ZA IN PORTO — Restaurant in Porto

Please try this place. This place is the Crown Jewel of all seafood restaurants in Europe. TRY THE OCTOPUS RICE. Tomato based soup, rich broth with plenty of octopus. Bay leaf and parsley add finesse. It is not only for your taste buds, but also for your soul. The fried octopus fillet that comes with the rice is insaane. Chews like cod and chicken but has a scent of octopus. How is this even possible? What kind of sorcery is the chef practicing????? The Grilled Cod is SO GOOD. Not like inferior American restaurants that simply roast every ingredient they have with cheap oil salt and pepper. This place serves oven roasted cod that has both firm and soft texture at the same time. Is this even possible mother of jesus. Springy flesh goes perfectly well with the crispy skin. The firm/soft flesh is only possible when the fish is fresh, not frozen.

Try the chicken soup too. I thought Korea has the best chicken soup but the chef here is making me betray my own country. Adding broken egg yolk to the chicken soup was a brilliant idea. Hats off to the chef. Please keep cooking.

We ate 2 chicken soup, glass of port wine, sparkling water, grilled cod, octopus rice, and dessert. But the bill was 67.25 euros. The only thing the chef is missing is business / pricing strategy. The food deserves higher price.

The owner(maybe the chef himself) serves and takes order. He is very...

The food was good/average and plentiful. Service was friendly and attentive. What miffed me is that they charged us for the bread, butter, and even the plane-style individual portion of melted cheese that were laid on the table without request on our part. Also, side dishes are extra. We ended up paying close to 40 euros between three people (no starters and water only). I had the standard Portuguese fare of sauceless grilled fish with a side of traditional potatoes and found it a little bland though I suppose it's meant to be that way. A friend had the seafood pasta praised in another review and I found it OK. The place has a cozy and comfortable atmosphere but the lack of wow flavor-wise and the slightly tricky pricing tactics put me off. There's equally tasty food around for less, so your money is likely to be better spent elsewhere unless perhaps if you're looking for a slightly upscale place to take a date or...

A very gOod restaurant that you must try while staying in Porto. It's very well situated in the city centre and was not far away from our hotel, a really noce cozy one. We found it through searching and we glad that we entered in despite being the first clients which seems awkward at the first. The gentleman who received us was very kind and welcoming. He communicated with us in english so there was no problem in that. I ordered a chicken soup which was awesome and surprised me. My fiancé started with a red wine which was satisfying. Then he ordered his main meal " Prego Em Prata" and I must admit it was really nice. For the dessert we had " gâteau de maison" which also surprised us. The washrooms were clean and smelled nice too. So its a pity that I cannot give it more than five stars. I hope you also enjOy this restaurant as...
