"The real attraction here, though, is not so much the Portuguese atmosphere as a dish invented at the restaurant: sopa Leão Veloso, a tasty Brazilian bouillabaisse teeming with fish and crustaceans and flavored with cilantro, pepper and white wine."
"Their greatest classic is without a doubt the Leão Veloso seafood soup, made with fish and shrimp broth, octopus, squid and mussels, a real feast for the palate."
"Founded in 1884, it is a reference in seafood and serves the famous Leão Veloso soup, inspired by the French bouillabaisse."
"I scrape the last drop from the pot, and even clean it with some bread. It's expensive, but it yields two full plates, it's divine."
"Rio Minho specializes in a delicious Leao Velloso Soup."
"All of the best Portuguese seafood, including many squid dishes, a superb octopus with broccoli rice and the famous Leão Veloso soup, a traditional seafood broth that has Portuguese roots but was created right here, more than 100 years ago."
