Chama Porto Reviews
Wow, amazing restaurant. Fabulous food & fabulous staff
This restaurant was recommended to us. We booked a few months in advance. This has been one of the highlights of Porto. The ambience in the restaurant is perfect. Absolutely loved the music (you need to sell the playlist!) There was a great varie
Lovely place! THE BEST EXPERIENCE IN PORTO, BEST FOOD & BEST SERVICE!
This place is amazing—truly an experience! They offer a variety of high-quality dishes in a “surprise menu,” including fresh fish, meats, and tartares, all beautifully prepared. The staff is incredibly kind and fun, creating a lively and welco

The restaurant and staff really deserves a kudos.. we went there for dinner, surprise menu degustation(me, my partner and our 11 months old child) . From the first minute they were really welcoming, arranged the best table to suit our toddler, explai
Unanimously A Fun restaurant with Wonderful food!
This place is amazing and so much fun!! We came for dinner as a recommendation from a friend who has a home in Porto. We were not disappointed. We were 1/2 hour late because of a communication glitch but they called us while we were in our uber.
Nice place
Nice restaurant, nice people and fresh food but the hype before has been build up too much. Music from the 70ties and 80ties worked for me
Book your table now!
Absolutely amazing experience with the most welcoming and knowledgeable staff - if you're in Porto this is a must. If there's anything you like more or less they'll adjust happily - but you'll want double of everything.
Amazing family experience. Created special kids menu. Service was exceptional. Deserves the 5 stars. DJ’g ✨
Amazing family experience with special kids menu. Service was next level and music took us across decades & continents. 5/5
Special place - make a reservation!!!
Wonderful neighborhood restaurant with a unique approach to dining. You chose one your beverage and they bring you a five to seven course meal based on what’s fresh in the market. The food was spectacular. They will honor any food allergies you ma
A Must Go
Dining at restaurant Chama is quite unique. Anna who greets you on arrival is like a long time friend. The food, which changes on the whim of the chef and comes in generous waves is drawn form whatever is fresh that day. At the end of the evening Ann
Surprise
This restaurant has no menu but serves 6 "surprise" courses. All courses were delicious from tuna sushi, to warm goat cheese in a port sauce to seafood risotto to pork belly. The wines are reasonable and good. They offer an aparitif on the
Fabulous!
What a fun night we had at this lovely restaurant. 6 courses and you don’t choose, each one was delicious! Great atmosphere so relaxed and fab wines/cocktails. Anna looked after us so well. Best night in Porto so far You must visit!!
Chama Surprise
Read great reviews about Chama but failed to read that it was a surprise menu. Ended up being the highlight of all our meals in Portugal and Spain. 3 starters, 2 entrees, dessert and drinks and a shot at the end of a 3 hour magnificent meal. Fantast
Great experience and quality food !
Fabulous meal served by friendly and bubbly staff ! All courses were delicious- especially the fresh tuna - melted in your mouth. A great evening and experience with great quality food . Definitely worth the money!
Must try resto in Porto
Hands down best experience and food from our whole Portugal trip. Staff are lively and friendly. Food delicious. Cocktails unique!
Would have awarded 6 stars if I could
Not sure what recent reviews were based on, certainly nothing like our experience! All meals that we had on this surprise menu were hot if they were meant to be and cold as required if salady stuff. All meals were very well presented by lovely serve
Very slow service.
Waiters were totally inattentive. Each small plate came thirty minutes after the other. Waiters seemed uninterested and distracted... not at all worth it. One small meat based dish? For 42 euros?? Get outta here.
2 different nights, 2 very different impressions
Mixed review here, I've been twice and was really impressed the first time when I took my work team, we all loved the relaxed atmosphere, the food was great and we had a great night. Guy serving was quite entertaining, although he made one comment th
An exceptional experience!
After reading such great reviews on a travel FB page, we decided Chama was a must try. Upon entering, we were overwhelmed with good vibes, great music, and incredibly friendly staff! We began with delicious drinks that were inspired by what we like.
Great service , good food at a reasonable price.
Difficult to get to. Small side street
An all round exquisite experience.
Everything about Chama was exquisite. The service, decor, drinks, the brilliant music playlist and the some of the best food we have ever tasted.
Fabulous Evening
Booked the Chama restaurant as a surprise for my husband’s birthday (after reading reviews) so glad I did as it did not disappoint. We had a fabulous evening we were made to feel very welcome by all the members of staff, the food was amazing as was
Not worth the time or money
Very disappointed. Fixed Menu. Service was lacking in professionalism. Server often socializing with others in restaurant that appeared to be acquaintances. Long wait period between courses. Kitchen staff observed going outside to smoke. At on
Great Food in Porto!
Superb restaurant! Great vibe and greater food. 10 course meal made w the freshest ingredients of the day - each a surprise! Wonderful service. Make a reservation!
A cannot miss experience
Amazing food and atmosphere. At the time we left, we felt like we were part of a family. It’s a small team who really cares about your experience and the food you eat.
We went to Chama as the menu was a surprise.
Definitely interesting concept. I got us reservations 2 weeks in advance (perhaps since it was over December holidays). The restaurant is quite alternative, the decor is cool and different, even had an out of tune Piano, which one of the other guests

