We reached Tram and took a look at the menu. There were already guests sitting at the terrace tables. We were worried it might not meet our usual standards, we had so fallen in love with Porto cuisine....our final meal before the flight home. We asked for an inside table. We were the only guests inside, but preferred to avoid the wind and noise of the passing traffic. Our waitress was a young blonde lady with the name of Catarina or Carolina...? She kept apologising for her English, but it was fine. I told her so. Anyways, I speak Portuguese. We ordered a Vinho Verde, a fish soup to share, squid and octopus for mains. And it was good! I would suggest you need to make a connection with the staff, so they know that you need their good service. The big negative was the long flights of steps to reach the rest rooms.

Really nice personal and great food. The location is also beautiful. read more Really nice personal and great food. The location is also beautiful.

This octopus is one of the best I have ever tasted, the octopus just melted in my mouth. This was unexpected as the restaurant was concentrating on serving pizzas, however I think they should concentrate on serving more seafood as they did a Fantastic job on the octopus.

Service was slow but it seemed to be that way on Porto in general so once you get used to that, order your drinks and relax into it. Strange loos in basement. But honestly after sightseeing in the heat fpr hours it was a pleasure to sit and enjoy nice food and view with cold beer.

Decided to return the next day, we asked one of the waitresses to clean a table so we could sit down, and she was extremely rude and shouted, 'Wait! I 'm busy. ' Needless to say, we walked away There are so many friendly places to eat in porto I wouldn 't recommend this one
