O Paparico

Reviewed By IsabelMNSS

„O PAPARICO“ Restaurant is a hidden gem in Porto. It is absolutely amazing in everyway from its interior décor and charming rustic stone walls, to its furniture and tableware design. Superb elegance and taste! For starters we chose oysters and steamed seasoned bivalve molluscs but dinner began with a warm tasty broth, followed by a set of appetizers which included a black eyed beans vinagrette, a type of codfish pasty, 40 years cured smoked ham and olive fois gras. All delicious and amazingly presented. Then came our starters’ order. The bivalve molluscs were well seasoned and the algae gave it a pleasant sea taste. In between came a “home” baked bread and “bôla” - absolutely divine... For main course we had the baked sea bream with a mixed tomato salad. Very light and tasty. For dessert we shared an egg designed dessert which was splendidly presented and tasted heavenly! Accompanying coffee we were presented with a sculpture that had three types of mini macarrons, all delicious (my favorite was the passion fruit flavoured one). The staff are very profissional and attentive throughout dinner. It was a very pleasant dinner with friends that turned out to be superbly amazing and exceeded our expectations! Very highlly recommend it for an amazing gourmet experience!

Tappas Caffe

Reviewed By JoseSM - Porto

I was invited to eat one of the best Francesinhas in Porto . The expectation was high as
I love Francesinhas and the sauce. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the staff is very kind and always in good mood. For the Francesinha lovers there are 3 or 4 choices of this famous Sandwich that is cooked in the woven here. As I appreciate the original Francesinhas and these are modern variations I didn’t enjoy so much . Anyway it is worth to try these variations .

Taberna do Centenario

Situated in the heart of Valongo, the Centenary Tavern "Taberna do Centenario" offers a homely and cozy atmosphere with traditional foods and good Portuguese wines. The century-old building, with a traditional local architecture carries and gives us an environment and unique experiences, which together with our food and wine you will never forget.

Reviewed By Laura R - Matosinhos, Portugal

After many requests from my friends to book another "Tasquice" (visit to traditiona restaurants), I decided to go to Taberna do Centenário. It was my friend Batista who had seen it somewhere and was curious about it.
The experience started well with the phone call to book the table, friendly and helpful. They called me on the day to confirm everything was ok.
The experience was very very good. The food, mostly tapas, was excellent, the sangria is to "drink" for more. And the best news: not too expensive.
In the end they asked if they could take our picture to put in their site and recommended the steak and the "francesinha". So, we'll be back very soon, hopefully when summer truly arrives so we can sit outside and enjoy the food.

Restaurante Jardim

Reviewed By apfsantos - Portugal

This restaurant was a nice surprise. We had bacalhau a Zé do Pipo and vitela (veal) assada no forno. The bacalhau was majestic. Very soft and tasty. The veal was even better, with a perfect mix of flavour and very tender. The starters were Ok in comparison with the rest. For desert we had house's sweet (chocolate cake with vanilla icecream). It was pretty decent. For 4 people we paid 20/person (with tip) and we ate plenty. Overall, a very good restaurant. To revisit.

Quinta Do Cabo

Reviewed By Pedro S - Porto, Portugal

Ambiente acolhedor com salas com poucas mesas, empregados simpáticos e comida excelente.
Fomos 6 pessoas à Quinta do Cabo e todos ficamos com vontade de regressar.
A refeição ao domingo ficou por menos de 14€ por pessoa (sem sobremesas), mas é possível comer bem por cerca de 10€.
