Fresh fish shown right at the entrance and stove near the road where they will be baked. Nice environment, friendly service. Prices in the standards of other restaurants in the region (fish around 55,00 the kilogram), sardines (12,00), salads, accompanying, desserts, etc. Lunch without wine, close to 40,00 euros per person.

We have been in Matosinhos before, another restaurant, ten years ago . Yesterday we decided to try Palato and we did it right!! The service was great, quick and very nice. Our poor Portuguese language wasn’t an obstacle as the waiter began to speak with us in a perfect Spanish after he heard us talking among ourselves. They recommended grilled fish, and so we ordered. The most delicious sardines, to begin with, and then squids and shrimps, to end with a glorious sea-bass. So good and tasty !!!!! The desserts were also remarkable, like lime-cheesecake. To be fair, was not cheap. But if you want quality, it has a price, and we paid it gladly. I would like to get back some other day, hopefully soon

We sheltered from the rain and saw some fresh fish and decided to give this place a try. We had salmon and sole, both cooked beautifully and served with roasted potatoes. If the fresh fish is not used that day, the staff will eat it or use it in stocks or the seafood rice. All whole fish is fresh each day, which is great to hear. The fisherman were sat having lunch in the restaurant at the same time as us. I disagree with previous comments about price, when you are sharing fresh fish like this, cooked perfectly - it’s reasonably priced. We struggle to get quality like this in our local area anywhere near what we paid. Will return if we are ever back in Porto.

Deoracao turns and top employees! Bad food! The owner did not come to the table even being there and appreciating and knowing that the food was intragable and nobody ate! We were 7 px, my first and last time in this restaurant! Like the rest of the people in my group

We went here from Porto. There are many restaurants right on the water. This one made us feel like family! The fish is caught in the morning and by lunch it is grilled and served! All kinds of fish! Great area to walk around and have a great meal. Very inexpensive and the highlight of our trip!

A very cozy place, a very well kept meal and a delicious treatment. To start you can chop some dishes of fried fish or seafood and then grilled fish... to suck your fingers!!! I have eaten 3 times and all very well. Very good service.

Good food at reasonable price. The one in front was closed, where we had gone before, and we took a chance on this restaurant. We had some starters to share and a rice with drum (rape). Excellent. It also came at a reasonable price. Eating in Portugal is still a dangerous experience, it is difficult not to get the choice right.

A long weekend in Porto, a sunny Sunday and a great excuse to head to the coast. We had made a reservation and were warmly welcomed on a busy day. Order some wine and sit back and watch the action. Always fascinated by how you fillet a Turbot with 2 spoons. We has a selection from the menu including half a Turbot, which was the best ever, and sea bass. A great char on the outside and moist. After lunch, head to the beach and walk it off, hoping on a bus back to the city when you have had enough.

So our cabbie gave us a recommendation to come to this area in Porto (Rua dos Herois de Franca) which is actually a little bit north of Porto, for seafood. We came here on a Friday night and were eating just as all the locals were arriving. It is an authentic local place. The food is fresh. The service is great. Our meal was amazing. We had mixed grilled fish and have never experienced anything like it.

Above all, I would like to highlight Palato’s excellent service. Anastasia and Helder were above average friendly and polite. In other words, immediately surprised by the magnificent service. I don't want to devalue the rest: perfectly grilled squid, tasty and with good mashed potatoes. White wine at the correct temperature and I finished with an absolutely superb sea soup! Superb, I emphasize. To repeat, repeat, repeat and never get tired.

This was a great food experience! We had a large turbot grilled between 4 people and were amazed how delicious it was. The sides were top notch as well. No hesitation giving a 5 star review here. The service was excellent as well (thank you Anastasia)!

The food was absolutely delicious. The seafood is displayed in the window so you know what you’re getting. The restaurant has enough space for outdoor eating & indoor. The indoor space is elegant and simple. It was relatively busy and the waiters were still very attentive. I had the octopus that is freshly grilled on the massive grill located in front of the restaurant.

Fish area and especially grilled fish. Here you will ask to eat excellently, more expensive than average but it is irrelevant: - Due to the great quality of the product. - For attentive and polite service. - For a very adequate room, linen tablecloths, dishes, air conditioning......but very small bathrooms with an excess of disinfectant smell......which masks possible dirt: hence a 4 and not a 5. - By diners as God intended, educated and civilized, not like the rest of the garbage tourism in the area. - Especially for the grilled sea bass……uffffffffffff fantastic

Average restaurant between the large offer in this neighborhood. Grilled fish was OK, but nothing more. Correct application of the kg-pricing by offering a choice of fishes on a scale at the table. What is not always the case in other restaurants. Cool interior and ambiance.

This is the place to choose when you’re in this area. You will probably have to wait in line to get a table, and they are very busy. They still manage to create a great atmosphere and give good service. Their food is fresh, simple and very well prepared. Don’t expect gourmet. Just real good authentic fish food. Fresh from the grill. We tried out a few of restaurants in the street this was the best of them
