Flow Porto Menu: What to Order
Published
Flow’s menu runs the Mediterranean with Portuguese roots and the odd Italian or Japanese touch, served in a restored nineteenth-century ceramics factory on Rua da Conceição in Porto’s Baixa. The plate the room is known for is the carabineiro tartare at €27; the crab-and-langoustine risotto at €30 has outlived several chefs. It is à la carte only, no tasting menu.
Where to Start
Open where the kitchen shows off: the foie gras ganache with potato-honey brioche (€17) and the carabineiro tartare (€27), scarlet prawn barely touched. These are the plates that justify Flow’s upper-mid Baixa pricing, and they set the register for the rest of the table. Our Flow review scores the food an 8 and the room a 9, and keeps it on the Porto dining shortlist for setting as much as cooking.
The Middle of the Menu
The centre argues Italy and Portugal at once. The wild-boar ragù lasagna (€23) is the hearty pick; the crab-and-langoustine risotto (€30) is the fixture that has survived several chefs’ tenures. Portugal answers with olive-oil-confit cod loin on tomato açorda (€27). Mains sit in a tight €23 to €30 band, generous and crowd-pleasing rather than precious, aimed at a long, sociable dinner.

The Sharing Cuts
The table-event end of the menu runs a Fillet Wellington at €59 and a kilo Irish T-bone at €87 for two or three — the plates that turn a dinner into an occasion. Desserts land at €9 to €11, and the downstairs bar deserves the last hour. A full meal with wine comes to a realistic €55 to €75 a head, upper-mid for the Baixa and paying as much for the neo-Arab room as for the food. It earns a place on our seafood index and the birthday list.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should you order at Flow in Porto?
Start with the carabineiro tartare (27 euros) and the foie gras ganache with potato-honey brioche (17). In the middle, the crab-and-langoustine risotto (30) has outlived several chefs' tenures, and the wild-boar ragu lasagna (23) is the Italian argument. If the table is sharing, the kilo Irish T-bone (87) or the Fillet Wellington (59) is the event. Portugal answers with olive-oil-confit cod on tomato acorda (27).
How much does dinner at Flow cost?
Starters run 14 to 27 euros, mains 23 to 30, sharing cuts 59 to 87, and desserts 9 to 11, for a realistic 55 to 75 euros a head with wine. It is a la carte only, with no tasting menu, which keeps the bill in your hands. That puts Flow in the upper-mid bracket for the Baixa, paying as much for the restored neo-Arab room as for the plate.
Does Flow have a tasting menu?
No; Flow is an a la carte room and better for it. You build the meal yourself across starters, mains, sharing cuts and desserts rather than following a fixed sequence. That makes it easy to eat lightly at the bar or commit to a full table event with a shared T-bone. For the booking mechanics and hours, see our guide on how to book Flow in Porto.
What is the signature dish at Flow?
The carabineiro tartare at 27 euros, scarlet prawn barely touched, is the plate the room is known for. Close behind is the crab-and-langoustine risotto at 30 euros, a fixture that has survived several kitchen changes. Both sit on a wide-ranging Mediterranean menu with Portuguese roots and the odd Italian or Japanese touch, served in a nineteenth-century ceramics factory on Rua da Conceicao.
Is Flow good for a group dinner?
Yes; the sharing cuts are built for it. The kilo Irish T-bone (87) feeds two or three and the Fillet Wellington (59) anchors a table, while the three-part room, restaurant, bar and rooftop, lets a group move across the night. See our Porto dining guide for where it sits among the Baixa's stylish tables. Book the later seating and start with a cocktail in the downstairs bar.
