Cozinha das Flores

We had our best meal in Porto here! The ambience was warm and lovely. The dishes were top quality, a rendition of refined local cuisine. We loved that each dish was carefully and thoughtfully explained to us. To top it off, Pamela attended to us in such a friendly and helpful manner. We felt very welcome thanks to her. Can’t wait to visit when we are back and definitely would recommend dining here!

Every once in a while, you come across a restaurant that truly blows your socks off—and this was one of those experiences. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was exceptional without being intrusive. We both ordered the filet, and it was absolutely outstanding—perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. Every bite melted in the mouth, easily one of the best steaks we’ve ever had. The sides complemented the dish beautifully, and the presentation was elegant. It was a dining experience we won’t soon forget, and we’ll definitely be returning.

Totally knocked out by our meal here - definitely our favorite in Portugal. We got hit after hit but stand outs were the local spider crab donut, the seafood rice (underrated), the alentejo pork, and the florinha dessert. The service and ambience were impeccable too. This restaurant definitely deserves a Michelin star

A must-go in Porto! We really enjoyed all about Cozinha das Flores: The staff is super friendly with a high standard of hospitality. The food is excellent and has a broad palette of flavors. The chef has so much attention for every dish. The wine advice was perfect, all Portugese wines that matched the dishes. It was a treat and we felt very welcome. All in all an unforgettable experience, we will definitely be back!

This place was such a random find! Just happen to walk in and we were so pleasantly surprised. The ambience, the food, the wine, service everything was just perfect! We relished every bite of our meal. And watching the chefs at work was a bonus. Highly recommend this restaurant!!

Enjoyable dinner overall. The bite size starter dishes (I tried three) were creative and interesting, though missed the mark slightly on flavour — more conceptually clever than delicious. I had the John Dory for my main, which was good, but I definitely had food envy when I saw the beef fillet being served nearby — I’d recommend going for that instead! Service was warm, although I was forgotten about at the end and could have walked without paying (I didn’t!). Still, staff were friendly and the space was immaculate, with great attention to detail in the food. Worth a visit. Bill €130 1 person / 3 courses & 2 drinks

Hands down my favorite restaurant. The consistently delicious food and outstanding service are what keep me coming back. The ambiance is warm and stylish, and I love being able to see into the kitchen and watch the chefs at work. It adds something special to the entire experience. We always start with a few of the snack dishes. The spider crab donuts are a must — light, flavorful, and the perfect way to begin the meal. We like to explore the other snacks too, and one standout has been the crispy laminated dough with cockles, which bursts with flavor and texture. For starters, the smoked squid from the Azores with chickpeas is always a favorite. It’s rich, perfectly cooked, and full of depth. The asparagus options tend to be lighter and refreshing, offering a nice contrast to the bolder flavors. When it comes to main dishes, the John Dory and grilled beef fillet are both beautifully prepared and reliably excellent. That said, I find myself returning to the wild blue fish and pork shoulder steak. They’re both unique, flavorful, and absolutely worth trying. If you’re dining with a group, the tomato and blue lobster rice is a fantastic shared dish — generous and deeply satisfying. Dessert is not to be missed. The Milk dessert is one of the most creative I’ve had. It captures the essence of sweet milk in multiple forms, and it’s delicate, not overly sweet. On our latest visit, we also tried the cherry stone ice cream. The cherries had just the right amount of tartness, making it a refreshing and memorable way to end the meal. Some items change with the seasons, but the menu is always balanced and full of inspired choices. We love bringing friends and family here because we know they’ll experience the same incredible food and service we always do.

We had a really great dinner experience! The food and wine were superb and so was the service. The food was original and tasty but not overcomplicated. Thr restaurant has a very high quality finish and despite sitting next to the kitchen, we didn't smell of food and it wasn't laud. It was probably one of our highlights when visitng Porto and will come back when we visit again.
