Step into Salta O Muro, the unpretentious Matosinhos fish restaurant locals swear by. Share fried sardines and grilled sea bass over house wine in a warm, rustic room.

📖

Full description

Salta O Muro in Matosinhos, the fishing district just north of Porto, serves mostly fish dishes in a deliberately rustic room that reviewers compare to eating at a grandmother's house. Fried sardines, sea bass and grilled fish are the dishes singled out, often shared across the table and paired with the house wine.

Waiters speak limited English, but the hospitality and willingness to help are repeatedly praised. With a 4.6 rating across nearly 1,700 reviews and mid-range prices, it is a very local experience that suits couples and families who don't mind a simple setting.

Reviews

A very local experience but not to be missed. Don't feel intimidated by the rustic looks. The people are warm and the food is great. There fish dishes are good for sharing and the house wine accompanied the food well.
