4.8 / 5.0(2,318 reviews)

Absolutely fabulous restaurant that excels at steak preparation . I started with the couvert, simple but great, for my main I ordered the sirloin steak for one with sweet potato’s . I had two glasses of red wine and before I left I had an espresso . The steak was perfectly prepared and seasoned and quite delicious , please be advised sirloin is a very tasty cut but slightly tougher than other steaks know your steak before you order. The restaurant was cozy and warm and the service was perfect. This place is a must during your visit to Porto. Highly recommend making a reservation before going. We did not have reservations but luckily were able to get a table because we showed up right before opening and we told them we would be done by 7pm, however they never rushed us out of there and the service and food was the best we had in Porto! Such an incredible experience. Highly recommend their steaks and octopus and the red wine selections! Phenomenal service and staff!!!! We came here for a very long lunch! The food was fabulous and service was second to none! Amazing! We all shared the tapas and then we shared the steak for 2 (amongst 4!) plus some sides and had leftovers! Ask for some Porto Grapa, it won’t disappoint!

For us it was the best restaurant in town. Super nice service who gave us a lot of attention. Steak was great quality and the sauces are home made and fantastic. Ask for help discovering the right meat for you. We choose the 1.2 kg cowboy steak. Thanks for treating us so amazingly!

Very happy we left the Riverside and headed to Bota Bora, the service was phenomenal and the steak one of the best we've had (even our 3 year old agreed!) Great sangria, very reasonable price given the quality of the food. A great experience in Porto and highly recommend. We hope to be back when we are next in Porto and I'm sure our daughter will be happy to see her new friend (our server) again.
