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.

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!

Amazing restaurant in the heart of Porto. The dishes are all amazingly tasteful, with different and unexpected combinations. The room is lively, with an open view to the kitchen and dishes being prepared in the moment by the chefs. Would definitely recommend and will come back for another wonderful experience.

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

We couldn’t have chosen a better restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The team was extremely attentive and we felt very well taken care of. We loved the open kitchen and seeing the chefs work in a calm environment. Our favourites were the sweet prawn and steamed egg cake, the steak and the warm turnip green salad 🦐 🥩 🫜 Best steak we ever had 🙌🏼 Cocktails were amazing too and very unique

After numerous recommendations from friends and chefs alike, we've been meaning to visit Cozinha das Flores for a long time. After seeing the reviews, I decided to adjust my expectations. However, after having tasty cocktails, finding the interior design (especially the cooking area and the lighting) impressive, and being served the first starter (bulhão pato) I knew that our experience would exceed my expectations. We were very surprised by how balanced all the dishes were and that for once a Portuguese restaurant was not scared of serving dishes with a kick to it. The seafood rice with lobster was exceptional - among the best we've had in Porto - distinguished by its unique citrus notes. Out of, bulhão pato, turnip natas, smoked squid, local green asparagus, blue lobster wet rice and the salad as a side dish, the only under seasoned dish was the asparagus (it lacked salt). While the food deserves high praise, the service had inconsistencies. We experienced a somewhat chaotic approach without a dedicated server and faced lengthy waits for wine and our first course. However, the sommelier who assisted us was incredibly kind and single-handedly elevated our service experience. I'd highly recommend it for its outstanding culinary offerings, though it's worth adjusting service expectations.
