Franganito Bar Low cost Beer — Restaurant in Porto

On a 24 hour visit to Porto we wanted a dinner by the river. We chose here...oh dear! The positives...well a beautiful river view, and a wonderfully designed interior. Ok....now the rest.....the staff seemed to be focusing more on setting up tables(in an empty restaurant), than serving the customers...with the exception of the young man who initially served us. The owner was at the till counting the pennies....the food was more fuel than food, relatively bland and overcooked, there was a patio heater in the middle of the restaurant instead of being on the patio where the customers would have benefited from it ....all this place needed was Basil Fawlty shouting " don't mention the war!" And the cliche would have been complete!. On a Saturday night, by the river the restaurant was barely 20% full. A shame....a bit more attention to detail and the customers could make all...

What an absolute delight! The location was just spectacular. Right on the river.

We sat at an outdoor table overlooking the water and the cable cars going by.

Everything from the port wine to the dessert was delicious.

The salmon is not to be missed. One of the best I have ever had. Simply prepared with the freshest ingredients.

The caramel dessest was unbelievable.

The staff was so helpful and so polite.

One of th best afternoon...

Their mixed platter of cheese and meats is simply the best and such good value. Thank you for making our stay such a...
