27 April 2024 We had been looking for Restaurante Poveiros based on previous reviews and wanted to have the grilled ribs as shared by previous diner Dan L. Little did we know, the restaurant had moved but the location remain unchanged in G Maps. As of April 2024 they are located across the plaza from the old location. The new address is Praça dos Poveiros No 106, Porto Restaurante Poveiros
Now about the food: The ribs tasted better than the photos looked! They came with rice and fries and you have to be very hungry to finish it, and we had a half order! Check out the price on the receipt.
In addition to the ribs, we also had Bacalhau a Poveiro which was a thick cut of grilled fresh cod fish with tomato sauce and came with roasted garlic potatoes. The fish was solid and tender (fresh), and the flakes were large morsels. We had two caipirinhas and a half-bottle of Vinho Verde. We were just going to order glasses of the wine but it turned out that the price of 6 Euros was for the half-bottle. No arguments!
Check out the photos, go to Poveiros and ask for Carla. You’ll be stuffed...
Read moreWe had an outstanding experience at Restaurante Poveiros (Praça dos Poveiros, 106). From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly, efficient, and professional — truly going above and beyond.
The food was absolutely delicious, and I can honestly say this was the best meal we’ve had in Portugal since arriving a few days ago. The beef we ordered, served with Portuguese sausage, black beans, and white rice, was tender and full of flavor.
A special thanks to Armando, the big boss, who personally came to our table to make sure we were satisfied. His warm hospitality made us feel like family, and his care turned a great meal into an unforgettable experience.
Thank you to the entire Poveiros team for making us feel so welcome. You truly stand out among all the restaurants in Porto. Five stars...
Read moreWe went here because we wanted to sit outside and saw the reviews were good. However, all 3 of our francesinha's were not good. We had 2 veggie's and 1 regular. They were all served cold, the bread was not toasted, cheese not melted. Me and my girlfriend liked the sauce, but our portugese friend said it was too much just tomatosauce like cheap store-bought instead of real traditional francesinha sauce. The next day we went to another, local place Cafe Ceuta and the francesinha there was completely different with toasted bread, served wirh melted cheese and the sauce was also less tomato and a little bit spicier. The olives and cheese we had as starters were ok, the port wine was also not bad but not the...
