Gruta

We have a Wonderful dinning experience at Gruta last night. From the reservation to the foods and main dinning room atmosphere, everything is great. From Appetizer to main course to deserts, they are presented excellently. The seaweed with fermented butter match well with focaccia. Low temperature cooked Scallop SCALLOP, TUCUPI & TANGERINE are very tender. We order the CARABINEER RICE and FISH MOQUECA. Both are exceeding our expectation. For deserts, we were very full so we ordered the Gelato with wasabi. OMG, the sweet, spicy and tangy complex but smooth gelato are the best one I have ever tasted . The dinning experience at Gruta put a perfect ending to conclude our tours at Porto. We definitely will come back whenever we come back to Porto.

Truly excellent. This was by far our favorite meal of our entire trip. I recommend making a reservation. The food was remarkable, especially what they do with the red shrimp! FANTASTIC!! Staff was incredibly friendly and professional. We had an amazing time, I would highly recommend this place.

We were visiting Porto for a few days and Gruta was so good we ate there twice. The food is innovative without being contrived, resulting in interesting and delicious dishes. The menu is small but perfectly formed with an enough choice for everyone. That is if you like fish as there are no meat options on the menu. There is also an excellent selection of Portuguese wines all reasonably priced. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service friendly and attentive without being in your face. If we were staying longer we’d go a third time.

Dining at Gruta was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The meal began with prawns sautéed with cashews, garlic, and chili. It was a perfectly balanced starter that was both aromatic and full of flavor. For the main course, I enjoyed grilled croaker served with a rich coconut milk and dendê oil sauce, accompanied by basmati rice. Mixing in the cashew nuts and toasted cassava flour added a wonderful texture and depth to each bite. To finish, the wasabi ice cream was a surprising highlight. It was unique, refreshing, and incredibly flavorful. Gruta’s Michelin recognition is clearly well deserved, and reservations are highly recommended to secure a table at this outstanding restaurant. You won't be disappointed.

My daughter had researched this restaurant as a treat before starting the Camino Portuguese. Everything was flawless, from the location, to the friendly, helpful staff and, of course, the delicious food. The plates were perfectly executed and the food was amazing. If I am lucky enough to return to Porto and I will definitely make a bee line back to Gruta!
