Golden Catch

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...

Very good restaurant with a stunning view of the bridge, attentive service, and tasty food. Highly recommend!

I ate here for a group banquet with a choice of cod fish and vegetarian Wellington. I chose somewhat poorly with the Wellington. The lemon dessert was pretty good. The location of this restaurant is great, though, and the view off the outdoor plaza overlooking the river and Porto is lovely.

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 had a last minute recommendation to grab dinner at Golden Catch. I was worried that we couldn’t get a table. 7:30pm was booked, so I choose an 8pm reservation. We got there early, and found that it was largely empty. We were sat immediately. Our server was fantastically friendly, joking with our distracted son. We ordered the couvert - dinner roll was a hit, the cornbread not so much, olives and butter compound were great. I ordered the sea bass, tasty but small, that sat on mashed potatoes, which was a favorite for me and my wife. My wife ordered the rump (beef) medium rare. Like most steak lovers, we can be particular. The beef wasn’t seared much, not enough seasoning, a little too chewy. With some salt and pepper brought to the table, I though it was a decent steak. My wife didn’t like it. My son ordered the spaghetti from the kids menu. He LOVED it, and declared it to be his 2nd most favorite meal ever.

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!

I generally avoid tourist areas, but this area is interesting with FAR fewer crowds then on the other side of the river. The fish and chips was fresh, not salted cod. We enjoyed it!
