Restaurante O Comercial - Palácio da Bolsa

We booked this for four of us to celebrate a birthday while in Portugal. It’s a lovely space that reflects the history of the building. The food was excellent and the service was prompt. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal and I would recommend a visit if you wish to surround yourself with a more upmarket ambiance.

This spot was a little hard to find as our party didn't realize it was inside the church. Took us about 10 mins of circling to figure out it was a spot indoors without being labeled. The food was great (apart from the soup), service and the establishment is very beautiful. Staff were kind and great about recommendations. I would definitely try this place out for a very chic experience.

Beautiful Ambiente in the Palace antique Style, comfortable seats, relaxed atmosphere. Very friendly Service. We had the Lunch Menu, which was very good considering the prize of only 23€ for 3 course…included a Glass of wine, which was rather low Quality. The cod fish is NOT a local fish- it was deep frozen.

This restaurant is really a perfect restaurant with a palace vibe. It is located inside the Palacio da Bolsa, it is very intimate, quiet, I love the vibe! The service was amazing as well, the price was excellent. We took the Executive Set Menu of 3 course with wine, it was super good! We started with the cheese bread-ish, I forgot the name with a big portion of it, and then I had the risotto with octopus which was really good and comforting, and the dessert was my favourite, citron merinque with fruit sauce, the best! I would love to go back there when I re-visit Porto for sure!!

The restaurant is located inside the Palácio da Bolsa, which is an impressive building. Due to the ongoing Covid restrictions, there is a temperature control before entering the restaurant. The dining room is beautiful and lushly furnished. The view from the window seats is pleasant. At lunchtime, a 3 course set menu with wine and water is offered for 19€ which is a very good price for the surroundings and quality of food and service. Portions are quite big. The food is tasty. Service is professional. Definitely worth visiting.

Nice decor, good wine and friendly service. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing for this price point. First course - we ordered scallops and tuna tartar. The flavours were not particularly in sync - for example the tuna tartar has an overpowering taste of cinnamon and strong sour taste from the apples - both don't work very well with the tuna. The scallops come with a veg tart and sorbet which to us was an odd combination. The mains - scallop risotto and cod with bacon and spinach. The cod was very fresh, but the spinach egg base was nothing extraordinary. The risotto had the same mistake as the first courses - while the scallops were fresh and nice, the risotto was cooked with apricots which tasted out of place with the rest of the dish (shrimp, seafood stock, scallops). The dessert - the chocolate fondant was delicious and the cakes were okay. But... They were served on IKEA plates... Overall, it was an underwhelming dinner. The food was fresh, but the way it was cooked needs work.

We booked for lunch and were delighted with this restaurant. Located in the Bolsa Palace it's a great setting. There is a set menu at lunch or a l'carte. Our dishes were lovely, very well presented and you could tell they were freshly prepared. Service was very good and well paced. A great experience!

Fantastic fine dining in an amazing location: the old stock exchange Palace. The building adds to the elegant setting of the restaurant. The service is professional and friendly. Food is in the mid price range, beautifully presented and very tasty. All covid precautions are taken to guarantee your safety. Reservations are essential for this highly recommended restaurant.
