Petisqueira Godinho — Restaurant in Matosinhos

Highly recommend for a local authentic meal cooked by a very welcoming and kind old man who does everything from cooking to serving. Though he doesn’t speak English he tried his best to take us through the menu and showed us the size of the fish before we ordered anything. Portion sizes were really big at a very affordable price.

The only things to note are

1. it’s cash only
2. everything extra he brings to the table will be added to your bill so you’ll need to decline them if you don’t want them (though the octopus salad was our favourite).

Overall the meal was delicious and would definitely return for the homely and...

Phenomenal food. Fantastic service. I don't usually leave reviews but this was a singularly spectacular meal serviced by someone who loves what he does.

Based on past reviews and recommendations from other patrons we ordered a grilled bass, grilled squid and the fish & prawn stew and they were all excellent. We had the egg pudding and creme anglaise desserts and they were both delicious too.

The gentleman hosting/cooking/serving is so jolly and kind and made the whole experience lovely. It felt like having a meal at grandpa's house....

Our first experience in Porto was this lovely little restaurant. We were met by a very friendly waiter. The service was great as was the atmosphere (we were there only people at the restaurant as it was close to closing time) We ordered grilled sardines, grilled fish and seafood rice. Everything was absolutely delicious, as was the complimentary small plates of octopus pieces and bacalao fritters. The portions were very generous. We also had some bread rolls and a small jug of wine and the bill was 57euro for 4 people....
