About this place Gruta

Gruta is a restaurant at Rua de Santa Catarina 447, at the northern end of Porto's main shopping street. It serves creative modern cooking and is listed as gay-friendly, not a gay venue. Google reviewers rate it 4.7 from about 1,200 reviews, with the food and staff singled out most often. Prices are upper-mid-range. Book for weekend evenings, though some outdoor tables may be available for walk-ins.

During my four-day visit to Porto, I was always on the lookout for great food. Of all the lunches and dinners I had in the city, I must say this one was something I wish I could find the right word to describe. "Excellent" is the closest I can come. Besides the wonderful atmosphere and fantastic food, the service was excellent, especially from a young lady named Lulu. She made the experience even more special. This restaurant is worth every penny.

A little hidden but a genuine gem of a restaurant. Staff are super friendly and menu is broad. The food is really good and there’s a great atmosphere.

What an amazing place! The food is simply delicious. And the service is perfect; the attention to detail is impressive, they work in wonderful harmony. I was so surprised, I would go back a thousand times. Please try the yucca, coconut, and cheese dessert; it's incredible.

This is a wonderful restaurant. Service was outstanding the entire evening. All the staff had large smiles all evening. We had no reservation on a Saturday evening but they were able to accommodate us with outside seating. The food was impeccable, with a very interesting menu. My moqueca was an absolute delight and the cassava, coconut and cheese dessert was incredibly inventive. All positives for a truly wonderful restaurant.
