I found this restaurant on TikTok and it completely exceeded my expectations. I came here for a pre-birthday dinner, and it ended up being the perfect choice. The food was amazing, the drinks were great, and the service was excellent.
I loved the intimate atmosphere, and every dish we ordered was fantastic. This was my favorite meal in Porto, and I can’t wait to come back the next time I’m in town.

We had such a wonderful evening at this cute spot! Even though our reserved table ran just a bit behind schedule, the server immediately made us feel welcome by offering us a complimentary glass of bubbling rosé while we waited.
We ended up sitting on the opposite side of the restaurant facing a quiet, peaceful road. Enjoying the warm Porto breeze paired with amazing Argentinean food made for a perfect atmosphere. To top off an already great night, our incredibly welcoming server shared a complimentary shot of Port wine with us when we checked out. It was such a thoughtful, cute touch to end a memorable evening.

Wonderful experience! The food the people truly feels worth visiting, ot made me realize i wished i stayed in Porto longer so i could eat here and enjoy the atmosphere, the people as well as the delicious food more.
We had what was recommended to us by our server and every bite kept us wanting more.
I would strongly recommend everything we have tried; Black Angus Carpaccio , White Fish tiradito, Scallops al ajillo, Beef tagliata, just a salad and Sticky toffee pudding.
I truly mean it when i say it was delicious, i wish the best for this wonderful restaurant and hope for the best!

The BEST meal we had in Portugal. Sooo good. Restaurant was small and cozy. Their menu was also tiny which let us try most of their things. Bottom line they do everything great. The nori tacos were insane. I’m still thinking about them. Same with the steak, it had such a great season and dipping sauce on the side. Cooked perfectly btw. The empanadas were great, slightly preferred the beef one bc it came in a really nice broth. The scallops were so tender and the sauce they came in was addicting. Oysters were probs the best I ever had — very local and gigantic. I had to get the bread pudding for dessert which was huge and surprisingly not too sweet!! I even liked the orange wine I tried. The service is amazing and everyone is so nice. A must if you’re ever in Porto.

We had a wonderful evening at The Door. There’s a great choice of seating, both indoors and outside. We were seated on the deck, which created a truly enjoyable atmosphere.
Everything we tried was excellent. We started with the couvert, followed by the Nori Tacos and Just a Salad. The Empanadas (both beef and prawn) were delicious, and the Foie Bites were a standout. For dessert, the sticky toffee was the perfect ending, paired with the Rain Water, rich and absolutely worth it.
The service was attentive without ever feeling rushed, which made the whole experience even more relaxing. A great spot for a memorable night out.
