Milho Rei — Restaurant in Matosinhos

The food was very very very bad :( if you can - try to avoid. The bacalhau we’ve tooked was burned and the smell was so bad that we couldn’t even stand it! Like the old socks plus dirty toilet together... It was impossible to eat. When we asked the waiter to check if this is fresh fish he told us that this is typical smell of bacalhau. We have tried few times this type of fish at different places and it was definitely not like this! The other dish we took was fine (hake fish). Chips were not chrispy but at least the smell was neutral. It was the worst food in Portugal...

This seems to be called Restaurante Espigueiro now. A quality place where the locals eat. Fast service. I had the lulas fried and with chips accompanied by a small carafe of white wine and followed by chocolate mousse. €20. Much better value than those tourist trap fish restaurants and the food was fresher. I visited again today....
