Advantages: Good service, Large Portions, and tables. Disadvantages: Closed on Sundays.
...We had noticed a Restaurante sign in the little street that runs behind the Hotel, sorry I did not get the street's name, but if you find the Grande Hotel do Porto on Rua Santa Catarina, stand facing then look for alley to the right, goes down ,turn left about 40 yards the Resaurante Palmeira, dont be put off by the Snack Bar sign, enter by the door on the right down stairs then into the restaurant.
We had called in about 17:00 and asked for a table ... ...take a name. This concerned us a bit, after all its Saturday are they that slack they just say turn up, did not seem a good sign.
Need not have worried, when we entered our table was ready, there were also two large parties expected as tables were laid for 10 and 12, other tables were already occupied by locals out for the evening, a good sign for us.
I immediately liked the sizes of the tables, quite large, a good thing abroad where you need room ...
