“We were recommended by the house where we stayed and the truth is that we loved it. A very pleasant, quiet atmosphere. Exquisite, excellent treatment. He gave us great advice and we felt great and what can we say about the food... we ate a scandal goat and a picanha scary.If you go to Barcelos this is a mandatory stop.
Parking: Easy“

“First time in Viana and first time at the place, very good attention received by the waiter who understood us and served us perfectly.
We ordered lasagna, francesinha (spectacular), garlic bread and mixed salad, and for dessert a cookie cake that I would repeat if it wasn't already full. Highly recommended establishment, we will be back.“

“Excellent fish and sea bass soup. However, the price of sea bass is shown by the kilo (€35/kg) without it being weighed in front of us. Conclusion: they charged us €42 for a sea bass for two people, which after all the math is equivalent to 1.2 kg of fish (not emptied), which seems much more than what we ate (any website recommends 300-400 g/person ). It also seems out of season that the restaurant manager, who also serves, is not in uniform like all the (very friendly) employees.“

“We came here by chance when visiting the nearby beach. It was a great success, we ordered some meat skewers and then some rice, be careful with the quantities, the average amount of rice for two people is huge. Of course, spectacular quality, everything very rich, very good service and good price. 100% recommendable“

“A good address in Esposende. Very good traditional Portuguese cuisine and very good value for money. We feasted on cod and octopus.
Service a little long. Desserts not great but we know that this is not the specialty of Portuguese restaurants. We will still come back with pleasure.“

“Visually, the place doesn't look much and the service isn't the fastest, which is why we assumed that the food couldn't be anything special either. BUT: We were pleasantly surprised by the good quality and taste of the burgers.“

“I loved. I ate a combo that had two large bread rolls, lettuce and tomato salad and fries. In addition to being a super affordable dish, it is also a super balanced meal: vegetables, protein and carbohydrates. I recommend it to everyone who goes to the city of Viana do Castelo.“

“Small tavern, with half a dozen tables, which is a real gem.
Great snacks, a very pleasant surprise.
From the entaladinhos (fried egg sandwich with ham) to the patties, including the gizzards, everything is very good.
Friendly service. Very unique decoration, in line with the type of establishment.
Everything great.“

“We loved this place with a husband and wife team. She asked if we wanted the meat roll she had in the oven which came with a soup starter or quiche. We went with the oven option. It was all very good. We then ordered the chocolate dessert cooked by the husband and a lemon dessert by the wife…the lemon was our favorite. We would definitely go back.“

“It is a place to go slowly and savor each and every one of the ingredients. Family and homemade food. We found it on our way to Portugal and it was a great success. In fact, when we return we repeat... They are very friendly. Tip: go hungry, the portions are large. Ends aviat Sunday!“

“We were walking on the camino and this place was recommended because it was open before 8pm and we were hungry. The scallops were out of this world delcious. And the staff were really helpful in helping us choose what to order. They showed us photos from the website and spoke some English with our rudimentary portuguese. The wine was also delcious. Some of the best food we ate the whole trip. The staff were attentive but not breathing down our necks to take our plates and just genuinely interested in making and serving high quality, local food..some but not many vegetarian options fyi.“

“We went to this pastry shop to try the “Sidónio” cake and have coffee. After also trying other pastry shops, we consider these to be the best Sidonians in the beautiful city of Viana.
I won't say the rest because we haven't tried it.“

“5 stars!!!!!!!
I have nothing wrong to say about this wonderful restaurant, it was the first time I came to this restaurant and I felt at home, the recipes, the atmosphere, the staff, everything was perfect, in addition to the fact that the recipes are quite healthy and affable, the creativity of the dishes is a tapestry of flavors, weaving a unique and captivating narrative, the restaurant's ambience shines like a rare diamond, reflecting light and warmth on all customers, the hospitality offered here is like a gentle breeze, bringing peace and tranquility to busy hearts, Each dish that leaves the kitchen is an example of intrinsic elegance, filling the environment with sophistication, the chef's ability to transform simple ingredients into extraordinary culinary experiences is truly magical, The generosity in portions and attention in detail it is comparable to a mighty river, always flowing and nourishing customers. The restaurant's atmosphere is a tapestry of comfort and refinement, creating an unforgettable gastronomic experience.“
“When I entered, I didn't expect a cafeteria-style service, taking out a tray, cutlery, bread, ordering a drink, soup, a dish and looking for a seat... the food is fresh/fresh, displayed in a display case/greenhouse. I've paid very well and eaten very poorly, that wasn't the case.“

