Quiet environment. Good localization. Good presentation. We are the business menu (rodízio). The food was good but average quality as anyone would expect from a normal Brazilian restaurant. It was ok for a business lunch. Great appetizers thou!

A very nice family restaurant. Seabass, potatoes and vegetables are more than worth the money. Very friendly service all in all. Wines are reasonably priced too, and of good quality. Desserts include tortas geladas and Nata de Ceu which was, well, heavy stuff. That means good. Always worth a taxi ride to visit.

Restaurante Antonio

Reviewed By RandyMK

We have visited this fabulous restaurant many times however returned yesterday after a while only to discover how wonderful it really is. While the location of this place is awkward, weird and industrial, the restaurant absolutely delivers on food, service, ambiance, etc. The food is basically fish with some meat offerings. Roasted cod, boiled hake, grilled octopus, etc, etc, all amazingly well prepared. Do not overorder as these dishes are all full doces and enough for 2 persons. Order 1/2 doce per person. Beware that all 1/2 doce are €15 so select an expensive one to maximise the money.The wine.....large offering, stick with the least expensive and listen to their suggestions as they will not steer you wrong. You will not need to spend more than €10.50The service. They will speak English so do not hesitate to impose on them.The ambiance. While effectively a rear facing landscaped enclosure in a parking lot, it is light, airy, well appointed and spacious. The table sizes are generous and separate.Make a reservation just in case. Closed Sundays.

Reviewed By Tania d

This was my very favourite meal anywhere and that is saying a lot! The location is right on the ocean with an incredible architectural building shaped around the rocks. The room is lovely, light and airy with a good vibe. The service is exceptional and all of the team appear to really CARE about this place, their food and customers. The Chef Rui Paula is charming and personable and makes a real effort to welcome all guests.We chose a 12 course menu (fish/seafood version - there is also a vegetarian option) as it was lunchtime and that was just perfect. The imagination, creativity, freshness and flair was world class and the tastes were delicious, without exception.I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. A real highlight of our trip! Keep up the great work.

Restaurante com ambiente elegante, informal e tranquilo. Baseado na comida tradicional Portuguesa, oferece alguns pratos com a assinatura da nossa cozinha. Atendimento pronto, profissional, atento e personalizado.

We were staying in Matosinhos for Primavera Sound. Local 491 was a short distance from our apartment and initially stood out thanks to its diverse menu. We ate there twice -once in the evening (tapas) and once for lunch (I had octopus, the missus had linguine).Both times, the food and service was excellent. Our waiter Garcia was very friendly, explained local dishes & wines and took a genuine interest in every group that came in to eat (locals and tourists) which created a great atmosphere.Local 491 was easily the best place in which we ate during our stay. Just a brilliant, relaxed, all-round eating experience.Recommended dishes: trio of sausages, flaming chorizo, octopusRecommended dessert: Dream Cake!!!If you're in central Porto, Local 491 has a sister restaurant in Ribeira Square.

We had the shrimp dumplings for appetizer and grilled fish (espada and “cavala”). With a good bottle of white wine it costed around €50 for 2 persons and it was every cent worth it. Everything was delicious. Comfortable e beautiful chairs, friendly service.

Freshest fish available being right in the market and careful attention to preparation and service make this a great find. For dessert the cheese cake was refreshingly light yet very flavorful. Pedro, the owner, is gracious and so willing to help. We simply asked him to feed us and he delivered, big time!Thank you so much for visiting and for the friendly comments you left us. We are delighted to hear that our customers appreciate the experience and moments they spend with us. We hope to see you again, The Mercado Food & Drinks
