Vinhas D'alho Restaurant
Condiments of olives, soft cheese and bread
Port White wine & soda water Apperitif
One of the best surprise stumbled upon at this restaurant!
Bom Karacter Duoro 2012 white wine
I am fairly addicted to this wine label!
It has the scent and character of a typical burgundy Mersault White wine!
Camarao salteado com molho de caril e cerefolio
(Sauteed Shrimp with curry sauce and chervil) EUR10
Ameijoas a Bolhao Pato
(Clams Bolhao Pato Style) EUR10
Second bottle! Casa de compostela is not as good as the first bottle!!! But drinkable.
Confit de pato com pure de aipo e cebola roxa e Vinho do Porto
(Duck confit with celery puree and red onion in Port wine) EUR17
Polvo braseado em alecrim com migas soltas de greios
(Grilled octopus, flavored with rosemary and turnip leaves mixed with traditional corn breadcrumbs) EUR18
Queque de morango e banana com gelado de chocolate branco
e morangos caramelizados em Porto ruby
(Strawberry and banana hot cake, white chocolate ice cream
and caramelized strawberries in Ruby Port Wine) EUR6.50
Dinner here is great in the beginning, especially thrilled with how fresh the clams and prawns are! The Bom Karacter 2012 white wine was exceptionally stroke of good judgement! Its really affordable and great! When i finished the 1st bottle, and request for the 2nd bottle of Bom Karacter, they apparently sold out and recommended the Casa de compostela which did not fulfilled my craving for prior bottle. The Duck confit was really good and the octopus is really tender!
Dessert was very creative use of local Port Wine to soaked the strawberries!
Highly recommend this restaurant when in Porto, Portugal
