Borboleta

Great place. The food is very tasty and completely different from the usual. Well cooked and well presented. An explosion of flavors. The garden is lovely and has a great vibe. The ideal place for a slow lunch on a nice summer's day. The staff are attentive and friendly. I recommend it 100%

Delightful spot for an outstanding lunch, especially in the quiet and peaceful garden. The rosemary focaccia was delightful with wonderful marinated olives. But the highlight was the most perfect octopus I've ever had. The pan seared calamari was almost as good.

One of the best meals I've ever had. Everything was amazing, the atmosphere, the service, but especially the food. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the ingredients were harvested the day we ate, everything was so fresh. It also feels like an authentic, but adventurous take on typical Portuguese cuisine. Don't miss out on this gem if you are in Porto!

Great food, great place, great service. The kitchen is a somewhat fusion and we recommend sharing the food to taste the variety of dishes. Menu looks simple but the food is really refined. We enjoyed the garden with some great cocktails to start. What impressed me was the focus on local suppliers and the knowledge and kindness of the staff. The restaurants name means butterfly, and that truly is what you get after every bite. Butterflies!

We had the most delicious dinner at Borboleta! We got the eggplant hazilim dip, grilled harissa chicken and the beef and lamb kabobs to share between the two of us and ate every last bite, it was the perfect amount of food! I ordered the N/A Aperol Spritz and my mom got the N/A beer and we enjoyed them both very much. Highly recommend!

Very cute restaurant! Nice Open kitchen. The somelier know her product very well and is passionate. Wine were amazing. The food was delicious. We shares many dish everything was on point and so flavofull. Amazing restaurant.

I can’t understand the bad reviews here. This place is great! Good wine and knowledge about it. I tried the chef’s fish tasting menu and was not disappointed. Great salmon strawberry tartare, tender and delicious octopus and a lime pie to die for. Paired with their home made limoncello for which I tried desperately to get the recipe 😁. Overall maybe a bit pricier than other places on the region but in my opinion not at all beyond reason. Go for it - you won’t be disappointed!

Wow this is an absolute gem !!! We had such a wonderful time at Borboleta. The food was outstanding, simply presented and delicious. The stand out dishes for us were the bruschetta (what a surprise) and the cauliflower with cranberries and mint. The service was very welcoming and friendly and our food arrived quickly. Borboleta is a small neighbourhood restaurant so you feel like you're eating with locals. It has a very open kitchen so you get to experience the chefs cooking like you're in their home. Thank you for an amazing time and we will be back next time we're in Porto.
