ADEGA SÃO NICOLAU

They say that this is the place where Porto Chefs go and eat       


RESERVATIONS: [phone]

 This place is really a secret that everyone tries to keep to themselves but I decided to share it with you. The Adega S.Nicolau is an old wine cellar located in Ribeira, an iconic place of Porto that is visited by locals regardless of its touristic reputation.

With simple cooking methods such as coal grill, boil and roast, the most amazing traditional dishes come out of that small kitchen. The service is very good with some traditional roots whereas the wine selection includes some of the best Portuguese brands.

I know you wanted some food photos but you have to see this LITTLE secret yourselves!

Enjoy!

TABERNA DO CAIS DAS PEDRAS

WINE, FRIENDS & TAPAS!


 RESERVATIONS: 222 017 198 The  Taberna do Cais das Pedras is my favourite place to go out for dinner with friends. Of course if you are with friends you want good wine, good beer and good Tapas. For me tapas means noise, happiness & friends, which is exactly the combination that you will find in this awesome restaurant. It is located in a privileged area by the river which adds value to this place. The owner of the place is Isabel who brings lots of life to this small and busy restaurant. She was also the owner and the founder of the Taberna do barqueiro, a small restaurant with only 4 tables located in the heart of Oporto but the success of the place demanded something bigger. This cosy and welcoming place was the perfect answer for the demand and now it is always full of customers.

About the food, the Tapas are 100% Portuguese, Portuguese products, cooking methods and traditional plates. Some examples are, the ‘Pataniscas’, Portuguese goat cheese, ‘alheira’ and ‘Chouriço’ (Portuguese sausages), clams Portuguese style, ‘Moelas’, wild mushrooms and so many small and unique dishes. The prices vary from 1,5 to 7€ for the tapas and the wine is also very accessible with a great selection. Check the FADO nights on all wednesday's of the year! Go there and you will become a fan… I can bet you will.

BUFETE FASE

Is it the BEST francesinha of Porto? Tell me what you think …

RESERVATIONS: 22 205 2118                 Francesinha is one of the most traditional dishes from Porto and the discussion about what is the best one could take hours or days. I decided to talk about BUFETE FASE because it is a unique spot full of tradition and to respect the tradition they keep the structure of the business always small, just to maintain the awesome quality of the food.                 Around 30 years ago José Menezes Pinto opened the Bufete Fase, a small place that specialised in traditional hot dog’s, “Prego’s” (steak with bread) and Francesinhas. It quickly became very famous for its francesinhas and now it is the only dish they offer and they have their hands full all the time.

                One of the special things about this restaurant is that it only had 4 small tables that could fit 8 to a maximum of 9 what made this spot special and exclusive. Only a few people could eat these awesome francesinhas in one day. Recently they expanded and they have now 12 tables and they can fit 48pax at the same time in the restaurant.                 They do not make reservations so you should go early.                 The price for a francesinha with fries and a cold draught beer is 11,50€, reasonable price for the Best in the city. Go and try it!!!

MUNCHIE

THE BEST BURGERS IN OPORTO! NO RESERVATIONS                 MUNCHIE burger kitchen is the answer for the new burger trend with a huge demand in the city and World. If you go to Munchie today it will be full of clients and it has been like that since the day it opened. The burger trend came alive again but this time in no longer a fast-food industry, now it’s all about good products, good presentation, good flavours and tradition.

                Pedro Bessa (on the left) is one of the owners and the head chef of this burger kitchen. He is a talented entrepreneur who made this awesome project one of the most successful spots in Porto! One of the best commercial ideas that he had was to create a menu with 7 different burgers, each named after the 7 deadly sins. Check out your deadly sin…

                The restaurant is located in the Rua de Ceuta, the heart of Oporto and where all the young people meet before they go out. You can have an awesome burger with some beers and chill with friends until 2am, every day. We were used to link burgers to kids but in Munchie we have all different ages and segments, from families to couples, from business men to students.In short, it’s a place where food is the element that brings everyone together.                 The average price is 8€ for a menu of a burger, potatoes and a drink. You can add a desert for 2€.                 The restaurant has 3 different areas, outside area with 6 tables, a small yard with 4 tables and one counter and there is a new place room in the back with around 15 more tables. Do you think these 25-30 tables are enough? They could double the number of tables and they would still be full… that’s MUNCHIE success.

