Molhe Restaurant — Restaurant in Porto

UPDATE:2023-12-10 We were back in Montosinho Beach and decided to go back to Molhe restaurant. We got an outside table with great views of the ocean.

The drinks were brought promptly. However, it took 30 minutes for our entrees, Grilled Dorado (€14.50) & Steak W/ fried egg and French fries (€14), to arrive, even though the restaurant was not that busy. There were several servers, but it didn't appear that they had assigned tables. No one checked how things were after we received our entrees.

Finally, when we were ready to pay, the server who brought the credit vCard machine to process the payment asked: "Would you like to add tip? "

As evert one knows, tip is included but I usually leave something fit great service. Not this time , especially since he was thinking we were tourists and tried to take advantage of it.

REVIEW 2019: The views are hard to beat. The entrees we ordered, Prego Prato (steak with fried egg on top, French fries, and small side salad) tasted very good and was reasonably priced at €9. Granted, the restaurant is sitting right across the ocean and has beautiful views, and that is usually a reason for higher prices, but even with that standard, most seafood dishes...

Good afternoon, I had a very negative experience in this restaurant, we waited for a seat on the first line by the ocean for a very long time, since there were no seats available. In the end, we sat on the second line since the first was occupied, soon a table closer to the ocean became free and we asked the waiter to move, she said: yes, of course, no problem! We immediately got up and went to the table, and at that moment a couple with a stroller and a child came up, the waiter did not know what to do, although we came first, and specially waited for a table closer to the water to become free. In the end, the waitress called the head waiter, he came, they spoke in Portuguese and he said that this table was supposedly reserved, BUT at the same time, people had just moved away from him and this table was absolutely free! Of course, we were moved and locals were given preference over visitors. Be prepared that you will not get what you wanted, since you are a tourist, not a local. Also the children were...

Fabulous!! If you love good food, beautiful views and great wine or coffee...this place is a MUST. seafood lovers really should try the Cataplana dish with huge prawns, octopus, green lipped mussels, sea bream, hake, potatoes and sun dried tomatoes all glazed with the most superb port infused sauce.... heavenly food... great place for delicious vegetarian dishes too or a lovely fillet steak for the carne lovers... amazing homemade icecreams to finish and the best coffee in Portugal, a "pingo" is a must try! Sit and watch the sunset with a locally produced 20 year old Port... followed by an after dinner stroll along this beautiful esplanade... This truly is the best of Oporto!

Obrigada Manuela and staff for making us so welcome on our second visit in a week to try the lunch menu... the Tapas is out of this world!! Keep up the...
