About Burning Flame

Burning Flame is a restaurant located on Avenida da República in Matosinhos, Porto. It currently holds a 5.0-star rating based on 47 Google reviews. Finding information beyond that is tricky. Their hours aren't listed online, which can be a real problem if you're planning a visit. The restaurant category is the only one listed. It's hard to get a sense of the place without photos or a menu to browse. Given the high rating and number of reviews, there's clearly something that resonates with its customers, but knowing exactly what that is requires a leap of faith or a visit in person. Is it the seafood? The ambiance? The service? The lack of readily available information creates an air of mystery, forcing you to rely on the word of mouth that seems to be driving its popularity.
