WELCOME TO OFICINA DOS RISSÓIS
This place reflects a lot of what Porto is, with its counter culture (pun intended because Porto is known as the troublemaker City of Portugal). In this case, we mean the counter as the place where you are going to get your food served. Porto loves the profound democratic socialization that a counter allows, and this place is a very good example.
You are going to try a very common food item served over counters, a rissol (plural: rissóis). It’s a popular Portuguese snack often found in cafés (and birthday parties). These delicious half-moon-shaped croquettes come with various fillings such as shrimp, cod, vegetables, or meat.
Commercially, rissóis are normally fried; at Oficina dos Rissóis, they take a different approach: rissóis are handmade and baked, with many (and all) delicious fillings. Alexandra and Louis, the French chefs and owners, have reimagined the traditional recipe. They use the finest ingredients sourced from different regions of Portugal and combine Portuguese and international cooking techniques. Some fillings require up to 6 hours of cooking! They’ve also crafted the special dough recipe that allows the rissóis to be oven-baked instead of fried.
Have we got you drooling over these tiny pieces of heaven? Well, today is your lucky day, since you’ll try a roasted rissol. Now, present your QR code to the waiter to enjoy a mouthwatering rissol assado.
