European Restaurants in Braga, PT

“The concept of the restaurant is quite interesting and different.
The amount of food in all the dishes is quite small, of course it is a gourmet food restaurant, in other words: it is designed to eat all the “4 acts” or 4 dishes and be fine, the idea is not to be full!!

Regarding the quality of the dishes and their flavor: nothing to write home about, they are all really good.⭐️

Just something to point out and easy to improve;
In the “fifth act”, the desserts could be better described because the menu only mentions the ingredients, or flavors, that your dessert will have, it does not mention the texture. In other words, you don’t know if you’re asking for ice cream, a cake, something creamy, something dry and crunchy, etc…

It's not a cheap restaurant, that's clear, but for something different and special, it's good.

Kid-friendliness: They admit children and babies but the care for them is not the best. It is noticeable that they “get in the way”. They could improve on this.“

“We were surprised by the creativity of their dishes. We liked the service, they were very attentive and treated us very well. They are a young team with a great future. They take care of all the details, from the plates to the tablecloths. We liked this small restaurant that goes beyond the Portuguese tourist menu and mixes world dishes with local cuisine.

Vegetarian options: many options, spices and aromas from around the world“

“had the pleasure of finally visiting this cosy and small restaurant and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. the staff was super understanding of my intolerances and accommodated the meal to my needs - it was very tasty and I was surprised of how affordable it ended up being. for sure will be going there more often, as I had an amazing time.“

“Refined and exquisite culinary experience. Dishes cooked with local products. It's been a long time since I had such an experience. Besides, it had fun and experimental sides. In addition, awareness of the ecology of the problem of plastics in the ocean.
The dishes were presented with great mastery by António. The wine list was extensive.“

“Le restaurant est un 10/10 ! Les cocktails étaient excellent surtout le mojito maracuja ! Les plats étaient succulents et la sauce miel moutarde était à tomber par terre (je regrette de ne pas avoir demander la recette). Le personnel était super sympa et souriant et se sont occupés de nous de façon royale. Nous avons beaucoup aimé l’expérience et nous reviendrons à coup sûr !“

“Everyone is very helpful and friendly. We ate there twice on the meal of the day. Prices are reasonable and their sautéed vegetables are excellent. Flavors are good. You may wait a bit at popular times. Accepts Portuguese credit card only, bring cash. Updated from previous review on 2025-04-20“

“I had been wanting to visit this place for about two years. Now, taking advantage of a few days of rest, I decided to try it out. And it didn't disappoint. Everything excellent, good snacks/brunch. Lots of options to please everyone. Very cozy place and very friendly service. I recommend a visit. You will definitely find something to your liking.

Venting aside... I understand the location, but for those who live in the surrounding area, parking and access are difficult. And on another note, it is a shame that this concept has not yet been adopted in the city of Braga. It was the only one of this genre I found. Something like this would be great to escape the many snack bars that are everywhere. Specialty Coffe places are accurate.“

“A small and super cozy restaurant
I can only say good things about both the food (look at the photos) INCREDIBLY GOOD, and the couple who served us, friendly, pleasant and super attentive
We both ate for €35.50
We ordered: saquinho de camarao (very good)
Prawns in tempura. ( very good)
Cabala Montadinho (spectacular)
Bacalhau carpaccio (very good)
Lemon pie (refreshing and nothing
cloying)
Of course, we ask for water (call us sad ?)
If you order wine you will get something else

By the way @tabuascoposeoutrascenas, we are waiting for you in Bilbao ?“

“We have visited Canté almost completely by chance. From the outside is just so discrete that you hardly imagine what's inside. As we have got the menu the curiosity around the concept ignited. As entry we have chosen Tacos de Salmão. What a way to start a meal. Excelent choice of ingredients combined in perfection and very well seasoned. As main dish arroz Thai was served. The harmony in flavour, seasoning and presentation continued. What a treat. We were so satisfied that we could not leave without tasting one of the desserts. This was undoubtably one of the best desserts we have tasted in years. Congratulations to the Chef and team. We will keep returning to Braga just to visit you.“

“Amazing restaurant! We stumbled upon this place after the first place we went to was booked, and I'm very glad we did. Excellent, honest food without frills at exceedingly fair prices.

For lunch they do the old-school set menu thing with soup plus a choice of 3 or 4 mains. Plus a big jug of tap water for free. Price was 7 euros for just the main or 8 with soup. There's also a selection of desserts at extra cost, around 3 euros each. Everything we ordered was fantastic: veal stew, squid with beans, cheesecake, caramel mousse and chocolate mouse. The setting is also great - nice, funky decor and a very comfortable terrace out back.

