    Love love love this place. It's a bit of an upward hike from the river, but well worth it. The view you get from the patio is amazing. I highly recommend the duck rice dish and the corn churro appetizer. So delicious! The service was wonderful as well.

    The service from our waiter was good and he recommended the best red wine we've tasted IN Portugal. However it took 1 hour to get our appetizer (pork shoulder) which was too fatty and too salty. The seafood rice came with calamari fried and pink prawns looked more like shrimp (never seen prawns so small). Also the bottom layer was stuck to the pan and too crunchy, which the waiter said was supposed to be. We just don't eat burned things, super hard to digest.

    I was a little disappointed by the lunch in this place: the service was so slow ( we had to wait 35 minutes for the dish) and the choice of dishes very limited. However the view was really nice, as well as the place itself. If you wanna go just make sure before that you really like the menu choices ( I would recommend the bacalau).

    This place has an amazing view to watch the sunset. The concept of the place is to share the dishes. While this restaurant is more expensive than others in Porto and portions were small, the food was really delicious! The waiter was also very friendly and helpful. Definitely worth going for the view, to have a drink and some bites.

    Super fresh dishes served by helpful staff in a stunner of an atmosphere. The menu changes regularly, so I’m excited to go back and try more of their delicious food. But really, they had me at the view. Sitting looking over the river with a cool breeze and a glass of wine… doesn’t get much better! Great spot for a romantic date.

    We had a blast ! Every dish is amazingly good without being heavy. Very sophisticated and simple at the same time. I recommend everything on the menu. Only warning the portion are not huge because the purpose of the restaurant is to share them so you have to take but if it is not a problem for you, it is soooo worth it. Plus : the view on the Douro and Porto is incredible!

    This place is fantastic. Great ambiance. Most importantly, of course, is the good that is surprising and creative AND VERY GOOD! Not to forget the most enchanting river view! The best things on the menu are the ox tails and the duck rice. Just unbelievable taste!!!

    A little hidden gem with magnificent views. Perfect for a dinner date. The food is delicious, bread is made in house and so fresh. We had the sardines on toast, codfish w/mashed potatoes, fish ceviche. Everything= excellent. It's a place to order shareables. I would have loved it even more if the portion sizes were very slightly larger for the price. But overall, the whole experience was fantastic. Definitely recommend this place.

    One of the best dining experiences ever...big call I know but it was truly an amazing meal. Each one of the dishes was unique and packed so much flavour. Great view of the river as well.

    This place was great! The food brilliant and the view over the river was even better. We were fortunate as we were there on a day with a proper sunset but I’m sure it would be great regardless. Their Hokkaido pumpkin dish is amazing as well, I’d highly recommend giving it a try!

    Amazing view of the sunset (5 stars), mixed with solid food (3.5 stars): While the menu is simple and the portions are rather small, they provide a solid variety of flavors, though only the pork cheeks with egg and hollandaise sauce made the 5 stars. Service was very friendly, while the location with a lot of stairs up and down is rather not for older people. Just because of the nice sunset atmosphere a recommendation, though not necessarily for the food.

    This is special and spent a few wonderful hours here soaking up the scenery, fabulous staff and lively locals enjoying their Sunday.

    Awesome place.

    Getting to the restaurant isn't easy, there are a lot of steps you have to go down, the reward you get is an amazing view of the river and nice people cooking fantastic food and making your time there as good as possible. I loved the duck rice and was amazed by the chocolate mousse with olive oil!

  • 2/5 Markus B. 4 months ago on Google • 45 reviews
    Small Likal with a good view, a bit musty. Service was friendly, although far from professional. Slow and have no overview. The pig brioche was ok, but the duck rice was totally tasteless (that's probably why the salt shaker was left next to us without saying a word). The best thing was the bread beforehand…

    Had a memorable lunch during our trip. The views, food, and drinks made everything align perfectly. Would definitely recommend!

