"More than a food staple, rissol is a symbol of the popular culture in Portugal. The half moon-shaped savory snack is everywhere, from bakeries to restaurants, and it inspired Alexandra and Louis Druesne to open this French-inflected vintage-looking venue overlooking the charming Jardim de São Lázaro. After stints at fine dining restaurants in Paris (where they met), the couple elevated the beloved delicacy using organic flour and ingredients from the best producers in the country for the fillings. Traditional flavors include beef and fish, alongside more adventurous takes, like Thai green curry or truffles. Beyond rissóis, they also serve a delicious tomato brothy rice, french fries, salads, and other accompaniments." - Rafael Tonon

I visited Oficina dos Rissóis in Porto and had rissóis for the very first time. I didn't know what to expect, but I chose the veal option—and it was surprisingly delicious! Perfectly crispy on the outside and full of flavor. I also tried the mini pizzas, which were absolutely tasty and just the right portion. To finish, we had the chocolate mousse with hazelnut crumble, which was simply delightful—rich, smooth, and with a perfect crunch. Great place, cozy atmosphere, and friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Porto. Highly recommended!

Amazing food. IMO the Rissóis were just okay but they gave a spicy sauce and that was really spicy and amazing. The tomato soup and potatoes were superb and I would definitely recommend. Great vegetarian options. Also got a pudding at the end which was also perfectly balanced. Def sit at the counter inside to see your food get made– it's like a show!

We came for the Rissóis, and they were really yum. But beyond that, we found that Louis really knows how to cook delicious vegan food. We’re not vegan but loved the vegan beans, the tomato-rice, the chili sauce and the fermented veggies. The atmosphere is also very nice. We‘d definitely come back if we were in Porto.

The staff were incredible, the drinks were reasonable and refreshing in the sunshine. We ordered 3 Rissóis, tomato rice, a Za'tar and lemon pita and olives and it was the perfect amount of food and incredibly tasty! This is a perfect spot to try some classic Portuguese food whilst soaking up the Porto charm.

If you’re in Porto you have to come here! The rissóis are incredible and the chili sin carne is to die for. This is definitely a must-see restaurant. I recommend ordering more because the portions are quite small.

We opted for a stool at the bar instead of the outside are and we were not disappointed. Very friendly and helpful staff. Chill atmosphere and music. Food was great. 3-4 Rissois and 1-2 sides are more than enough for 2 people. Recommended yes!!!

I recently visited Oficina dos Rissóis in Porto and had a pleasant experience. The rissóis were good—not groundbreaking, but certainly satisfying. What really stole the show was the tomato rice, which was absolutely incredible and a must-try! The service was notably fast and the staff were friendly, adding to the overall charm of the visit. If you're in Porto and looking for a reliable spot, this place is worth checking out.

Small bar with great food. Excellent rissois! You sit down at the bar and order your drinks and food. Highly recommend the fries, especially with the hot sauce! We also enjoyed the Caesar salad. The port dessert parings were also excellent. Recommend the mousse and hazelnut crumble. Service was quick and attentive. menu available in English, Reasonable prices. Definitely recommend for a lunch or small dinner!
