About Orpheu Porto - Tapas & Cocktails

Cocktails are the reason most people find Orpheu Porto, and the sangria and the drinks menu keep them there. The tapas hold up too: the hummus, the goat cheese salad, the bruschetta and the beef carpaccio are the plates that get mentioned most, and the kitchen puts enough flavour into them that one visitor came back three nights running. Upstairs there is a wine and cocktail bar with cured meats and sausages, and the staff will talk you through the differences between the white wines or spend time on Port if you show any interest. Tables sit out in a narrow sloping passage with the whole neighbourhood walking past, which makes for good people-watching. The music runs loud enough to set a mood, the service is consistently described as warm and attentive, and the room pulls off that rare thing: casual enough for a drink, considered enough for dinner.

Orpheu Porto - Tapas & Cocktails is the neighbourhood spot done right — unhurried, unpretentious, with a wine list that gives it an edge over most of its category.
