    Well-prepared homemade cuisine in a pleasant ambiance and with very good treatment. It is true that the dish was somewhat oily, but I enjoyed it a lot and that makes me feel bad when I reject exquisite fried food from my mother. I was looking forward to trying a dessert.

    Geheimtipp. Also ehrlich! Es sind kaum Touristen da, viele Einheimische in toller Atmosphäre. Sehr gutes, leckeres Essen - siehe Bilder. Die Portionen groß genug für einen angemessenen Preis. Total nettes Personal mit wertvollen Tipps was zum Beispiel Auswahl des Weins anbetrifft. Kann das Restaurant nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen. Lasst es euch schmecken.

    Great food! The veggie burger was a 10! I'd definitely would go to this place again and again. Desserts were to die for. Service was excellent as well. The owner arranged a table outside for us since I had my dog with me. Very nice!

    Bestes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis und super leckeres Essen! Es kann zwar etwas dauern bis man bedient wird und die Speisen serviert werden aber das warten lohnt sich definitiv. Wir waren jetzt zwei Jahre in Folge in Porto und auch in diesem Restaurant. Absolut zu empfehlen!

    Been traveling across Europe with my friends and this is by far one of the best restaurants I have been to! The food is immaculate and the brothers are so welcoming & hospitable. Every meal we ate there was amazing but what I loved most was the seafood rice and the chocolate cake with ice cream! I can’t wait to visit again!

    Great little restaurant in Porto. I was welcomed by very friendly staff who made the dinner more enjoyable. I went twice during my visit in Porto and the food was superb especially considering it's really cheap. If you want a good meal and a good price this is definitely the place in Porto

    Wow! Unglaublich gemütliches, modernes und detailliert designates Restaurant. Sehr spannende Karte mit traditionellen Gerichten mit modernen Einflüssen. Die beiden Brüder haben ein Gespür für wahnsinnig gutes Essen und sympathische Gastgeberschaft. Die Preise sind unglaublich gut für diese herausragende Küche.

    What a lovely place with excellent service! I had the baked Brie and the sea bass. The fish was perfectly grilled. I can’t wait to go back.

    Fantastic friendly restaurant. We ate here twice during a 4 day stay in Porto. The food was tasty, the portions were huge and the price was very reasonable. To top this the staff were very friendly and polite. A 2 course meal for 2 with a bottle of wine was 51€. The home made mint ice cream is a must and the Francesinha was an experience to be tried! Highly recommended.

    We came across this restaurant on our first evening in town and ended up going there every evening during our stay in Porto. The menu has small changes every day so there’s something new to try out, the food is extremely tasty and well prepared, the owners who personally serve their guests, are very welcoming. It can be very busy, so you have to expect a wait sometimes, but it’s definitely worth it. Highly recommend!

    This restaurant is absolutely amazing! The food, the owners, the service, and the overall ambiance are all perfect and I am so happy to have found such a gem during my first trip to Portugal.

    One of the best places in the north side of Porto. A little pricier, but well worth it. Excellent quality and great variety. There is always a vegetarian option, and they even added one (off menu) for us (vegetables a Bras). This is a nice establishment. Come over to be treated without spending a ton. One of my favorite places in Porto.

    This was not the best introduction to Portuguese food or service. We were ushered to a seat fairly quickly by the manager. We waited 15 minutes for menus, which we took from the bar. 3 members of staff were busy setting up and totally ignored us. No eye contact, no drinks offered, nothing. After 20 minutes, the manager came over and asked us what we wanted from the menu. No apologies, so we decide to have coffee as we didn’t have the confidence that our lunch would arrive in reasonable time. We were told to leave as “ … this is a restaurant, not a cafe! “ Terrible service and made to feel a burden.

    I enjoyed dinner here three times during a five-week stay in Porto, and the restaurant consistently provided a great atmosphere, delicious food, generous portions, amazing desserts and wines, and friendly staff who speak multiple languages and are incredibly welcoming and kind. Highly recommend!

    One of the best restaurant we tested in Porto. Traditional Portuguese cuisine with new dishes every day but not only (great burgers also). We went there for 3 consecutive dinner. Dessert are awesome also!!! Try the tiramisu or crumble. Good wine list at reasonable price. An amazing white porto also.

    Quite a surprise. Modern looking interior with absolutely amazing service and good food. Good price/value ratio. Also good desserts (could be maybe a bit more portuguese, but nevertheless great.
