Portuguese Restaurants near Aradas, PT

“We have been customers for many years, management has changed, yes, but the good employees prevail and so does the food! We all know that we are in peak season and that's good, because the economy needs it, but labor is in short supply and we all have to understand! The food remains the same and so does the service! More understanding, we are all human beings!“

Infelizmente só conseguimos ir já perto da hora de fechar no entanto o atendimento foi muito bom.Sem dúvida a repetir quando tiver mais tempo“

“There were 4 of us and we left delighted. The service was fast and the waiter who served us was close and super nice. The food was exquisite: we ordered a shrimp risotto and a soupy seafood rice, with the bao bread for starters. Both the quantity and the quality of the product are unbeatable. This, added to impeccable service, made our dinner a magnificent experience, which we would undoubtedly repeat.
Totally recommended.“

“Very well received by the staff who are very friendly.
Restaurant with a menu dedicated almost exclusively to cod and its derivatives. We ate cod with cornbread of very good quality and well prepared.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility is not the best, although it is possible to overcome the entrance steps.“

“We ordered 2 pregos, 1 with just rice and under the steak they put salad and red onion and the rice came full of peas, the complete prego came with the hard egg yolk.
The rest of the table ordered cod and had no complaints. I assumed that the restaurant's specialty is not meat.
Otherwise it is a traditional food restaurant“

“I loved. I fully recommend it. The pizzas are fantastic. I'll go back to taste the typical food, which from what I saw they serve, looks excellent and well served. Super friendly and pleasant staff.

Parking: Next to the restaurant.“

“Everything was delicious. We had grilled lizard (pork), sardines and cod. The garnishes are also very delicious, especially the roasted peppers. It took them a while to bring the food but it was a Sunday in August and with the place and terrace full, it was understandable.“

“It's been more than 12 years since we stopped in Aveiro...we had once wanted to go in but it was impossible, they don't make reservations and the lines are tremendous... It must be for a reason!!
Today we had dinner, a menu of starters, fish and meat... they advise you and it is worth it, in everything because the treatment of both is 10!, homemade food and fresh raw materials!! No decorations, you don't need them!! Homemade desserts and a drink... We have been like at home! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! OBRIGADO!!“

“Two of us had dinner, while we waited, we ordered some cod pasties, they were very delicious and freshly made. Afterwards we ordered a main dish each and decided on Four Cheese Risotto and Chorizo ​​Risotto, both portions were abundant, tasty and you could tell that they were homemade, not at all greasy.
From drinking a half-liter jug ​​of wine home, white, fruity and rich
For dessert Trapalhada and Nata du cieu, delicious.
The service was very attentive, from Naiara, with a good description of the dishes we could order, which helped us choose correctly.
Another good detail: the music was Portuguese, very pleasant, which accompanied the moment.
It seems obvious, but we were in many restaurants and none of them had Portuguese music.
100% recommended, and the next time we return to Aveiro, we will surely go.
I only put photos of the desserts, since we forgot about the dishes because we were so excited to start eating.“

“Being Sardinian, I was immediately intrigued when I saw a restaurant focused on suckling pig. I have to say, even though I'm used to eating it in a completely different way, the experience was excellent.

The rind was crispy, the price-quality ratio was great, and the meat, fries, salad, and sauce were all very good. The pairing they do here in Portugal is also interesting—they eat the meat while drinking sparkling wine.

The atmosphere was very nice and modern. The staff was very friendly and quick with everything.“

“Great!!! Everything was 5 stars, from the food to the staff! I recommend the veal with mashed potatoes and the biscuit cake. Very welcoming atmosphere and very short waiting time for food! The employee Rodrigo Lopes demonstrated enormous professionalism!“

“We arrived at dinner time without reservation, we were well received and very well attended to and we immediately received a table.
Very friendly staff always ready to help and always attentive.
Good food with a lot of flavor, just the puree perhaps went through the oven a little longer and the top was a little hard, but that's just an aside.
A little noisy but it was also full.
Experience to repeat for sure.“

“Pleasant discovery! Located on the edge of the canal, very pretty setting, very good meal. Special mention for the waitress who took the time to understand us because we don't speak the language, this is not the case everywhere, the smile from start to finish, honestly well done, that's what we expect when we are on vacation and we found it here. Thank you again ? “Foi muito bom” from my son ? (the waitress will recognize herself ?)“

