Restaurante e Churrasqueira Papagaio — Restaurant in Porto

BE AWARE OF THIS PLACE! We came from a recommendation for a dinner. Right away we saw written in the menu that all of the appetizers that are brought on our table are paid but only if we eat them. The waiter was bringing us the food that we didn’t order and encouraging us to eat it so we would pay more. The appetizers were tasty but the steaks that we ordered were not good.

The situation that left horrible aftertaste of this place was that we ordered two glasses of wine for 2.25 per glass. When we got our final check we saw 17€! extra charge.
