Taberna do Largo — Restaurant in Porto

I don't usually give this low a rating but think it's justified in this case as the service is absolutely terrible. We ordered the seasoned quail eggs, sardine pate, sandwich, blood sausage with caramelize apples, and shrimp. The quail eggs and pate came out first, after about 40 minutes. There was no seasoning on the quail eggs except parsley and olive oil which made the eggs well cooked but bland. The sardine pate was okay. The sandwich was Iberian ham and cheese which was again okay. The blood sausage with caramelized onions and apples was pretty good but not sure if it was worth a 1.15 hr wait. We didn't even get the shrimp because it was never written down in the order even though we pointed it out twice. We got the port wine tasting as well and flies landed in the wine almost immediately. Even by European standards, the service was very very slow. The food was not bad but the service and wait was 100% not worth it especially because we were the only people in here at one point and still were never served until after other guests...

❗overall ⭐⭐⭐⭐ nice position, good food, fair portions, friendly staff!

🧀 quejo no forno (7€) ⭐⭐⭐ i mean was melted cheese, nothing special 🥲

🌭alheira na chapa (5€) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ you could say that's only a sausage but no... that's THE sausage. i mean was amazing: tasty, juicy and filling! i mean who doesn't like sausages 😜

🍷 Porto (no ratings) just take the 3 Porto tasting (10€) but i think you won't regret it

🛋️ location ⭐⭐⭐⭐ nice position, love the street where it's located. a little too many people but i mea... we can't kill them 😂 the restaurant itself was plainly furnished, a little more would have been appreciated

👥 staff ⭐⭐⭐⭐ friendly and fast with...

The food was decent, we had a reservation for 8pm on a Sunday and there was a queue to get in we had a table at the back which was cosy and snug. The prawns cooked and uncooked both were great, the Portuguese authenticity is here. The service was super slow however, it took an hour to get a first dish which is tapas style and many dishes we ordered was uncooked so was confused as to this delay. There was loads of dirty dishes stacked on the table behind me waiting to go to the kitchen, and the pile increased during the night. This definitely took away from the nice ambience of the restaurant. Food is great but need 2-3 more waiting...
