The view and service were great and they have outdoor seating. Unfortunately the food was not to our liking with the exception of the osso bucco. The pork ribs with pork rice were really tough and had no flavor other than pork. The shrimp pasta was dry and had no sauce, although it had some flavor in it. It looked great for the photo. My franacisinia sandwich came out like warm along with barely warm fries. I had one a few days ago from A fast casual restaurant in which was much better. The osso bucco was was tender and tasty. Unfortunately, jt was a disappointing meal. The service was EXCELLENT so they get an extra star for that. read more

By far the most child friendly restaurant we've encountered in Portugal. Super engaged staff, friendly, joking, and poly lingual. It was fun listening to or server engage with the couple next to us in Korean. We sat outside with a view of the Douro River across into Gaia, simply beautiful. We ordered the seafood soup, clams, and the lobster rice. The seafood soup and clams didn't last long enough for a picture but I held off on devouring the lobster rice (it was amazing) for just long enough to snap a photo. Honorable mention that we didn't order is the sea bass - they serve it table side after a brief alcohol fire to bring the salt off the skin. Looked amazing and was a popular dish. This is one of the few restaurants where we want to eat more than once on a trip; foregoing novel experiences for known excellence! It's that good! read more

Terreiro - Lobster rice - Seafood Near Me - Porto, 13

You can eat better food elsewhere, but the location is pretty hard to beat. The seafood rice, salt baked fish and the white sangria were the highlights - don't get the shrimp pasta (dry and flavorless). What was off putting was that the waiters pushed hard for tips, kept saying it's optional, but pre-selected a 15% gratuity option - that's on top of a 3% service charge already added on the bill. read more

Nice little restaurant adjacent to the Douro River in Porto. Everyone in our party of four were happy with their food overall and the staff was very friendly and took great care of us throughout the meal. Considering the great location, reasonable prices and ambiance of their outdoor patio would definitely recommend this business if you are in this area. read more

Great experience. Got there at the tail end of lunch and received excellent service. Soup was delicious. I had bacalau a bras and my husband had the steak. We were both satisfied. Highly recommend. read more

Terreiro - Signage and menu - Seafood Near Me - Porto, 13

Great first dining experience in Portugal! Don't listen to the other negative reviews. We put this place to the test and they came through. We were super jet lagged and slept through our reservations at a different restaurant. We stopped here as it was close to where we were staying. It was busy but they were able to seat us right away at a 2 person table. The staff was super friendly, made great recommendations and was super quick and attentive given how busy they were (8pm on a Sunday). We both had the seafood soup (amazing), split the shrimp with garlic (heavenly) and we shared the shrimp pasta (I was so happy we went shrimp heavy because it was amazing). Great flavor, shrimp was not over cooked and the pasta was cook perfectly. Overall a great dining experience. I will say we saw some people get the fish salad and the whole fish and it also looked amazing. I would definitely come back here in a heartbeat... in-fact I already said I would be craving the shrimp with garlic when I got back to the states. read more

Terreiro - Amazing shrimp with pasta - Seafood Near Me - Porto, 13

This place is amazing, yes it's a long wait so if you don't mind it, then grab a seat by the water to enjoy the beautiful view while you wait. After 45 minutes wait around 2 pm we finally got seated outside. We ordered a bottle of wine and seafood stew for 2, baked cod fish, oxtail stew and extra rice. Everything was just so delicious. The seafood stew took 45 minutes to cook but it is so worth it: everything was just so filling and it was more than enough for 4 people. Generous portion of the cod fish. The bill came under $100 euros. read more

Excellent restaurant, attentive service, pleasant view of the river, outstanding quality of food.

Such a fun place for our first meal in Porto. We had two types of verde wine. Both were tasty and crisp. Oysters are amazing (and very large!!) Bread (which is grilled so more like a crostini) and salad was great to start. For the main course we enjoyed the shellfish rice (more like a stew/jumbalaya) and the octopus. Delicious and highly recommend. Food was probably an /10. Service 10/10 with our server Joao. Ambiance was a 10/10 hands down. Patio overlooks the water and it's gorgeous. We stayed through sunset and were fortunate enough to see the pretty lights and enjoy the live music. This place is a must if you are in Porto! read more

We come to Porto every summer. We went to Terreiro today for lunch and really loved it. The service could not have been friendlier or more accommodating. The pasta with shrimp? Delish. Clams? Wonderful? Barnacles? Yum. Really good white sangria, a fantastic location, and it all adds up to a big Yes from us. read more

