About Escama - Sea Cuisine
Seafood done with real intention is rarer in Porto than it should be, and Escama fills that gap on Flores with a kitchen that earns its price. The tasting menu is what most people come for, and the octopus, cod and ceviche are the dishes that keep showing up in what people write afterwards — the sea bass not far behind. The room has river views, and on a clear evening the bridge sits right in the frame. Wine pairing is taken seriously here: staff will let you try both reds by the glass before you commit. Amrit is the name that appears again and again across recent visits — attentive, present, the kind of service that notices before you ask. The brownie closes the meal for those who make it that far.
Escama - Sea Cuisine is the neighbourhood spot done right — unhurried, unpretentious, with a wine list that gives it an edge over most of its category.
In the last 90 days, Escama - Sea Cuisine has drawn 18 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.

Staff attentiveness
Five recent reviews name the same staff members by name (Amrit, Julisa) for professionalism, warmth, and remembering guests across visits.
