← See all 64 spots on the interactive mapAt Marques, this is the most authentic Japanese omakase you can get in Porto. The room feels transportive, Chef Wataru crafts the menu masterfully, and the highlights include the extensive sushi course, chawanmushi, and tempura.
The owner's original day job was architecture. They now have this authentic omakase spot that serves the best fish from Porto and Japan. Highly recommended. It's located north of Porto, you'll need to take an Uber or Bolt there.
Small, cozy spot for more casual Japanese food when you want quality without the full omakase commitment.
Omakase using Portuguese ingredients - a brilliant fusion that actually works. Precise, intimate, and uniquely Porto.
Great for lunch curry and soba when you want something simple but delicious. A nice change of pace.
