Porto Splash

Posted by 200512 25 October 2007

Porto is a lovely city on the Douro river. Small hilly streets with shops, restaurants, port houses and very friendly people. Try a 'Porto Splash' - white port on ice with tonic.

D'Oliva Restaurant

Posted by sonoflusus 29 September 2007

D'Oliva is a restaurant just outside Oporto in the seaside suburb of Matosinhos. It serves some excellent pastas (the menu is mostly Italian and Mediterranean), and the overall ambiance is sophisticated yet relaxed.

You can take the metro to Matosinhos from the center of Oporto, or take a taxi which should cost less than 10 euros.
Rua Brito e Cunha, 354, Matosinhos, see www.gooporto.com for more information.

Canastra da Ribeira

Posted by DouglasPaddy 28 August 2006

This is a restaurant in the Ribeira district of Porto. There are many similar looking restaurants on this waterfront however we believe that this one stands head & shoulders over the others. The menu range, quality of the food, friendliness of staff & the superb value all contribute to make this our top restaurant recommendation for Porto.
We had some bread/cheese, two very large mains, a bottle of wine & coffee & it set us back only €34.
We loved it so much we went back twice more. The view from the top window was amazing - looking over the Douro at the port lodges. For that alone the €34 would have been paid!

Cais da Ribeira, 37, halfway down the Ribeira waterfront in Porto.

Tinoca - regional sweets, Amarante

Posted by Pipeta 17 August 2006

The best place to find sweets from that region. Try papos de anjo, doces de são gonçalo and castanhas!!

By the old bridge at the historical centre of Amarante.

Amarante is about 45 minutes away from Porto.
