Casa Guedes Rooftop

We had a great time here! Came on a Saturday night and it was quite busy still at 8ish. We were served by Jack who was fast, efficient and friendly. The food portion and taste was fantastic, great value for the price. We ordered the pork leg and the Portuguese style cod fish. The pork leg was especially yummy and the meat was fall off the bone.

​I’m giving this spot a 4-star rating, mainly because the overall experience and the staff's honesty really stood out. ​The Food: We started with a bolinho de bacalhau (codfish cake) as an appetizer, which was very tasty and well-made. For the main, I had the francesinha. It wasn't bad, but to be honest, if you are a francesinha purist, there are definitely better, more specialized spots for it in Porto. It’s a decent version, just not the best in the city. ​The Highlight: What really impressed me wasn't just the food, but the integrity of the staff. We made a mistake calculating the bill per person and ended up overpaying. We wouldn't have even noticed the error, but our server was honest enough to point it out and correct it immediately. ​The Verdict: Come for the codfish cakes and the rooftop atmosphere. It’s a great place to hang out, and you can trust that you're in good hands with the staff!

Local place with local tastes. I tried few dishes for the first time, that is why ı have no chance to compare: Francesinha traditional is good, the souse was a bit like tomato soup. Coxinha Frango is good, it was chicken and cheese, nice to start with a basic one if you will try first time. We also tried basic tastes: Papas Bravas was very nice, especially the spicy souse was very delicious. Pimentos Padron was so fresh. Polvo was not so good, it was a bit cold. Picanha Brasil was so-so, it was a bit dry, not so juicy. The place was fully booked, but we waited only 5 minutes, and they arranged the table for us very quickly. If you want to try traditional dishes in Porto,here is very nice restaurant..

Perfect restaurant in Porto to try traditional Portuguese cuisine. Prices are reasonable and although they’re always very busy they sit you down quickly and you don’t have long to wait for your food. Definitely worth the hype!

Quite disappointing. The steak was cold, the burger was plain, the fish was too salty and I asked them 3 times to bring our fries and some lemon. The restaurant looks nice, but it doesn't matter when you are hungry and the food is below any expectations. I would never recommend anyone to choose this place and I won't return. Unfortunately, the food only looks nice.

Casa Guedes absolutely lived up to the hype — one of those Porto spots where you take one bite and immediately get why people keep recommending it. We came hungry and left very happy. The star for me was the pork (pernil) sandwich: insanely tender, juicy meat with that slow-roasted flavour, and the cheese melting into everything so perfectly that every bite felt rich but still balanced. Simple idea, executed at a level that’s honestly hard to beat. We also tried the francesinha and it was a full-on comfort-food masterpiece — gooey cheese blanket, a perfect runny egg on top, and that warm, savoury sauce that you just want to scoop up until the plate is spotless. Add the crispy fries on the side and it’s game over. Even the snacks were great — the croquettes/rissois-style bites were crunchy outside, soft and flavourful inside, and disappeared way too fast. On top of the food, the place has a fun, lively vibe and the service was quick and efficient (especially impressive when it’s busy). If you’re in Porto and want something iconic, satisfying, and genuinely delicious: Casa Guedes is a must.

I had the shrimp risotto and the soup sandwitch with ham, sausage and steak, native of Porto. The shrimp risotto was quite good with a good amount of shrimp. The soup sandwitch was perhaps an acquired taste, a bit on the saltier side and with sour dough bread that was soaked with soup -- probably a feature. Had a soup with potato and kale which was a good filler before the main course. The restaurant was very busy at around 1pm on a sunday, and service was understandably slower. Interior is functional and a bit on the older side.

A really lovely restaurant with kind and attentive staff. The local dishes were delicious, and our waiter, Matheus, was exceptionally helpful. He spoke excellent English and provided clear information about allergens, making our experience even better. The place was a bit crowded, and we had to wait a few minutes to get in, but it was absolutely worth it.
