Matosinhos, Porto

Working fishing port north of Porto reached by metro. Lunchtime grilled-fish street where every taberna runs a charcoal grill on the pavement.

Matosinhos is the working fishing port north of Porto, one metro ride away and a different city in spirit. Its lunchtime grilled-fish street sees every taberna running a charcoal grill on the pavement, the catch priced by the kilo. This is the best simple fish eating in greater Porto.

The full Matosinhos food guide is still being researched. In the meantime, see the Porto food guide for the places we cover, or the neighbourhood index.
