About PHỞ XƯA - Cozinha Vietnamita
Batalha's answer to Porto's seafood-heavy dining scene fits about twelve people inside a room that reviewers consistently call cosy, and every seat fills fast. Everything here is made to order, so the wait is real — and worth it. The chicken pho and the beef pho lead the menu, the latter arriving with tender slices and a broth that earns the word comforting without any help from marketing; the vegetarian pho draws just as much praise, and the shrimp fried rice rounds out what is a deliberately concise list. The two women who run the kitchen and the floor are the kind of owners people mention by name even when they don't know their names — warm, attentive, the reason half the reviews end with "I'll be back before I leave Porto.
