I agree with most other reviewers here. It has a nice selection of great wines, an excellent view and great hospitality. The owners recommendations for wine and cheese were spot on. It is small with a comfy atmosphere. We enjoyed talking with the other couples there as well. Perhaps the only thing I have to add is that they are... More

Great choice of wine and awesome hospitality at this wine bar which serves accompanying cheeses and tapas meats to match the quality of the wine on offer. A great view. No reservations taken due to the small number of tables on offer so turn up early. The only thing I would suggest is that they need higher stools to sit... More

Thank you very much scooby2727 for your review. We are happy that you founded us in ribeira and enjoyed a pleasant time. Wine Quay Bar, as you said, is a cozy space, not big (4 tables inside) and because of that it makes difficult for us to have big seats and tables. We have a big stool inside, but unfortunnatly...

Visited here on a week long visit to porto. Agree with most of the comments of previous users re ambience, friendliness and the quality of the wine and port. And Moses is particularly helpful. However I think it is misleading to rate this as a restaurant as the menu is limited to a couple of cheeses and various pork meats.... More

Having been let down by another highly rated restaurant on Tripadvisor, we stumbled upon the Wine Quay Bar and had the night of our lives. Moses and Phillipa have created a unique place with fantastic local produce and wines, along with one of the best views in Porto. Their hospitality is testament to their love of what they do and...

We enjoyed the views and the wines here nightly. Sitting outside is truly an amazing way to enjoy Portugese wines. The owner Moses is a great guy and will gladly guide you to the type of wine that meets your preference. Service is excellent. Don't miss this place!

Terrific spot to enjoy a nice selection of Portugese Wines and Ports and a light snack. Moses and his wife (owners) provide fantastic service and offer excellent recommendations. The perfect spot to sip regional wines and enjoy the great river views at night.