“The place does not attract attention, it looks like a kebab from the outside, but everything was very good.
And the staff of 10 are very friendly and professional.
The cod is delicious but we have never tried anything like the sea bream.
It would be a sin to leave without trying their homemade desserts... scandalous
?“

“(Translated by Google) Fantastic meal. Fresh products, of excellent quality, very well cooked and presented. More than enough quantity, sincere suggestions. The service is attentive, active, trained, very user-friendly and adaptive (I emphasize the adaptive, I think that everyone can have a more than satisfactory experience). The price is more than correct, taking into account the quality of service, products and the location of the establishment. I will be back for sure and strongly recommend(Original)Refeição fantastica. Produtos frescos, de excellente qualidade, muito bem cozinhados e apresentados. Quantidade mais do que suficiente, sugestões sinceras. O serviço é atencionado, activo, formado, muito convivial e adaptativo (sublinho o adaptativo, acho que toda gente pode ter uma experiencia mais do que satisfatoria). O preço é mais do que correto, tendo em conta a qualidade de serviço, dos produtos e do sitio do establecimento. Voltarei com certeza e aconselho fortemente“

“Five years since my last visit. The bacalhau as natas is still exquisite and the waiters are endearing: serious, but friendly. As with most restaurants in Aveiro, they have gone all out with their prices and I estimate that they have raised them by at least 50%. I remember that the octopus was around 27 euros and now it is over 40 euros. Very tender, yes.
It continues to fill up day after day, so the rise is normal. It will cost me more, but I will keep going because I love it.“

“Super nice family restaurant. The people there are so friendly and always pay attention to what you need.

We tried the fish soup, fried eel, seafood rice and cod fish. My children loves the seafood rice the best and so do we. A portion of two is enough for 4 of us. If we were to go again, seafood rice is a must order dish.

The lady there is so kind that she stopped us from ordering more dishes to avoid wastage. That’s so true. Their portion is big and all the dishes are value for money.

If you are nearby, must come here for a meal!“

“Right in between the meat and fish markets, namely the two hottest spots in Olhão, it is the perfect place to sit down, have break and a grab a bite. They serve really good fish appetisers and huge sandwiches with tuna, shrimps or salmon at a very cheap price and in big portions. I liked everything, but the tuna salad, which I think was just canned tuna. It takes time to be served, even in relatively chilled autumn weekdays. But take it as part of the slow food experience…“

“We loved the place, the service was very good, the owner was very attentive and friendly. Even though we arrived almost at the kitchen closing time, they didn't give us a single problem, on the contrary, they invited us to some sardines (very delicious) while they brought us the food. We ordered a very complete grilled fish and the fresh fish at a very good price. I definitely recommend it and I will return on my next trip.“

“Forget the fast food of m.... and very poor quality. Opt for this restaurant which, for a few euros more, gives you a taste experience of hamburgers or other high-quality meat dishes in comparison.
I wish there were more restaurants like this ???“

“Delicious food in a new and great concept to the city. The staff and chef were very helpful and friendly. The place isn't too big wich is great, has a "home confort" kind of vibe. It's better to make a reservation. Will for sure come back.“

“(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place, very good attention and spectacular food, great for celebrating weddings, baptisms I recommend it 100 percent(Original)Lugar muito lindo uma atenção muito boa e o comer espectacular óptimo para festejar casamentos, batizados eu recomendo 100 por cento“

“Excellent food (the best chicken I've ever eaten), there's take away, but there are also some tables available for meals.
Friendly and efficient service.
The price of the dishes is around €8 to €12.
Repeating.
I recommend.“

“The food was well prepared. the employee who served us was 5 stars. Chop, pork steak at Stop. The São João wine, Bairrada special. Dessert, coffees and a brandy. €70, I thought it was very exaggerated. For the price and quality, I got the idea that the management makes a point of selecting its customers, against which I have nothing to say, it is an option.“

“Having discovered it yesterday at noon, we went back this evening because frankly it's so good, great value for money.
We see that this is not a “tourist trap” place. I especially love their “sande de pernil com queijo da serra”. Their samoussa is great too.
For those who love beer, try craft beer ?“

