Compact stone-walled tavern on a steep Ribeira alley serving traditional Portuguese petiscos (small plates) and bacalhau preparations. The bacalhau a Bras and polvo a lagareiro are standouts. Only 8 tables, and they don't take reservations.
Arrive right at 7pm when they open for dinner to get a table without waiting, as queues form by 7:30pm.
Plan for about 1h 45m.
Taberna dos Mercadores is in the Ribeira & Downtown neighborhood of Porto. The address is R. dos Mercadores 36, 4000 Porto, Portugal. The area is well-served by metro.
This works well at any time of day, though mornings tend to be quieter. Weekdays are less crowded than weekends.
Closed on Monday. Check the official website for holiday closures and special hours.
