Cleanliness review insights for Porto, Portugal

Awful place. The food is bad and poorly served. Communication is poor. No concern shown towards the client. Worst Halal experience I've ever had. Never going back there. Follow my advice and also avoid this place. Everything was dirty, not even safe/healthy for consumption. Don't be fooled by the reviews, the rating is highly misleading. Long time local guide, trust my words. Usually only review the best places, but this one was so bad I could not ignore nor pass without alerting people. You have loads of other good eating options in this area. Have a nice day!

Lovely place in Porto, well located, good for working (lots of power sockets), comfy seats. Service was 10/10. However, the smell coming out of the restrooms was pretty nauseating when I visited, also, no soap in the sink, which made clear that hygiene was not a priority. If they fix this, the place is overall great and I can highly recommend.

My family enjoyed the dishes (being codfish risotto, grouper and a ham/garlic steak) very much. But unfortunately, I got sick after having diner at this place. Although we started with a delicious, apparently old recipe meat dish, my main course (Cavalheira codfish) was so greasy that it made me feel sick afterwards. The reason I threw up a few hours later though, was probably because of improper hygiene, as the restaurant smelled weird when stepping inside and the toilets appeared not so clean and tidy. It can happen of course but because of the pretentious high standard of the place, it should not have occurred. Also worth mentioning is that the service was rather impersonal though friendly.

A real horror show. The lack of space management during dinner was obvious. Although the receptionist was friendly and cordial from the beginning, it was possible to see that the team was unmotivated and overloaded. During the service, we heard discussions between the staff, and none of the served dishes were explained. The gentleman who seemed to be the chief of the room just said his name at the end of the dinner to ask for a positive assessment of the space. The dust was dirty and spicy. It is worth noting that the cocktail menu was not available due to the large flow of customers, which is understandable. We chose the place because we believed it would have the same welcoming atmosphere and decent service the last time I was here, about two years ago, but unfortunately the experience was the opposite.

Bad service, poor quality in the confection of food and absurd prices, musicalta and the dirty terrace floor.

Dear. Food without flavor and cooked without art. Savings on the base ingredients of dishes. Room and bathrooms look decadent and dirty. A disappointment.

What a sadness to see what became of this restaurant I loved. I booked it for a birthday, thinking I would find the quality and atmosphere that made his reputation... but the evening turned into a fiasco. When we arrived, the table was not even ready. The tablecloth was dirty, which is unacceptable for an establishment that wants a serious minimum. The service is now disorganized, impersonal and clearly below what was previously proposed. The decoration remained the same, as if nothing had changed, but it is misleading: everything else collapsed. The cards are now made of low-end plastic, with about twenty dishes written in English, which gives the impression of a tourist factory without soul or identity. We were so shocked by the general deterioration that we preferred to get up and leave without even ordering. A first for us, and yet we frequented this restaurant for years. It’s a total waste. The old kitchen was exceptional, full of taste and character. Today, there remains only an empty shell that lives on its past reputation. Very sincerely: to flee. I am sickened to have lost one of my favorite restaurants.
