À Bolina is hands down the best and not only Portuguese restaurant we got to know during our travels through Portugal. Of course, there are probably "better" ones but most certainly not within this category – which also means price range – and certainly there are no better waiters, period. We have been there two times and although there might be people who endure more wine which, to be honest, results in being better guests, Pedro and his colleagues were warm and welcoming, knowledgable when it comes to food, wine and port and first and foremost you do not get the ubiquitous impression that it is merely the want of economic success that powers this wonderful small restaurant a couple hundred meters away from the touristy hotspots of Porto.
We had a variety of tapas, red wine that was better than it price suggested and both the 10- and 20-years-old Tawny by Quinta de Santa de Eufémia, one of the smaller and perhaps underrated producers of the Douro valley. Combined with tasteful music that one would expect mostly from larger and more expensive restaurants it became a place we will certainly return to one day. Not just for what is written here but also to give the tip I wasn‘t able to leave at the second evening. The postcards on the walls by many, many grateful guests from all countries serve as a well-earned proof of nearly global appreciation.
Excelent dinner and wine. The waiter Nuno made everything he could to make the evening even more enjoyable. The food was excelent and the reccomended wine beyond our expectations. And the price.... we coud not believe that we had such an excelent meal and such a wonderful wine for just 55 eur (for 3 persons!!). We will definetly recommend this place to our friends from Romania and abroad and we will be back next time we will be in Porto!
Just ate and drank here! Absolutely loved it! Fabulous wine, tapas and gin. Lovely staff who helped us choose wine/food/gin and a really cozy vibe! I would recommend this place over and over again. Thanks so much for a lovely evening.

Thank you for such a gorgeous evening! Food, service and wine all incredible , and the best place we went in Porto.
Ce resto est incontournable entre convivialité, tapas et dégustation de vin portugais tout cela entouré de très bon conseil. Votre idée de carte est très sympathique et il faut jouer le jeu... "ne changer rien"
Highly recommended! Excellent tapas, perfect sangria, but what makes it really special is The attitude to the client : ) The owners create great atmosphere, perfection in portuguese version ! Great surprise !

Otima opcao para um petisco!
Really great food and wine from north region of Portugal.
Great spot Machado!
Lovely tapas bar on the riverfront that welcomed me as a solo diner - not the usual tapas customer. Staff explain items on the menu & provided advice on how much to order. Very good range of drink options, food was delicious & service very friendly. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic food, ambiance, and hospitality. Located a bit of the normal tourist route, this is in my opinion the best restaurant I have tried in Porto. Loved the personal, and friendly service even when we had dinner at 00.30! Hope to come back soon!
Accueil très chaleureux. Charcuterie et fromages traditionnels de qualité. On a passé une très bonne soirée :-)
We stumbled across this place on our way home and we are so glad we did! Such a lovely bar and the waiter (I can't recall his name but he was from Montreal) was so friendly and knowledgeable. His recommendations of different ports to try were excellent. Will be back the next time we are in Porto.

Had an excellent dinner for our anniversary. Pleasant atmosphere, a real treat when you get a nice presentation of the food before you order it. Keep up the good work! Love from Macedonia!
