Scala Palace

This restaurant was a great find. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly. Prices are very reasonable. I really enjoyed my spicy clam dish and my friend loved her spicy prawns and squid. They have a wonderful wine list as well. Next time I will skip the dessert.

It wasn't explicit in the reservation that the kitchen closed after 10pm and, as such, we weren't expecting it but, as it was a busy night at the restaurant, we accepted. I didn't know what “bar and grill” was, as it wasn't explicit, so I asked waiter “A” who just repeated “bar and grill” and turned his back on me, with terrible manners. Although I am Portuguese, my husband is not - when he asked “A” if he spoke English, he said he only spoke Portuguese. I tried to explain that we were only asking what was included in the grill and bar because it didn't say anything in the reservation about the kitchen closing at 10pm. “A” said he was not aware of any reservation and, when I tried to show him the TheFork, he refused to see it, not even looking at us. When my husband and I resumed our conversation in English, “A” interrupted us and began speaking in English to my husband. When we asked him if he spoke English or not, he with the greatest lack of decency “of course I speak English”.

Great restaurant to celebrate a birthday with the family. All the staff were very friendly, the food was very tasty, we really enjoyed it (it's not the first visit and it won't be the last).

The space is very well decorated, the service was super attentive and the main dishes were very well prepared. The only thing I didn't like as much was the caramel semifreddo, which in my opinion had more of a coffee flavor and the caramel flavor was barely noticeable. But the restaurant will become a mandatory stop every time you return to Porto.

The food is of quality, I liked the 3 dishes we tried, the service was very friendly, the room was very cozy and the prices were very reasonable.
