O Comercial
Hidden at the back of the stock-exchange building, this one-of-a-kind restaurant boasts towering arches, old-world service and a stylish, fireside lounge. At dinner, the food has been known to disappoint, but the three-course lunch menu is great value.

Boa Nova Casa-Chá
Designed by famed Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza Vieira and completed in 1963, this cliffside tea house and restaurant is set alluringly above a crashing sea. Massive boulders frame the white, low-rise building, while inside the Zenlike design continues as light floods the wood and stone interior. The restaurant is 20 minutes north of Porto along the coast. It’s best reached by car or taxi.

Tromba Rija
Porto’s branch of Leiria’s famous eatery offers a huge, soup-to-nuts buffet of classic, well-prepared Portuguese dishes – plus all the wine, port and homemade liqueur you can drink. Tromba Rija is a great introduction to Portuguese cuisine – and always festive thanks to all that free booze.

Mariazinha
This snug but rustically elegant eatery, run by an enthusiastic husband-and-wife team, serves creative haute cuisine based on market-fresh ingredients. You must order from the prix-fixe menu. In fact, each course comes as a surprise, along with a different Portuguese wine. Reservations recommended.

Abadia
It's gotten a little touristy, but this rather cavernous backstreet place serves up very good northern dishes, including excellent porco preto (flavourful grilled pork) and tripas (stewed tripe).

A Tasquinha
Tucked inside a rustic house, this touristy but pleasant place offers cask wines, garlicky appetisers and good northern specialities. The €13 tourist menu includes three courses, coffee and drink.

Casa Filha da Mãe Preta
Set smack on the Ribeira’s riverfront, this is the most congenial of a long line of touristy riverside restaurants. Go early to bag an upstairs front table for views of the Douro.