“The seafood was amazing and plentiful. The staff was friendly and spoke some English. This is a MUST stop for lunch or dinner. The octopus, squid and shrimp with risotto were wonderful. We also ate the Francesinha which was also very good. We spent around $30 per person for food and drink, but worth every $$!“

“The restaurant offers delicious food and a lively atmosphere filled with locals, which speaks to its authenticity and quality. However, we were surprised to find a 20% tip automatically added to our bill, written only in Portuguese, without any prior notice. This left us feeling a bit taken advantage of, as it seemed like this charge might not apply to locals. While the food was great, this lack of transparency dampened our overall experience.“

“We chose randomly and decided to go for the good score, and we didn't regret it. We were very well looked after, everyone was very attentive, everything was wonderful, in addition to being excellent value, I recommend it and will be back.“

“Nice terrace, with very friendly and efficient service. Tasty food arrived quickly. Faded crockery behind spoils the good image of the house.

Kid-friendliness: Has menus for children

Wheelchair accessibility: The street side and terrace“

“A place that goes unnoticed. If it weren't for Google, I wouldn't end up here. But once you walk through the door it's a very sophisticated environment.

Very efficient and friendly service

Very tasty food. High prices. The suggestion of the day should also appear on the menu, or at least indicate the price, so that there are no unpleasant surprises when paying the bill.

In the end it was a good experience and the fairest rating would be 4.5 stars.

Kid-friendliness: I thought it was interesting that they took care to put out special dishes for the children.“

“A cozy restaurant that offers a very nice & varied selection of starters, second courses, drinks. One can go light for lunch, or more for a satisfying dinner. Presentation of dishes was inviting. Serving sizes fit for sharing. Palate pleasing flavors. We enjoyed the experience.“

“Quiet, well-maintained place.
High quality food with research and attention to flavor combinations.
Very welcoming, helpful and very polite staff.
To come back!!
Advised!
Congratulations to all the staff!! ❤️“

“Beautiful place, quiet environment, clean bathroom. Spectacular service, a varied menu and Venezuelan food ?....In my case I had cachapa with cheese and ham with malt.....it was super tasty and very soft, the cheese was spectacular..... The starter was sweet arepita with cheese ? it was delicious...“

“All good, the best in the area, as they told us at the beach bar on Costa Nova, Cristal Prado (great, by the way, to watch the sunset...). A "seafood dough" that was finger-licking good... Some fresh and delicious clams as well as a delicious fried San Martiño. To add some "but", I needed a little more fish to be able to choose from on the menu...“

“Very, very good. One of the few restaurants in that area of ​​the Portuguese coast that still maintain a slight price difference compared to Spain. The quality-price ratio is unbeatable.
It already indicates it at the door: "A bad place for a diet." They have designed the menu in such a way that you would want to try everything and unfortunately the day I visited my companions were not very hungry.
The managers are charming.
If you are spending a few days in Aveiro or Costa Nova, it is worth traveling a few more kilometers to get to Vagueira, just to eat at this restaurant,“

“2024-07 I came across this restaurant by chance, so as not to go to the more touristy ones, I was passing by the door and I liked the space and decided to go in.
? - Very affordable prices.
?️ - Fried mackerel with tomato rice✅, it was very tasty and well prepared.
?️ - Broken Eggs ❗- It was medium, the eggs were not fried, they were dry and the potatoes were pre-frozen.
?- House wine ✅.
? - I didn't eat it because I had soft eggs to ruin them ☺️.
?️- Service ✅, it was excellent, especially the guy at the bar, who even recommended the boat trip through the store next door, making the trip cheaper.
I also ended up buying the souvenirs in the same store with a 10% discount.
I will come back again if I pass through Aveiro.“

“Exceptional quality burger! The quality of the burgers presented "vs" the prices charged is super adjusted (none higher than €10.
I recommend accompanying your choice with the red fruit lemonade
Small and welcoming space in the center of Vagos with amazing staff (if the space were bigger it would be just as full)

I strongly advise. Mandatory passage through Vagos!“

“Ideal restaurant for eating local and fresh (arrival of the day's catch). The prices are very reasonable, we are not in a “tourist trap” restaurant. Traditions are well respected. The service was very pleasant.
I recommend.“

