Really disappointing experience. All the plating looks awesome, but I guess looks can be deceiving. The squid on a skewer was mushy and poorly cooked. The seafood rice was a mess — salty mussels, undercooked rice, and mushy prawns. Even the sangria tasted more like medicine than wine. Worst of all, the server didn’t ask a single question when they cleared our plates, which were still full of food. No curiosity, no care. Not a place I’d return to or recommend.

We visited this restaurant because we were able to use our credits from The Fork, and we are so glad we decided to do so! First, the view from the terrace was incredible and our table got to overlook this fabulous view for the entire meal. Next, the service was fine dining quality! Finally, the food was so delicious. We got a lot more food than we normally would have because of the credits, and I’m so glad we were able to try a variety! I highly recommend everything we ordered, but especially the sea bass - those truffle mashed potatoes were the best thing I’ve ever eaten!!

Came for dinner around sunset, pretty empty on a Saturday. Octopus was over cooked and had some slimey skin on it. Beef - dont know what kind of cut of meat it was, it wasn't good. Fries were eh and salad was OK, but I think they put salt in it. Wine pour was a little light. Service wasn't as bad as some reviews mention. I think theres better places out there. Atleast the view was nice...

Rather upscale touristic place. It's a great place to eat fish in the city, though. The view is fantastic, too. Try the sparkling sangria, it's phenomenal. Service could be better, though. Maybe we were just unlucky, but we had to remind our service staff regularly of missing sides, drinks, etc. A bit on the expensive side by Porto standards, but still very affordable from a tourist point of view.

We saw Golden Catch the first time we walked around WoW and ate at Root & Vine next door to it. We wanted to come back for the sunset view of the city. There are plenty of tables indoor and outdoor with a spectacular view of the city and Ponte Luiz. The server offered the excellent balinhos de bacalhau (fish cakes) as an alternative to bread and olives. We saw many raving reviews for sea bass served with truffle oil mashed potatoes, which we must echo the voices. We also ordered a rump steak. So tender and no need for any sauce. For desserts we ordered a Golden Cup, which was one of the best sundae ice cream we ever had and a curd cheese cake, served with pumpkin jam and mandarine sorbet. Very happy with this meal indeed!

The view is great, even better if you sit outside. The food is good. We had the skewers and the cod and both were great. Not the cheapest option in the city but its definitely worth a try.

What a great spot! We were looking for a refuge from the rain and a bite to eat before going wine tasting and this was perfect. We ordered the prix fixe lunch menu which was 3 courses for around 20€… excellent and so worth it! Would recommend this location even if you don’t want to do the wine museums. There is a beautiful view of Porto from the terrace.
