What Zula Wilderman likes about A Despensa:
Okay, this place was really good. I can see why they have 5 stars and thousands of reviews on yelp. The Burrata was the best part. The pasta was very good! Many options, super friendly staff and they were definitely aware of the contact. Do not order the bread, it is €3 and it is like Multigrain cracker. View all feedback.

What Gonçalo Gonçalves doesn't like about A Despensa:
Weird cuisine. My pork dish was severely undercooked. They did warn me that it was going to be medi-rare, but I actually never expected it to be half raw. Pink at best. I don't know if I missed a memo but the last I heard...is that it's a very bad idea to eat uncooked pork. But no problem, the friendly staff replcadef it with a mushroom and truffle risotto. Which was fine at first. However, it was salted and not stir... View all feedback.

Pretty poor hospitality. There are other great choices for gluten-free food in Porto, spend your money elsewhere.
