The market
Strings of onions and red chillies hanging over the produce stalls at Mercado do Bolhão, on a Saturday afternoon.
Porto, Portugal — seafood-first Coming 2027
We found the good stuff. Come and eat it.
We ate our way through Porto's charcoal grills, tile-walled tabernas and tapas trail so you don't have to guess — small plates, wine, beer, and the best seafood we could find, built from the trip that started it with Dave and Tom.
What's on the trail
Four stops from the trip that started it
This is what we actually did in Porto — not a concept, but a route we followed once and are still talking about. If you're planning a Porto food tour built around grilled seafood, tapas and good wine, this is the route we'd take you on.
02 — Matosinhos
The tapas trail
One petisco at a time across a string of Matosinhos restaurants — small plates, cold beer or vino.
03 — Afurada
The charcoal grills
Grilled fish, sardines, tiger prawns and a steak on the bone, cooked on grills set right on the cobbles outside Taberna São Pedro, in the fishing village of Afurada.
04 — Sunset
A proper wind-down
The rooftop of a bar in Matosinhos, a strawberry cocktail, and the sun going down into the sea.
Why this exists
We didn't plan a business. We planned a weekend break.
Three of us went to Porto for music, food, wine and port, and came home with the idea for an entire tour. Right now this is a very small, very well-fed side project: the site, the domain, and an Instagram we're actually posting to.
Help us find out
Would you take this tour?
We're working out whether this should be a real thing. If you'd join a guided seafood and tapas trail in Porto, bring a group, or want to be part of it, tell us — it takes a minute.
