A warm, unpretentious Portuguese restaurant on Rua das Taipas in Porto’s old town, and a longtime local favourite (its thousands of reviews tell the story). No reservations — you just turn up — for generous plates of freshly cooked regional cooking: grilled fish, veal and hearty classics, finished with homemade desserts like cheesecake and chocolate mousse. Fair prices, honest food and a proper neighbourhood feel. Closed Sundays.
While you’re in the city, pair it with a Porto food tour with 10 tastings.
