Small, Warm Restaurant With Excellent Local Plates
A tiny but welcoming restaurant serving beautifully prepared Portuguese dishes. The flavours are balanced, the staff is friendly and the entire meal feels handcrafted with care. Perfect for a cosy dinner in Porto's old streets.
Beautiful Restaurant
Our final day in Porto and we wanted to end our 4 day visit with fish soup. Google told us this was the place to be. We arrived at 2:30pm and there were 4 couples ahead of us in the queue - the restaurant closes at 3:30pm. We were incredibly lucky to
Amazing food, worth the wait for lunch.
We are traveling with our toddler so lunch is the most ideal time to try new places. This was absolutely worth the wait in line for lunch. We had the grilled octopus and sea bass. The grilled octopus was tender and delicious the sea bass was like but
We waited in line for 1.
5 hours and it was totally worth it. Definitely in the top three restaurants that we ate at in Portugal. The octopus in the octopus rice was probably the best octopus we've ever had in our life. So tender, we could cut it with a fork. The
Excellent
What a great little place! It may be a small restaurant, but the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The food was absolutely amazing — full of flavour and clearly made with care. The service was just as impressive: friendly, attentive, and nothing wa
Amazing - a must visit local restaurant!
Outstanding local food. V small but lovely restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere and incredible food - so good! The Octopus salad and the Octopus and rice were some of the best dishes we have ever eaten. Amazing (but it is small and gets v v busy so
Great small, local restaurant
Service and quality of food was excellent. However, the restaurant only seats 16 people total. So the 1-2 hour wait was a stretch. Once again, staff, service, and food was excellent. Just the wait time is off putting due to low seating capacity whi
Best meal ever.
Small menu but you know it’s gonna be good. Waiting - We came around 7 and there were 2 couples ahead of us. The line got longer and there was a group of 5 behind us. We got in about 20 minutes . Other people behind us waited at least 40 minutes
I wanted to say it wasn't worth the wait...but it so was worth it!
Like many people, I saw Taberna Dos Mercadores in videos online when I was preparing for my trip to Porto. I saw all of the recommendations to get there in advance of the opening and prepare for a long wait, so my mother and I planned to get there ar
MUST GO!
The most amazing food we had during our whole trip! Opens at 530, got there at 520 and waited till 645 to be seated (they only have 16 seats total). They also take resos on weekends and booking 3 months ahead so beware. Sea bass is delicious!
Got there 30 mins before open & got a table for 2.
I would reccomend getting Octopus baked rice, salted seabass, shrimp apps, and octopus appetizer. The pear with port wine dessert is so worth it! Sooo worth it!
Outstanding feed. 7 stars!!
What an amazing meal we had here at dos Mercadores. Waited outside with the early crowd at 5:15pm and were promptly seated by 5:45. No problems. Tiny, tiny space. Staff were great, atmosphere was great and the food was unbelivable. Octopus rice wa
Honestly think this is the best meal I've ever had.
Service, quality, ambiance all a 10/10. Started with the fish soup and the codfish croquettes, both came out hot and fresh. For our entrées, we got the seafood rice and the salted codfish. We also had with our meals, two bottles of green wine and a
Long queues don’t lie.
Walked past here one evening and noticed the long queue before opening. Came back later and we were lucky to get the last 2 seats. Food is plentiful and great quality. Service is first class too. We came back 2 nights later and joined the queue aro
Great meal! If you don't show up at time it opens you will
Great meal! If you don't show up at time it opens you will definitely be waiting and probably quite a while. But you don't need to show up 1 hour early like we did! I'd recommend showing up just 5 or 10 min before. It's a small pl
Worth the wait - Great Portuguese kitchen!
This tiny restaurant is in wonderful find. We walked passed it at lunch time and saw a huge queue outside. Always a good sign. So, we checked it out online and read its great reviews. We returned that evening and waited an hour for a table - and it w
Made a last minute decision to try Taberna Dos Mercadores.
The restaurant is very small and I had already read reviews about needing to arrive early. Unfortunately, one thing let to another, and we ended up arriving a few mins before opening and ended up needing to wait ~45 mins before being seated (since we
Good food
It’s a small restaurant with around 18-20 seats in a narrow street close to Ribeira. Reservation accepted but have to be made at least a month in advance. We didn’t make any booking. Thus, we queued for around 30 minutes for our seating. If
My cousin recommended this restaurant from her recent trip
My cousin recommended this restaurant from her recent trip to Portugal and it was a perfectly timed tip as we happened to be finishing up our day in Ribeira after exploring Gaia across the river. The restaurant is super tiny and only seats 16 -- co
Outstanding local cuisine near the river
This was a dinner highlight to remember. A quintessential hole in the wall taberna that seats maybe 12-16 total at a time. We were lucky with a reservation as there was a line. We enjoyed octopus salad, flaming shrimp, salt crusted sea bass, seafood
Some of the best food I have had while abroad.
It was recommended to us by a mix of locals and tourist foodies. Another small venue of only ~20ppl. No reservations, ,walk in only. The staff were wonderful, they gave us an extra dish with our dinner. The octopus rice is a big hit as it should be
Simply amazing.
16 seats. Line up out the door. Food is amazing. Service top notch. Had the octopus salad. Best I've ever had. Followed that with the clams. Very, very tasty. My spouse had the veal, medium rare, with smoked sausage and rice. Top notch. Very ten
The wait here was really long.
I'm not sure if it was worth the wait for me (it was about an hour wait), but the dishes I had here were tasty. I had the shrimp appetizer and octopus rice. The shrimp were very boozy, I was kind of surprised by that because typically it would b
Delicious, amazing server and very cozy ambiance.
Try their specialty rice and octopus.
We went by at 5pm and it looked like they were closed.
So I tried the door and they opened up. No line, no wait. Just us and one other couple. It was perfect! The food was great, octopus rice, shrimp, and fish soup. Some delicious bread and a glass of wine. We had the drunken pear for dessert and port of
Best restaurant in Porto!
Best meal we had in Porto! The seafood was amazing, staff was friendly & wine was exceptional! We couldn’t recommend it more!
I did not have an opportunity to enjoy a meal at this
I did not have an opportunity to enjoy a meal at this restaurant. We waited in line for a little under 3 hours only to be turned away when we were next in line. In all fairness a server came out about every 15 minutes to inform the line that closing
Delicious!!!
This was our favorite restaurant in Portugal. The restaurant is small and close to the kitchen so everything comes out hot and fresh! You should call ahead to make a reservation because the line is long to get in. We ended up calling a month ahead of
SKIP, SKIP, SKIP
This is a terribly operated restaurant. We got in line around 5:30 PM and were a party of 3. There weren't many people ahead of us, so we thought there was a good chance of getting seated. This would be true, if the restaurant operated with appreciat
Terrible Restaurant
Terrible restaurant, bad attitude, no sense of customer service, arrogant, not that great a menu, overrated. Avoidable
Unique and super small but not rushed.
We booked a few weeks ahead following a recommendation and were grateful when we arrived to see the queue outside of hopefuls! Staff were really attentive, limited menu (and meat / fish only) but delicious food and wine. Even with the queue (and a ve
Waited 1.
5 hours as there are a lot of people that want to eat here and only a 16 pax capacity. If you miss the first seating be prepared to wait awhile. Really small but cute space. The shellfish stew and octopus rice are musts. The salted fish is popular to
Seafood Heaven
My partner and I visited in April 2024 and we loved it. Reservations are essential! My partner had accidentally entered the reservation in his calendar on the wrong evening and we arrived the night AFTER the original reservation. Despite being packed
Worth the wait
What an amazing find!! Unfortunately we left it too late to make a reservation so we decided to queue up. It was a Wednesday evening and we joined the queue at 5.50pm there were 2 of us. The restaurant opens at 5.30pm the restaurant was full and ther
Great Restaurant Experience in Porto!
Worth the effort. I called multiple times about 6 weeks in advance for a reservation - keep trying they will answer eventually! Otherwise, there is a line up the block to try to get a seat w/o a reservation. The space is small and intimate, the se