“We went last week for dinner after our trip to Aveiro. We ordered a grilled meat and grilled salmon, and both dishes were very delicious. The meat was on point and the variety of meats, in addition to the fruit accompaniment, was appreciated. The treatment by the owner was incredible, as if we were family, very attentive at all times. We liked it so much that we returned the next day, and despite being full, they found a place for us to have dinner.
We will definitely return when we are on vacation in the area. Totally recommended restaurant.“

“The portion of fried calamari, delicious but ridiculous in quantity, was more of a tapa. The rich gold. The skewer of lulas (like squid) could be improved. Small quantity and it took a long time to bring it. Many pretensions, but little final result. Avoid, I believe there are better places“

“A pleasant surprise
We opted for Mar e Terra served in a traditional moliceiro, with food well prepared with good quality products created by the owner of the restaurant (congratulations, a true artist).
Very welcoming and friendly staff.
I highly recommend it, certainly an experience to repeat.“

“An outstanding dinner spot! The service and attentiveness were unmatched. The meals were divine - the starters in particular were of note with an ingenious fusion of traditional Portugal and Mediterranean flavours that were unforgettable.
They also offer an exceptional wine menu that pair perfectly with the dishes on offer.
I also cannot rave more about the kindness and hospitality of the staff. Elsa in particular provided us with the most outstanding service I have experienced in Portugal.
It would be a loss if you didn’t visit this restaurant.“

“It has enchanted me. The place is nice and well located. I found the food delicious and abundant. In our case we ordered cod and beef and we were full. If you are a good eater, ask for a third dish but light. I liked the house wine (Casa do Canto). 3 euros drink. We didn't need a reservation and the service was fast and friendly. Total price for two people 43 euros. I recommend it to you.“

“It is a place worth discovering, although it is a little away from the hustle and bustle, it is very worth visiting.
The Robalo a la teja, is simply spectacular and the cod a la teja, ordering half a portion, I can say that two people eat, accompanied by delicious roast potatoes, super tasty.
The price I can say that for the size of the dishes and the supreme quality, it is cheap.
It is run by a couple and their son, they are very friendly, the treatment is very close and familiar.
If you go to Aveiro, don't hesitate to eat there, you won't regret it“

“We were greeted by a really nice waiter. So we decided to have lunch here. I was a little disappointed with offerings in the menu. I was looking for an octopus dish in particular. Nevertheless, I settled for the steak and it was ok. The others order fish and they also liked it. The only reason I'm give 4* star is that the service was really professional and friendly.“

“Good afternoon!

Very welcoming indeed, with professional service from someone who admired the good quality of Portuguese cuisine and put it into practice.

When reading some of the incoherent reviews that I don't agree with, what caught my attention the most was those who don't have the nobility and frankness of attitude to say it personally to the owner and restrict themselves to commenting through these means! It's regrettable!

It gives the impression that they only see defects in everything and they don't know how to admire and encourage qualities.“

“Of the places that have surprised me by quality and quantity, what an extraordinary fabric, the seafood rice is delicious. Anyone who comes to Portugal in search of gastronomy should come here and leave the tourist sites behind. Manuel is excellent in advising“

“Nice place for dinner with family. Reserving a table will ensure a seat inside. A lot of locals come here, which gives the place a family atmosphere. We ordered fish, including salmon and cod, but also pork tenderloin with pineapple and desserts: chocolate mousse and a whiskey tart ice cream dessert. Dinner dishes prepared on the grill - fresh fish - at the entrance to the restaurant there is a display case with fresh fish. Very tasty desserts. Nice service, plenty of tables for one person, but the waiter moves very quickly. You can also communicate in English“

“Awesome. The best cakes I have ever eaten.
Very friendly.
If you can, sit at the outside tables on the other side, next to the canal. The views are beautiful and it is very good. For that you have to go around the block. Totally recommended.“

“Restaurant with very good food, divine service! You gentlemen are extremely friendly, I highly recommend them! Whenever I asked for something, they brought it right away. They don't accept banging on the table (which is worthy of good respect from other customers). The wine doesn't fall short of expectations, but I prefer the sangria (personal taste). Mr. Manel is a sweet person, he has a huge heart!“
