    Cute little cozy space that sits about 10 people. We really enjoyed the food and especially the portion size. Finally a place where you can get a seafood rice that is actually intended for two people lol. The sangria was delicious!

    Absolute gem of a place. Amazing food, fantastic vibe and really lovely people. Not to be missed! Best food experience we have had in Porto. André and all the staff are extremely kind and attentive and personal. Can’t recommend highly enough!

    I loved every single dish we ordered. My personal favourite is chef's tartare and the dessert, strawberry & yogurt. The downside is that there wasn't much space between tables and there was an unpleasant smell on the day we visited.

    Were just looking for a place to sit while having some time to kill, and accidentally got treated to Michelin-level food by some very friendly guys. I want to taste everything else they have on the menu, so this definitely is a place to come back to. Recommended 100%.

    Best Dining Experience in Porto! Food was incredible. The owner and staff were so friendly and kind. Sit at counter to watch the food prep. Will return for more. Reservations recommended. Will never forget this place!

    The tomato chutney that comes (came today, as the preserve changes frequently) with the craft bread is outrageously good. Very good ceviche and the sea rice also excellent (cooked to the point for Portuguese taste, a little overcooked for mine, but nevertheless very good). Try the corn flakes dessert. Music too loud. And the chef speaks too fast 🙂 while explaining the dishes. Book table in advance.

    Incredible tasting,high quality food close to the sea that will make you want to return to Portugal just for another taste! Fun and charming staff to accompany an exciting plate sharing dining experience. It’s a small place so make sure you check availability for spaces beforehand and make a reservation, it’s definitely worth it!

    Incredible! André and the team work wonders in an intimate, cosy setting. We enjoyed the sardines, salmon civeiche and creamy seafood rice. We will be back!

    Amazing spot very cosy and amazing and talented chef cooks with great advise and delicious starter main dishes. My wife and I recommend it, you MUST go there if you like great seefood and fishes. We took the Bairrada Croquete, slowly cooked and crispy, awesome. Then the daily fish cevice, the balance is so powerful. The Ovos rotos+cod+bell peppers, this dish was my favorite with the potatoes elevating the fish and thym oil. Last and main course the Seeafood creamy rice. You can share all dishes for 2 persons that's perfect. Thank you to the team.

  • 5/5 Simon G. 11 months ago on Google
    We stumbled upon this place as we explored the wider Porto area. Small menu using quality ingredients and everything was delicious. It was great to sit at the bar to talk and watch the team work in the small kitchen area. Probably the best Pisco Sour and Ceviche outside of Lima. Wish we could dine again. Highly recommend a visit.

  • 5/5 Ilse N. 1 year ago on Google
    Exceptional food! Everything was very flavourful. Best seafood rice I have ever eaten and my boyfriend makes rice practically 5 times a week. Best croquetas I have ever eaten and I am from the Netherlands, where the croquetas come from. And the algue butter, and the salmon tartare... all great!! Many thanks André and the team for fitting us in and giving us a great last supper here in Porto. :-)

  • 5/5 Abbey&Rahul R. 1 year ago on Google
    The culinary highlight of our long weekend in Porto! We tried many exceptional seafood dishes served by the passionate team imparting their own ideas on familiar Portuguese and International cuisine. They were Incredibly attentive and made us feel like we were guests in their home. We were sat at the counter watching the food being made which was extra special. We had great conversation with both chefs and left with recommendations for the rest of our holiday!

    It’s very rare that I give a review ( maybe once a year ) but this place deserves one. Why? Well, the service and food are just incredible. I’m sad I’m just a passerby and I don’t get to eat here at least once a week.

    Delicious food, great service and a wonderful and friendly chef/owner. Had fried sardines and a lamb sandwich, both were flawlessly done. Happy to come back again.

  • 5/5 Vincechile 1 year ago on Google
    Located far from touristic Areas of Porto and closed to the beach. Very good and fresh food which seems to be simple when it’s in fact quite elaborated. Influences from Peru. Team is very friendly. So good we went for both lunch and dinner. Will come back without any doubt.

  • 5/5 Firas Al S. 2 years ago on Google
    A new favourite for me! We had a late Saturday lunch at the bar. At first you are welcomed by the friendly staff! They suggested to do the choosing for us from the menu and we put our faith in their hands. Food was a very tasteful mix of new and traditional Portuguese dishes. A really nice and exciting experience given by this team. Thanks!

    Small, make a reservation. The list is short, good for one visit. The size allows close contact with the staff and chef which is excellent. The food is good and creative. The prices are accordingly.