Wow one of a kind restaurant! It's highly recommended to make a reservation via email with Chama. At least 2 months in advance! People line up and they only take people with reservations and I think if there's any remaining open times, then they tell
Exquisite meal with phenomenal service.
The entire experience was five star. Thank you Ana for fitting us in this evening. Ana's personal service was above and beyond my expectations. The entire team was happy, excited and it was great. I recommend to anyone visiting Porto to have the surp

Great service Food were so delicious Awesome atmosphere It's an artistic expression of cooking with lots of LOVE!
Reserved a table a few months in advance to treat hubby.
Heard lots of raves about chef and fun atmosphere. Checked all the boxes. Each dish was curated with local and fresh ingredients. Welcome cocktail kicked off a night that was filled with fun and felt like a vibrant dinner party with friends. Staff cl
One of a kind experience.
Staff and food were wonderful. Reservations required for a pre-set meal. Goal is for the staff to spend time with clients as they come in. Interesting presentations of fish, poultry, beef and veggies throughout the 8 courses (we might have lost track
Best Meal in Portugal!
You just Have to Go Here! We were lucky enough to get a reser albeit at 930 pm! Don’t usually eat this late but so happy to go for the experience of the Chefs Degustation Menu! The whole experience was amazing; FIVE starters, a pre main course, the
Stunning!
An amazing restaurant! A surprise menu of eight courses, all deliciously prepared. Complimentary welcome cocktail and speciality shot. Fantastic atmosphere and friendly service. Great value - we’d love to return..
An Experience
Food was really good and will not disappoint. Review on Trip Advisor was bang on. Our only frustration was that the host offered drinks and bread and was not transparent that this was extra on the bill. BEWARE as the host is a real salesperson!
Chama was outstanding!
Such an outstanding evening at Chama! The only thing better than the food was the staff. They were so friendly and wonderful. We enjoyed every minute of it! Quite possibly our favorite meal of our trip to Portugal.
One of our top 3 experiences anywhere!
Read about Chama and booked a few months out for our visit in early January. We had no idea what to expect - everything would be a surprise. We arrived and were quickly taken to our cozy table for 3. Once by one, dishes began arriving family style -M
A must visit
Can’t rate this place highly enough. The service was fantastic and the food was amazing. Loved that each dish was a surprise. We had a mix of fish , meat and vegetable dishes , all freshly prepared and extremely tasty ( the ingredients of each dish
Sooo tasty
I didn’t know what to expect from the place, but it was amazing. All of the meals offered were delicious, I liked the way how the tastes were combined.

Fantastic experience in Porto, I highly recommend it.
All the food was tasty and the service was outstanding. It's a fun experience with a good vibe going on in the room. You don't get to pick what you are going to be served, they give you dishes based on what they get fresh that day. I think it was an

When we asked if they could accommodate a vegetarian, they very apologetically informed us that they couldn't, as the menu was a fixed menu. Instead, they walked us up the street to a neighboring restaurant that they recomendad, and invited us to com
Connect with users posting reservations for Chama Porto
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Chama Porto. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Chama Porto at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Chama Porto page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FulfilledThread16, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FulfilledThread16 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FulfilledThread16 for any questions Peter may have as FulfilledThread16 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FulfilledThread16 now uses their connections at Chama Porto to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FulfilledThread16 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FulfilledThread16 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FulfilledThread16's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Chama Porto!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
