Culto ao Bacalhau

Culto ao Bacalhau is a fantastic spot for anyone who loves Portuguese cuisine and, of course, cod! The service was outstanding—our server was so friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was also great, with a warm and inviting feel. The food was good overall, but after a few dishes, the focus on cod became a bit overwhelming. Still, it’s a great restaurant, and I highly recommend it if you’re a big fan of the ingredient.

Stunning restaurant in the market. We had the cod fillets to start and the steak and cod and prawns as the mains and it was delicious and just perfect! I’m amazed by this place. Ask for port at the end and witness the huge bottle. Wonderful service too. Fantastic!

Huge let down. The food was very mediocre for how much it cost. Water costs as much as a glass of wine. Service was terrible. I’m not sure if the waiter was a little standoffish towards me because I was a solo diner or for other cultural reasons. I saw him talking warmly and explaining dishes to other parties but not me. He was sarcastic and abrupt with me. When I asked for the bill, he forgot about it. I was patient and waited 15mins then I saw him getting into the lift across from the market. Definitely not worth it. At all.

If Porto has a temple dedicated to codfish (bacalhau), it's Culto ao Bacalhau. This restaurant takes Portugal's most iconic ingredient and elevates it into an unforgettable dining experience. Every single dish we tried was creative and delicious. Cozy modern atmosphere, great wine list, and super friendly and professional staff. We are looking forward to going back to Culto ao Bacalhau on our next trip to Porto.

What a beautiful dinner. Attentive service. We came for the cod and were not disappointed. Be aware that the location is on the top floor in the corner and you must enter from within the building.

Food is extremely overpriced. Very poor menu, mostly contains cod fish as a base. Awful so-called “sponge cake”, it’s not sponge at all, it’s disgusting and undercooked. We tried almost all the menu, and pretty nice was only octopus salad (if it was octopus without salad). The service, though, was very good, but it was a very bad idea to go there and spend that amount of money for so bad tasting experience. You should think twice if you still want to go there. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all.

I had an amazing dining experience at Culto Ao Bacalhau. We arrived right as the lunch crowd was leaving, so the restaurant was quiet. From start to finish, everything was excellent. Our server, Anderson Filipa, was outstanding — knowledgeable, attentive, and made great recommendations. I ordered the Bacalhau, which was lightly fried then oven-roasted — the flavors were outstanding. My dinner companion had the medium-rare steak, and it was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Anderson also suggested a white wine that paired beautifully with the meal. We finished with a decadent sponge cake that was the perfect ending. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, and the chef’s opening gift — fresh bread with accompaniments including a delicious crushed olive dip — was a lovely touch. Truly a five-star experience. It’s no surprise they’ve earned their Michelin star. I highly recommend!

The food here is absolutely amazing! We had the cod au gratin which was really tasty and very filling, and the 🍅 tomato and tuna 🐟 salad 🥗which was very fresh and delicious. The service was excellent and the restaurant has a warm ambience. 💡
