Their specialty is an empanada-style pocket, and it's absolutely delicious--flaky, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. You can tell a lot of care goes into their food. Highly recommend stopping by for a meal that feels both homemade and unique!

The rissois (all of them!), and we tried 6 types, were so so good. We also had the veggie soup, ordered the fries and a salad. As dessert we had the rice pudding, although not Portuguese traditional One cannot ignore how good and creamy it is. We learned from Alexandra they buy the rice from a specialty place thus the quality shines. Ed, our waiter was very nice and professional. Congrats and thank you to Oficina dos Rissois . We will be back !!!

If you want to find a real, "mom and pop" style confeitaria in Porto, Calica definitely fits the…read morebill. I came by on a Friday morning to finally try pastel de nata (egg custard tart pastry) in its proper homeland. They also have larger (and more sugary!) pastries besides the classic dish! My pastel de nata was the standard size and I paired it with a cappuccino, which was a darker color than what I am used to in Italy! The inside of the shop is very "no fuss"/simple. There was a TV circa early 2000s playing Portuguese news---definitely an interesting sight. Come here if you want to try traditional pastries in a place a local would be likely to visit!

Our party of 8 had a mixed experience - ranging from good, to bad, to horrific. Most folks liked…read morethe sea food (expected) and were happy. Vegetarians were completely ignored - out of the 4 things we ordered, we only got one (soggy veggies with no salt), and the staff did not bother to tell us that they didn't even have the eggplant we waited 40 mins for. We promptly left for another restaurant nearby. This was the Good and the Bad part. Now the horrific part was that one person in our group had severe food poisoning after the meal and took 2 days to recover. If you're a vegetarian, don't bother going here. Skip the inedible sardines and the tasteless seafood rice.

It's off the beaten path for tourism but honestly that just adds to the charm. The food was amazing, the seafood exceptionally fresh and the staff were so kind and attentive. We ordered the Turbot and the Octopus, after starting with the local cheese and smoked sausage. Everything was wonderful. Definitely will return if we're lucky enough to return to Porto some day.