The overall vibe was great - you could this is a real passion project. There aren't many places like this around anymore. If you're in Braga, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't regret it.“

“[pt/eng] O prato do dia era bom, mas o que mais me surpreendeu era a quantidade de sobremesas, além de pão de queijo 😋 The dish of the day was good, but what surprised me the most was the amount of desserts, and the “pão de queijo”“

“Great place to eat with family, Brazilian food (we miss some typical dishes) and the food is very good.
Well seasoned, the dishes can be shared.
We were well received by the attendants, super friendly, polite from beginning to end.
And there was also brigadeiro ❤️❤️❤️
I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to eat well!!

Kid-friendliness: Yes, the kids food was great.“

“An authentic gastronomic treasure hidden in the city of Braga!
Very well maintained rustic house. The menu is very varied, with obvious emphasis on the different ways of serving cod. We chose the same one wrapped in puff pastry, and I guarantee it was the most divine cod I've eaten outside of home in a long time! Only by trying it will you be sure of what I say. Even the cod fritters for starters are a positive surprise as they contain more fish (very tasty!) than potatoes.
Please note that the famous Papas de Sarrabulho are only made in winter, so don't be mistaken! There are Rojões, and the homemade desserts are worth a look... and taste. How wonderful!
The exemplary welcome from Mr. Rolando, who manages the space with his sister, is to be commended. Whether in the food advice or in the two conversations that we pleasantly maintained.
I strongly recommend a visit to this house with excellent homemade food and prices in line with what is served to us. My sincere congratulations!

Parking: There is no possibility of parking on the street. Only nearby.“

“we had lunch here and tasted their delicious cod with potatoes and the typical duck rice, as well as excellent cod croquettes and the house dessert (a yogurt flan accompanied by apricot compote).
huge portions, half rations are enough.
exceptional quality-price ratio, the kind that can no longer be found even in the most authentic taverns.“

“First of all, this criticism should have been made earlier, so as not to forget to do it, I am doing it now. Now, it would be difficult to really forget to evaluate this pleasant and welcoming space. The food is homemade, made with love and care. The starters are delicious, especially the blood sausage. Arriving at the main course, your belly is already full, with so many good starters. The main course afterwards, even though it is practically full, makes you want to eat until you can no longer eat, everything is delicious. To summarize things a little, I'll move on to dessert, the French toast and what a French toast! One of the best I've ever eaten in my life, I don't know what the secret is in the recipe, but I recommend leaving a little space in your belly to taste it. In this case I was served by the friendly Joana and Eugénia, where their friendliness also won me over, personally, in addition to the food, I pay a lot of attention to customer service and here they also deserve a rating of 5. Final summary, 5 stars, to come back and repeat , especially with an empty belly because here the belly comes out happy.“

“The five of us had lunch today. Super friendly service and the burgers were super tasty. All the food was served at the same time and it was served super quickly. It's a shame I don't live in Braga. It would definitely be my favorite place.

Greetings from Germany.“

“One of those hidden secrets in the city of Braga, known for its excellent location in front of the Braga Cathedral (Zé de Braga) and with its terrace overlooking the cathedral; It is unfair not to mention its immense variety of beer and its otherwise typical and comfortable interior space.“

“It deserved a better location but being inside the restaurant and after appreciating everything that is available to us with unmatched friendliness and professionalism, the location is no longer of interest. Coming back and taking the opportunity to try other excellent suggestions.“

“Simply one word: I LOVED IT!!!Very good food, well prepared, very homemade and of high quality. Meat that falls apart in your mouth and has an excellent flavor. The fresh sangria is great. Excellent and personalized service. Family and welcoming atmosphere. I really enjoyed seeing the wood ovens. D. Margarida is an excellent host.I'll be back to try the francesinhas, our mouths are all watering.WE LOVE IT!! WE LOVE IT!! WE LOVE IT!!“

“A typical restaurant, a little out of the way, but that's exactly why it's worth a visit. The restaurant seems to be less visited by tourists, which we like.
The specialty is suckling pig. The food was very tasty and sufficient (even if we had the impression that local regulars had bigger opinions)
The prices were reasonable.
We'd love to come back.“

“Очень вкусная еда. Красивая подача. Оригинальное пиво, особенно бельгийское. Вежливые сотрудники и быстрое обслуживание. Всё что нужно для удовольствия. ?“

“Manjar das Francesinhas, in Braga, offers an authentic experience, enhanced by Mr. José's spectacular service. His dedication and charisma provide a welcoming atmosphere, perfectly complementing the delicious francesinhas served with mastery, as well as great beer options.“

“Very beautiful and warm restaurant.
Decorate with a traditional Portuguese musical atmosphere.
Staff emblematic of the place and very welcoming.
Traditional Portuguese cuisine is very good.
Prices are reasonable.“

“The restaurant is beautiful and the waitress was very friendly and attentive to us. Our daughter enjoyed her cheeseburger kids menu and we were blown away by the grilled entrecôte and grilled Dorada. We knew it would be good, but we were in for a surprise because it was wonderful!!! We even thanked the cook for preparing us a great dinner. I just want to give them 10 stars⭐️

Kid-friendliness: Splendid kids menu?“

“Amazing place! Just like the previous one in Apúlia, this restaurant is just amazing! Wonderful service, marvellous and tasty food… you just go and don’t want to leave! When leaving you need to return! I will return again and again and again!!!!!!!!

