Porto Restaurants and Porto Dining
(Porto, Portugal, PT)



You will be able to eat out extremely well in Porto, with dining options ranging from cheap eats to upmarket restaurants for even the most fussy foodies. Many of the restaurants and eateries in Porto boast an array of gastronomic Portuguese specialities and these include rich tripe stews (tripas), which are known to have been a firm favourite of locals for around 600 years.

Fine dining in Porto regularly features seafood, which is hardly surprising considering the resort's beautiful coastal setting. Also popular at the city's Portuguese restaurants is 'bacalhau', (dried salty cod), along with a variety of grilled and skewered meats, such as the ever popular 'frango no espeto' (spit-roasted chicken). And of course, what better way to finish a meal in Porto than to wash it down with a glass of the city's world-famous fortified wine, port, which is often served with cheese and nibbles.
