- Wes DearbornOctober 7, 2014Best "modern Portuguese" food I've ever had. Try the scallop risotto - it's excellent and very unique.
kate kSeptember 9, 2015Our waiter was kind enough to bring us the "exploding olives" without ordering the whole cod dish.
Maureen ClarkeJuly 21, 2017The most tender octopus I've ever tried #food #lifestyle #thankful #cantinhodoavillez
- Alex CavoulacosJuly 18, 2017Get a reservation, this spot is happening! Also, the hazelnut dessert really is that good.
JCJune 24, 2018Good food but not that impressive. Lovely servers but very slow with refilling our wine glasses. Have to order the fried green beans
If you're in for lunch during a work day beware as it takes a bit of time (around 2 hours).
Pamela StrohscheinSeptember 7, 2022Average food and service. Don’t know, why they are mentioned by Michelin - no reason for that. The whole place smells , so as you, when you’re leaving : deep fried
HJ KJune 11, 2019This place shows that just because a restaurant is on the Michelin Guide, it doesn’t mean it’ll be exceptional. It’s not bad, but there is nothing exciting about the food nor the service.
EduardAugust 24, 2019a terrible experience. Slow service at the kitchen and everything came cold to the table. When I told them, they wanted to give us free desserts , but the waitress became something really rude.
Nadine CorrodiDecember 31, 2017Fish soup was small and served cold, as well the eggs. risotto was ok, nothing special. our bill was at 100 euros for two people, over all I think is over priced, we left disappointed.

"Incredible view from the top of the bridge. You can walk through it and visit the other side of the river. Don’t miss this experience."
Pau 
"Public walking area along the river with lots of restaurants and shops. Avoid the one in front, backstreeta are also beautiful and with better restaurants. Great to see and experience the town."

"Excellent, a little bit expensive, but very good. Impossible to visit Porto without to know Magestic Café. I suggest the rabanada or scones with porto wine Tawny."
