Service

The food was amazing, the combination of flavours were surprising and enticing. The service could use more Michelin-level training. The snacks were beautifully presented until the server tipped it over when showing us the wine list - he proceeded to clean up but with no apologies which made us feel it was out fault as the table was tiny, and the bowl the snacks came in had a tiny foot - not great as accidents will and did happen.We ordered a bottle wine, but they thought we had wine pairing and started to serve until a colleague stopped him but without telling us, until he came back with the bottle of wine. When our server took our order, we had added an extra cheese plate, and he said he will check with us at dessert if we still want it. He did, and we said to cancel it - however, another server came and said it was already prepared - it&#39;s cheese, they could have cancel it, but we took it anyways. So, overall, the service needs to be improved for the level of restaurant that it is.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at DeCastro Gaia.  The restaurant was very kind to accommodate our request for a table adjacent to a window with a terrific view of the bridge.  Both appetizers and entres were excellent, as was the selection of ports.  The dining room is a great size, not too large yet intimate at the same time.   We did not venture upstairs to the roof terrace, although there is a relatively steady stream of guests passing through the dining room en route to the roof.  We would happily return again when next in Porto.

A very good taste of the true Portuguese cuisine with prices that can be handled by the Portuguese people. Plus it is located in one the of the best areas of Porto. I will definitely come back 👏

The wait staff at Mercado Food and Drinks are the best in all of Porto!! When you go to eat at Mercado, you will eat a delicious meal and be treated like royalty!

I chose this restaurant to have dinner with my father on my birthday, as I know that the quality and ambience is always consistent. I introduced to my father to the Bacalhau a Braga, and he agreed that it was just as fresh and tasty as I had described! Thank you for providing a great meal on my special day!

Friendly and polite staff. Nice and quiet restaurant to have dinners with family or friends. I ordered a hamburguer and it was very tasty.

The food is great! The chef is very friendly and open to costumer&rsquo;s opinions/suggestions :)Next time I will try the cod fish.

Excellent dinner, we were a party of 4. I had the vegetarian stew it was delicious my husband had the ribs they were perfectly seasoned, my friends had seafood stew and cod. The Bell wine and Chardonnay it was all delicious.

Location is perfect, by River T&acirc;mega and near the monastery and bridge. The price is really good considering the quality of the food and service (for soup, garlic bread and main course and drinks, we paid around 25&euro; a person)

The food here was delicious. We had the bruschetta to start and a delicious pizza for dinner. Staff were friendly and efficient and we enjoyed our meal here!

Nice place with a delicious food. I do recommend this pace, normal prices and worth all the money. The service was great! I will definitely go there again when I come back to Porto. Thank you for making our evening special :) regards from me and my family 👌

Excellent service and wonderful ambiance.Very interesting menu.Very attentive owner.Enjoyed interacting with other guests.

Friendly staff. The food was fresh and well prepared. Quality ingredients with attention to detail. Pricing was reasonable. The house wine was surprisingly good.

perfect food, the waitress was the kindest soul there. loved the moejas, the best I&#39;ve eaten before! a little on the pricer side.

best meal in porto. And when we were left high and dry by our Uber driver who cancelled us [pouring rain so very wet], the restaurant organized us an Uber and paid for it too. Excellent service in a quality restaurant

Excellent high end food with great service and wine staff. Husband and wife. I had the fixed price menu and my wife selected ala carte. Wonderful, thank you.

Fantastic service and wonderful food. The fish is prepared within minutes of your order and is delivered in a professional and courteous manner.

As always it&#39;s an amazing place overall. Service, staff and food are all head and shoulders above the rest. Great wine list!

Very cozy space with good food and drinks. The sangria was awesome and the table service top notch.A bit loud for my taste. But a good experience to go back!

It was very quiet and the owner was very attentive.  We enjoyed a selection of starters and a nice bottle of wine.  The desserts were good too.  Overall an enjoyable evening.

Inside of a fortress where the restaurant is hiding but what a found. The place, the food and the attention are fantastic a place we will try again and again.

Thank you for a wonderful dinner with my uncle that I haven&#39;t seen in over 10 years. Everything was great, but the service could show some improvement if some of the staff could be more friendly with more smiles and courtesy. We had a great time overall.

Unbelievable food. Trio of bruschetta to start was fantastic. Lasagne was best I&rsquo;ve ever had and the tiramisu was incredible. Highly highly recommend!

Generous, fresh, delicious seafood. Beautifully presented with great service. Did not expect t.v displaying football at high quality restaurant, but understand local passion for sport. Did not retract from our  wedding anniversary experience.

Excelente Bife a portuguesa! soft, tasty, well cooked, a delight. The space is very nice and have a beautiful wall mural with lovely fantasy drawings of funny characters

Cheeses and sausages of the best quality served in a very welcoming environment! Highlight for the friendliness of the staff.

Excellent food. tapas portions big enough for 2 to share. we had 4  altogether and was more then enough. really tasty food and excellent service. there was live music on while we were there which added to the fantastic atmosphere!

the staff was super nice and so was the food. we ordered two &ldquo;house&rdquo; cocktails and they were good, but my friend&rsquo;s had ?sugar? on the outside of the cup which made her fingers dirty when she picked it up ☹️

It was a great experience, there was nothing wrong about the restaurant, and for once in my life I was excited for a salad.

The food was absolutely wonderful.  Every dish was full of flavor &amp; making you wish you had room for more.  I would highly recommend this amazing food experience.
