    It was a bit hard to find healthy and delicious places to eat in Porto, but this place rocked! The service was very nice. I sat outside with my dog and they were super sweet and attentive. The tuna salad was perfect! Light and fresh. I had a mushroom pastry that I give it a 10! and I had this gluten free, low sugar carrot coconut cake that was amazing. Very different than a regular carrot cake from the US. This was light and healthy. They also sell organic products.

    Great place! The ladies are super nice and welcoming, they recommended 2 traditional dishes to try and both were amazing! It’s located in the middle of the Flores street, which is a must to visit. If you sit outside with the sun, is a pedestrian street so you can enjoy the day. All products were high quality. the food was amazingly good! Ask for the olive bread!

    Strange little place. You're surrounded by cans of fish, hundreds... you pick a can and they serve it to you on a plate. Or you choose the same on a menu). Quirky idea, we enjoyed the experience. Bit disappointed by the cheese, I was expecting something other than Cheddar, being that I was in Portugal, but the crackers were nice.

    Lovely little place on a pedestrian street in the centre of Porto. Not really a restaurant, since they don't have a kitchen, but a fantastic place that offers tastings of local food and wine. Perfect for a small bite while walking around the city, it offers cured meats, cheeses, canned fish, sandwiches and salads, and some very good wines and beers to wash it all down. The owners are kind and will gladly make conversation ( he speaks multiple languages). They have some tables outside to enjoy the summer sun.

    Great little convenience store slash coffee shop, slash breakfast place with the sweetest Portuguese lady running it. Coffee quality was top notch and the wife lover her tea and homemade cake as well.

    Sweet little bar. Good local beers and wines. Few snacks. And the staff only speaks Portugese (and some Spanish) so polish your Portuguese 👍

    This place is so lovely! Sun shines on the terrace until 6pm. Yes it is in a rather touristy area, but that’s because they own this establishment for ten years. The owner is the sweetest man, and quite a polyglot! He speaks 4 languages and is so kind. Let him talk you through the local products they have, simple plates of cheeses and sardines. I really enjoyed it 😚

    We only stopped here for coffee and tea but apparently they do lunches and dinners as well as selling some can foods, cheese and other package foods. It’s a cute and cool concept store. The lady is friendly and warm. Location is great as in the shopping center and very busy.

    We opted for the wine tasting and cheese pairing menu, and it was a delightful combination that created a very nice experience for us. I would recommend here!🍷

    “Kitchen is closed we can’t serve cheese.” Seriously?!!! With a showcase full of cheese! If you can open a jar of olives and serve it, if you can open a bag of chips and serve it, then you can take a piece of cheese put it on a plate with a knife and crackers and serve it!!! Like who says, “ the kitchen is closed we can’t serve cheese”?!!??!! Then in good portuguese style they complain they don’t make money!!! Of course you don’t! I almost got up to go serve the damn cheese!! I wasn’t the only one there that was pissed with this! It’s ridiculous!

    Really nice place to visit and grabe some lunch! The spot connects two concepts - small market and café. You can not only buy some interesting souvenirs, but also try typical products. What's more, the personal was kind and helpful. I will recommend the sandwich with Azores cheese. I believe it was number 14 in menu.

    What a gem! Great local products and tinned fish but also an extensive fresh menu! Sara, the owner/chef, was extremely helpful in guiding us to the warmed cheese with bread and mushroom, walnut salad. Delicious pastes de nata and coffee too. With cute outdoor tables so you can relax and watch the activity go by. This place has it all!

    It's a shop for canned foods and local products with kitchen, all their goods are very tasty and of high quality. However the service is not good, they forget us after ordering and we had to remind twice. To eat one can of sardines and a platter of cheese we waited almost 45 min. Please improve.

    Lovely deli and eatery. Very friendly & knowledgeable staff. We never ate in but visited several times to purchase lunch items to go with the wines / ports including some delicious creamy cheeses, meats and various tins of sardines (teriyaki is a must!) and so many others I’d of tried had we the time in Porto

    The place is cute, the service was not the fastest, but our waiter was very nice. However the sandwiches we had were the saddest I have ever seen or tasted. The ham and cheese sandwich was literally 1 tiny slice of ham and 1 cheese between 2 sad looking dry white bread. My 12year old nephew prepares sandwiches like this. They could surely do much better with all the amazing ingredients they have available. We left very disappointed. Based on the other comments it is probably better to get only the tapas or platters with some wine here.

    Lovely choice of meats and cheeses, caringly explained. Good sandwich options. We also chose the trio of ports which I recommend as those were explained to us as well and we're very cleverly paired with a snack for each of the ports. All round we were very well looked after and it was a great experience.

    Great shop where you can try the canned food with a glass of Porto wine!

  • 4/5 L L. 1 year ago on Google
    I like the “mercearia” concept that combines grocery store with restaurant. I went there to try the canned fish delicacies that is so foreign a concept to Americans (we usually think canned fish are just not as good as freshly cooked ones in restaurants). I’m happy to report that the Portuguese canned sardine and tuna are as good as freshly grilled ones I tried before, but with a different flavor profile. They also have cheese, cured meat and dessert, which I really liked. The staff were friendly and accommodating. And if you have an odd dollar bill, ping it on the wall (an ongoing inside joke with the staff).

    A bit unconventional, this review is about one of their owners, Joana. She went out of her way for me while traveling and noticing something unique in her shop, totally outside the scope of her business in tinned fish, she made good on an offer, that by all accounts, was a long shot and something she didn’t have to go out of her way to do. It tells me this shop is run by good folks. While I didn’t eat there, the place was always packed and the menu looked amazing! Great location and excellent for people watching!

  • 2/5 Sofia F. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is nice but the service is too slow. We waited almost 1 hour for some cured meat and we went away before receiving it. Don't go there if you want to eat something while visiting the city center.

  • 5/5 Maria Livia C. 2 years ago on Google
    We stopped here for dinner when all other restaurants turned us down without a reservation. And I'm so glad we ended up at Mercearia Flores! For 2 not extremely hungry people we had 2 platters, a glass of red wine and a local stout beer. The bill came to €38 which we thought was more than reasonable. A big shout out to the staff, who was lovely to chat with that evening! Thank you!

    Really good recommendation and selection. The owner was really kind and passionate about her work a nice Discovery will come again

  • 5/5 Layla De L. 11 months ago on Google
    An absolute find in Porto. The tasting menu comes with some sample pairings that were new and they took the time to explain the process to us. It was a wonderful hour. Don’t be put off by the size of the market, it’s worth a stop.

  • 5/5 Stuart L. 2 years ago on Google
    Had lunch there twice. Great food including local meat and cheese plates, delicious veal or mushroom tarts, and a very nice shiitake and walnut salad. Nice generous pour of vino verde as well. Great spot and recommended for a light and healthy meal.

    Good for a drink while listening to buskers on this cool little street.

  • 5/5 Gordon N. 6 months ago on Google
    Excellent bread, olive oil, cheese & charcuterie plate

  • 5/5 Emily C. 2 years ago on Google
