great value for all that I was given and how tasty everything was.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here. Highly recommend this place for a delicious meal.read more

Wow, incredible!…read more If you're in Porto, Postigo do Carvao has to be on your list. We were lucky enough to get a table without a reservation for dinner- and it was such a lovely evening. The ambience is relaxed and semi casual. Come with two or with a small group. Service was great, friendly, helpful and attentive. I had a wonderful meal that included Pratinho Polvo Vinegrette (6 e) a delicious appetizer with octopus in a vinaigrette sauce. Super tasty. Naco Especial de vitela (22.5 e) generous portions of tenderloin, made exactly to my liking medium rare. We also got the. Bacalhau com natas ( 16.5 e), A wonderful mixture of cod, fries, potatoes in a very delicious cream sauce. Overall, five star meal, I would definitely wanna come back here again.

We had the cod fish stew and pork chop. The fish is seriously tough - I've never had codfish this chewy before. Portugal is supposed to be famous for cod but I didn't know it's the salted kind. Taste is ok but the fish is inedible. The pork was also pretty tough and the fries that came with it was soggy and limp. Price is average. Service is decent. It seems pretty popular as a local hangout also one that gets recommended a lot to foreign visitors but I find it rather disappointing.

I was focused on the bifanas that Portugal was known for. I skimmed the chalkboard out the door as we passed by and my hunger instincts were right. The restaurant was small and intimate seating was at par with eateries in the area. A lot of musical instruments and trinkets adorn the walls which made up for an interesting gaze fest as we waited for our food. Lunch rush was ongoing so we had to settle being sat at the bar. That's always a plus as we got to witness the buzzing crew efficiently feed the customers. We got 4 kinds of appetizers that our server recommended. They were all good but we liked the casserole baked dish the best. My wife and I shared a rice plate of the bifanas (spicy pork steak) with fries. For drinks, I got a bottled Compal juice while my wife got her afternoon macchiato. Our bill was a grand total of €17. I even corrected them as our bottle of water wasn't included in the chit. Not bad for a hole in the wall tavern. Good food and excellent service.

We had a great server who provided us with recommendations that did not disappoint. Menus were available in multiple languages although the translations were not the best. We recommend their version of beef Wellington (I forget the Portuguese name) as well as the fillets of grilled Sole. The sheep cheese appetizer as well as the legume soup are explosive flavors. Good selection of wines in 1/2 or full size bottles as well as beers and non-alcoholic beverages. Dessert is another pleasure and we shared an almond tart that was absolutely tasty and not overly sweet like typical American desserts. You actually enjoyed the true almond and chocolate flavors that are natural. The prices were extremely reasonable although the exchange rate has a bearing on that.
