ZA IN PORTO

Please try this place. This place is the Crown Jewel of all seafood restaurants in Europe. TRY THE OCTOPUS RICE. Tomato based soup, rich broth with plenty of octopus. Bay leaf and parsley add finesse. It is not only for your taste buds, but also for your soul. The fried octopus fillet that comes with the rice is insaane. Chews like cod and chicken but has a scent of octopus. How is this even possible? What kind of sorcery is the chef practicing????? The Grilled Cod is SO GOOD. Not like inferior American restaurants that simply roast every ingredient they have with cheap oil salt and pepper. This place serves oven roasted cod that has both firm and soft texture at the same time. Is this even possible mother of jesus. Springy flesh goes perfectly well with the crispy skin. The firm/soft flesh is only possible when the fish is fresh, not frozen. Try the chicken soup too. I thought Korea has the best chicken soup but the chef here is making me betray my own country. Adding broken egg yolk to the chicken soup was a brilliant idea. Hats off to the chef. Please keep cooking. We ate 2 chicken soup, glass of port wine, sparkling water, grilled cod, octopus rice, and dessert. But the bill was 67.25 euros. The only thing the chef is missing is business / pricing strategy. The food deserves higher price. The owner(maybe the chef himself) serves and takes order. He is very polite and kind.

A small shop, clean and nice atmosphere. We spent a night here, food was awesome, octopus is a must try.

We came here twice during our stay in Porto. One of the best restaurants in town. Kids love their clames and beef skewers. The gentleman, I am sure he is the owner, was so helpful. He stopped us when ordering too much Highly recommended this place. We came back again in 2025. Kids excited for their favorite clames and beef skew. We also ordered salmon this time.

What an incredible restaurant we visited! Atmosphere, service and food were beyond our expectations. We especially loved Octopus rice (like risotto), such a tender octopus fillet, it was just wow! If you love seafood, make sure to visit there while you are in Porto!

very lovely place, i still think about the octopus the boss was very kind, we really appreciated it

Everything was so good… garlic prawns and octopus are a must have!! One of the best meals we had in Porto, will definitely be back

Delicious food and vegetarian options! It was a great way to get a taste of Portuguese food while visiting Porto. The host was very caring (I think he was the owner)! We ordered the cod and the vegetarian pasta.

Nice place to visit. The food is fantastic (thanks to chef ). The boss is very nice to serve us even late evening. We came twice during our staying and we will definitely come again soon. Restaurant 8 years celebration in advance. We were lucky having souvenirs.
