4.5 / 5.0(4,224 reviews)
My husband and I came here eight years ago and couldn’t wait to return to Porto to sit at the same table overlooking the Douro River. The fried fish skins were as crispy and delicious as we remembered, especially with a cold glass of vinho verde. The salad was fresh and tasty, and we finished with a yummy ice cream topped with pumpkin cream…ahh, so satisfying! Our waitress was very sweet. We’ll definitely be back before we head home. Unbeatable food, wine, dessert and views 😍😍😍 Went early and was very lucky to get a table with GORGEOUS riverside sunset views!!! Food was fantastic, flavourful "Codfish Loin with Porto-style cod tripes", elegant "Crispy dough with sweet egg ice cream", and of course a wonderful glass of port wine because that's what I came to Porto for! Considering the quality of the food, very friendly service and overall memorable experience, definitely worth the price I paid, cannot wait to come back again 😘👍🏻 Such a cosy restaurant tucked right atbthr end of the Riveria. At night the views are awesome. The food here is also great. Local Wine is nice and smooth.

A small restaurant, on top of the Douro River with limited seating inside and out, if you have wait it’s worth it in my opinion, staff welcoming and friendly, atmosphere is excellent it’s busy but you don’t feel rushed, menu is limited with local dishes emphasis is Cod, we chose Fresh Cod for mains which was expertly cooked, served with soft onion and layered crispy potato, cold have eaten another portion it was that good, wine list is Portuguese and is reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

THE VIEWS. THE FOOD. THR SERVICE. Run, don’t walk. Sit a while, ask what’s good. Drink and eat and soak it in. Such a gem, took my baby & 4 adults. Would go everyday if I found it sooner. Incredible food, great price.