Parking: Just can’t park by the restaurant! Need to park around 200m away! Not bad on summer but not good in winter!!!!“

“What a delicious dinner and how comfortable we were at Dom Ferreira. We ordered the Star dish: duck rice.
Incredible. I will recommend everyone to visit this tasquinha when traveling to Braga. Out of 10 everything, food, atmosphere and service. We will be back!!“

“I loved the Restaurant. Great food, . Sensational quality-price ratio. The dishes are huge, you have to go hungry. If you want to try Francesinha this is the perfect place. They also have about 3 fresh dishes of the day and it is usually fish, soup, meat. Families from Braga usually go so you will find Portuguese flavors and not as much touristy as in El Centro. The owner, Vitor, a very kind, polite man, advises you very well. Super recommended. The desserts are very good. It has everything homemade and also ice cream from the fridge.

Kid-friendliness: They have a children's menu and also the owner gives them free gum and candy when they leave.“

“From the moment I arrived I was greeted with exceptional service, the restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful throughout my stay.The food was simply delicious, with fresh ingredients and well prepared. The dishes were very well presented, and I could see that the kitchen values ​​the aesthetics and quality of the food.The atmosphere in the restaurant was very pleasant, with cozy decor and soft music. This added greatly to the overall dining experience, which was relaxing and memorable.Finally, the price of the meals was very fair in relation to the quality of the dishes and the service offered. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience in a warm and friendly atmosphere.“

“Great place and comfortable service! The restaurant is located in a cozy central historical location. It is fashionable to sit inside or on the terrace outside. I tried the most delicious steak in Portugal. The menu includes dishes of national and European cuisine. Highly recommend!“

“An exceptional gastronomic experience at this restaurant in Braga! The Bacalhau à Narcisa was simply wonderful, a traditional dish prepared with mastery. The combination of flavors was perfect, and the presentation was impeccable. Without a doubt, one of the best cod dishes I've ever tasted. I recommend this restaurant to all lovers of good Portuguese food and who value great service. Five stars to the team for culinary excellence!“

“A totally recommended place. We arrived without a reservation, they had the terrace full, they offered us the little room upstairs and they quickly prepared it, turned on the air conditioning and we were so comfortable.
An exquisite cheese board, a spectacular pepper jam and a stuffed mushroom to repeat. All at a fair price.
And the very good attention.
You can not ask for more.
Congratulations!!!“

“The best restaurant in Portugal and, of those I know, the best in the world.
A restaurant that easily becomes home, so welcoming is its staff and the space itself is full of personality.
And the out-of-this-world food, on a differentiated menu of soulful snacks, makes any meal a difficult decision to make (it's best to order a little of everything, accompanied by one of the good wines on the menu).
The service is unprecedentedly friendly, in the Minho style.
There is no way not to go to Braga and not visit! :)“

“We had a terrific lunch here. Set menu with soup, option for main, dessert and drink for a fair price. Local style food but there was a vegetarian option for all courses- rare! Our waitress was helpful and spoke English, atmosphere was lovely - would definitely recommend.“

“Best place I have tried in Portugal so far. The barbecue was excellent and the price really good. The waiter was super nice and very friendly. 100% recommend.The best place I have tried in Portugal so far. The barbecue is delicious and the price is right. The waiter was super attentive and friendly. Highly recommended.“

“An exceptional place for quality, homemade food at a more than affordable price. The owners go out of their way to treat you the best they can and try in every way to make sure you have a pleasant meal.
They don't rush you, although we arrived a little late.
The pasta dishes... Incredible!!
The grilled meat... Super!!
And the best... The dessert. I recommend Baba de Camelho, without a doubt!!!
If one day I return to Braga, I plan to repeat without a doubt!!!!“

“We liked it!
The restaurant was full at lunchtime on a Friday. Full… a restaurant with a reputation for being quite expensive?!
It was our first visit and we learned that they have a very complete and good quality executive menu every week for €15. Explained!
An impeccable starter soup, a rare grilled fillet with black beans, white rice, fries and real chimichurri, an excellent pork shoulder roasted in the oven, topped off with fresh melon and coffee.
Good environment and high professionalism of the staff.
Parking a little difficult.
To be repeated and recommended.“

