Alim Esfihas — Restaurant in Porto

How brilliant!

Descobrir esta casa de esfihas no Porto foi uma das melhores surpresas gastronômicas que já tive. Desde o momento em que entrei, fui recebido com um sorriso genuíno e um atendimento impecável por parte do Rafael, que fez toda a diferença na experiência. Atencioso, simpático e sempre pronto a recomendar os sabores mais especiais da casa. As esfihas são simplesmente extraordinárias.
