“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!!“

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!“

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.“

“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...“

“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.“

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.“

“Very nice discovery, the cuisine is simple and excellent, a nice, typical place and an impeccable waiter, very nice. I highly recommend . All is well !!!! Taste their dried meat as an aperitif, and of course the house Portuguese white wine!“

“A great experience! Friendly atmosphere, helpful staff and very good food.

We ordered garlic bread with cheese (starter), cod puff pastry and a vimaranes francesinha.
To finish, we tried the Dona Maria sweet, an excellent combination of chocolate mousse with camel baba, biscuits and cream.

Without a doubt, I will repeat it when I return to Guimarães.“

“(Translated by Google) Best of the restaurants in Minho. There is no better lamb and veal roasted in a wood-fired oven in the region. Today I tried the cod with bread and it was divine, repeating it.(Original)Melhor dos restaurantes do Minho. Não há melhor cabrito e vitela assada no forno à lenha na região. Hoje experimentei o bacalhau com broa e estava divinal, a repetir.“

“(Translated by Google) A great experience, you choose your fish in the window and it is grilled to perfection. A treat...with potatoes, salad and spinach with garlic. The staff and Monsieur Louis are super friendly and speak French. I recommend, to do after visiting the castles of Guimaraes.(Original)Une super expérience, on choisit son poisson dans la vitrine et il est grillé à souhait. Un régal...avec pommes de terre, salade et épinards à l'ail. Le personnel et monsieur Louis sont super aimables et parlent français. Je recommande, à faire après la visite des châteaux de Guimaraes.“

“Restaurant with exquisite furniture and decoration. Beautiful wine cellar with a set of mirrors that deceives the eye, giving unexpected depth to the rooms. Well prepared and abundant meal without being overdone. Pay attention to the details, starting with the menus and continuing with the friendliness of the service. Side dishes are sometimes a little late and therefore almost cold, contrasting with the main dish that arrives pleasantly boiling, releasing fragrances that the palate soon begins to guess...
Pleasant dessert. Price to match in a good relationship with the environment, service and meal. Definitely a restaurant not to be missed for lovers of good things in the city of Braga, fifteen minutes from the center, on foot, to help digestion...
Congratulations to the Management and the entire friendly team.“

“The food was divine, starting with the starters: suckling pig patties and cod cakes.
The dishes: we ordered cod with cornbread, cod with hillock and veal steak.
A highlight is the hilly cod, served with delicious mashed potatoes.
Dessert: the almond tart was wonderful.
Another very positive aspect of the restaurant: the service. All professionals are very attentive, efficient and kind.
The location and ambience of the restaurant are also very pleasant.
Congratulations to all the professionals at Restaurante do Outeiro for providing unforgettable moments for the restaurant's patrons.“

“I took "Codfish in Braga", very filling. Very good. Potatoes in fried rings, nickel. All drizzled with olive oil, as I like.Dessert: baked apple, excellent. Come with your eyes closed.My wife took the cod with breadcrumbs, potatoes, cabbage. Excellent.All for a very reasonable price. We will come back without hesitation.“

“(Translated by Google) I've been living in Braga for five years and this was without a doubt the best cod I've ever tasted. Service is friendly and welcoming. The cheesecake for dessert was amazing! Keep it up.(Original)Vivo há cinco anos em Braga e esse foi sem dúvidas o melhor bacalhau que já experimentei. O atendimento é simpático e acolhedor. O cheesecake na sobremesa estava incrível! Continuem assim.“

“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.“

“(Translated by Google) Friendly, practical and available staff! For those who live in the hustle and bustle and need a tasty and quick meal, there's no better place!(Original)Staff simpatico, prático e disponível! Para quem vive na agitação e precisa de uma refeição saborosa e rápida não há melhor sítio!“

“(Translated by Google) Very tasty and well seasoned food. Clean environment, fast service and the best: the menu is on Facebook daily, which is really practical (I could have it here on Google too! ????). I recommend!(Original)Comida muito saborosa e bem temperada. Ambiente limpinho, atendimento rápido e o melhor: o menu está diariamente no Facebook, o que é mesmo muito prático (podia ter aqui no Google tb! ????). Recomendo!“

“It is a restaurant in a non-touristy neighborhood of Braga. The business is frequented by people from the city. Menu at an incredible price (for its offer) and the menu with very good prices from half portions to full portions. We recommend the entrecôte, cod and picaña! The treatment was exquisite, very friendly!“

“(Translated by Google) 3 different dishes every day, today we chose the steak with pepper sauce. The steaks were tender and flavorful. 1 mug of white sangria and 1 water 1.5L, 2 desserts and 2 coffees.Without dessert it would be 7.5€ per day with bread+dish+beverage+coffeeWith dessert it's €1.5 moreFast and effective serviceI strongly advise(Original)3 pratos diferentes todos os dias, hoje escolhemos o bife com molho pimenta. Os bifes estavam tenros e saborosos. 1 caneca de sangria branca e 1 água 1.5L, 2 sobremesas e 2 cafés.Sem sobremesa ficaria a 7.5€ a diária com pão+prato+bebida+caféCom sobremesa são mais 1.5€Atendimento rápido e eficazAconselho vivamente“

“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“

“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!“

“Honestly, everything is incredible, the quantities are there, it's difficult to finish, the fries are homemade, the rice is super well seasoned, the cod is honestly worth the detour!!
The servers are honestly very nice!!