PORTAROSSA

Portarossa is more than just an Italian restaurant, it’s THE Italian restaurant!

RESERVATIONS:  [phone]                         Hidden in the most beautiful zone of Oporto, the magnificent Portarossa. It opened its doors in 2013 and has enjoyed success ever since. The owners of Terra (posted on this blog) bought the property as an old but very pleasant restaurant and transformed it into an awesome project with delicious Italians delicatessens.

The space and ambience are very familiar and diverse. It is a perfect place to take your girlfriend/boyfriend, friends or family to experience something very enjoyable. The space is divided into an outdoor zone with around 10 tables, which is a very pleasant area ( the only problem reported by some friends are the chairs that are not so comfortable).The interior décor is modern Italian, very cosy and familiar.                Let’s move to the part that we all love … FOOD! These are pure Italian products that are used to create perfect Italian dishes. I should also say that they have a very good Italian-Portuguese wine selection and a perfect (one of my passions) ice-cold draught super-bock beer.       

A big and delicious bruschetta with salami and quail eggs.          

      Traditional Arancini, a deep-fried rice ball with cheese. 

          This is a combination of a traditional dish from Oporto, “Francesinha” that is made of meat and sausage toast with a beer and tomato sauce (may sound strange but its awesome…and FAT). In this occasion, instead of using bread, they use pizza dough to make a calzone and we pour the sauce on the top … EXPLENDID!                A meal can cost around 15-30€ and it is a guaranteed good choice for a business lunch, a family dinner, a sangria in summer. Go and try it!

BAR TOLO

Portuguese Tapas in a cosy environment and unique location!

RESERVATIONS: [phone] Bar Tolo is an amazing tapas and wine bar and that reflects in every way: the location, the building, the decoration, the environment, the splendid food and the welcoming service. I have a personal and special bond with this restaurant because it used to be a clothing store called ‘Fun Farrow’ where I bought my clothes when I was a kid. Fun Farrow sold clothes based on the Asterix and Obelix stories and these stories are also present today in Bar Tolo. The books are used as menus, which is a great idea and implementation. The concept of the restaurant exceeds a normal Tapas bar by being a new reference for Porto gastronomy. Thanks to the owner who has created a good environment,  selected an perfect wine list, he has made BAR TOLO the right place to place to have lunch, dinner, a glass of wine after work or even a cocktail before going out. Thanks to the Head-Chef David Bastos, a young talented chef with unique ideas and a fine technique, the food offered is just exceptional.                 Let’s see what BAR TOLO is all about…

The ground floor is where the wine and cocktail magic happens. It is warm and welcoming and a perfect place to enjoy some drinks combined with excellent tapas.                 HAPPY HOUR: MONDAY TO FRIDAY – 5pm to 7pm

The cosy room on the first floor allows all clients to enjoy a relaxed and memorable meal. There is also a small terrace on the second floor, perfect for sunny days. Now let’s see the FAT STUFF and the core of the restaurant, the FOOD. Chosen by the Head Chef his newest dish - perfectly sautéed scallops laid on green pea purée topped with a slice of spicy chorizo and sprinkled with crunchy prosciutto.  Just delicious!

The second election was an amazing veal loaf Alentejo-DOP garnished with sautéed greens, potatoes, olive oil and garlic sauce. Tender and memorable.

The prices can vary from 12€-25€ for lunch and 15€ to 35€ for dinner- reasonable price for the quality of food and service. This is a Fatass recommendation try this spot and you will be amazed by the  food as well as the awesome wine selection.
