Wow, Wow, Wow! We visted here last Saturday and were lucky enough to walk in without a booking, although it was early in the evening before most people eat. Ricardo showed us to our table and from then on, we received the best service we have ever received in a restaurant. Ricardo helped with advising on a wine and gave a full explanation for how it would complement the food we were having. We ordered the cowboy steak to share and Ricardo showed it to us, explaining that they are simply cooked by flame, with salt. It was the most delicious steak we had ever eaten. We then had the vanilla slice with peanuts for dessert - it was so tasty and plenty for two to share. Whilst eating this delicious meal, we were able to observe the general functioning of the restaurant and Ricardo single-handedly managed to show guests to their tables, take orders, give explanations and have small, quick conversations as well as make all the drinks, without compromising on service or the over all experience. The environment is beautiful, very traditional, tucked away down a little side street and the atmosphere was very relaxed and gentle. All in all, we had an amazing experience! So good in fact, that we booked the sister restaurant Bota&Bira, just down the road the following weekend to finish our holiday. We were not disappointed - Ricardo performing just as well the second time around to create another wonderful meal and experience! He is a true asset and credit to the owners of these two beautiful restaurants! Thank you! We will hopefully be back in the future.

Now I know why its called Ribs instead of Steaks...Craving a nice piece of beef we thought we'd give these guys a try after reading the positive reviews... Alas the T-bone we were served didn't quite meet my expectations... This was the kind of steak my wife likes... Very lean slices ... while I prefer plenty of marbelling which is of course what gives it its flavor. While I appreciate that this was a nice sized T-bone , as well as locally sourced it didn't really hit the mark for me. If it had actually been grilled over an open fire that might have done the trick... or maybe not...Oven roasting didn't do it a lot of favors.. Ricardo THE WAITER is a great guy but obviously rushed off his feet dealing with a full house on his own.. Hence, it might be forgiven when he brought us a small mixed salad rather than the cole slaw we ordered... I later pointed out to him that when served in the ridiculous, tiny metal pan it was impossible to toss ... though lacking any sort of dressing this would not have helped anyway... He agreed a bowl might be more useful... The fries were very good! But don't believe him when he says one portion is enough for two hungry people... My wife loved her panacota and bottle of Crasto Superior red wine Ricardo recommended was excellent... So : If there is a next time I'll go for the ribs!

This was an exceptional experience from start to finish. PRICE The food was excellent and reasonably priced for the size of the cuts. They sell the meat by the piece rather than the weight, so it's easy to know how much you'll be spending. FOOD QUALITY The steaks were cooked extremely well and tasted great. Because some of the steaks are so big, you may want to share. Ricardo, our who looked after our table, was super accomodating and took into account one member on our table who wanted their steak cooked more than the rest. He dished out our portions and then took some back to the kitchen to cook more. Ricardo additionally showed the fridge where the meat is stored and displayed to us the piece we would be eating. He ensured to get the best piece, with a good amount of meat Vs fat. It's this kind of service that makes the meal priceless. SERVICE Ricardo, who looked after our table, was a delight from start to finish. He was very attentive to each individual persons needs at the table. He asked us which table we would like to have, showed us the meats we would be eating (and looked through to choose the nicest cuts amongst them), and recommended a very nice wine. While the food was great, I would recommend for the service alone. Obrigado Ricardo!!

I'm absolutely thrilled to share my incredible dining experience at this restaurant. From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the amazing food on offer. The value for money was outstanding, especially considering the mouthwatering steak and veal dishes we indulged in. Every bite was pure bliss, and we couldn't believe how reasonable the prices were.

The drinks were a true delight, not only in terms of taste but also in their exquisite presentation. Each sip was a treat for the senses, enhancing the overall dining experience. However, the true star of the evening was our waiter, Artur. His witty sense of humor and attentive service added an extra layer of enjoyment to our meal. He truly went above and beyond, making us feel like valued guests throughout the entire evening.

The vibes of the restaurant were infectious, reflecting the best parts of Portuguese culture. From the warm and welcoming ambiance to the lively atmosphere, every moment spent there felt like a celebration. It was a true immersion into the vibrant spirit of Portugal.

Since our visit, I find myself constantly craving the delectable food, yearning to go back for another unforgettable meal. And of course, I can't help but hope that Artur will be there to enhance our experience once again. His presence truly elevated the entire evening and made it even more special.

Based on my personal perspective, I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. The amazing food, great value for money, delicious drinks, and the exceptional service provided by Artur all contribute to an outstanding dining experience. It's a place where you can truly indulge in the best of Portuguese cuisine...

If you're looking for an excellent dining experience in Porto, then The Ribs should definitely be on your list of must-visit restaurants. I have been a regular patron of this restaurant for quite some time now, and I have never been disappointed.

First off, it's a small place, which means that you're likely to get an intimate dining experience. However, it's always recommended to make a reservation in advance as this place is quite popular. Once you're in, the ambiance is cozy and welcoming, perfect for a night out with friends or a romantic dinner for two.

Now, let's talk about the star of the show- the meat. The ribs here are to die for! They are cooked to perfection and melt in your mouth, leaving you wanting more. The quality of the meat is exceptional, and the flavors are delicious. If you're a meat lover, you will not be disappointed. They also have a good selection of sides that complement the meat nicely.

As for the prices, I find them to be quite reasonable for the quality of food and service you receive. While not cheap, it's definitely worth it for the quality of the meat and the overall dining experience.

In summary, if you're looking for a great restaurant in Porto, The Ribs is a must-visit. With excellent food, a cozy atmosphere, and friendly service, it's the perfect place for a delicious meal. Just remember to make a...
