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.

For starters, the place is very pretentious. At the door there is a sign saying that they have the right to refuse admission (!?!). At the first interaction with the uncooperative waitress, her response to my “good evening” was: “we only accept Portuguese credit cards...(!?!), cash and paypal”. For some reason, I decided to stay. Ok wine. Below average food. Total waste of time. Would not come back if they paid meMore

A scenic river view in Porto is the perfect spot before dinner. Or you can make it dinner an extensive choice of tapas. Friendly service, me in English, and a sizable choice of Portuguese wines.

A little place with a great, direct, view to the river. Owner very knowledgable about wines and Ports. Tapas great. Enjoyed sardines and cheese presented on a little cute cutting cheese board. All staff very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended. Note: a huge thanks as...left my glasses there and the staff posted them to me the following day. Thank you, thank you!More

If you want a stunning view for a pre dinner glass of wine and a small tapas - this is your place. The wine is chilled and delicious. However this is NOT a restaurant and the tapas are average. The shiitake mushrooms and peppers were...served in dishes so small - they resembled Petri dishes ! The cod was ok. The tuna was dry. The waitress warned everyone to hide their cheese from hungry seagulls and that they would steal the cheese and ignore the fish. I think we worked out why ! They had good taste ! Would we return ? Yes for a glass of wine and bread and cheeseMore

The waitress Adriana was not helpful. We asked for cheese, she didn't bring to us. We waited a lot and it didn't come. I don't recommend this place at all. The day of my visit was 22may2023.

Friends had recommended we visited this wine bar and we weren't disappointed. It's a wonderful spot to watch the world go by and listen to the street musicians. The staff are lovely and so knowledgeable about wine and we sampled some super ones. We also...tried the mussels which were amazing and some cheeses which again, were recommended by our lovely waitress. You will need cash here as they only take Portugese cards but there are local ATM's so you don't need to walk far.More

If you can spare a couple of hours to relax in the Wine Quay you will not regret it. The bar focuses on a small selection of wines and tapas that is chosen for its quality, without being overly priced. We tried a couple of...glasses of white and three reds. You could taste each before you committed, and all were excellent. The staff were knowledgeable and provided good information on each wine. The food was amazing. A great selection of local cheeses. Wafer thin ham which is probably the best I have ever tasted. Fresh local prawns. All this, and views out over the Douro to the bridge and the port houses. Find the time.More

You'll need to look up to find Wine Quay Bar because it is not at street level—great news for the view and to keep the crowds away. Snag a seat on the balcony and relax. So much fun that we went twice! Wine list was...lovely and the cheeses, tomatoes, and meats we tried were delicious and beautifully plated. Highly recommend and extra credit for all the things they make out of wine corks!More

We came here under the impression that they had many port options, but they mostly serve just one brand. They have a beautiful patio area facing the river but even if there are seats available and you are inside, they refuse to let you move...outside, which is crazy. Don't they want people to see other people enjoying drinks on their patio - brings more business? Disappointed. There are so many better options on the Ribeira.More

I guess the outside seating area is part of the street so imagine it’s be okay.

There’s no wine tasting here.. you will have to cross the river to Vila Nova De Gaia and go to one of those port wineries :)