    Goodness. I have travelled a lot. I’ve had good food. I’ve had good service. I’ve had great views. But very rarely that it’s all 3. Sunset was fantastic. Service was fantastic. What lovely people. Duck rice is in my top 5 I’ve ever eaten (which is saying a lot. I’ve been in every continent). When you’re travelling solo it could be a hit or miss sometime. Thank you for a lovely evening.

    Exceptional! Best meal of our stay in Porto. Fresh dishes cooked in an original way for unbeatable prices! This with a magnificent view and a kind waitress speaking French. Do it again with your eyes closed!

    Amazing food with a breathtaking view. The food was delicious and very delicate. Our view of the river was unbeatable!

    Such delicious food! We had the duck rice for a main and absolutely amazing, reasonable prices, excellent views. One not to miss

  • 5/5 Валерия �. 9 months ago on Google • 15 reviews
    Such a great place. Hidden down a back street, the restaurant has an intimate setup, a nice view on the Douro river, and delicious food. Cappuccino was lovely: cooked at the right temperature and without a mountain of solid foam, as is often done in Portugal, covered with chocolate and cinnamon. And a cherry on the cake is that kitchen works the whole day! However, please keep in mind that it's located in the hard-to-reach place: you need to climb up the stairs and then climb a bit down using other stairs. P.S. It would be great to have a bit more positions in the menu. P. P. S. I do not have many places in my restaurants' list, but this one I will definitely add to.

    A nice view over the river. The food was ready quite fast and tasted so good. Definitely try the lavender ice cream! Also a very nice staff

  • 5/5 Marija J. 11 months ago on Google
    Intrigo is an amazing lunch option in Porto! The waiters were super sweet and welcoming, the view was stunning and the atmosphere chill, even though it was close to the city. Waiting time was short and we loved the food! We shared the aubergine dish, tuna and some others stuff - honestly all of them were great, can't go wrong! Definitely go for the tuna though! Genuinely great - nothing to complain about :)

  • 5/5 Gabriella K. 1 year ago on Google
    A little difficult to find but was glad I did. It's out of the way so it's not rammed with tourists. A nice balcony with a view of the river. Small menu that was very tasty. I had the squid and prawn rice, which was delicious

  • 5/5 Lisa M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice spot. Cosy with a great view. The food is really delicious, especially the pumpkin with basil pesto and the cheese plate. Really loved it. Also nice waiter who is really friendly. Would recommend it to everyone!

  • 5/5 Jack W. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice restaurant. The place is very calm and cozy. The service was perfect : Joao was our waiter and he was very good for the recommandations on the menu. The food is absolutely amazing and well presented. This place really deserves the best grade there is.

  • 5/5 Briana 2 years ago on Google
    Loved Intrigo! A true find. Tastefully decorated, understated elegance... we went for late lunch and couldn't have asked for a better experience. They have really amazing dishes, I love that it can be "family style" so you get to try everything (DEFINITELY recommend doing that). Every dish was perfect and left you wanting more, or shall we say, intrigued? Really professional/warm service too, a great place to be. Will be back!

  • 5/5 Aleksandra Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic view, perfect service, delicious food. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Barton D. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing. We slipped in here and got a terrace table before the crowd at about 7:30 PM and had a wonderful night. The views from the terrace are unreal. Food was so good and the servers (sassy awesome Vanessa and friendly professional John) were great. Pumpkin pesto was so unique and flavorful while the hamachi escabeche was light and uniquely great, as well. Maybe the best part of the night was the two wine recommendations by John; he recommended a nice crisp white wine to pair with our starters and then an AMAZING red wine from Duoro that my wife and I bought multiple bottles of. And the wine he recommended was 15 Euros less expensive than the priciest bottle on their wine list. I LOVE Getting real recommendations and not being upsold because I’m a tourist. Kudos to John and Vanessa and Intrigo!!!

  • 5/5 Anna S. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful place in Porto to enjoy dinner with a sunset view! The staff is so friendly and welcoming! And the food was simply amazing! We loved the tastes of every single plate we ordered to share! My friend is vegetarian and there were so many delicious options for us, including the desert! We just felt in love with the lavender ice-cream! Highly recommended!

