O Buraco

It is hard to come into this downtown traditional restaurant and not have to wait. Both upstairs and downstairs rooms are usually full, particularly at lunchtime. Homemade courses are constantly being served; one of their most famous, the veal pie, is difficult to find elsewhere in the city. But there's more: fine hake rissoles as appetizers, fried sardines with rice and beans, “rojões” diced pork, duck rice and “tripas” tripe stew Porto-style. Everything at an affordable price.
