The view from the table was the real highlight&mdash;couldn&rsquo;t stop looking out over Porto. Staff were friendly too, though nothing about the food really stood out.

The chorizo appetizer was decent, pretty flavorful. The fish and chips were the best thing we ordered, really solid. Steak started off fine but turned a bit dry by the end. Aperol spritz was good too. Place was busy but we didn&#39;t wait long. Fine for a casual dinner.

Stopped here for a quick lunch and grabbed the seafood rice. Portion was solid, flavor was on point. View of the river is a nice bonus while you eat. Service was fast enough for my break. Bill came out a bit higher than I expected for the area, but the food made up for it. Good spot if you&#39;re in a hurry and want something decent.

Stopped by for lunch after walking around the marina. Small place, easy to miss. Had the seabream and honestly the freshness stood out. They debone it right at your table which was nice to watch. Portion was decent for the price, didn&#39;t feel ripped off. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Stumbled on this place for lunch and honestly the outdoor seating is the best part. So quiet and pretty. Had the grilled fish with veggies, super fresh. Service was really attentive too, almost too much lol. Prices fair for what you get. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The capricciosa and carbonara were alright, nothing to write home about. You&#39;re really paying for the marina spot. Mains around &euro;16-17, fair enough for the view.

Food came fast, service was on point. Tagliatelle al salmone and spaghetti bella Italia were both solid. Free wifi helped since I had to check emails. Fair for the price.

No menu, just whatever they bring. Oxtail and the braised pork were the best. House wine worked well with everything. Felt like a proper meal, not a tourist thing. Price was fair for what you get.

The staff here were so welcoming, made me feel right at home. Food tasted properly homemade, not like a chain. Portion was generous for the price, left full and happy. Definitely a spot I&#39;d come back to when craving something comforting.

We had a 3pm reservation, got there early but no problem because there was no one else in there! We did think about walking past but didn&rsquo;t!So pleased we didn&rsquo;t because the whole meal was fantastic, the waiter was also lovely. We will certainly be going back again but in the evening. Could have done with background music playing because it was so quiet but fortunately my hubby and I never stop talking so there wasn&rsquo;t an awkward silence!

The staff actually took time to walk us through the menu and gave decent suggestions. Felt like they cared about the meal, not just rushing us out.

The vegetarian pizza surprised me, in a good way. Fresh tomato cubes and basil actually made it taste like something. Dough was a bit pale though, and the &quot;large&quot; is more like a standard 30cm, so don&#39;t expect a monster. Fine for what it is.

The seafood rice here was fresh and packed with flavor. Grilled codfish was solid too. That &quot;cream of heaven&quot; dessert though &mdash; definitely the highlight. Cozy spot in Aveiro center.

Stopped by for a francesinha and it hit the spot. Sauce was rich, bread soaked just right. Place was busy but not chaotic. Staff let me take my time. Solid if you&rsquo;re in Aveiro and want something filling without overthinking it.

Mocktails were solid, shrimp tempura crispy. Sushi plate did the job but man, prices are a bit steep for what you get. BBQ skewers saved it though.

Got there at noon, place was already packed. Small spot, maybe 15 seats. Watched them grill the fish right in front of me&mdash;that was the best part. Ordered the sea bass, came out crispy on the skin, juicy inside. No complaints. Just go early or you&#39;ll wait.

Stopped by for lunch and grabbed the grilled octopus &mdash; pretty solid, tender and smoky. Staff was quick even though the place was busy. No complaints, just a good meal without the fuss. Would eat here again if I&#39;m in the area.

The staff handled our vegetarian requests without any fuss, which I appreciated. Food was decent, though the place felt a bit quiet for a Saturday night.

The owner runs the place with his family, you can tell. Had the Portuguese-style chicken, simple but tasty. Prices are fair for what you get. The room itself is nothing fancy, but the chairs are comfortable enough to sit for a while. Not a bad spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something homey.

The wall covered in foreign banknotes is such a cool touch. Sangria went down easy with the tapas. Place had a good buzz to it.

The lighting in there is really something &mdash; soft, warm, makes you want to stay longer. We had the fish, which was fresh and well done. Desserts were a bit of a letdown, but honestly I didn&#39;t mind much. I&#39;d go back just for that vibe again.

The grilled fish was fresh, well-seasoned. Saw regulars getting the same dish cheaper as a daily special though. Slightly annoying but the fish itself was solid.

Tried the bacalhau com natas from their Too Good To Go bag &mdash; super tasty even if it arrived lukewarm 😅

The lunch special was a good call. Portion was generous, and the vegetables still had some crunch. Not fancy, but the ingredients tasted fresh. I liked that they didn&#39;t drown everything in oil. Maybe a little more salt on the beans, but honestly fine. I&#39;d come back for the grilled fish plate.

The steak sandwich and tomato soup were spot on&mdash;flavorful and cheap. Just note the kitchen closes early, so get there in time if you want food.

The food was solid, nothing fancy but tasty enough. Portions are decent for what you pay, which I always appreciate. Sat on the terrace, it&#39;s right by a quiet park so the vibe is chill. Not the cheapest spot in the area but you&#39;re paying for the location too. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the neighborhood and want a relaxed meal without breaking the bank.

Showed up early since they don&#39;t take phone reservations. Got a table fast. The hot stone steak is a DIY thing &mdash; order it raw if you wanna cook it yourself. Kinda fun, kinda messy. Staff was nice about it. Solid quick bite if you&#39;re in the area.

Been coming here for a while now. The fish of the day never disappoints, always fresh and well seasoned. Service is quick and the staff actually joke around with you, which I appreciate. Nothing fancy, just solid food done right. Also decent pizza if you&#39;re in the mood.

The appetizer platter for 5 euros is still a steal, and that stew easily feeds three. Been coming here for a while and the portions never disappoint.

Owner opened the place just for us even though they were closed. That alone won me over. Green curry was solid, pad thai too. House wine did the job. Nothing fancy but honestly, that kind of effort makes you want to come back. Maybe a bit quiet since we were the only ones there, but I didn&#39;t mind.
