The avocado toast with scrambled eggs is absolutely delicious, well presented and with fresh ingredients. The service is excellent, with friendly and attentive staff. I highly recommend it!”

Air-conditioned room, warm welcome from the boss and employees!
All for a controlled budget: 49 euros for 5 people, drinks, fruit salad and coffee included!

I recommend this restaurant located in Nas Taipas.
We will come back with pleasure ?
Muita obrigado”

“The space is very friendly, large terrace, restaurant and a more rustic space, warm in winter and cool in summer! The food is like the motto of the house, the best francesinhas in Taipas and for me, in the top 5 of any place. Well filled with all the ingredients, with a classic, reddish, thick and 'beer' sauce, without kilos of butter as is now the fashion in most French restaurants. It's another rarity...the fries are homemade!!”

“In a pleasant location with a terrace. First attempt, lunch, the waiter passes us 4 people who sit down, he passes about 3 more times, he was making change at the table next to us. Meanwhile, more people arrive and sit at two different tables but also on the terrace, and the menu will soon be delivered. We came away. Second attempt on another day, just to have 4 coffees, the waitress comes to check the order, about 5 minutes pass. and we see that instead of bringing us coffee, he is cleaning tables. So far we have accepted it, but then he goes to talk to some customers at a table already consuming, when asked about the coffees and my husband says he had forgotten, he responds badly saying "look, you never forgot anything, right?". What do you mean by still being rude to customers? People who only tarnish the catering service. I have been to several places in the interior and people are friendlier or at least more humble and professional, even if it is a family member who is offering help at a time when there is a greater influx of customers. For this type of service, stay at home and watch TV.”

“I've been here before and always have a good meal but the last time having a meal and dessert the dessert came out frozen told the staff and they put in the microwave not a good idea should have offered me something else and it was my birthday so not a good experience”

“(Translated by Google) I've been going to this place for a few years now and year after year, it's managed to keep customers and the level of quality. The pizza is very good with fresh, quality ingredients. They do home delivery and the pizza always arrives warm!!I recommend!(Original)Frequento este lugar há alguns anos e de ano para ano, tem conseguido manter os clientes e o nível de qualidade. A pizza é muito boa e com ingredientes frescos e de qualidade. Fazem entrega em casa e a pizza chega sempre quentinha!!Recomendo!”

“Very good snacks and top service from the girls from São Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul.

Vegetarian options: My daughter is vegetarian and she also loved the snacks.”

“It was not our first time when this restaurant was “on our radar”, as we visited the region one year before, and wanted to try it out. At that time, my girlfriend felt like the menu was focusing too much on fish, and I can fairly say that, one year later, wow, was she wrong :).

The location itself, whilst not very impressive from the outside, is very cozy and well designed on the inside, just perfect for a relaxed, yet memorable dining experience. The staff was very attentive and their English was spot on (I am Portuguese, but my girlfriend prefers English, so all of the dishes were explained and presented accordingly).

It’s not by chance that one of the menus was called the “Balanced” menu, as for us - who like fine dining, and are no strangers to 1 star Michelin restaurants, especially in Portugal - it was, perhaps, the most perfectly combined set of dishes we ever had.
Chef Antonio Loureiro succeeded in designing the menu in such an incredible way, that every dish (and I do not exaggerate when saying EVERY dish) was as tasty as it comes. The flavors, the attention to detail, but most importantly, the selection of ingredients, were the things that impressed us most. Looking back, it was hard to pick just one dish that stood out…because we liked them all.

We highly recommend this place, as it’s one of those hidden gems, which you should not miss, if you’re a foodie!”

“Experiencing Omakase in Braga is a delight for the senses. With a selection of authentic and innovative Japanese dishes, every meal is a celebration of flavor. The elegant atmosphere and warm service make the visit even more special. A real highlight on Braga's gastronomic scene.”

“Felt genuinely welcomed and part of the family. Menu of the day options. Arrive early as it is popular but tables open quickly too. Tasty soup and meals. Definitely a place to eat at while in town. Nice vibe and decor too. Updated from previous review on 2025-04-20”

“We made a stop at this place for an ice cream after researching a bit on google about a good ice cream place
In Braga. We were not let down. It is a really good quality gelato. We had the pistachio, hazelnut, and chocolate. Awesome taste for the 3 flavours. Highly recommended.”

“Lovely family with a delicious food and atmosphere. They made my brother's birthday incredible! Such nice people. I'm coming back next time we are in town!”

“Another great (veggie) lunch in guimaraes. We had the pasta with veggie balls and they were excellent! The service was very friendly. We visited with our little 3 month girl and it was a little noisy and we could not lie her down (no benches), but that did not ruin our experience. The service offered us a baby chair, but she can not sit yet. Thank you for the great food!”

“The meal is of excellent quality, the service is satisfactory. The environment is a little cramped and sunny. This is because Rua de D. Diogo de Sousa is sometimes busy.”

“The place is very cozy and the food is very delicious, perfect to enjoy a good time in Guimarães. The staff is very attentive and helpful, a very good option!!!”

“I loved!! Homemade burger ? the best I've ever eaten!
Very good indeed! And the traditional potatoes are very good!
I advise!!
I will repeat ??”

“Ao ver a placa na entrada, fiquei tanto surpreso quanto intrigado. Vocês destacam uma comida dita "caseira" e a prioridade é dada ao sabor.
Depois, ficamos ainda mais surpreendidos com a recepção, pois o humor do proprietário, a não levar ao pé da letra. No final, realmente sentimos que a comida era caseira, mas mais do que isso, descobrimos uma culinária fina e bem trabalhada. Eu pedi as bochechas de vitela, uma explosão de sabores, uma carne muito macia e suculenta. Dá para sentir o longo tempo de cozimento e o trabalho por trás desse prato, estava simplesmente delicioso ?.

O ambiente é acolhedor, perfeito para um encontro ou para comer em total tranquilidade. Recomendo vivamente. Não hesite em explorar as ruas pequenas e não se detenha nos primeiros preconceitos. Espere até o final antes de criticar ??.”

“Had a chai and pancakes with baked apples and salted caramel that were both amazinggg. Staff is super kind and place is cute as well (once you can find it). Prices are fair for high quality IMO. Definitely recommend!”

“After all, Saints in the house perform miracles. Being from Areias, I had been wanting to try Madeira Taste for months. It was missing! From the bolo do caco, to the cod to the kebabs, everything is great! The poncha is fabulous... Diverse menu with all the flavor of Madeira! Areias (or Além Rio) and Santo Tirso came out on top...to repeat! Several times...”

“Highly recommended
Nice Cousy place best for family and friends
Serving amazing foods, drinks all delicious
Excellent customer service”

“Fantastic food, extremely friendly service and availability.
It's great that it's open late and offers food for lunch until 4pm.
We were very well attended to and left very satisfied with the meal.
I recommend!”

“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.”

“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.”

“We found it by chance while looking for the hotel, we returned at night to have dinner, and the place is nice, good service, the staff are attentive and friendly, the price is good, and the food was very delicious, when we left we met the cook, who He is from Vigo, and we were able to talk a little with him, very nice, 100% recommended place”

“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.”

“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.”
