Restaurante Casa Dias

Small enough to go unnoticed from the outside but once you go inside you feel the real authenticity. Excellent quality , generous portions , well priced , friendly service and simply delicious.

This place is a gem! Small family owned local restaurant, great service. Definitely recommend the sea bream and cabbage soup. I liked the sardine pate, but my mom liked the grilled sardines themselves. One of my favorite meals in Porto!!

I went to this place based on reviews. Reviews are spot on - authentic Portuguese cuisine. I had sardines, and my spouse had fried chicken with mushrooms, Calamari, and Vinho Verde. Everything was great. My 1st time eating whole grilled fish. It was a great experience. I saw multiple YouTube videos on how to eat whole sardines. Sardines might become my favorite sea food. Calamari was also great. In Canada, the breading is too thick, and Calamari is chewy.We didn't have room for dessert, but I saw baked apple. Looked delicious, wish I had saved space for dessert.

I'm picky about my fish and this place definitely ticks all the boxes of perfection. It's grilled perfectly, not too salty, bones easy to remove, plenty of flavour.Service was also great, the owner is lovely and friendly.Vibe-wise it's decent, its on a quiet road which isn't too busy.5/5 and would easily recommend for foodies.

If you don't have this desert your nuts!!!!Everything else is fantastic as well. Try the cald verde. The cake is called Bolo Bolacha. "Amazing"!!

Absolutely delicious Portuguese local food!Opened late and did not chase us out after closing.We had the cod croquettes, goat cheese and olive and fish which were all very tasty.They had some desserts in the window of which we tried the biscuit cake and would highly recommend!

We saw the good reviews and while the place is unassuming we decided to go in. So glad we did! All the food is authentic Portuguese. Cooked to perfection, well flavored. Tried grilled sardines for first time and they were delicious. Family owned and run and they were a delight to talk to. Highly recommend.

Restaurante Casa Dia is a true gem hidden in plain site. Located on the fringe of the tourist area it is a cozy family run authentic Portuguese restaurant.After a long day of travel to Gaia, we were fortunate to find this local gem right around the corner from our hotel. We immediately felt welcomed. Thankfully, they were open late. We did not feel rushed at all and took our time enjoying our meal.There is outdoor and indoor seating available. During peak meal times the restaurant filled up quickly. The food was flavorful, the ambiance was perfect, the service was attentive and exceptional, and the portions were very generous. Prices were very reasonable for the location.We loved seeing the crayon drawings of the owner's grandchildren hanging on the walls.We had such a great experience on our first visit that we returned again for dinner another night.Items we ordered and highly recommend:Pão (bread)Sopa de Legumes (vegetable soup)Douada Grelhada (grilled Seabream)Bolo de Bolacha E Carameli (carmel biscuit cake)Cafe (coffee)Bacalhau á Braga (fried cod with onion sauce)Wishing you many more years of continued success!And hope to dine with you again soon!Obrigada
