A different restaurant, stylish with more international cuisine. Staff is professional however, sometimes a bit 'pushing'. Give your guests some time to settle and study the menu and wine
list and never bring the bill to the table when your guests have not asked for it! This happened to us while we actually wanted to order a glass of local brandy with a second cup of coffee!

Reviewed By Henrique d - Porto, Portugal
PROS
- Family run restaurant: excellent and traditional food;
- Food quality: it's easy to notice that all the products are high quality;
- Reasonable price, mains to 2 persons around 20€.
- Good variety of desserts and starters, I suggest to invest some time and money in some good starts and reserve same space in the stomach for a good dessert.
CONS
- Menu variety: To me is not a problem, but for who is expecting a menu with lots of options, this restaurant has only just a few options, daily changing.
DO I WILL RETURN?
- Can happen!

Nice, quiet and non expensive place serving thin wood oven pizzas. Some ingredients would be better if fresh like the mushrooms and pineapple but in the end we pay a reasonable price for what they make. The fresh salad (lettuce and carrot) and the garlic bread was also nice.
To eat in place or take away.

I was recommended this place by a local driver, who told me I wouldn't get a better steak Sandwich anywhere in the world.
When we arrived, we had to wait for a table because it was rammed with locals. Which is a good sign.
Sat down and were handed a Portuguese menu. Every option starts with 'Prego de Lombo' which translates as 'loin claw' on google. It actually means 'steak sandwich' so don't panic. I also found out after spending AGES looking for the word 'bife' (beef, duh), that they actually also have English menu's. I must look like a local.
Anyway, the Sandwich was great (bits of mine were a teeeeeeny bit chewy, but my parter's was perfect), the wedges and dips were lovely and the beer was cold. Win win win. I don't technically agree with the driver though, I've had better.
The service was pretty slow though, and the waiter forgot to bring us our second round of drinks which was a bummer. He didn't really seem to care either.
I recommend getting here before you're really hungry, because if it's busy, you're in for a bit of a wait.
Also they don't take credit/debit card, unless you're lucky enough to have a Portuguese bank account. I am not and had to go for a wander.

Le Babachris distinguishes itself by offering is customers an amazing experience, where simple ingredients give place to exquisite dishes worked with passion and creativity with an influence of French and Mediterranean cuisine.

You have a choice of 4 courses at 28 euros or 6 courses at 35 euros.
Each dish was amazing and I am from San Francisco area and there the same dinner would be at least 100 dollars per person. It compares to a one star Michelin at home.
The service was also excellent
8. Duho Restaurante
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 359 reviews
DUHO RESTAURANTE é um “retrato” da comida portuguesa com as suas naturais tradições gastronómicas do norte de Portugal. Num espaço pequeno e bastante acolhedor, surge a vontade de criar um lugar de conforto, dado à confraternização e naturalmente à satisfação de estar à mesa. Repleto de sentimentos gastronómicos, o Duho apresenta a formula mais natural e simples de mostrar o momento da escolha do prato de um jeito muito peculiar e até bastante informal. Sempre com o propósito de evidenciar o modo como vemos e degustamos as formas e as cores dos alimentos depois do processo de confecção. É provável que seja um beneficio estar ainda nesta cidade maravilhosa e acolhedora. É ainda mais nostálgico, regressar e provar com mais satisfação as pequenas coisas que a vida nos proporciona. E deste jeito, anunciamos com mais certezas que de facto temos tudo aquilo que precisamos para viver as tradições.

Rated #1, itappealed to us based on terrific reviews. We clicked on the website in TripAdvisor which took us to the Facebook page of the restaurant and from there to their menu.
The place is hard to find -- off the beaten path and with poor signage. If you go, its because you made the effort as you will not stumble onto this place. We had almost given up, crawling Don Joan IV street when we finally found it --- a nice stone building.
Service is top of the line - somewhat stiff but in line with the establishment. The restaurant is small.
The food was excellent - and fresh. We had the sautéed mushroom with eggplant as a starter - yummy and well prepared. We decided to order 1/2 portion of lamb and veal -- the lamb was delicious, along with the potatoes au gratin. The veal - we find to be overcooked and tough - an unfortunate detail.
Note that the menu on Facebook is not updated -- My Mission was to have their octopus which was listed on the menu on line ---
This restaurant is a safe bet for a good meal --

Tem uma decoração típica de tasca muito engraçada, com uma exposição de quadros do menino da lágrima muito original. A besta foi o que gostei mais, uma tarde de chocolate com raspas de lima, estava divinal. Posta de vitela muito boa acompanhada por grelos muito saborosos. Bom arroz de pato. Comi como entrada Portobelo, que tinha cogumelos, alheira, grelos e queijo derretido, muito bom. O senhor joão e o funcionário, que não decorei o nome, foram muito simpáticos e atenciosos. Vamos voltar com certeza.
