Restaurante Solar da Alegria in Porto

"Pleasant restaurant with great daily offer of dishes for good price. Very kind staff, they offered us a glass of desert wine for free after dinner."

"One of my favorite restaurants in Porto. Specialized in grilled food. Awesome relation between price and quality. Great service and a great wine selection."

"I arrived at 18:45 and the place was fairly empty, 15 minutes later it was full... I had a really good stake, the best stake I've had in quite a while! I'm not sure if they had done anything to the rice or if it was just the meat juices but it tasted really good. I would be very happy to eat here again :)"

"One of very rare restaurant open after 15h, thumbs up! Also the grilled steak is fantastic! We missed the English menu."

"I got amazing lunch time here! The fish is fresh tastes great! : I love my steak It’s really tender. The second day we’ve also been here, I truly recommend this place to get your food."

"A true gem for anyone who loves authentic Portuguese food. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with genuine hospitality that makes you feel right at home. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for both a relaxed dinner and a special occasion. The food is outstanding—rich, comforting flavors that clearly come from tradition and care. Every dish tastes fresh and thoughtfully prepared, from the perfectly seasoned seafood to the hearty, soulful classics that remind you of home-style cooking. Portions are generous without sacrificing quality, and everything pairs beautifully with their wine selection. Once you try it, you’ll keep coming back."

"The Pros: The Bife was incredible! Food is tasty, prices are reasonable and portions are great. The Cons: As you sit in there’s a bread basket which you may assume is complimentary. Don’t make that mistake! If you take anything from it they will add it to the bill at the end, the same as the butter and cheese they offered for it. This would’ve been fine if the bread had been fresh, but it tasted stale, and the butter was margarine from a mini spread which wasn’t even enough for all the bread. I felt like this was a way to trap tourists who are unaware that the bread isn’t complimentary. Being up front with the customers costs nothing and provides a better experience. Other than that, the food was great, but I don’t appreciate restaurants sneaking things on my bill."

"Delicious home-style typical dishes, super fast service (we walked in 20 mins before the kitchen closed), good portions and prices, friendly service and atmosphere (Portugal winning the game helped!)."
