The best restaurants Porto And North

On the banks of the Douro River, enjoy masterpieces of Portuguese gastronomy by award-winning chef Rui Paula, including a Michelin star. His cuisine is an explosion of flavors, designed around carefully selected products. To whet your appetite, why not try a divine foie gras terrine with port followed by a succulent rack of lamb? Enjoy the terrace and let yourself be lulled by the gentle sound of the Douro. An unforgettable moment for a special occasion or to treat yourself.

In this central and lively brewery, it is possible to order a good dish of the day based on meat in particular, but not only. The menu is wide, as is the wine and beer list, as its name indicates. At the counter, in the dining room, or even better on the small terrace, you will be surrounded by regulars who come either to have a drink or a bite to eat or to watch a soccer match, or all three! A very pleasant place to settle down at any time of the day or evening, there is usually always some movement. The service is friendly.

Certainly, the kitchen remains a matter of tradition... and to find a small restaurant of this quality is a rare thing! One feels at home, even more so when the owner's son hands us school notebooks on which are meticulously handwritten the tapas, petiscos and desserts available. The tables draped with the famous shawls dear to the Lisbon fado singers welcome Portuguese specialties but with a very personal touch. If you are visiting Peso da Regua, this is the place to dine.

Opened at the beginning of 2018 by a trio of friends, the place is not deserted: it is most probably the best meat restaurant in Porto (offered in normal 250 g or maxi 1 kilo version for 2). The wine list is well thought out and matches the quality of the products offered. A vegan dish and fish are also on the menu. The service is both particularly efficient and friendly. Reservation highly recommended for a highly recommended place.

What a fantastic, amazing and delicious place! Inside this rococo style building, there is a great bookstore, with shelves full of all kinds of books (children's literature, travel, comics....). But don't miss the café at the back with its peaceful interior patio, terrace and garden. In this haven of peace surrounded by novels, you can eat a salad, a home-cooked dish of the day or a delicious crumble. On the second floor, different stores have opened: fashion, jewelry, art gallery. Intelligent and very friendly welcome.

This restaurant is THE fresh fish specialist in town. Moreover, it remains closed on days when it is difficult to get supplies, which can lead to frustration and disappointment among customers... In addition to the perfectly grilled and seasoned robalo, sargo or linguado, the caldeirada (on order) and the cooked rice emphasize the flavors of the ocean. The cod fritters are an unequalled treat. Good reception, restaurant in the peace facing the sea. We are well!

In the center of the beautiful old town, this restaurant has a lot of charm and the cuisine is remarkable. The service is worthy of the best restaurants. The menu twists the classics of Portuguese cuisine with talent and refinement. The scallops with curry and the red mullet are a delight. The cooking of the beef ribeye is perfectly mastered. The wine list is generous in quality and reasonable in price, making this restaurant a perfect illustration of the quality of life in the city. Take your time and enjoy this moment.
