I really like this restaurant and was so pleasantly surprised that a good Vietnamese restaurant is in Porto. The place is gorgeously decorated. It has Apple, outdoor seating and intimate indoor seating. It has a fill the Villa versus your typical restaurant. The food is amazing. The shrimp summer roll with avocado was absolutely delicious. The peanut sauce was some of the best peanut sauce I've ever tried- I typically don't like peanut sauce. The fish sauce was also exceptionally well done. We had the mango salad with shrimp and we both thought it was amazing. The mangoes were fresh and ripe. The shrimp was done just perfectly. My only disappointment was in the pho. Pho, unfortunately the noodles were either overcooked or frozen then defrosted incorrectly. The broth didn't seem all homemade to me. It struck me as partly supported by bouillon cubes or the like, versus 24 plus hours on a beef bone. The soup didn't come with your requisite bean sprout and and other vegetables. Perhaps that's a function of the supply chain into Porto, which is understandable. All the service is excellent and some of the best service I've experience at a Vietnamese restaurant. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable and fast. The outdoor seating in the back was intimate, maybe romantic. I sat under a tree that look like a lime tree. Overall, I would definitely come back here again. This is the second best Vietnamese restaurant I've ever been to, outside of Vietnam. And I've been to over 40 countries and probably had Vietnamese food in maybe 15 or 20.

This wonderful Vietnamese restaurant opened its doors April 2019. I was in Vietnam October and arrived here craving an alternative to the Portuguese diet. She does an excellent job. I had the Obama bun cha, so named because of a bun cha restaurant in Hanoi where Anthony Bourdain took Barack Obama (At that location, the table they dined is now encased in a glass box.) Her version is rich and complex, better than the one in Hanoi. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. My waiter was a Brit ex-pat, and he was a blast to chat. He gave me some great advice about finding an apartment, because I might move here if Trump is re-elected. Politics aside, the restaurant is well appointed with memorabilia from Vietnam. One wall depicts street life in Ho Chi Minh City. I had an imported Vietnamese green tea. Vietnamese coffee was on the menu, and I am sure she could make a mean ca phe trung, the Vietnamese egg coffee. I will return here before I leave Porto.

Been here 3 times so far. Excellent food! The eggrolls are different and delicious, hard to explain, more like "home made" than manufactured I guess? I had pho everytime, and last Visit also had bùn chà (not sure of spelling) you also can get some of the exported version of Saigon beer, which helped me remember my visit to Vietnam 2 years ago. The owner's wife is from North Vietnam so their dishes/pho follows that regional style. Staff: is very friendly. Space: i think you can have maybe 20 people max in the restaurant, they have 2 areas. All in all, a place I like to come back when I want some Vietnamese food here in Porto. And if i was in Portugal and I had to have some Vietnamese food, this would be the place too.

Ingredients of the summer rolls were well balanced and tasty. Beef pho's broth was delicious but the beef slices were just a little thicker than those you usually get in Vietnam. It would be great if the optional condiments had included some bean sprouts as well. Bo bun was refreshing and appetising. Vietnamese dessert was a tapioca paste (sago) with peanuts and coconut shavings - it wasn't too sweet so to my liking. Some of the reviews here mentioned about the poor service but I think they were just unfortunate. The waiter for my table was very helpful and kept checking that everything was OK. I did notice another relatively inexperienced waiter who was perhaps still familiarising with this new job.

This restaurant adds the charm and coolness to the beautiful Porto! I am a foodie and I have to say, Dishes made at this restaurant are probably one of the most authentic Vietnamese foods I have tried outside of Viet Nam. I can taste the quality and freshness of the ingredients used. The portions are generous compared to the price paid. The outdoor sitting upstairs is great for pre-dinner drinks. Very happy with the service as well. Chris is attentive and the owner Fabio is a real cool guy! Very happy I found this resto in Porto! Great place for both romantic or family hangout! Highly recommended!

I ate here twice during a recent trip to Porto and had a great experience both times, once alone and once with a friend. Reasonably priced, delicious food in a lovely environment. The back garden is a relaxing place for a summer dinner. Drinks were delicious and not too large. Mojito was full of fresh lime and mint and just sweet enough. Lots of vegetarian options as well as non-vegetarian dishes that are full of vegetables. After 10 days of meat centric restaurant meals in Porto, I was really happy to have so many vegetable options.
