Rito — Restaurant in Porto

Forget all about those overpriced, annoying, crowded, touristy places. If you're going to Rito you'll experience that neighbourhood authentic Portuguese cuisine. It all starts with Mr Fernando greeting you at the door. He is a delight to talk to. The kind of person you could talk to for hours. The place is small, just a handful of tables, but it makes all the more intimate. For the starters make sure you ask for "Queijo da Serra da Estrela" - a cheese made from sheep's milk. Amazing! Then it's time to go for the main course. Of course we asked Bacalhau (codfish) with vegetables. The portion for two is an excellent size and very delicately seasoned. Don't miss out on the "Vinho Verde" (though it literally translates as "green wine", it doesn't refer to the grape colour and it's actually a protected designation of origin. Vinho verde is a young wine that can only be produced on Minho Region). The service is so amazing that in our party there was a kid and Mr Fernando cut the meat into small bite size. When I'm back in Porto, I will certainly go back there for another...

It’s the place that makes you happy. Tasty food with attentive and heartwarming service at very reasonable price.

They do not have fixed menú. The menú on the day is full of variety,

The beef is tender and fried sausage is tasty. Fried fish with rice of tomatoes is also recomendable. It comes in a great quantity. Even a half size will surprise your stomach.

The waiters are so attentive and friendly. They always ask us if satisfied with taste. They are very good at speaking Spanish.

The dinner for two ppl costs between 20 and 25 euros including a bottle of house wine. You can save some 10 euros compared to restaurants nearby.

We had visited five times out of nine nights...

The restaurant was recommended by our Air bnb host. The place is nice despite the fact that TV is on constantly. The food however is very good and from what I saw very much reflects the region. The prices were total surprise to me ! I didn’t expect to eat that good for that kind of money, oh and we’re students so we’re talking very affordable. I totally recommend it for people who seek to try something local. P.s. Its not a touristy place so the menu is not translated and the waiters dont speak English very well but sheer amount of kindness and helpfulness made the whole experience very...
