Restaurante Nhac Nhac — Restaurant in Porto

Our food took a long time to arrive, the waitress said her apologies which was nice. What left me very upset was when we were trying to pay. She was working alone and we waived her over to ask for our bill at the same time as another family who walked over to pay for theirs. For some reason the restaurants card terminal machine wasn’t working so after a long wait in a place with no air con, the waitress walked downstairs and the payment for the family finally went through. We waited for a long time to try to pay even though we were the first ones who got her attention. So our meal she apologised for the food being late which is fine, but being rude to us when we were first to pay is not okay. Her reason is if her attention is with the person paying her attention is theirs and she’s working alone, if that’s the case maybe the restaurant is understaffed if shes upsetting customers and leaving a terrible impression for tourism in Portugal. The restaurant is nicely decorated with such poor customer service...

Lovely place to stop and admire the scenery whilst walking from Foz to Porto downtown or just if you're in the area.

They have an interesting Italian inspired menu. I had the boar meat croquettes and a salmon pizza which were very tasty. Heineken on tap available too.

The restaurant overlooks the river and the tables are right behind the tram tracks, so every few minutes the tram comes whizzing past which makes for an exciting experience. It's in a quieter part of the street (Rua d Ouro), so aside from some light traffic and the odd tram passing through, it's a very peaceful spot to sit, relax and enjoy a meal with a view of the Douro river.

P.S. I was hoping to catch the ferry nearby across to Vila Nova de Gaia but unfortunately ferry not in service. Hopefully this changes...

If you are looking for a cozy place for dinner or lunch, with good Italian food with a Portuguese touch. A place with a view of the douro and Gaia, Nhac Nhac is the place to go. You definitely have to try the spinach and cheese for the start. Never had it before, but it was surprisingly good. The stuff is welcoming.

I will recommend you to get a reservation, as the restaurant is small, I can't count 10 tables. I was lucky to be seated as soon as we arrived, as the evening was just started and the place got filled up later.

Try on the caramel tarte for dessert, it is...
