Full description

A Margarida sits in the coastal suburb of Leça da Palmeira, away from Porto's main tourist circuit, and reviewers say it rewards the trip with fresh seafood and a genuinely local atmosphere. Mentioned dishes include fish served inside bread, fish-based starters, olives, bacalhau and fried fish.

The owner is noted for being helpful even to guests who speak no Portuguese. With a 4.6 rating and mid-range pricing, it works for couples, families or friends settling in for a long lunch or dinner.

Reviews

What a find! Fabulous local restaurant, the best service, fantastic seafood and a truly friendly local atmosphere. The owner was so helpful even though I spoke no Portuguese. The first proper meal I’ve had since sailing here from England. I cannot recommend it enough. Obrigado!!!!
