So many choices, in a city where the wine is produced locally and the fishermen deliver fresh caught fish each morning, dining out is truly a pleasure. A plethora of choices offering delicious cheese, fresh seafood, locally farmed meat – where to start?

O’ COMERCIAL Porto

During my sightseeing at the most visited historic central monument, the Palácio da Bolsa, we happened upon an intimate darkly lit space. I popped in and wondered who are these sophisticated locals dining at a leisurely 2 pm on a Friday?

O’ COMERCIAL Porto

Restaurant O’ COMERCIAL is right in the historical center of Porto. It combines the elegance of the past with new trends. The restaurant itself is beautiful and spacious but due to a well-designed layout, it is at the same time, a very intimate space. Refined setting with massive windows facing the river Douro from where you can see the pier of Gaia and the dynasties of Port wine cellars.
