Wine-barrel tables, lanterns and funky Porto murals create a hip, laid-back space for sampling a stellar selection of Portuguese wines and nicely prepared petiscos (tapas). These range from flame-grilled chouriço (spicy sausage) to spicy sardine roe, cheeses and conservas (canned fish). Quiet enough for conversing, it's also a chilled spot to begin or end an evening over drinks.