  • 3/5 D J. 1 year ago on Google
    The view is amazing, the staff is very friendly.... the food was good but not "wow I want to come back here again" kind of good... Small plates are quite small portion wise...

  • 5/5 Leo B. 1 year ago on Google
    Found it randomly, what a surprise ! Amazing view over the river and the city, the food is super good quality and nicely served. The staff is very friendly. Perfect for a nice lunch with a view.

  • 5/5 Anna S. 1 year ago on Google
    one of the greatest places we’ve been to in Porto. we tried like half of the menu, and all of it was amazing! i especially loved the corn churros. also we loved the view and the atmosphere of the place overall.

  • 5/5 Hadi J. 1 year ago on Google
    Good restaurant in Porto. If you want to try good Portuguese food with a touch of modernity and a good view this is your place. The staff is super friendly and nice. The food is delicious and the view is heartbreaking! Everything is amazing here. You should try it. Prices are fair I guess.

  • 5/5 Satu H. 1 year ago on Google
    Restaurant with good food and great view! To find here you need to know the place or follow the map. Our waitress was very friendly and at the start explained everything and gave advice about the sizes of the different items on the menu. This helped a lot. We ordered one rice dish and two menu dishes to share. Everything was good quality and very tasty. I recommend the sourdough bread to take with the food.

  • 5/5 Mauricio R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great restaurant just a few stairs up of the river. The food is amazing, we has sardines toast, veal and duck rice. The service is superb and the view is amazing

  • 5/5 Alessio S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to dine in in Porto. The location is absolutely great as the terrace is positioned to give a perfect view over the river. The staff was kind, attentive and professional. They managed to find a table for us even if we showed up without booking on a busy day. Giving four to the food (sadly) because some of the dishes were really nothing amazing (the soup and some entries). On the other hand, I would highly recommend to order a bit of their sourdough bread and the squid and shrimp rice, simply delicious!

  • 5/5 Alice L. 1 year ago on Google
    What a hidden gem! Their outdoor seatings have an amazing view over the river. Food was interesting and tasty. We came here twice during our time in Porto. Highlights for us were the sourdough bread porridge (so good!!) and the cod with rosemary purée.

  • 5/5 Yassey 1 year ago on Google
    We just stumbled over this restaurant while walking through Porto and couldn't believe how lucky we got. Though we didn't have a reservation we got a nice table and very polite, helpful and friendly service. And let me tell you about the view, - just gorgeous! We visited as two good friends but we discussed how this would be the nicest place for a date ;) Also the food was just delicious and we also really liked the green vine. Everything was very fresh and of high quality. Also the seasoning and combination of different ingredients was very creative and interesting (in the best way possible). Regarding all these factors the pricing was totally fitting. We discussed how you'd pay far more for this quantity and quality of food in our home country. After we finished we had the chance to have a little smalltalk with a waiter which was also very pleasing :) Thanks for letting us have such a nice and yummy evening! We totally recommend this restaurant and would love to come again!

  • 5/5 Sara L. 2 years ago on Google
    Great restaurant with kind and professional service! Food was sophisticated and well presented. I highly recommended the brioche brioche sandwich, sardines and pumpkin/pesto dish. I haven't found aubergine and burrata that good but good quality overall! The view is breathtaking and the value of the place is clearly there. I'd recommend although slightly more expensive than the average restaurants in Porto!

  • 4/5 Magali C. 11 months ago on Google
    Friendly service and amazing view. Tasty dishes (we had the ones to share) which were however rather small and pricy. But the view makes it worth it.

  • 5/5 Carmel F. 1 year ago on Google
    This delightful restaurant not only has terrific food, but the view is very, very good too. We had delicious dinner here. Drinks with their tapas options would also be a delightful way to take in the view. We loved the Cod with rosemary purée. The corn churros were good too. This one ticks all the boxes. Thank you.

    Food was not enough for the price, also was pretty mediocre Your better off trying the pizza that is served on the top half of the restaurant
