Mauritânia Grill Leça Da Palmeira

This restaurant embodies all that is deplorable about dinning in the Porto area. Highly overpriced starters that no one asked for is still tradition; a bill that is wrong and in excess; and a waiter that yells at other waiters. Very relaxing... While some of the food was good (the main course was fish fillets and it was good more on this topic below), the starters we didn 't order but still had were forgetful. Salpicao was just the worst you can probably have in the entire country. Gambas (giant shrimp) were actually disgusting. Getting back to the fish fillets: if you 're planning on sharing this meal, don 't. These are served at exactly one per person while its price would serve up to 5 anywhere else in the city. To sum up, coming here made us feel in stress (waiter), hungry (one miserable fillet) and cheated (bill). In a city of 1000s of restaurants don 't waste your precious time with this one.

I'm just about to leave without eating, because I waited 30 min for a drink, and then another 20, to be told that what I ordered FROM THE MENU wasn't actually available; I had to call the server directly just to learn THAT about my food?! 1 server for about 40 people.... absolutely ridiculous service! Especially for the price-point! I had to go inside and find someone just to order a SECOND CHOICE... still never even got the starter, after being here almost an hour.

The food was fine, but the service was extraordinarily bad. We got ignored by the staff and the waiter refused to give us more than one menu (we were three people). When we ordered a bottle of wine we were the only ones not getting the cooling coat for the bottle. Maybe we were mistreated for not speaking Portuguese, the waiter got annoyed when we asked if there was an English menu. Just a strange experience…

Great fresh fish! Mainly locals around and that makes their quality clear

Comida muito bem feita e muito saborosa. Ambiente tranquilo ideal para um jantar às duas.
