The 35 Best Restaurants in Porto, Portugal | Eater
"Porto is still a city full of working-class restaurants, known as tascos. Opposite Praça de Carlos Alberto, Casa Expresso has hung on for decades serving the same dishes: beef liver with onions, deep-fried cod escabeche, and daily specials accompanied by boiled potatoes and fresh salads. Order a pitcher of the house wine to wash down your meal. Must-try dish: Rojão sandwich, chunks of pork marinated in garlic and white wine, served in a crusty roll, is one of the city’s most iconic bites." - Rafael Tonon
The best meal we had in Portugal. If you know you know good food, this restaurant is not to be missed.
The environment is rustic and lively and the service is prompt with great recommendations from the staff. We had the pork roll, soup with meat and blood (surprisingly amazing) and the homemade wafer cake for desert (which I wouldn’t normally go for but was recommended and incredible).
We’ll be coming back again tomorrow.

Still my favourite eat in all of Portugal.
This humble tavern serves a range of traditional Portuguese fare but the true star of the show is the slow cooked Rojoes.
I've been here multiple times now and it's the place I look forward to visiting most when I'm in Porto.
Expect a long wait for a table if you're coming for dinner especially if you're in a big group.
The best time to come is at the end of lunch service.
If I'm not just grabbing one of the face-melting Sandos I'm ordering a full portion of the stewed pork, a side of patas fritas and a couple of beautiful fried eggs.
All is accompanied by fresh crusty bread and a banging home made hot sauce.
There are multiple dining areas, one at the bar, one in front of the kitchen and main room.
The atmosphere is as local as it gets so expect to wait your turn.
Hopefully they don't stay closed for long!

Very fun vibe and ultra busy, you can try really authentic Portuguese food for a great price. The service was great and the beers were tasty. I loved my vegetable soup, it had nice chunks of cabbage and geeens swimming around. The French fries tasted really amazing! You might have to come early if you want a good seat, or even a seat at all.

We stopped here briefly during our day in Porto. After being recommended through Instagram reels, we had to check out what the rave was about this giant pork sandwich. It was delicious!!
The pork was insanely flavourful.

I was very happy to find out they have take-out option, the man at the counter was smiley, I got a hearty tummy-warming dinner of meat soup and tripe stew with rice, too much for 1 sitting, ate again for breakfast. Very satisfied

Authentic place recommended by serveral youtubers. It was well worth it ! The pork just melts in your mouth and the marinade that the meat is cooked in is so flavourfull ! This place is a must visit ! (And it was very affordable at 3,50€)

Don't be fool by the look of restaurant from outside, this is a hidden gem. Not only the foods are delicious and cost is absolutely reasonable. The owner and staffs are so nice. We went back twice during our trip and we cannot find anything that beats this place. Tip: Go for lunch or dinner. Opening time can be a little later than stated than Google and limited options in morning. And don't go too late for dinner (we went around 10pm), and some popular items were sold out.
