Cenamos el 3 de Agosto. Después de pasar 4 días en Oporto, este fue el mejor restaurante en el que comimos. Tomamos bacalao al horno y a la cazuela. Muy buenos. La Francesinha es realmente excelente, la mejor que tomamos en nuestra estancia. El servicio muy atento, muy amable. Me llamo la atención la esmerada limpieza de las mesas y mobiliario una vez que quedaban vacias, es una señal de profesionalidad. Una excelente relación calidad precio. Buen trabajo !!!