Cyndy's Bottom Line: Excellent food and a view. A great place to have a leisurely lunch or dinner to take in the view, people watch, and enjoy the delicious food. This is what we ate/drank: A pitcher of lemonade. So freshing, with a light natural sweetness. A thirst quencher. The cod fish fritters were excellent. Fried perfectly golden brown. Fish soup was amazing. Hearty and delicious. Grilled octopus with onions, garlic, olives and potatoes. The octopus so tender and nicely salted. The chocolate cake so decadent and divine. There is walnuts and a caramel sauce center. Cafe Americano - good. read more

Honestly one of the most memorable meals while I was in Porto. We were originally going to eat somewhere else and I'm not sure why we decided on not going there anymore but I'm SO glad we didn't. We came cross Terreiro and liked that some of the locals were recommending this spot. You still get the amazing view of the Douro but it's not right by the water like some of the other restaurants. Vegetable soup: very simple, but delicious. Shrimp in garlic sauce: O M G. Sooooo good. Remembering this shrimp dish I ordered another shrimp dish at a different restaurant and was so sad it didn't taste like Terreiro's. Grilled octopus with potatoes: Again, so good. Best octopus dish I've ever had. I don't like octopus dishes. Tried one in Paris for double the price I paid here, only could eat 2 bites of that one. The octopus here was so tender, with the perfect flavors in my mouth. Super affordable and so tasty, with a great view. What more can I ask for?! read more

We had a lovely dinner here. The waitstaff was friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. We shared a mista salad (or server said we didn't need to order 2 of them...much appreciated!), and I had the tiger prawns, which we really could have shared as an entree, they were so big! My poster enjoyed the salted Cod and we both dug into the chocolate cake with caramel! read more

It was an unfortunate experience. It was recommended by our AirBnb. Very long wait for a table but understandable because of no reservation. What was not understandable was the 60 minutes to get food once ordered without waiter returning to explain or ask if we needed anything, nor the completely inedible porterhouse steak, which definitely was not a porterhouse. It was impossible to cut through with a knife or your teeth. We left more than half on the plate. I've never experienced anything like it. The octopus and the shrimp spaghetti that my friends ordered were good. Do not get the steak, however. The service was lacking considerably also. read more

One of my favorite places in all of Portugal. I found this place recommended by a photographer and boy was she right. Location- beautiful setting by the river. Initially worried it was a pure tourist spot but the food was so amazing that I don't even care. We sat inside but it overlooked the river. It was perfect. We were warm and still able to enjoy the views. Service- fast and attentive Food- mind blowing! Seriously ordered wayyy to much, but it was worth it. vegetable soup- how something so simple can be so delicious salted codfish croquettes- what Portugal is known for so you better order it shrimp au garlic- finger licking good cod- amazing! seabass- this was even better than the cod! They come and debone your fish for you. I wish I had someone at home who would do that for me. Let me tell you we ordered all of this and had no leftovers. It was so delicious! I think we actually ordered more, but I ate it so fast the pictures I have of this meal are of empty plates so I cant tell. Go and order everything on the menu. Take your time and enjoy it. It will be one of the best meals of your life. read more

This place is special! Amazing location and fantastic staff. I had the octopus and it was incredible. Having travelled to Greece before I've had my fair share of octopus, and let me tell you, this is some of the best I've ever had! Also the sea bass is just as good! read more

What a great place. And our waitress Susana was fantastic. We tried the clams the mini Francesinha, the shellfish rice, grilled octopus , açorca, and a selection desserts. Susana helped me select a great wine and her English was impeccable. read more

I am writing this review as me and my wife are waiting for our food (yes, service is bad and we have been sitting for awhile waiting for our main meal). The appetizer we had was the clam which was okay (though a bit salty). We then had the fish soup which literally tasted no better than a canned Campbell soup. .... After half an hour of waiting in between the food servings, our main meal of Octopus stew just arrived. All I can say is that the food is disappointing. Instead of having an "octopus with beans" .... The food that was served to was was actually "beans with a few slices of Octopus". We have been driving around Portugal from Porto to Lisbon with multiple stops in small towns along the way. During our 2 weeks of eating restaurant food, I can honestly say this was the restaurant with the worst service and worst food we had. read more

To be in Porto was wonderful, but to be in Porto at the restaurant Terreiro eating dinner overlooking the Douro River was fantastic! The fish was fresh, simply prepared and delish. Be sure to have the grilled Prawns (huge and tasty!). My boyfriend, who loves octopus, described the braised octopus with onions peppers and olives as the very best he ever had! The seating was a little tight but manageable. Service was attentive and the staff so friendly. I highly recommend eating here. read more