“Cozy atmosphere, beautiful room decor. personalized service, has an exclusive terrace for customers
1- spicy shrimp starter is divine, a spicy tomato sauce served with toasted bread covered in sauce and of course shrimp
grilled
2- filet mignon was on point, with portobello sauce and truffle, a charm of flavors
4- Pumpkin fondant, when opening the cupcake the pumpkin cream is still liquid“

“The food was all very well prepared and tasty. Without a doubt, a true delight. I still need a photo of the 70% cocoa chocolate mousse, which is very good and quite unique compared to traditional mousses - I recommend you try it.

The service was quite pleasant and attentive. Good experience.“

“Very friendly service, very clean and delicious food.
For starters we had:
A good ham, a delicious alheira and some fritters that are not to be missed; and we also tried some tripinhas that were very well prepared.

As a dish we were recommended (and very well) a very tasty veal steak served with delicious vegetable and ham rice and mushroom rice.

For dessert we had a super delicious and freshly made homemade coconut pie.

To complete the meal, coffee (can and should improve the quality) accompanied by strawberry xiripiti.

Completing all this is the magnificent service from Miguel and Diogo and some kind words from the person responsible for making all these delicacies.

A very pleasant experience (*****)

Next time we will try to try Anho and ribs rice.“

“Price/quality ratio of the best restaurants in Braga.

Parking: In front of the restaurant it is almost impossible to find parking but there are many parking areas around. I never had difficulty parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: You don't need to climb any stairs to enter the restaurant. Just enter.“

“This restaurant is wonderful in every way. I've been there several times and we've had very good service each time. Everything is tasty and good. Don't miss the Red Fruit Cheesecake dessert made by the owner's wife, who also works next door at Restaurante Félix, which is another wonder!“

“I recently went to this restaurant and had the pleasure of being served by Senhor Nuno, and I must say that his friendliness and courtesy will definitely make me come back. The food and desserts were delicious and the atmosphere of the restaurant is fantastic, with a very creative and original maritime decor. I highly recommend it!“

“The meal was delicious and quite exquisite. The roast beef with celery root puree was excellent. Although it came with three purees, which could have been reduced to at least one, and included something to help clean the plate, or something crunchy, to vary the texture.

The service was satisfactory and the atmosphere was very pleasant, with ambient music and cozy dim lighting. I recommend.“

“The Braga-style cod is superb, well served, if I had the stomach to eat it, it's simply fabulous.
The service is the best, I arrived and there was no table, the waiter hurried to get one and prepare it for us, throughout the dinner he was attentive and friendly, as if we were friends.
The room is noisy but it's part of the genuineness of the space, it's typical, we love it.“

“Super nice place for a family brunch as a couple or with friends, we are served very quickly and the atmosphere is nice

Vegetarian options: There is a formula for vegetarians

Parking: Possible to park in the nearby streets

Kid-friendliness: Children's menu“

“Exotic experience eating at a table around the waiters. First of all, and without asking, they put a plate in front of you: calm down, it's freeThe swordfish was taba weno but I liked my partner's creamed cod better.The desserts were very good, he had a bitten piece left of one that we did not order and he gave it to us to try it. It was great.“

“After a very negative experience at Camada, where we waited between 30 and 40 minutes without being served until we gave up waiting, we decided to go to brewery F, and the difference was immediate.
We were served in less than a minute and, in about ten minutes, we were already being served. The service was extremely friendly and attentive, and they brought us more sauce without even having to ask, which contrasted with Camada, where this extra is charged. The francesinha was well received by everyone, it was very tasty. They even provided a stain remover, which was useful for one person in our group. Fast, efficient service and quality food. It's worth visiting.“

“I've been going to this place for many years and it never disappoints. A goat's cheese starter with ham and bread then we ordered the typical dish of the house called naco na stone, a wonderful and very succulent meat that we grilled on a hot stone. The accompaniments were fries and salad and a house green wine to accompany.“

“(Translated by Google) Well it's good to eat here at this restaurant but I have to say something we were 2 couples hear another couple arrived later had to eat before us(Original)Bem e bom comer aqui neste restaurante mas tenho que dizer alguma coisa ermos 2 casais ouve outro casal chegou depois teve comer primeiro que gente“

“Simply fantastic!
From reservation to dessert, the team's attention and dedication to doing the best is always present.
I recommend it without fear of making mistakes.
It's so worth it!!!

Parking: Ample parking and easy access to the restaurant.“
