Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This restaurant was recommended to us and a bit tricky to find, but we were glad we persevered. Had great service, a lovely meal (the mushroom risotto and the cod dish were both excellent) and I had one of the most generously poured G&T’s ever....It has outside tables facing the river as well as the inside restaurant which had nice ambience.More

Chicken salad was good. Sea bass was very tasty. Charged 3.50 euros ( per person) for 2 pieces of bread. I would’ve given another star except I was not impressed with how they charged for extras.

A tourist trap of mega proportions. Food is poor to average. But the real cherry on the top in this restaurant are the serving staff. Rude, arrogant and unable to run a restaurant as small as this. Don't waste your time or money as it's...hugely overpriced.More

I learnt that so much depends on the waiter that serves you. Ours was snappy and condescending. Place is beautiful, we sat outside. The food was ok. No more than average. Fish soup and codfish for husband, tuna tartare and sole for me. Not great...cooking. The mark of 3 out of 5 is for the location.More

Terrible food. We order the big Ribeye and it was overcooked and Very chewy and tough. The fish was very bland and dry. The waiter was incredibly rude and dismissive. The OnLY thing good was the view.

We were fortunate to arrive at this restaurant at the beginning of lunch as it meant we had an outside table looking out over the Douro. The location was fabulous and enhanced by attractive flowers on the wall adjacent to our table. The food was...another reason to dine here. One of us enjoyed fish with potatoes and salad while the other had risotto. Be early for this quintessential Porto experience.More

Excellent place and atmosphere. Tasty and beautifully served food. .as an appetizer were oysters, which were supplemented with a very suitable side dish. The fish soup was served with fruits and interestingly. The seafood salad was completely different than expected, but delicious! The octopus was...excellent, only the chard side dish was bland and a bit tasteless. White wine, local recommended. The choice was successful.More

We only booked that day so unsurprisingly did not get a seat inside, but that was fine. Nice atmosphere inside. The staff weren’t particularly attentive at the start but I put this down to not enough staff (which we noticed at a view places). They...were friendly and helpful when they got to us. The duck was delicious and the conventual dessert was amazing. Wine and port also good. We’d definitely go backMore

We were passing this restaurant at around 12-15 pm, the perfect time to get a choice of tables. Although the inside tables looked fine, there are only a few outside tables giving panoramic river views. The flowers at each table enhance the atmosphere. The wines...and food are also first rate. One of us enjoyed grilled bream with salad while the other opted for mushroom risotto. Both of us loved our meals. We'd certainty recommend this restaurantMore
