O Gaveto
The Matosinhos reference: charcoal fish and seafood rice
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
The answer locals give when asked for the best seafood in greater Porto. Fish is picked off the ice, grilled over charcoal or turned into the celebrated arroz de marisco, with a deep cellar of Douro and Port behind it. The dining room is old-school and the product irreproachable.
Editor's Tip
Reserve for lunch and let them steer you to whatever came off the Leixões boats that morning. Closed Tuesdays.
