Rogério do Redondo — Restaurant in Porto

Favorite place during 3 week visit. They had traditional dishes I thought I can find everywhere but only found here.

Went twice, it was fantastic both times.

Didn't write down the names of dishes in Portuguese for dinner. -Small fried sardines (or maybe it was some other little fish) appetizer. This is not the same fried sardine you see everywhere and a mess to eat, no need to clean this from bones or guts, just eat the whole thing. -Octopus served in a pot with sauce and mash potatoes on the side as a main. Octopus was amazing in almost every restaurant but this was the best.

For lunch Tripas à Moda do Porto - look up what it is.

4 euro white house wine per glass with very healthy pours.

They do bring you couvert (could range from 3-11 euro), just say no thanks and pick what you want instead. It sucks that some places do this without asking, but thats normal, just know that it's coming and...

This restaurant was recommended to us by the local owner of the AirBnb where we were staying, so we had high hopes. In summary, I would not go there again.

First of all, the restaurant host acted all snobby. No smile on the face. Asked if we had a reservation, and only with some hesitation were we seated. So, we felt unwelcome to start with. And no, we we weren't poorly dressed or anything like that.

The food was very ordinary. Absolutely nothing special about it. The quality of the service or food most certainly doesn't warrant the stuck up attitude of the staff.

We made the best of our visit between ourselves, but I would not go back, and would not recommend it...

Food was pretty good, but random expensive pricing for things not ordered made the experience unpleasurable. Had some great cod carpachio. Shrimp with black noodles was also very good. T-bone steak was 91 Euro, two tiny containers of butter for bread was 2 x 3 Euro, dried meat with cream cheese already on table, another 20 Euro. We thought it was free. Final bill was double for any dining experience we had previously and we didn't have any wine or beer. Owner of restaurant was very helpful in translating into English. Service staff was very accommodating. Beware of "free" food items already on your table....
