Rei dos Galos de Amarante

My wish for everyone who visits Porto is to have a culinary guide as devoted as my landlady Joana, whose promise was to never steer me to any restaurant that did not "remind me of my Portuguese grandmother’s cooking." This place is extraordinary. Already plotting my return visit.

121 Rua das Taipas.

Fish soup, in this case gilthead seabream, known in Portugal as "dourada" or "golden."

Roasted veal short ribs. Delicately tender, most likely cooking all morning (or all night).
