Casa Viúva

Perfect traditional and local cuisine. I had the best lunch here, with a classic sopa that was amazing, and the grilled fish with the best fresh French fries. Atmosphere and service was just excellent.

Overall, considering the price of each dish, the flavour stands out. We would definitely come back. The vegetable soup was well seasoned. By keeping the potato base lighter and less heavily puréed, the vegetables were able to balance the soup, resulting in something that read as a genuine vegetable soup rather than a potato soup with vegetables folded in. The grilled codfish had a crisp exterior, yet the fish itself was juicy. The sides, which included some potatoes, lettuce, and shredded carrot, were pretty straightforward, but the focus of this dish was clearly the codfish. The tripe was pleasantly chewy. It felt like the tripe and beans had been stewed for a long time, as the flavour was rich and concentrated.

Love this restaurant, super cosy & cute. Very homely. But super crowded! Service was fast too considering only 1 staff manning the restaurant . I love the fish! Highly recommend:)

Excellent food and amazing staff. I had a dorada grilled and that was AMAZING. I've loved everything about this place and couldn't recommend more. Please go and enjoy as I did!

Walking around Porto, there are hundreds of restaurants so it’s hard to pick one, we used Google at past many restaurants with pretty outside seating. This one is very simple and you could tell it’s good because it was crowded. There’s one person working in the entire room to perfection, he is efficient and on top of things and it feels like you are part of an event. Where we sat, we could see to older women cooking. The food was simple yet delicious portions were perfect and if we were staying here longer, we would come back . You do have to pay in cash and we highly recommend this understated but delicious restaurant filled with locals. Californians.

I love this restaurant - simple traditional menu. Mixed with local frequent visitors and tourists. Service is fast and good. Food delicious and price is reasonable. Would love to go back to try more!

This place seems to be a local institution with a lot of buzz, so we were excited to try it. The food was good—flavorful and clearly made with care. However, for all the hype, it fell a little short of being a truly memorable meal. It's a decent spot, but maybe a bit overrated in my opinion. A solid option, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it again.

Awesome, traditional Portuguese food with no frills. We really enjoyed our meal. The owner was awesome and was serving 12 tables (a full restaurant) and did not break a sweat. He went above and beyond for my boyfriend as well giving him an extra dish to try! We would come back the next time we are in Porto.
