46 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Aveiro

“Unique experience. Everything impeccable. Delicious starters, grilled lettuce and tartlet with earthy flavors. 5-star cod loin and turbot with divine cauliflower. Finished with bread pudding with fantastic mango and passion fruit ice cream.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“07/17/2024.
But this restaurant is just a gem.
Very effective in decoration while remaining simple.
On the other hand, the dishes are just magnificent,
The cod is in its place.
Or maybe it’s the place for cod.
good, tasty, quite plentiful.
The wines offered match the dishes.
The local beers offered are very good.
On the next visit, I order meat, which looks just as good.
I don't understand that some of the people next to me ordered chicken and fries, which is not on the menu, but which they were kind enough to serve to them ???.
Thank you for this dinner @bacalhau & orders.

“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.“

“Very good cuisine, especially on the savory part. We opted for the dish to share for two: prawns and rice, which was excellent. However, we were disappointed by the quantity-price ratio. We paid €80 for this dish composed of 3 prawns (for two, that's not much, and why an odd number?) and a portion of rice that was not very generous. Dessert a little too sweet and stuffy for my taste.
The service was very pleasant.“

“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“

“Great seafood. Lots of delicious shrimp. Menu only in Portuguese, but we got there using Google translate. The portion for 2 would easily have been enough for three or four people. Delicious. The price for this amount of shrimp was unbeatable. We are very happy to have landed here.“

“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.“

“Super nice and welcoming place. Italian atmosphere. Super professional employees.
Top food, some of the best I've tried in Italian. Kitchen to view and everything prepared in front of us.
Average price but corresponding to the quality.“

“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.“

“We came to Aveiro to explore, we went with the intention of having lunch in another restaurant which in turn was full and we came to "stop" at Cais da Tosca.
First impact: calm and cool
Service: very friendly and willing
Food: both starters and main course were very good and very well presented.
And it is for these and other reasons that we leave this recommendation ;)“

“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“

“Very good, very attentive service, the caldeirada de peixe and the grilled sea bream very good, the vinho verde good, I will recommend it and I will return. Quality price very good. The fresh fish was brought to the table so we could see the pieces.“

“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!“

“Choice restaurant in Aveiro. Great food, good atmosphere, staff are always friendly and attentive, even those who are learning.
I recommend the cod with cream, but the rest of the dishes are good too.
Great desserts, when I went there was Abade de Priscos pudding (not so easy to find in Aveiro!), among others that were equally good.
The atmosphere is good for those going for a romantic dinner or with a group.
It has two entrances.
The prices are great for such a good restaurant. Not as expensive as a seaside restaurant, and slightly more expensive than McDonalds.
When people ask me about good restaurants in Aveiro, this is the first one I think of for several years.

Parking: Parking coming soon to the buildings is free.

Kid-friendliness: Many children eat here with their parents.

Wheelchair accessibility: It has an upper entrance (it has two entrances, one at the bottom of the street and the other on the other side) that has no stairs.“

“Na aplicação aparece um serve peixe e opções veganas mas é mais o oposto. Apenas tem um prato de peixe, o resto é à base de legumes. Espaço bonito, tranquilo e boa comida. Experimentei a sopa de legumes e o prato do dia, um refogado de feijão branco e cogumelos. Muito bom! Só não tem 5 estrelas porque a aplicação só as atribui a restaurantes exclusivamente veganos. Recomendo! Updated from previous review on 2025-04-02“

“We say eat there because when we passed we heard from a guide that the food was good at a reasonable price. We ordered the economy menu, 11 euros, it included a plate of grilled sea bream, with roast potatoes and salad, plenty to eat. The fish was delicious. The service was very friendly and pleasant, and they also spoke Portuguese, Spanish and English.“

“I start with the reception of the employees, who are undoubtedly one of the warmest and most genuine, and absolutely nothing was missed.As for the snacks and tapas, simply fabulous! Made with wonderful taste and a very diverse wine cellar. A place to visit in Praia da Barra that I will certainly repeat and that needed to liven up and make holidaymakers and locals enjoy.Paula Abreu“

“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.“

“(Translated by Google) Very well. An authentic eating house, without great pretensions but with good food and plenty of it. There are only two options for the dish of the day, but it is worth it if you are in the area and you like the places that the people who live there frequent. A very fast and friendly service.(Original)Muy bien. Una casa de comidas auténtica, sin grandes pretensiones pero con buena comida y abundante. Solo hay dos opciones de plato del día, pero merece la pena si estás por la zona y te gustan los lugares que frecuentan las personas que viven por allí. Un servicio muy rápido y cordial.“

“The reviews we have read to enter have verified the quality, taste and abundance of the food. We loved it. What we ordered was delicious. It's a shame I couldn't finish it, really. We were surprised by the hundreds of cockles that were below. The broth, spectacular. Good service too, attentive and fast.
Thank you very much team!!!! We will return without a doubt.
I'm not a fan of giving 5's to reviews, but you deserve it.“

“Este lugar, aunque ubicado en una callejuela un poco escondida, realmente vale la pena visitar. La calidad de la comida y el servicio es magnífica. Llegamos casi a la hora de cierre, pero aun así nos permitieron comer sin prisa. Eli nos atendió de manera encantadora, haciendo de nuestra experiencia algo muy especial. Altamente recomendado!“

“Very good service and excellent food. Room staff very friendly and attentive. A beautiful, welcoming dining room, ideal for a good meal with family or friends. Very well prepared cod, very well served meat. We liked it and will be doing it again on the next visit.“

