After our flight from Montreal to Porto we had booked a room at the O Valentim Hotel in Matosinhos. It was raining when we left Montreal, raining when our flight backtracked to Toronto, and raining when we arrived in Porto.

Our room was not ready when we got to the hotel, so we wearily moved to the dining room and ordered lunch. Wow, it was excellent. By chance we spoke with a French couple later in the day. The husband said, "Have you tried the dinner here? It's very good". So we did. Again, excellent.

Then after our walk we returned to Porto and a Portuguese friend who lives nearby in Foz told us she frequently brings business guests there for dinner.

Bottom line - excellent food, grilled seafood is featured, great service, and lower prices than in Porto itself. Meal for two with a nice bottle of wine is less than 80 euros. Upstairs dining room overlooks the harbor. Reserve a table with a view.

On the Camino, BTW. Rooms are good also.

Bom apetite!
