O Maleiro

This is an archetypal local Douro restaurant. Shoulder-to-shoulder dinners, noisy, brightly lit, with the ambition since 1975 to fill  customers with unpretentious, hearty regional cooking. There are azulejos on the wall, soccer on the TV and plates filled with baked cod and roast-in-their-skins potatoes dripping with garlic and olive oil, or slow-roasted young goat. Don't come for a romantic dinner, but great for a slice of Douro life.
