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.
