This was hands down the best dinner we had during our trip to Portugal. The owner set the tone right away by explaining the highlights of the menu in-depth and providing recommendations based on their specialties. All of the petiscos are homemade, thoughtful, and delicious. The highlights for us were the pumpkin bread with the port wine reduction sauce, the tripe, the sardines, and the chicken and cornbread sausage with chickpeas and a fried egg. Dessert consisted of chocolate cake and “Duoro” egg cake with lemon ice cream, both with excellent port wine pairings. We also took 2 “damas” almond pastries to go and they were fantastic. They aren’t serving breakfast currently, otherwise we would have come back the very next morning. The couple who runs this restaurant are so nice and are clearly very passionate about serving up high quality Portugese food. 10/10 experience.

The food is superb and the owners are actually the people serving and cooking for you. They are amazing people with so much heart and dedication that is noticeable in every single detail. And the food is the perfect choice if you want to try what good Portuguese food is supposed to be. Highly highly recommend it.

Essential dining when in Porto. I thought I knew what good food tasted like until I ate here. I thought I knew how to cook until I ate here. Chef's selection and skills coupled with the expert service from her husband are unrivalled. We were left speechless by the dinner. Michelin where are you?

I had an absolutely exquisite dining experience at this restaurant in Porto. I tried every recommended dish, and each one was a masterpiece. The hosts, Álvaro and Lucia, made us feel like we were guests in their home, giving us their undivided attention and making the entire evening unforgettable. I’m leaving Porto with a big smile, knowing I had the privilege of dining at one of the most heartfelt and welcoming restaurants I’ve ever visited. Truly a gem!

Super super authentic. Husband is the waiter and wife is the chef. Great food and an absolute delight of an experience. We sat out on the patio which is on a pedestrian only space right next to a big green space. It's not the place you would typically think of as good for kids, but if they're adventurous eaters it actually worked out great for us. And as is typical with true Portuguese people, they were great and accommodating of our 3 and 7 year old.

Owned by a lovely couple, this place really makes you feel at home. The way they talk about dishes, ingredients , their stories and of course delicious food make you want to go back again and again.

Just divine. No other words can describe our experience at Dama. Everything was just perfect! To get in ring the bell! Also - bring cash!

The owner is so friendly and pays attention to every details. Even just giving us tissue he removed the first one so we knew it is 100% clean. He had his way to arrange plates so we could have the best dining experience on a small table. Love that He explained every dishes, especially when he talked about the recipes his wife created, it is a place full of love. ❤️ The most important thing of course is that all the food we had was amazing! The pumpkin bread was impressive, we bought an entire roll to go. We will definitely come back to try more things especially the desserts. Thanks for the great food and service. :)

I visited twice during my short stay in Porto. Worth it both times. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The food was amazing. Beautiful little intimate space. Recommend making a reservation for evenings. Cash only. I would go back again if I visit Porto another time.

I was very impressed with this tiny restaurant. I went for lunch. The host is a very sympathetic guy who is very knowledgeable about the food, takes his time to advise you and he is a true gentleman. You can clearly tell that the owners (couple) have passion for their job. The woman who cooks everything was also very kind. I wish I could have come back to try the other options from the menu (especially the desserts) but unfortunately I am heading home!

Really amazing culinary experience. The combination of the rustic bread with the with the even more rustic bread, especially the pumpkin one really made this experience special. The orange juice and hot chocolate were also extremely delicious. And the server was always very kind and helpful in any language. Loved this place and would come back many times again.
