Uva by Cálem

The food is excellent, with very good pasta, some of the best fish, and the best steak we have had in Portugal. They also have an excellent port wine selection (Calem also owns Barros, Burmester, and Kopke) and they make their own ice cream for dessert. Additionally, the walls are all glass so it makes people watching on one side and river watching on the other (with the incredible view of Porto and the Luis I bridge in the background) an extra treat. However, it the service that puts this place over the top! Carla, Stephanie, and Gustavo were all top notch and made the experience special. Carla was all smiles and seemed to be having the best time, even with all our silly touristy questions, and her attitude was infectious. And Stephanie remembered us from our last visit two years ago! These two deserve a raise because they really make guests feel well taken care of. In such a touristy area, they are unique in how genuine they are. UVA is a Porto/Gaia favorite!!!

Unique pod style restaurant on the waterfront at vila de gaia ( opposite side of douro river from porto) . Food was tasty as were the cocktails. Good portions and not expensive for the setting. Try the caramel fondant ,it was amazing. Staff were attentive but also relaxed. Book ahead!

Beautiful location along the river, great service and wonderful food! Lots of options and good portions sizes. For a touristy area, it was a decent price for good quality food!

The setting was beautiful. It is right on the Douro River with a view of Porto. The service was excellent. The food is good but not excellent.

We visited today at start of our first time in Porto. Staff were excellent and made sure we had a table with a lovely view of the bridge and the river. The set lunch was very good value for money and the pasta main was excellent. We plan to return again during our stay.
