The Wine Barrels - Porto

Ate here several times during my new year break, great food and excellent local wine. Friendly and knowledgeable service. They do a great Brunch !

Drink some wine and sit along the Douro River. Recommend a reservation.

Excellent wine selection with reasonable prices, delicious cheese and very friendly staff. The view is breathtaking and despite the seemingly touristic area, this wine bar is a must for all wine lovers. I recommend this place to my friends and recommend it to anyone who goes to Porto. Greetings from Poland to the nice lady who gave us a great presentation of local wines!

Situated along the bank of the River Douro and access to the restaurant from the street behind running parallel very nice restaurant with good friendly service and would recommend! There is a whole host of wines to sample here and not being familiar with them the waiter was very knowledgeable on which wine to order to suit my palette given the flavours I usually enjoy. Shared some bruschetta to begin which was fresh and tasty. My husband ordered a pizza with rocket, tomato and cheese which he enjoyed but not as much as if it offered pepperoni upon! The choices were limited in this respect. For me I ordered a lovely dish of creamy, flavoursome tagliatelle with mushroom and cheese and smoked ham. Wow! This was so nice and very moreish. The smoked ham a taste sensation in itself. Sadly I couldn’t finish my meal it was huge!! I felt really bad for not finishing and advised the waiter I had consumed half yet it didn’t seem to make an indent! Portuguese portions so recommend sharing a main course with your other half. Hence the title of fully blown barrels boom! I would definitely dine here again when in Porto.

We were warmly welcomed by friendly staff, our waiter was really helpful with great wine recommendations, he was very knowledgeable. We had the meat and cheese sharing board, exceptional value for money, lots of choice, well presented. Great night, would recommend a visit
