European Restaurants near Cervaes, PT

“After an exciting day of boating all day and having a lot of fun, nothing beats a little meat on a skewer to fill your stomach, not in the physical sense but in a figurative sense as the meat doesn't come in much abundance but it's delicious. that can't be denied with its bread do caco with herbs and olive oil and its very delicious fried corn is approved“

“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“

“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“

“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 !“

“It was one of the best restaurants I've ever been to, the food is great, the atmosphere is calm and the service is fantastic, they are very quick to serve I went today with my family, there were 5 of us and we spent €112 for 5 people, it's not a lot of money

Parking: There's a lot of space“

“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 ?“

“Nice and well decorated place. The food is very delicious although some starters are somewhat scarce in relation to the price. The excellent picaña. The only problem was the terrible attention of the gray-haired lady. Fortunately the rest of the staff made up for their rudeness.“

“Such a nice atmosphere and people warking there are amazing!:) Tried a cheese muffin- its gluten free and yummy! Ate a nata too. Everything was served hot Also had a sugar free cake (with dates instead) and coffee! Had a Birthday and asked for a candle which they kindly provided Felt so special and nice to be surrounded by such an ease :)“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food and service were great! Generous, hearty portions. Mushrooms and prawns were excellent starters. Steak and fish were excellent. Great for big groups. We were 11 and had a cozy set up. We had a couple of vegetarians in the group - menu is not vegetarian friendly but our server made a plan! Fairly good value for money.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!!!!“

“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?“

“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 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.“

“We stopped at this restaurant on the way to Santiago de Compostela by chance and were amazed.The menu is very varied, from starters to fish and meat dishes and even desserts. I can't even tell you about the flavor... I'm a fan of beef and for me it has to be at that point that few can reach... I was at that point! The chicken was also great and the dessert was really good.The decor is sober, very clean and tasteful, I didn't think I would find such professionalism in such young people, they are all young but they already know the value of good work.As for the price, which is what interests a lot of people, I honestly thought it would be more expensive, it was affordable.We will definitely return!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“We discovered this place by chance. We were the only ones in this quality restaurant and we were received like kings. The dishes on the menu are quite classic but prepared in an original way. The result is delicious. The chef and waitress were lovely. Good tips for wine. The icing on the cake, the waitress offered to take care of our baby when we ate. I highly recommend.“

“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! :)“

“The decor, ambience is extra ordinary. What a feast to the eyes. All features restored tastefully to the period. A gem of a place to dine. Food was very good too. Staff were very attentive to our needs. The owner even took time out and showed us around. Very impressed with what she had achieved. Perfect for weddings and functions. It definitely will not disappoint.“

“I went to have dinner with some friends and two dogs, it was the only dog friendly place in all of Barcelos that was open at this moment. The food was good and the service very good. As a dog owner, I support all the businesses where my dog is welcome.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“(Translated by Google) A wonderful find in Braga, excellent service, a pleasant cozy and comfortable environment, the food from starters to desserts, a very extensive wine list, congratulations on the project. on repeat(Original)Um belíssimo achado em Braga, atendimento excelente um ambiente agradável aconchegante e confortável, a comida desde as entradas as sobremesas, uma carta de vinhos muito vasta, parabéns pelo projeto. A repetir“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“An experience to repeat without a doubt!Fantastic food, nothing industrialized, everything delicious and homemade, tender meat, desserts from the Gods.It is worth highlighting the very professional service provided by Angela, professional and friendly??“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
