Bistrô by Vila Foz

"An informal venture from the prestigious Vila Foz, in collaboration with the renowned chef Arnaldo Azevedo. Located in the Matosinhos Municipal Market, the place exudes authenticity, with a counter facing the stoves and tables spread out on the terrace, in the midst of the market hustle and bustle. The idea here is to offer simple, honest cooking, where the raw ingredients take centre stage and preparation involves minimal intervention to preserve the quality and freshness of the produce that arrives straight from the wholesale fish market. Diners can choose to buy fish or seafood at the market stalls and bring it to be prepared in the restaurant (chargrilled, fried, grilled, etc.), or select from the menu options. An interesting detail? The chef used to come here as a child to buy fish with his father for the family restaurant." - Michelin Inspector
