    Nice decor and comfortable atmosphere. The menu is simple and offers ample variety of dishes. The grilled bass (12€) was perfectly seasoned and cooked and was served over sauteed greens with boiled potatoes. The beef steak topped with an egg and served with chips and salad (8.50€) was good. Service was efficient and friendly but the time it took to receive entrees after placing the other was a bit long even though the restaurant was not that busy. The servers do speak English.

    You can often find a market in this square where artisans come to sell their products. It's surrounded by popular bars and cafes and is very close to Porto's main attractions.

    I didn't had many Francesinha In my life... But this one was by far the best. Extremely well cooked, the sauce was on point with all the ingredients you can expect from the dish (I ask to include egg). They have more dishes, typical Portuguese food. The restaurant is gorgeous in a pretty square.. and the service was smiley and naturally sympathetic. Recommended.

    The cod cake was testy. I loved the octopus, it’s tested great and fresh. If I come to Porto again, it’s still in my pocket list.

  • 5/5 José Manuel de Almeida F. 6 years ago on Google • 109 reviews
    The architecture of the building façades. Simply beautiful. A certain regularity of proportions, associated with a rich variety of colours, materials, and decorative details. Also the 17th century palace of Viscondes de Balsemão, where the last king of Sardinia, Carlos Alberto, has resided while living in Porto as an exile, now visitable. As it is the seat of the municipal cultural services. To refer also the barroque blue and white tiles covering the lateral wall of the church of the Carmo Order of christian faithful. Also the monument to the Unknown Soldier. With it's bronze statue of a portuguese soldier as equipped for the trenches warfare of First World War in northern France and Belgium. To delight oneself, depending on the season, in the flowering bushes, flower beds. And blossoming trees of the central garden.

    I happened to stop by the market and my wife bought earrings on saturday. It's on Camino Road of Portugal, where I found it while I was looking for Camino Road. The park has a flea market on the weekend. The name is 'Porto bello Market', which is the same one in Notting Hill, London, England. Hoping it will be as big and famous a market as it is in London.

    The octopus tail was great. Mid range price at ~15-17euros per main dish. Wine starts from ~2euros. Fast service and it is packed with locals.

    I have been there a few times, usually during the weekend. It is a little bit busy but it does not take long to get a table. I went by myself and had the waffle with chicken (my favorite) and a hot chocolate. It never disappoints. The food is really good, the staff is really nice and the restaurant really pretty.

    Wir hatten ein herausragend leckeres Frühstück mit super gutem Service. Schnell wurde uns eine vegetarische Alternative zu unserem Wunschgericht angeboten und unsere Kinder mit allem versorgt, was sie brauchten. Wir kommen definitiv wieder!

    We saw the place walking home from our day trip and were excited about it, until we actually got there to eat. First off, it was way too expensive for the low quality of food. The bread they gave us was alright to start, but they charged something like 5.5 euros for butter or for "entry" as it translated, something the staff couldn't explain to us. The prawns we started with were not properly cleaned and were incredibly under-seasoned, a tough thing to do with something that lives in salt water... The salad we ordered never came. The steak was alright, though slightly under-seasoned, though the greens (turnip greens I think) had salt enough for the entire meal itself. The veal was alright, though the cabbage (which I figured was the vegetable with the dish) was almost mush and tough to taste as the entire dish was almost floating in an oily sauce of sorts. The only saving grace was the 2 euro wine which was awesome and the staff were nice and quick. Though overall the experience left us really disappointed and wishing we had looked at reviews before deciding on going or not.

    (Translated by Google) I like it because from my youth there were still many shops today because at that time there is no longer an electric train it has become pedestrian even around the square also there was a cinema which was broadcasting a lot of great premieres. All this leading to a lot of meetings ET Etc etc etc (Original) Je l'aime parce que de ma jeunesse IL y avait beaucoup des commerces encore aujourd'hui car de ce temps IL n'y a plus de train électrique c'est devenu piétonne même autour de la place aussi il y avait Un cinéma Qui diffusait beaucoup des excellentes filmes en première. Tout cela amenant beaucoup de rencontres ET Etc etc etc
