Just had a fantastic evening at this restaurant. Location and views are outstanding. The restaurant itself feels very special. The staff were welcoming and attentive without being evenly slightly intrusive. We were served a glass of port and a very tasty selection of bread, olives, cheese etc whilst we chose from the menu. Starters were delicious and the mains, black... More

Definitely stay for dinner after the tasting (or even come if you don't like port). Excellent food and service and great view. Just make sure to specify how you'd like your meat cooked. More

This restaurant is part of the Taylor/Fladgate Port premises. The port wine tour beforehand was most interesting. The port itself of course was wonderful. The dining room and the view from the terrace were first class. However the food was distinctly mediocre. Go for the ambience and interest, but don't go just for the food. More

Our hotel recommended that we eat at this restaurant on our recent visit to Oporto. The night we originally requested there was a wedding going on in their 'room with a view"; but we went anyway. We are so glad that we did. The wait staff was so attentive, we had their tasting room all to ourselves. A very private... More

Although a little pricy, the food was excellent. The crisp dry port was served at the beginning of the meal. Delicious biscuits/chocolate served with the coffee. More

We visited Porto by cruise so our time was short. We had lunch here and were not disappointed in any way. The service was wonderful. Our server suggested a number of items on the menu as well as a nice wine. All items were outstanding. The place has a wonderful view of the river and the town of Porto. We... More

Wow - Great food, wine and such good value! We stumbled upon this place after walking up to Taylor's in what seemed like a never ending hilly road on a wet friday afternoon. They were not busy so were able to accomodate the two of us. The menu has a lot of variety so there's something for everyone..Food was spot... More

Very bad service. Average food, not the quality or tasting we would expect from a good restaurant. The room have good conditions and you could eat with scenic views but this place have "no soul", and the service is not professional. More