Don't stand in line if you've ever had a good meal.
It's not that the food isn't tasty (it is)), or the staff is not friendly (they are), or the place is not cute(it is). It's that you can probably find another restaurant that is all these things without standing in line for between one to two hours.
Delicious cuisine and congenial service.
Inside or outside- both dining experiences recommended.
Wonderful first day in Porto! After our long travels,
Wonderful first day in Porto! After our long travels, getting settled in hotel and a quick rest we were starving. We didn't want to waste our first meal however on just any tourist trap. Taberna is the "real deal" from service to food/flavo

TL;DR -- Don't leave Porto without trying Taberna Dos Mercadores! The line and wait is daunting, but you can get in (hints in the longer summary). When you get in, the food is exquisite and you'll leave feeling that it was so worth the wait! The
Pretentious much? The host literally laughed in my face
Pretentious much? The host literally laughed in my face when I inquired about making reservations for a future date. I'll be taking my money elsewhere.
Amazing quality food and wonderful atmosphere
We had a lovely evening here, food is incredible. Such high quality ingredients and care goes into every bite. It is definitely worth queuing for but if you can call in advance and get a booking for the 7pm service as we did, even better. Thank you f
I wish I lived in Porto.
The food was phenomenal. The service was great and place had a warm ambiance. My 9 year old daughter loved the shrimp! I managed to try 1 piece before she at the rest. We loved the Octopus over rice as well...we scraped the dish clean.
Tiny restaurant, huge plates of delicious food 😋
This restaurant had been recommended to us by a local but we couldn’t book. Turned up at 7 and there was a queue. Decided to wait and I’m so glad we did. Food was delicious , hearty and excellent value. Huge portions. Staff worked almost manical
Simply stunning ..... I advise you to book.
Quite simply this little restaurant kitchen creates beautiful food in which the ingredients are the stars. I am unable to find fault with any aspect of this restaurant. Waiting staff were charming and, as has been said elsewhere here, patient despite

We only waited about 25 min after getting in line before opening and missed being in the first group of tables. The wait was worth it and everything was so good--high contender for being my favorite meal in Portugal. Service was great and quick, and
Lovely flavors and presentation, food was delicious and
Lovely flavors and presentation, food was delicious and great ambience. Loved this small restaurant, they make you feel like family.
Octopus Rice, yum.
I guess we were just lucky. No waiting. Had the octopus rice. Wonder how it was cooked to make octopus so soft. I will leave the wonder to the chef.
We came 10-15 minutes prior to opening time and it wasn't
We came 10-15 minutes prior to opening time and it wasn't early enough to make it for the first seating. We ended up waiting almost 2 hours for a table so my tip is to come early (maybe 30 minutes before opening). We ordered the pastel de bacalhau
Everything was delicious.
waiter recommended a bottle of wine that was outstanding. We got the cod, lamb ribs, and lemon meringue. It was a bit confusing outside because they only have limited seating and the door is locked and you just have to wait outside in line until they
