Restaurante Pombeiro — Restaurant in Porto

My favorite person and I recently visited this restaurant on a friend's recommendation. Unlike typical local spots, it had a modern feel, like a hidden gem.

Very friendly and helpful service, cosy atmosphere, delicious food with a sparkle of local culinary craft. Francesinha was made with a specially fragile puffy dough and nice distinct piquant sauce. We also had roasted lamb and pork, codfish with spinach and seafood with rice and spicy sauce. The prices are more than fair.