Terreiro - Braised octopus with potatoes, peppers and onions. - Seafood Near Me - Porto, 13

It's a locals place right near the water where there are all the tourist places are. Our hotel recommended this place for lunch when we got in. We sat outside and watched people walk by and taking in the view. We had the vegetable soup (simple) shrimps in garlic/tomato sauce and the clams. Both dishes were out of this world, but we came back another day for the shrimps. So good. Ask for bread and dip it in the extra sauce. Yum! This is where the locals eat. read more

Excellent food and service on the river in Porto. Started with the lobster salad (Russo style) and steamed clams, both excellent, followed by seafood rice (huge portions), grilled tiger prawns and fried cod, all wonderful. Tasty chocolate caramel cake to finish. Reasonably priced food and wine. read more

We ate at this place the day we arrived in Porto. It was a rainy eve, but the food, atmosphere and the people made this a highlight. The green wine was suggested to eat with our seafood soup, cod, shrimp and greens. The food was rich and flavorful and the view spectacular! read more

Although this review is written on 5/29/16, the meal we enjoyed at Terreiro was on Saturday, May 15. Terreiro was suggested to us by our hotel, Pestana Porto for our last meal in Porto before departing for Lisbon. We were seated on the upper floor which was very comfortable, although our server, Teresa, had to go up and down a flight of stairs multiple times. She was very dedicated and our service was excellent. For our first course, my wife had vegetable soup and I had the seafood soup. Both were hot and delicious. For the main entree, my wife had the Sole (Dourado)) and I had the Gilt Head Bream (Linguado). Teresa deboned the fish at our table. The seafood was outstanding. A bottle of Vinho Verde (our new-found portuguese white wine) accompanied our meal. We would highly recommend Terreiro for a fantastic dinner in Porto. Our total bill came to about 67 Euro. read more

Small family run restaurant cO-located near the Douro River in the historic (yet kinda touristy) river section of Porto. This place is so NOT a tourist trap. Friendly, helpful staff.. it was too cold to sit outside but would have loved to do so on a warmer day. Start w/beyond delicious garlic flat bread and olives along with a glass of local wine. We both had the oh so fresh Linguado (sole) with accompanying fresh veggies and a beautiful green salad. Service was timely and friendly. Very well priced and enjoyable. Tables spaced appropriately for COVID purposes. read more

Fabulous seafood lunch. Try the seafood with bread stew--excellent. Very nice folks who run the restaurant.

The best seafood I've ever eaten hands down. Sit in the window seat. Order everything. Seriously just go!!!

This restaurant was recommended to us by the concierge at our hotel who is a Porto native. The fact that we had researched the same establishment ahead of time confirmed our desire to have a meal here. We had 9:30pm reservations and our table was waiting for us. We had the grilled tiger prawns and the Octopus lagareiro. While the tiger prawns were delicious, the octopus was the most amazing dish we have had! This method of cooking the octopus rendered it very tender with a very delicate texture. I have had octopus grilled, in sushi, roasted, and fried. THIS was the most unique and delicious octopus dish I have ever had the fortune to taste. If you're a foodie, you MUST have this!! read more

My wife and I each ordered shrimp risotto. We received 1 shrimp each. The waiter confirmed that this was typical. I had to ask the manager to come over, and he acknowledged that the chef had four large shrimps on the side, still in the kitchen, waiting to be served. Within 10 seconds, those prepared shrimp were brought to the table. BUT REALLY!! You have to ask for the shrimp to be served, a d if you are not assertive, you don't get? THERE IS SOMETHING FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG WITH THIS ETHOS. Take advantage of the customers ,so long as they don't complain? Wrong! That is not the way to host customers. read more

Omg. This place was so good I was in tears. Yes I was hungry and I am partial to fresh seafood but their shellfish rice and sea snails salad were to die for. And our waiter whose name we don't remember (ugh rude sorry) was amazing. Not only his English was flawless he didn't try to upsell and actually stopped us from ordering more dishes because apparently we ordered too much already. I am already thinking about going back to Porto just to eat the two dishes again and try more new ones. read more

We were recommended Terreiro from our Airbnb host and couldn't have been more impressed. We asked our waiter what the best dishes were and everything he recommended was fantastic. I got the Octopus and it was a top 3 meal I've ever had. On top of that you get a great view of the river. This restaurant is underrated based on its reviews, a definite 5/5. read more
