O Escondidinho
1931 Passos Manuel grande dame still cooking tripas à moda do Porto
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Opened in 1931 behind an unassuming Rua de Passos Manuel facade, this is one of Porto's grand old dining rooms, lined with Delft-style azulejos and 18th-century ceremony. The kitchen holds the city's classics: tripas à moda do Porto, roast kid, sole with capers, salt cod many ways. A genuine institution that has hosted kings and never chased fashion.
Editor's Tip
Order the tripas à moda do Porto here of all places; the room and the dish are the same age of confidence.
