5 Oceanos

We stopped by here for our last dinner in Porto (technically it is in the city of Matosinhos).

Great restaurant. Our waiter was a little assuming in what we wanted to order (ie we mentioned cod, and that order came through… which wasn’t a bad thing in the end).

To start, we ordered macallan 12 (very generous pour). Then ordered the scallops, Octopus, and fried cod. The Octopus and cod came with other things like vegetables and potatoes and chips (which made things extra filling). also chips were made by the restaurant.

Food and vibe overall was good. Would come back here.

One thing they didn’t have but we wanted to try was percpbes (aka barnacle)

Encore Une Fois

We ate here for a dinner at Inverness. Got to say even though we had to wait an hour for our reservation, it was worth it.

First the piano player / singer was amazing. Also the drinks were good (got a raspberry and lemon martini and an Aperol spritz).

For appetizer the pork belly was phenomenal. And for the main, got the cod (it had mussels, but safely ignored that). Would get everything again.

Ubiquitous Chip

First restaurant we ate at in Scotland! Was highly recommended at the west end of Glasgow (near University of Glasgow which is why there were a lot of students). I really liked it (the friend I was with wasn’t as impressed).

We mainly loaded on starters first. Tried the scallops (which was my favorite), then a salmon dish followed by haggis (that Scotland dish wish I was willing to try but probably wouldn’t be keen on getting it again).

For drinks got an espresso martini and a whisky drink.

For my main got the cod with lobster cake. I liked the cod, but would probably skip out on the lobster cake next time.
