Book, Porto

Ceiling of books

Of course, I could not resist dining at a restaurant called Book, which specializes in Portuguese and Mediterranean dishes. Some reviews called the cuisine nouveau and others labeled it comfort food. I was not that discerning; to me, it seemed like regional cuisine, mostly seafood.

Dining room

The cozy restaurant occupies a former bookshop. It honors its past with books galore – on the ceiling, on shelves, even holding the menus and serving up the checks.

Book is located in downtown Porto’s Baixa neighborhood at 10 Rua de Aviz.
