Palmeira - Porto

Amazing home made portuguese delicious food with reasonable prices

The food was amazing and the service was unparalleled. I highly recommend this understated elegant restaurant for a great dining experience. I ordered the stewed tongue with peas, it is served with rice. My husband had the calamari steaks which was served with a side dish of potatoes and broccoli. Nuno was our server, a highly experienced gentleman who was attentive and very deft. Kudos to a great dining experience!

First impression, clean, neat, orderly and formal. Once you sit down you realise you 're back in the '90s. Great service, couldn 't say anything bad about it. The menu, simple, not too many dishes and in multiple languages. Complementary bread (really nice, tasty) spreadable tuna, cheese and butter to serve while waiting for your order. We had Portuguese style steak and flame grilled sardines with peppers. My steak (meat) was not bad at all, nicely done, juicy and I would say it was medium rare. The potatoes were quite salty, the onion was good, tasty but everything was just floating in oil. The sauce itself might 've been nice if the oil wouldn 't take everything from it. The sardines were quite smelly, not in a bad way, but almost improper washed, the ocean smell was very very pregnant. They weren 't too fresh either. Anyway, long story short, homemade type of '90s food, we will not go there anymore and won 't recommend it either. Shameful, so much potential wasted.

Excelente descoberta no Porto deste restaurante. Qualidade das suas carnes e peixes, serviço imbatível e atencioso em todos os momentos.

Comida tradicional portuguesa. O cabrito servido com arroz , batata assada e grelos frescos , estava bem apaladado . Serviço rápido e simpático . Voltaremos
