Chef José Avillez's restaurant on Rua Mouzinho da Silveira, between São Bento and the Ribeira: Portuguese cooking with twists, open every day.

José Avillez in Porto
Cantinho do Avillez is the casual restaurant of the Lisbon chef José Avillez, with a branch on Rua Mouzinho da Silveira, the street that runs down from São Bento station to the Ribeira. The dining room is cosy and relaxed, decorated by Ana Anahory and Felipa Almeida with walls of painted crockery. The cooking is Portuguese with influences from elsewhere, designed for sharing.
What to order
Some dishes the house shows off: the red duck curry with rice, the marinated scallops with avocado cream and Alentejo bread crumbs and, for dessert, the toucinho-do-céu with raspberry sorbet. It has midday menus and an à la carte.
When to go
It opens every day from 12:30 to 23:00, with no mid-afternoon closure: useful for a late lunch on the way down from the Clérigos Tower or back from the Ribeira, also on Sunday. Book on its website or by phone, especially for dinner.

Qué pedir: the red duck curry with rice and, for dessert, the toucinho-do-céu with raspberry sorbet.
