The Door

Beautiful restaurant with attentive staff and delicious food. Also, amazing local sparkling wine (photo attached). Thank you for creating relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Truly a hidden gem of Porto! Many thanks and greetings from Ukraine!

Came here for an early dinner without a reservation. Glad to discover this cosy little restaurant with friendly service and served good food via google reviews. Especially enjoyed the salad, refreshingly delicious with toasted nuts, zesty dressing giving each bite a well balanced of texture and flavour. The kitchen might have missed our beef tagliatelle order, which came much later after we checked with the server, having waited for this dish for sometime. Nevertheless, we had a lovely time here.

An excellent evening of great food, cocktails and conviviality...The vibe and the genuinely warm service by the friendly , mostly Argentine crew were matched by the excellence of the dishes coming out of the kitchen..I really enjoyed talking to Augustine and very much appreciated his efforts to find me a "bio " wine ( not my cup of tea) that I would enjoy...My wife and I tried several before settling on a couple we found acceptable. In contrast the cocktails were super... Bigboy pours of various flavoured gins that really hit the spot on a warm, sunny day. There wasn't a miss when it came to the menu. The oysters were as fresh and briny as they could be. The beef empanadas obviously made with love from someone who knew what they were doing. The foie with apple slices delicate and decadent... The nutty " Just a salad" substantial and flavorful... the plate of beef " tagliate" perfectly cooked and the toffee pudding at the end of the meal immense and absolutely delicious. I'm sure this will be a highpoint in our week here and we would happily return!

The staff here are very welcoming and friendly. However, the service has some snags when it gets busy. For a small restaurant, they have an impressive range for drinks, including signature cocktails. I went looking forward to eating exceptional food as many reviewers here had mentioned, but my experience was different. Every dish had a smoky flavour - not sure if this was intentional. The babaganoush was unseasoned. The empanadas took an hour to arrive. The plus was that they have vegan/vegetarian options that are not an afterthought. However, the vegan chorizo plate we ordered was burnt- pretty much every piece had a char. The French onion soup was flavourful, but missed out on consistency. The final touch with a ‘bite me’ brownie was nice. I wonder if I just went on a bad day. May give a try again and update this review. Reservation recommended.

Incredible little restaurant, one of the most attentive waiters I’ve experienced, was incredibly passionate about the food he was serving. Delicious wine and beautifully presented, well balanced dishes. One of the most memorable for sure.

We are visiting Porto and found this place by chance. The food was.. incredible. Everything was made with fresh ingredients, and the food had amazing flavors. Our server (Alan) went above and beyond. We had a great night and will be thinking about the food for a long time. It was a great experience! I highly recommend it!

Chef Pato and his team were able to accommodate us when we made reservations on the wrong date. The service team were very hospitable and provided exceptional service. Chef Pato worked the front of the house and greeted us at our table and made great conversation with us. We really enjoyed the empanadas, steak tartare, scallops and beef. The sparkling sangria was delicious and the best we have had in Portugal, flavored with mango and mint. The caramel sandwich for dessert was absolutely delicious made with Argentinian dulce de leche and biscoff. Highly recommend this place for the food, service and great hospitality while in Porto.

Great lunch spot for our day in Porto! Friendly, helpful server from sharp staff made this a great experience. Food was creative and delicious. Impressive flavors, interesting combinations, and exquisite presentation. A must have on your visit to Porto
