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.

Their outside patio was fully booked so we ate inside which was a rare dinner experience: All six of us enjoyed our starters, mains (steak, salmon, and tuna) and sides, and the 2 desserts we shared (cheesecake and drunken cake) - a 100% consensus that it was one of our top meals of all time. The service was unrushed, yet very attentive. The food was so fresh. We highly recommend this great restaurant!

The location is in the historic area yet the restaurant was very modern and comfortable. BTW, the owners also have a flat for rent above the place and it's a decent place to stay, in the old town, not too loud, with old world charm (read as older but kinda coolish)