If you have the opportunity, come and try, you have nothing to lose!!!“

“(Translated by Google) I was walking around looking for a restaurant, and I found Canudo I was surprised by the service and the quality of the dish for the price paid...very good I advise anyone who is close to Braga and wants to be surprised....5** **(Original)Andava pelas redondezas à procura de um restaurante, e encontrei o Canudo fui surpreendido pelo atendimento e pela qualidade do prato para o valor pago...muito bom aconselho a quem estiver por perto de Braga e queira ser surpreendido....5****“

“Only 4 stars because...Excellent suckling pig, perfect service but...No menu displayed or presented and o surprise...while we tell you that the letao is accompanied by salads and batatas fritas, everything is extra. Note that letao is already more expensive than the surrounding restaurants. We were asked twice if we wanted more but... no one told us if extra in the name.Better info needed“

“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.“

“I was lucky enough to eat with a group in April, during a visit to Guimarães.The attention, excellent. Very kind and nice staff. The waiter who served us, very attentive and pleasant, attentive at all times.The food, rich and in good quantity.Recommendable.“

“(Translated by Google) Nice place with good wood oven pizzas. Friendliness, good coffee ☕️, free Wi-Fi. There is no ATM. ????????(Original)Local agradável com boas pizzas em forno a lenha. Simpatia,bom café ☕️, Wi-Fi grátis. Não tem multibanco. ????????“

“S. Gião in Guimarães is a culinary masterpiece! This exceptional restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. The pasta with shrimps was cooked to perfection, with succulent shrimp and a flavorful sauce. The tiramisu was creamy and divine, and the mushrooms were tender and expertly prepared. But the real surprise was the Smashed Eggs in appetizers - a game-changer!

Every single dish was top-notch, with fresh ingredients, precise technique, and presentation that was almost too beautiful to eat. Almost.

The service was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home.

S. Gião is a must-visit for anyone in Guimarães looking for an exceptional dining experience. Don't miss out on their outstanding pasta, tiramisu, mushrooms, and Smashed Eggs - your taste buds will thank you!

Highly recommend S. Gião for a truly unforgettable meal in Guimarães. Book your table now and get ready for a culinary journey!“

“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.“

“(Translated by Google) Best dog with francesinha sauce we've ever had. Nice space, attentive service but a little slow. Great quality price. to come back. I recommend.(Original)Melhor cachorro com molho de francesinha que já comemos. Espaço simpático, serviço atencioso mas um pouco lento. Preço qualidade ótimo. A voltar. Recomendo.

Vegetarian options: Havia opção de francesinha vegetariana

Kid-friendliness: Existe menu infantil

Parking: Em frente ao restaurante“

“The environment is pleasant. An old stone building with exquisite wooden furniture.

The service is attentive.

The food is very good, with tasty tapas, although I consider the price to be high for the size of the portions and the ingredients used. The tapas portions called "Pica Pau" and "Ovos Rotos" are excellent.

I think the wine options are relatively expensive. I miss a better value for money.

“Nous avons eu l’occasion de manger ici et nous n’avons pas été déçus. Le service est très agréable et le gérant est au petits soins pour ses clients ! Nous avons très bien mangé ! Le plateau de fromage était bien rempli et varié, le vin servi frais était très bon ! Et les plats succulents (le ragoût avait cuit pendant plusieurs heures). ? Je pense qu’il est indispensable de préciser que lorsque nous sommes venus, le gérant gérait tout seul (service et cuisine). Bravo monsieur, nous vous remercions pour ce bon moment. ?“

“I've known Café Oscar since 1999, when I arrived in Portugal...from England.It's changed its image in recent years... now it's much more chic. But prices remain reasonable.I don't think there is another cafe in Guimarāes that compares to this one. Reminds us of la belle époque. ?“

“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 ??.“

“The food was tasty, the portions generous and great value! We had the mushroom stroganoff which had tofu pieces, a lasagne and a filo pastry parcel. All of this was served with rice, veggies and a salad for less than 5 Euros each! They also offered a kids meal for under 4 Euros. They served the food amazingly fast. We highly recommend this place !“

“We had dinner here and everything was spectacular! A soft and delicious rice and an exaggerated amount! Lots of fish and shrimp. A very good taste. The only thing we didn't like was that he offered us to choose a starter from a tray, but the way he did it seemed to be a courtesy, as they do in many restaurants. And we have been charged and at a "golden" price to be here in Portugal. In the end, the quality and service was worth it. We would go back and we could decide better if we wanted the entrance or not ;)“

“Impeccable pizzas, made not in an oven but in frying pans!, and they come with crispy dough and quality products! The only "sin" for being small and having 2 outdoor tables, but the quality of the food and service are well worth it! We will be back!“

“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.“

“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!“

“We were four people and we did very well.
The choice fell on the Minho and Douro white wine menu.
The four-course menu is always the chef's choice and is only known when they arrive at the table.
The initial bread, crunchy, with sourdough, presided over by well-chosen olive oil and butter with… octopus roe, all received top marks.
Excellence dominated all the dishes, the soup, the fish, the meat and the final sweets, without exception. It is not important to describe them as they will not be the same on a subsequent visit.
The finish was enriched with variations of the abbey of Priscos and petit-gateaux with carrot, again with top marks.
Very professional service.
Very pleasant atmosphere on a Sunday when only one other table was occupied.
To revisit on a special day.“

“Very pleasant surprise with this restaurant. We ordered rojões and feijoada from Trás-os-Montes as the menu of the day, served with caldo verde, regional bread and house wine, of excellent quality, for just €6.5!
The staff were very attentive and quick.
Relaxed atmosphere in the historic center of Guimarães.
Congratulations to you ?????“

“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.“

“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.“
