O Lusitano - Senhora da Hora

Lovely unpretentious fish restaurant in up and coming Matosinhos. We shared sea fresh clams in a garlicky broth (sharing is the Portuguese way, they said) with very good bread. Then a platter of fresh charcoal grilled sardines with some traditional boiled and salted potatoes smothered in garlic, oil and butter. Incredible. My hair still smells of charcoal.... A lovely bottle of vino verde too. Home made puddings creme brûlée was outstanding. Take the A line metro from Porto to Brito Capelo and head towards the sea, you know you want to.

Excellent sea bass cooked in salt. We were a little skeptical but the result was not salty. You pay by the kg. So we got one for all 3. Great service. Was nervous when we arrived for7:30 reservation but the restaurant filled up with local diners. Not a tourist area. Would return every time.

Na rua Heróis de França em Matosinhos, recordista mundial de grelhadores por m2, encontramos O Lusitano, carregadinho de tradição, simbolismo e porque não dizer, alguma grandeza. Desde já grandeza na simpatia no atendimento e na variedade de escolha de peixe fresco que a montra nos oferece: Raia, Robalo, Peixe-Espada, Ruivo, Dourada, Pargo, Carapau, Cavala, Rodovalho, Bacalhau, Lulas e Chocos. Tudo fresco e pronto a beijar o calor do carvão na grelha!

Restaurante tradicional, especializado em pratos de peixe, sobretudo grelhados. Gosto muito de lá ir comer um bom peixinho grelhado. As donas são muito simpáticas e atenciosas.

Hemos comido muy bien, filete enorme de ternera con patatas y ensalada, salmón, sardinas y calamares. Con ensalada de pimientos también muy buena. Sin vino, 50€ para 5 personas. La señora es encantadora.
