PETISCARIA SANTO ANTÓNIO
A tasca for gourmet tourists with a variety of petiscos (tapas) as a speciality. There is no à la carte or menu here, all the dishes are displayed before your eyes and you will only have to choose. To whet your appetite: bean salad, gizzards with their port, ginger and curry sauce, and many others... All the dishes are cheerfully spiced and seasoned. The service is a little overwhelmed, so please be patient. You can accompany your dish with a glass of wine. And to finish, we recommend the homemade chocolate mousse. It's a real treat.

The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
FOOD: an advice if you visit this place, remember what you order, our pushy waiter "Miguel" made us eat a full "flame chorizo" without ordering it. It turned out to be the most expensive item on our bill :/ (by the way avoid that chorizo, cheap, fat and not Portuguese).
Also be aware each mini basket of bread is not included and charged separately.
SERVICE: it was very slow at first. We waited a solid 25min to see our 1st tapas come on our table, I mean tapas are dishes already cooked or prepared so couldn't really explain the slow service)...until the place got fully occupied then the service got a lot faster.
CONCLUSION: We realized a bit too late that the only portuguese thing in this place was the staff. After connecting all the dots, we understood they are dragging/slowing down the service to retain clients to fill up artificially their place.
Amount billed: 32 euros for 2 people. At that price point in Porto we could have indulged in a proper restaurant.
