Em Canto — Restaurant in Porto

Food = One goes to a restaurant based on their entrees (protein is the star of the show), I order the octopus tentacle. The appearance of the dish was well composed and did really look amazing. Sadly the protein was over cooked, chewy, and though to eat. I know the difference because I ate the same dish at another restaurant 2 nights ago and the difference was night and day. My wife and I had the vegetable soup and green pea soup, and they were up to par. But you don’t go to a restaurant for soup…

Service = I could tell the server was new because he had some trouble opening the bottle of wine and spilled a bit of wine on the table as well as some olive oil while pouring. Other than that, he was friendly and attentive.

Restaurant Ambience = restaurant looks nice and it seems well maintained. My wife and I did not have a good time because there was a constant bad human bowel odor from time to time. My concern is that the manager was present and did not offer any type of remedy to the situation. For that reason, I will never eat there again when I am in Porto.

All other restaurant experiences were positively trending.

The food is delicious for the price more the fair BUT we booked a table with the app the Fork with the discount and there was no discount. Then we wanted the table outside and instead of telling us that everything was booked for tonight they told us to take a table inside just for the drinks and appetizer and for the main course we can have the table outside. It was fine for us, then they told us that we should order the main course right away because the kitchen will be closed soon and until is the meal prepared we will have out table outside. At the end we never got the table outside they brought us the meal with an excuse like sorry it is too crowded. Since we were very hungry and tired we eat there inside and left. The place is beautiful outside and it would be the perfect „welcome to Porto“ since we were tourists. It made me sad that they play us like that. But the chef and the food is very tasty and the wine was great so that’s why it...

Went here to try some Portuguese cuisine. The place is neat and has a good interior. The service is outstanding. The tables are a bit small, which is hard to serve those who order a lot.

Food: Francesina - something interesting, but it's basically a burger with ingredients being put in another order. Cheese lovers might love the amount of cheese, but for me it was too much. Overall francesina was good.

The meat with sweet potatoes (batatas) was amazing. A bit too oily in the bottom. Probably would benefit from more sausage. The meat was very soft and was very delicate to eat.

Octopus was good, but everything else served with it wasn't to our taste. The sides help the octopus look great, but they don't add taste to the dish.

Finally, the dessert. Wasn't bad, the chocolate cake itself was good. The ice cream is nothing special.

I would highly recommend visiting this place. Also make sure to reserve a table in advance as it is a popular...
