Chama Porto Reviews from The Last Year
2 different nights, 2 very different impressions
Mixed review here, I've been twice and was really impressed the first time when I took my work team, we all loved the relaxed atmosphere, the food was great and we had a great night. Guy serving was quite entertaining, although he made one comment that was a bit demeaning (an absolute "never do" to a client). 2nd time, went with wife, we arrived a bit late and the Chef did not hide his displeasure (bad start). Food was bang average and they forgot our meat dish (although discounted on price). The "way too informal" guy serving had now become very irritating and it was clear he thinks he's the star attraction of the place. Sorry to burst your bubble mate, but we came for the food!
An exceptional experience!
After reading such great reviews on a travel FB page, we decided Chama was a must try. Upon entering, we were overwhelmed with good vibes, great music, and incredibly friendly staff! We began with delicious drinks that were inspired by what we like. Next, we enjoyed so many delectable courses that we were begging for dessert so that we'd have room for it! Chama is more than dinner, it's an experience you won't forget!!
Great service , good food at a reasonable price.
Difficult to get to. Small side street
An all round exquisite experience.
Everything about Chama was exquisite. The service, decor, drinks, the brilliant music playlist and the some of the best food we have ever tasted.
Fabulous Evening
Booked the Chama restaurant as a surprise for my husband’s birthday (after reading reviews) so glad I did as it did not disappoint. We had a fabulous evening we were made to feel very welcome by all the members of staff, the food was amazing as was the music. The biggest compliment my husband could make is that when we return to Porto he wants to have another evening at Chama’s. Thank you to everyone at Chama’s keep doing what you are doing.
Not worth the time or money
Very disappointed. Fixed Menu. Service was lacking in professionalism. Server often socializing with others in restaurant that appeared to be acquaintances. Long wait period between courses. Kitchen staff observed going outside to smoke. At one point another customer decided to provide some entertainment between courses by playing the available piano. Customer was very talent and the music was enjoyable. The actual courses were not special nor full of flavors. We couldn't wait to be done with the courses and leave. What a waste of time and money. Much better meal at Casario Restaurant the night between.
Great Food in Porto!
Superb restaurant! Great vibe and greater food. 10 course meal made w the freshest ingredients of the day - each a surprise! Wonderful service. Make a reservation!
A cannot miss experience
Amazing food and atmosphere. At the time we left, we felt like we were part of a family. It’s a small team who really cares about your experience and the food you eat.
We went to Chama as the menu was a surprise.
Definitely interesting concept. I got us reservations 2 weeks in advance (perhaps since it was over December holidays). The restaurant is quite alternative, the decor is cool and different, even had an out of tune Piano, which one of the other guests were playing during the long waits between meals. If you made a reservation for dinner, our time was 7pm expect to be there for at least 3+ hours. The wait between courses was very long, we had one that was 30 mins wait. Some came quicker than others. The dishes were different, however several of them were overly salted, which I was not too much of a fan of. Additionally hubby is allergic to nuts, and this information was provided in the beginning of the meal, unfortunately they forgot this at dessert when they served us hazelnut ice cream! We ended up leaving most of the dessert. Overall, cool ambiance, small tight tables, and some of the dishes were way too salty. The price was very good, 38 euros per person. So definitely a different experience.
Bae made this reservation a few months ago in anticipation
Bae made this reservation a few months ago in anticipation of our Porto visit. Yelp isn't as big here! I am hoping I help put them on the map by manually entering them and adding this review. Think fresh mood driven concept. What looks good in the market? That's what they will create that night. So there is no fixed menu. Also things are based on slow cooking over an open flame. So creative was this 7 course extravaganza loosely based on Portuguese classics but creatively inspired and lovingly presented. Pictured is the little oven but many proteins are slow grilled braised over open flame. And I thought my kitchen was tiny!!! Anna the hostess was very cool enthusiast as was the entire crew. The vibe was Bizerkeley bohemian, casual eclectic with Spotify playing a variety of stuff from to 2 pac n Dre "California love" done in our Honor as we are from Cali; to Gotan Project. But it was when I requested Anna the hostess, to play some Gypsy Kings that the whole restaurant started bopping and swaying. Even the hip bar tender whose cocktails are out of this world was "a shake shake shaking" his jigger to the sounds. We got a pitcher of sangria which was splendid so we didn't try but everyone around us who ordered, each looked like master pieces! And based on their faces they too looked pretty happy. We felt like we were at a house party, MC Anna and crew so attentive, enthusiastic. Half way through the 7 course meal, we saluted the 15 or so patrons to some homemade hooch... moonshine... that kicked things up a notch. The word convivial doesn't quite do this experience justice! I even met the Salma H of Portugal who took reservations seated everyone and helped with what ever was required. A gastronomic masterpiece of an event that took us through taste's, textures and visuals of a wide spectrum of OMG moments!!! Anna said come back tomorrow! I said we had a hard time getting these reservations! So she wrote a "special "bat phone" number on the card I had at the table. And winked call us no problem for you! They never heard of Yelp so Bae explained that as a YEE we are hoping to help put them on the radar. That got me another shot of hooch with Anna and the bar tender to celebrate their soon explosive success. Hell they don't need me... most of the patrons were from US but I'm happy to help anyway I can. And as I started post on Yelp 8 years ago, quoting the govenator.."I'll be back" For damn sure!
Wow one of a kind restaurant! It's highly recommended to
Wow one of a kind restaurant! It's highly recommended to make a reservation via email with Chama. At least 2 months in advance! People line up and they only take people with reservations and I think if there's any remaining open times, then they tell them what time to come back. It's very hipster feeling and everyone definitely does not filter what they say. But it's amazing! There is no set menu and instead it's a tasting menu. Every dish is wonderful but is A LOT of food. Like you will feel stuffed so I'd highly recommend coming here hungry. I had to take walks outside in between courses cause I couldn't handle sitting that entire time. Obviously there is no rush so you could relax here the entire night. But if you can't finish the food, they will pack them up for you to bring to go! It's a very reasonable price too everything you get at 38 euros. The workers were so friendly too and always checking in on us to make sure we were doing okay. It was nice to talk to other groups eating around us too. This place is trendy on Instagram and TikTok too especially when people want a quality meal in Porto that isn't so touristy.
Exquisite meal with phenomenal service.
The entire experience was five star. Thank you Ana for fitting us in this evening. Ana's personal service was above and beyond my expectations. The entire team was happy, excited and it was great. I recommend to anyone visiting Porto to have the surprise tasting meal. The chef created special dishes for the pescatarian in our group. Very intimate and yet casual and Hugh end. Love it!
Great service Food were so delicious Awesome atmosphere
Great service Food were so delicious Awesome atmosphere It's an artistic expression of cooking with lots of LOVE!
Reserved a table a few months in advance to treat hubby.
Heard lots of raves about chef and fun atmosphere. Checked all the boxes. Each dish was curated with local and fresh ingredients. Welcome cocktail kicked off a night that was filled with fun and felt like a vibrant dinner party with friends. Staff clearly love the restaurant and are proud of the skill infused into each dish and presentation. Pace the eating to finish all courses. By dessert we couldn't eat another bite! We weren't able to do justice to the complex flavors, artistry, and skill. Next time, we'll go light on first few courses. Yes! Each dish was perfection and tasted amazing. Trust the comments! Enjoy!

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Virtual Name & Email on reservation
Hi Community,
I am new to this site and just recently bought a reservation here. I noticed that on the reservation page, it is booked under a random name and a virtual email address.
I can't find any button to change either the name or the email for this reservation I bought. So, should I just say that random name when I arrived at the restaurant? Not really sure about the procedures.
