AMAZING, best octopus I’ve had in my life, the meat was so soft and tender with a satisfying crispy exterior. Walked in on a Friday night and had a nice table with a riverside view. Great port wine as well.

One of the highest rated restaurants along the Douru River, and it doesn't take a lot of convincing to see why. The seafood was fresh and well-prepared. The salad was fresh and well-prepared. Even the service was fresh and well-prepared. Highly recommended if you're around the area, and if you aren't, highly recommended that you pay this restaurant a visit.

I came searching for some good bacalhau a bras and they didn't disappoint - it was fantastically done with a well sized portion Service let it down massively. Two diners arrived after us, sat at the next table, and the man who I believe is the manager tended to them first while leaving us waiting for ages. Our food arrived after they have pretty much finished their meal which was an infuriating experience to have. No one like to be treated unequally in a restaurant. But I am giving it a 4 star because food was indeed good. In more detail: - bacalhau a bras - excellent - fish soup - decent (on the small size and could do with a bit more flavour - I'd probably have gone for the bacalhau com natas instead as that has great review too) - bread - poor. A few pieces were massively underproved and thus very dense and not pleasant to eat Would I come back? Maybe - it is well located and there are good dishes. Not the cheapest but fair. Just beware of the service level Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

We had a fantastic time dining at Bacalhoeiro last month while we were in Porto. Our server Gabriel was professional and attentive, very knowledgable of both the food and drink options and I really appreciate that he would not stop with suggestions until I found the perfect wine that I liked to pair with my meal. The fried cod balls, creamy fish soup and their signature Codburger were all enjoyable but the star of the evening for us was the Cod in Port Wine - the sweet and salty pairing was an exquisite gastronomic experience. This restaurant is not to be missed if you are in Porto/Vila Nova de Gaia - lovely ambience while experiencing unique cod fish dishes! Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We tried 4 different types of bacalhau and they were all very tasty! One of us even had a codburger, which I had never heard of before and was very good. The place is very busy, so expect to wait in the queue on weekends, but it will be worth it. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person €20–25

This is a very nice choice for riverfront dining. They specialize in bacalao, so it is great for trying bacalao dishes. They also have a nice wine and port selection. The service is very friendly and helpful. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person €15–20 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes In Olive

The atmosphere and service are definitely nice, but the food was a bit underwhelming for the price range. Nothing bad, but also nothing special. The view from the terrace is great though. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €20–25 Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Fantastic place. It deserves 6 stars, if not more. Delicious food, probably the best bacalao I've had in Porto, friendly staff, great atmosphere and incredible view. Personally, I loved the cod in port, so I recommend it. Traditional dishes are also worth trying. Special thanks to manager Pedro who ensures that all guests have the best experience.

This restaurant lives up to its rating. Delicious food on the side of the Douro with a view on both Luis I bridge and the sunset. We went with a cod and a duck dish and I must say the duck, though not one of their specialties, absolutely blew us away with how delicious it is. Service Dine in Price per person €20–25
