A Caminho De Casa

Without reservation there's no chance of getting a table. You can easily understand why after being there. It can only fit about 24 people. As for the atmosphere it is cosy and nicely decorated. You do feel a bit of a home feeling. But it is ruined by a poor service and lack of quality on the menu. The waiter could not spare you a smile and appeared to gave little knowledge about all that he was supposed to do and know. It was even awkward at some point as he would not know the wines they sold and had to go and fetch a small little paper with some scribbles on, brought us mistaken orders and by the time we payed he was clearly distracted from it all. The night before we had our actual reservation and they forgot it. As some type of reward he promised that we would have a table for the following day and a bottle of wine would be "on the house". Such a nice way to redeem themselves but no one came to the table and complied to that gesture. The owner did not even came to greet us or to ask if we were pleased with the meal, which is an odd behaviour for a restaurant that small... Apart from all that the menu was disappointing, the boiled egg with spicy chocolate made us laugh as it seemed like a kids made dish, and all the rest was served cold, the typical red bean rice came overdone and with white beans (!!!) and the sprat was so badly cooked i felt sorry for the place. The only star of the night was the chocolate mousse that was really tasty and well made. Clearly not a place to go back and leave us with a sad feeling that there are so many restaurants opening and getting all this attention and I can't shake this feeling that the times where there were only a few but it was always worth it.

Music, food, service, place, it is second time here and definitely to repeat again. One of the coziest restaurants in Porto area

music, eating, service, place, it is the second time here and in any case repeat again. one of the most cozy restaurants in porto.

without reservation there is no chance to get a table. they can easily understand why after that be there. it can only fit around 24 people. as for the atmosphere it is cozy and beautifully furnished. you feel a bit like home. but it. is ruined by a bad service and lack of quality on the menu. the waiter couldn't save them smiles and seemed to give little knowledge about everything he should do and know. it was even unpleasant at a certain point, as he weeped the ones that they sold and had to go and pick up a small paper with some scribbles, brought us wrong orders and through the time we paid, he was clearly distracted from him all. in the night before we had our reservation and they forgot it. as any kind of reward he promised that we have a table for the following day and a bottle of wine would be on the house so nicer to redeem, but no one came on the table and filled this gesture. the owner did not even come to welcome us or to ask if we were satisfied with the meal, which is a strange behavior for a restaurant that is small. Apart from everything that was disappointing the menu, let us laugh the cooked egg with spicy chocolate when it seemed like a child dish, and the rest was served cold, the typical red bean rice came overdon and felt so badly roasted! the only star that night was the chocolate mousse that was really delicious and well made. obviously no place to go back and get us with a sad feeling that there are so many restaurants open and get all this attention, and I can not shake this feeling that the times where there was only a few, but it was always worth it.

positiw: food and fair price; ambient; service cons: wine menu short, expensive and with bad selection; the rice used in traditional Portuguese dressing should be carolino or other short chalk, not basmati overall: this restaurant has a lot of unused potential. when it fix the small problems it will be on or the restaurant in matosinhos.

I live in matosinhos on this street and often passed this restaurant. I was always curious about it and even looked at once, so when my friends wanted to come to lunch after mato, I decided it was time to try it. we were all so excited about our lunch. eating was very well prepared, and the service was extremely good. everyone is so friendly. I will definitely be back and introduce other people to this little neighborhood chess. high marks all around.
