TheForkUserFood was outstanding and so was the service by our waiter/host Thomás. The only negative point I have to make is that we were presented with champagne and a small cold meat board in our arrival and then charged 17 euros for it when we never requested it and then they charge us money for butter which was not even enough for one slice of bread. Very disappointed in that aspect. I paid but I should have left a complaint there but we were in a rush to get back to our house as we had a plane to catch at 5am.
_TI***rsFusion Japanese food at its best! The dishes are surprising and delicious, with helpful staff providing great recommendations.
TheForkUserI’ve eaten at many of the traditional fish restaurants in Matosinhos and after some disappointing experiences, I was happy to have discovered Casa Mota. The service was both warm and efficient not to mention friendly. My jumbo Tiger Shrimp worth every euro. Casa Mota is now my first choice in Matosinhos.
_TI***kwA fabulous dining experience with a relaxing atmosphere. The appetizers were outstanding, and the staff treated us like royalty!

_TI***qkI had a fantastic dining experience with well-cooked and presented dishes. The location is elegant, and the quality-to-price ratio is well balanced.
TheForkUserGreat service, it was really a pleasure to discuss with the waiter and the chief. Food was very good, especially their ribs it was delicious.
TheForkUserWhat delicious food and warm gracious service! We loved everything we ate the Spanish eggs over potatoes and mushrooms were to die for and the fried cod was DELICIOUS! I saw other tables order the chorizo that you toast over fire at your table and I was so envious and wished I had ordered that too! It looked amazing!
TheForkUserIt was nice, but the burgers were a little over cooked, but the rest was pretty good, the fries and the croquetes, very good
TheForkUserGreat service. Just what we were looking for to celebrate a special occasion! The menu offerings are so enticing and well presented. The waitress was able to describe with detail preparations. Everything tastes so delicious. It would be a go to place with frequency if I lived close by!
TheForkUserSuperb!The food is just amazing. Nice place outside the busy area of Porto. Nice atmosphere, very elegant place.Fast and welcoming service!Recommend 100%
TheForkUserOur second time for dinner. The food was delicious. We had the salmon and the steak was nice. We asked without the egg that was no problem. We asked for just a mixed salad, which was not on the menu, and this was very nice too. It came with a light dressing and tomatoes and carrots. We made a reservation, and this way you can request a window table.
TheForkUserExcellent Japanese food executed brilliantly that is largely well balanced. Very good wine and sake wine pairing to go along. Highly recommend!
_TI***d4I had the Diavola pizza, and it was simply magnificent! The flavors were incredible, making it a must-try for pizza lovers.

_TI***blThis restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious vegan dishes. The Eggs Benedict and Francesinha were both superb, and the service was friendly and attentive.
TheForkUserEverything was delicious! Our appetizer of mozzarella and tomatoes, dinners of snapper and pork cheek, brownie dessert were all spectacular! Definitely our favorite meal while in Porto!!!
_TI***0xThe decor of the restaurant is impressive, especially the ceiling in the old building. It's worth exploring all three floors to appreciate the unique design and memorabilia.
_TI***paI highly recommend making a reservation, as this small restaurant fills up quickly. The staff is attentive and the service is fast.
TheForkUserI had a wonderful lunch experience at this restaurant. Everything was excellent — from the delicious food to the convenient location and the warm, attentive staff. The atmosphere was inviting and the service was impeccable. I truly enjoyed my visit and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!
TheForkUserMy wife is Brasilian and could not stop raving about her meal. Said she felt like she was back eating at her grandmothers table. As someone who is not as versed in the cuisine I still really enjoyed my meal and we all agreed we would go back again in a heart beat.
TheForkUserDelighted to find a menu with numerous vegan options of thoughtful dishes, not just placed as an afterthought, which is often the case in other restaurants.
_TI***1hI highly recommend this restaurant for its incredible food and attentive service; the staff really go above and beyond.
TheForkUserWe went for late dinner with my husband, food was very good, the stuff was friendly and helped us with choice,since we wanted the fish but the one we wanted was way too big. it's a little more expensive than usual prices,but totally worth it. Highly recommended
TheForkUserThis place exceeded expectations. We had the grilled octopus and the rump steak, both dishes were tasty and presented well. Service was very friendly and efficient. When I tried to add side dishes, they informed me that my dish already had some provided, and offered to swap fries with the potatoes too. This is really helpful to prevent food waste, thanks!
TheForkUserGreat place. Good location, afraid it was a turist trap, but the reviews on the fork were spot on.Big selection of mostly italian dishes, some with a Portuguese twist or Portuguese ingredient, but small changes.The shrimp risotto was divinal. The italian Lambrusco rose wine was also great. The entries and desert are good size and quite generous portions. Will likely return.