“(Translated by Google) Small but extremely pleasant space for lunch with an executive menu, which is ideal for work trips with little time.Excellent attentive service.What I ate was very tasty, everyday food with a different touch from the chef(Original)Espaço pequeno mas extremamente agradável para almoço com menu executivo, o que em deslocações de trabalho com pouco tempo é o ideal.Excelente atencioso atendimento.O que comi estava muito saboroso, uma comida do dia a dia com um toque diferente do chef“

“A very nice place for dinner in a lively and friendly atmosphere of families and friends. Nice and helpful staff (Carlos, best regards). Along with the menu, we were brought a small starter in the form of delicious olives and bread. We were very surprised by the abundance of portions, because we only wanted to eat an evening salad (the time was after 10 p.m.), and we were served practically a dinner-sized dish, which we barely finished. Plus a glass of orange juice. Anyway... See for yourself.“

“Italian food restaurant, modern and informal. It is suitable for any number of customers; from individual meals to groups. It is part of the history of Aveirense restaurants, having passed through several generations of customers, so for many families it is a special place to socialize. House constantly updated, with always young and friendly service. A classic not to be missed! ?

Vegetarian options: Salads, pastas and crepes with vegetarian options

Parking: Paid parking during the day, until around 8pm

Kid-friendliness: They have baby chairs and are flexible in changing the ingredients of the dishes listed.“

“We have been in Aveiro for a few days, they had recommended the Adamastor restaurant to us and they were not confused, it is exceptional, excellent location next to the canal, top quality food and what can we say about Antonio, the waiter, he is the soul of the restaurant, super professional, we I advise at all times, without getting confused, with a very familiar treatment, thank you Antonio, we will return and we will be with you. Recommended 200% or more.“

“Excellent food and very good service despite the delay due to forgetting to order the food from the waiter, we must admit that human errors do exist but since we were not in a hurry and we were enjoying this wonderful town, the wait was worth it since the food was excellent. A very good option if you come to Aveiro. The shrimp risotto was spectacular and the spaghetti bolognese very tasty.“

“Very nice discovery!
We went to eat this afternoon as a family, with a 4 year old child and everything was great!
The service, the staff, the attention given to our son, who proactively was served before us to limit his wait and the food was very good! Thanks to Sergio for the 5 star service!
I recommend ??

In addition, the restaurant's location is very good, close to a large underground car park and on the water's edge of the Ria.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We arrived at 1:45 p.m. 2 adults and 2 children. Restaurant hours until 11pm. They tell us that if we want to eat we will have to wait a long time. We ask if it is because of the kitchen and he tells us yes. 5 tables occupied and with food served. It was clearly a "you are not welcome." What a shame with how fantastic the people in Portugal are. You encounter personnel who work in front of the public without vocation or professionalism.“

“This place has become our favorite to enjoy a beer in Aveiro. One of the main reasons is the price: the beers are cheap, which allows us to enjoy several without worrying about the cost. In addition, they offer gluten-free options, which is a great plus for those who need or prefer this alternative.

The environment is simply unbeatable. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, ideal for having a good time with friends or simply enjoying a quiet beer. On many occasions, we have been lucky enough to find people playing live music, which adds a special and vibrant touch to the place. The live music varies, but always contributes to a charming and lively atmosphere.

In short, this is the perfect place to have a beer in Aveiro. With affordable prices, gluten-free options and an exceptional environment, it has become our favorite place. Without a doubt, we recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy a good beer in an unbeatable atmosphere.

It was our trusted place for 4 days.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free beer“

“The food here was delicious and the service was excellent. The chicken and salmon were very tender, the potatoes were crispy and the vegetables were well cooked. The ambience was also nice and very tidy, plus the location near the water is very nice. The staff really tried hard, asked several times if everything was OK and was very friendly. All in all a very good visit“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Fantastic address!! If you are in Aveiro, come and try this exemplary restaurant. Incredible welcome, delicious and generous cuisine. Exceptional product quality. Really everything comes together to have a great time. The setting is superb. The detail of quality has been pushed down to the design of the toilets.Don't hesitate if you're passing through, you won't be disappointed.“

“An essential place in Aveiro to avoid the tourist. Green soup, squid, hake a little overcooked for our taste, with salad and pinto beans with onion, delicious dessert and coffee. A bottle of rich green wine. €50 and the professional and very nice staff. Portuguese atmosphere.“

“The starters were a bit ordinarily prepared. Although not part of the menu, the chef made a mushroom omelet with fries and salad as a vegetarian option. Fair prices and kind service staff.

Vegetarian options: Ask for the mushroom omelet with fries and fresh salad (it is not part of the menu but the chef can do it for you)“

“The space is small what makes great customer service. The servers were attentive when something was running out and quick replace it. They were great with the kids as well. The food was amazing. The Fado music was the cherrie on top to enjoy a quality meal of Portuguese food.“

“(Translated by Google) The very warm welcome! The dishes are very well served and delicious. We feasted. I recommend ?(Original)L’accueil très chaleureux ! Les plats très bien servis et délicieux. Nous nous sommes régalés. Je recommande ?“

“An authentic experience with good food. I expected more from the service at the beginning, but throughout the order it got better. In my experience, the waiting time was average (for those who arrived at the restaurant at 3pm on a Sunday), I found the atmosphere very interesting and the food was very tasty and in a good quantity, justifying the prices.
I would go back, I enjoyed my experience.“
