Segunda Casa - Matosinhos

First of all , do not be put off by the exterior. Inside is one of the most welcoming restuarants you could hope to find. Not many tables , but the sight of the piano and the double bass in one corner gives an idea of sort of place you have arrived in. No music while we were there, but could imagine how the evening could turn into a good night. We had fried peppers and a prawn dish for starters and grilled dourada (fish) , mixed vegetables and potatoes cooked with the skin on. For dessert , really good chocolate cake and apple tart with an egg custard topping. Everything cooked to perfection. The house Douro wine at 8 euros a bottle was excellent value for money. We travelled from Porto on the metro which took about half an hour. Locating the restuarants was not easy from the map on Tripadvisor, but the local taxi drivers showed us the short walk from the Mercado metro stop. Go there. Enjoy the good food and really friendly owners.

Good food you must try the fish rice. But we should be prepared to pay about 40€ by couple. Nice room, small tables, good service.

Hip tasty and relaxed all at a cool price You can eat a selection of tapas like plates which are truly delightful. For a jaded reviewer who has seen it all this was a fresh find. If you are not too greedy you can move on to one of their delectable mains. But leave enough room for their oh so special I could eat more and more desserts. They have unusual treats in store and then they have a classic Apple pie with a twist ....spoiler alert: the apple on a base of fine crunchy pastry is topped by a magical custard with a bias to apple flavour and a dusting of cinnamon. Back there for a lazy lunch and then again for a special dinner with a bunch of great friends we were treated royally by the cool staff. A must in Porto.

Excellent restaurant for both lunch and dinner! Unfortunately this restaurant closed last year. Brilliant for all kinds of meals: couples, family, friends, business or even solo!

Great seafood and servers were very nice and helpful. Servers spoke English. Several fresh selections to chose from and all looked very fresh. Nice fairly priced wine list.
