Excellent lunch at Taberna dos Mercadores in Porto. We did not have a reservation but arrived early enough on our final day in the city and were lucky to get a table. Small authentic restaurant with delicious food and a relaxed welcoming atmosphere. Everything was reasonably priced and the wine service was excellent. The pear dessert was a perfect finish with Port of course. Just excellent all around.
Even before we set off on our trip to Porto, we knew we wanted to visit this restaurant based on reviews and recommendations. Our original plan was to stop by in person and make a reservation for the evening, but unfortunately we were told it was fully booked and advised to try without a reservation, risking a wait in line (which is indeed very long!). We decided to go quite early, around 6 PM, and were incredibly lucky — the restaurant was empty and guests were just starting to arrive. By 7 PM it was completely full, with a long line outside, so we definitely recommend going early for dinner. The staff was very friendly. We ordered a soup and cod fish fingers to share, and for the main course we had seafood rice for two. The portions were really generous, and the food was delicious, truly like a comforting homemade meal from grandma. The restaurant is tiny, seating only about 14–16 guests, but it feels cozy and homey, which made the experience even more special.
One of my best meal in Portugal! Despite all the reviews, one should just go and try it so long it is on ur radar:) The place is small but I feel it is like having a meal with a group of friends/ reunion of strangers. The kitchen mainly hemmed by one person with one or two assisting but it is really fast. The gentleman that greeted us make me think of my favourite uncle. Their service is attentive and is very friendly. We had the best codfish of our time. And their housewine pairs with the meal really nicely. We r lucky to be one of the last to go in for first round but I would definitely paid a visit someday!
First of all: waiting 1.5 hours wasn’t worth it. We were the last ones they let in, and the entire line behind us got cut off. The place is tiny, 16 seats, family-run. It’s warm and homey, but the size alone explains why we were outside. We ordered three dishes: the pan-seared shrimp, the octopus risotto, and the salt-baked sea bass. All decent, nothing disappointing, but nothing that made me feel the wait paid off. The only dish worth calling out is the sea bass. It’s the cleanest-tasting fish we’ve had in Portugal no trace of fishiness. They pack the whole fish in coarse salt, stuff lemon slices inside, and torch it with vodka before serving. The flames give it a bit of a moment. The meat stays moist and full, with a light citrus note. This one is genuinely good. Overall: good service, food above average, atmosphere comfortable. But if you don’t want to waste time in line, book ahead or show up at opening. Don’t stand there like we did.
The experience itself is amazing. Service was good and the food was amazing. Highly recommend the octopus rice. Every bite is different with the textures of crispy rice and perfectly cooked rice, or even soft octopus or crispy onions. Hands down highly recommend. The clams as a starter were delicious just be careful of the garlic! It will burn your mouth. The codfish cakes are served to eat and no worries about burning your mouth, rhey aren't fish and good as well. We also had the seabass in salt and it was juicy and delicious. They break the fish at the table side and plate it for you and is also delicious. Highly recommend coming before opening and trying it out. Don't expect to be seated if coming after opening!
