Traditional Portuguese food in Porto
The Portuguese classics, now at Restaurante Senhor Zé.
Senhor Zé is a traditional, family-run restaurant. For that reason, not every dish on the menu is available every day — sometimes because certain ingredients are out of season, other times because we come across exceptional produce on unexpected days. We recommend calling the restaurant to confirm availability.
