Salve Simpatia Porto — Restaurant in Porto

A Portuguese/Brazilian restaurant with a twist. It's a nice restaurant with an unusual decoration. The group ordered a mix of dishes, ranging from tapas to burgers. There were a few dishes delicious and others quite disappointing.

The croquettes "Costela de Vitela" and "Feijoada Brasileira" were really good. I highly recommend the croquettes!!

The "Moelas Bohemia" were extremely salty and I struggled a lot to eat them.

The "Batata Frita Gratinada" was a completely disappointing. They arrived very soggy and they looked very unappealing.

The burgers were just okay. Clearly superior to a burguer from any fast food restaurant but was missing that wow factor.

And finally, the desert. We ordered the Taça Ferrero but the only thing that struck us was the size of it! Loads of chocolate but nothing special about the flavour...

In summary, I found the restaurant to be a bit pricey, given the quality...

I feel bad leaving this terrible review as the waitresses did work really hard and were clearly very low in numbers but the end result was that the customer suffered. We waited 45 minuets to get our drinks (including water) and well over an hour for food. The starters were good, but the mains were cold, very cold, and the very generous portion sizes didn't fit on the table meaning we had to play plate jenga and place wine bottles and things on the ground. I'm also pretty sure they ran out of bottled water and refilled our bottles with tap (which isn't a problem) but they charged us for bottled water. Over all it was very disappointing. Would not return. Worse meal I've had in porto sadly. But I must say the girls did work really hard, it's just unfortunate they had an...

The feijoada is terrible, there's no love in it, there was common grocery store sausage in it, no fats, no meat, a "light" feijoada for tourists, and very watery.

The pastel is good, nothing else to say about, regular.

No table service, have to read the QR code in the table to get something, no explanations beforehand.

Beer is terribly expensive for the region, and repeating errors on low quality ingredients for food.

It's more like an expensive tourist trap with 2 table servers and 1 kitchen worker, so bad for the size (50 minutes for a plate).

Don't recomend it for the price and low effort, cheap trap for brazilians and strangers alike.

Spend you...
