About Restaurant Raiz
Restaurant Raiz is a Portuguese restaurant located in the Flores area of Porto, at Largo dos Lóios 8. It's open every day of the week from 7 PM to midnight. With nearly 1800 reviews averaging 4.5 stars, Raiz is clearly a popular spot. What I appreciate is the consistency; it seems like most people have a solid, reliable experience. From the sheer number of photos available (nearly 1800!), you can get a good feel for the place before you even go. It looks like a cozy, somewhat intimate setting, but be aware that photos can be deceiving. I've seen places online that look amazing, but are cramped and noisy in reality. Still, the reviews and photo count suggest Raiz is doing something right. It focuses on traditional Portuguese cuisine, so expect those familiar, comforting flavors. It's got a lot of competition in Porto, a city overflowing with great food, but Raiz seems to hold its own.