“Great place for traditional Portuguese food Joe
Made with love to feed your body and soul.
Had a half portion of « cozido a portuguese « that can be for two. However I clean everything simply because it was so good. Finished with a nice dessert « bolo de bolacha » home made as all you’ll eat here.
Do not hesitate to make a lunch or diner break in this great place, you’ll not regret“

“Good meat, excellent traditional (manual) cut fries. Servings are generous (perfectly enough for two adults) so there's no need to over-order.Attentive staff. Desserts at low prices and with large portions (don't be shy about ordering dessert in this place, this is where restaurants usually take the opportunity to overcharge, but nothing like that happens here).We went twice in the same weekend and I will do it again when I return to these parts. You can call in advance to make a reservation and order to advance the service.As a minor point, I would point out the space, modest and outdated. It is a traditional place probably a few decades old.“

“Not to mention, we ended up stopping in Viana and did a quick search for dinner. Without high expectations, we stopped at this restaurant because we wanted something quick! We ordered the traditional beef burger and how wonderful it was, it comes with potatoes! ? Note that the meals here take care when preparing them and the ingredients are of quality! A pleasant surprise and who knows, maybe one day I'll be in those parts again and try the pizzas that are only available on the weekends.“

“The francesinhas are really, really good. The spicy detail coming from the chorizo and not the sauce is a healthy detail. Homemade unsalted fries complement an excellent meal. On top of that, it's cheap, compared to "the specialty houses in Porto".
The only drawback is the lack of air conditioning :( in the summer you sweat profusely inside :(“

“1st time for me in Apulia.
Based for years at the suave mar hotel in Esposende every time I come to Portugal, I used to have lunch and dinner in this city or Porto, Braga, Viaba, Barcelos during my visits.
Due to Covid I haven't been here for 5 years. What a disappointment, the desposende restaurants have let themselves go.... little quality and exorbitant prices given the quality and taste offered. Esposende has also lost its aura...
So I fell back on the advice of my cousin, on Apulia which I discovered and found very pleasant, beautiful beaches bordered by windmills, historic buildings and a plethora of restaurants...
This one made me very welcome, I tasted very good grilled sardines, excellent seafood rice, served in quantity and quality: small shrimps, 6 very large prawns, 1/2 crab, cockles, mussels, small crabs, pairs, squid.... all served with humor, attention and kindness.
As soon as I return to Portugal I will go back there licking my lips?“

“Fantastic experience, homemade food, excellent service and affordable prices, a great find in Viana do Castelo.
A cozy place very different from tourist places, knowing the true essence of the local people.
There is no card payment, only cash, something unimportant in relation to the service they offer.“
“Just amazing restaurant, very well decorated, wonderful service, and amazing food, we have the Tomahwk, for my husband and I, with arroz caldoso de feijoas, vegetables and incredible deserts, a whole experience to try at least once in life. The owner came to present himself and you can’t believe the price, we will certainly come back.“
“Isabelle and Nelson received us with extreme kindness and introduced us to excellent local gastronomy, through home cooking that we will remember.Thank you for this warm moment. To all pilgrims, do not hesitate to take this step aside and move a few minutes away from the “official” path“

“Very nice and helpful service! At first we were just there to drink coke, but then we decided to eat something. We ordered the suggested fried fish dishes and were treated to two large portions. The fish seemed fresh and delicately prepared, it was served with rice and freshly made potato chips. All in all, I am very satisfied and can only recommend the restaurant!!!“

“We stopped by on our way to Santiago and I can tell that I have never had such an extraordinary service. The man who was working there was not only a plain waiter, but made an effort to make our stay in restaurant pleasant and joyful - he was a real host. The food was great, portions were big, we took pilgrim's offer for 13.90€ which includes small opener, soup, main meal, desert and coffee. The fact is that this restaurant will remain one of my biggest impressions of Portugal. ❤️“

“It is a typical and famous restaurant in the region!
It's cheap and the quality is incredible, I've been eating here every summer for years and the flavor of the barbecue chicken in this restaurant is unique! In other restaurants in Minho and in France, the chicken has no flavor in comparison!“
