TABERNA DOS MERCADORES

POLVO COM ARROZ NO FORNO -- O MELHOR DO MUNDO

The Ribeira in Porto – the historic district at the edge of the Rio Douro – is filled with architecture, charm and restaurants. 

Many of the restaurants are fine, but they aim low toward the tourist palette.

The Taberna hosts visitors, but it has a small menu with a handful of entrees done perfectly.

It is a beacon of gastronomy.

I dined for lunch twice during my 36-hour visit.

The far and away winner is octopus with rice, cooked an oven.

A huge dish, fit for two people, comes to you for the low price of 24 euros.

The wine list is curated, and for a city famed for its fortified wine, has plenty of vintages from France and points beyond Portugal.

Servers are efficient and hardworking.

Desserts are homemade and delicious.

Let’s keep this our own little secret, for world class fin and shellfish and curated wine list in a warm atmosphere.
