With this Family's own Coziness in every detail without fail, whether in the people themselves, in the food, or in the comfort of the entire space. We felt at home and came with the desire to return.

One see you soon,
Monica and Roberto“

“Staff very nice and attentive. Rapid. They spoke Spanish. Very friendly with the dog. The cod is exquisite, the wine too. And the desserts are very delicious. All delicious and at a good price. With water, wine, starter, main and dessert at 26 euros each. Highly recommended!“

“There is a queue so it’s best you book, otherwise just turn up and the gentleman takes your mobile and calls you back when they have a table ready. We walked for 30 mins ! Food was Devine we had the Sardinhas asadas & bacalhau da casa and the desert was absolutely delicious natas do céu ;-)“

“Nice little restaurant.
Locally nicely decorated and attention to detail.
Requests for a table for 13 people were taken care of immediately.

Food was beautifully presented and tasted good too.
Keep it up ?“

“A restaurant with a high quality product, well cooked and with unbeatable treatment by the staff, they know how to recommend the dishes very well and are friendly and approachable.
It is worth it and I will repeat the next time I am there.“

“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.“

“Cozy place with very nice background music. Excellent treatment by the owner, very friendly and professional. We ordered rice with lubricant and ribeye, as recommended and it was a success, just like the wine.We were a bit heavy with the point of meat and he did not lose his smile for a moment. The homemade desserts are incredible. The tiramisu was ten.I would go back without a doubt.“

“I comment on this from my personal experience of eating there several times. The restaurant is family-run, the service is good, very friendly, generally fast and optimal attention. The food is good, medium price, good quality and preparation. The entries are well prepared and presented. The menu has few options (which is not a bad thing, it is better to have few and good ones than not too many and not be made fresh as is the case in many cities), there is a fish option depending on the market, and some meat. Personally, I have tried goat and it is good (43 euros, 2 people), the desserts are very good (about 6 euros approx). It only has a couple of tables on the terrace, perhaps that discourages many tourists who prefer the nearby central square with several terraces to eat, however if you are looking for something authentic and more traditional, try it. A surprising detail is the bathrooms: very careful, impeccable, with several details... more typical of a very superior restaurant, and I mention this because I have eaten in numerous restaurants throughout the country and I know what I'm talking about, there are restaurants with a lot of fame and popularity but not in its bathrooms. That detail to me says a lot about customer care. On weekends it may be advisable to book, on weekdays it is usually no problem.

Kid-friendliness: As far as I know there are no restrictions with children or families.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is accessible as it is on the ground floor at street level.“

“One of my favorite go to places, located in the seaside village of Moledo, in the Minho Region of Portugal, one of Portugal’s best kept secrets… Don’t come if you don’t want to fall in love…Arroz de tamboril (monkfish rice) with shrimp, and be sure to reserve in advance as well as ask to eat in outdoor terrace with granite tables and benches…Their bacalhau and meats are mouth watering…Wash it all down with the house wine - Vinho Verde, red or white in a bowl (malga).Don’t forget to leave room for the delicious homemade desserts!!!“

“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!“

“A beautiful restaurant 5 minutes from Viana do Castelo and also close to the Vilanova da Cerveira fair. The rice with lubricant and the cod ao Camelo were exquisite. The perfect attention. Looking forward to returning.

Parking: In front of the restaurant“

“(Translated by Google) 4 people ate cod, francesinha and secreto de cerdo any of the 4 very abundant portions. The staff was very friendly, explaining to us everything we did not understand about the menu since our Portuguese is not very advanced. Definitely recommended.(Original)Comimos 4 personas bacalao,francesinha y secreto de cerdo cualquiera de las 4 raciones muy abundantes.El personal muy amable explicndonos todo lo que no entendiamos de la carta ya que nuestro portugués no es mui avanzando.Sin duda recomendable.“

“Francesinhas super good.2 days after an order of bacalahau from home, with a tasting with longtime friends from OUTEIRO.Great time for 2 French people attached to this small village near Viana do Castelo.Thanks again to the staff and the cook.Emmanuel Delphine.“

“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“

“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.“

“Very good restaurant, with excellent dishes, they serve an exquisite baked cod, with very good preparation and presentation, as well as the rest of the meat dishes and their accompaniments that they have on their menu, in addition to their desserts, the homemade ones are highly recommended, in special the house dessert. The attention to the tables by their staff is highly professional, they stand out for their good attention and speed. As for the price, it is acceptable in terms of quality-price ratio.“

“Wonderful food and spectacular desserts. A place to return without a shadow of a doubt!

Vegetarian options: Every day there is a vegetarian and a meat/fish option in the dishes of the day

Kid-friendliness: There is a corner with toys dedicated to children

Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps in space“

“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.“

“Little corner of paradise by the ocean.
Nelson (manager) fantastic and super friendly. Drink a little aperitif with some top shellfish.
The atmosphere is awesome.
I highly recommend ?
There are more cases than going through the door to find a friendly and unique warmth.“

“We ordered super salty cod, we left practically everything and they offered to give us others when we were already paying.

Vegetarian options: They have several things

Parking: Very good location and lots of space“

“WOW! Not many restaurant owners attempt—let alone succeed—in crafting a complete customer experience from the moment of reservation to the reception, atmosphere, service quality, and meals, but Retiro da Ponte does just that! The serene theme, beautifully set against a backdrop of nature, is evident in the stunning views and thoughtfully arranged tables.

The staff was incredibly helpful during the reservation process and provided excellent support throughout our visit. The pâté, olives, bread, and butter were delightful. My wife and I both ordered steak dinners, with her substituting the potatoes for a mixed green salad. For dessert, she chose the pecan pie with vanilla ice cream, while I opted for the lemon custard, which was truly the best I’ve ever tasted.

The restrooms were immaculate and even featured monogrammed towels, which was surprisingly unexpected. The ambiance was both visually appealing and meticulously organized. I have two suggestions for improvement: first, I would have preferred to lower the volume for the music a bit, and personally would have chosen a more sophisticated jazz style, as this would have elevated the experience even further. Second, as a foreigner, it stresses me find out which card brands are accepted. My suggestion would be to include a list of accepted card brands on the first page of the menu, possibly with a brief history about the ownership or operation.

Final thought: I drove by many times but could only dine in on our last day in Vilar dos Mouros, and I wish we could have enjoyed it sooner! Thank you!

Parking: As long as you come early, you should be able to find a parking spot near the restaurant, around the local market, or across the Medieval Bridge next to the St Amaro church.

Kid-friendliness: Food for kids is available.“

“This was a surprise find. Very good value for money, very nice service, even if no English spoken. With the help of online translation, we had a very nice dinner. Local bubbly for 10.50 Euro was fine, Reserva red wine for 14 euro was excellent, possibly the best we had in Portugal. Almond cake for dessert was very large and very fresh. Fantastic value for money.“

“Nine kilometers into our Camino trek, we stumbled upon a welcome sight: Areia Cozinha na Praia. Exhausted but optimistic, we bellied up to the table.

The Sopa de Peixe e Camarao, a delectable hearty fish and shrimp stew, warmed my friends from the inside out. I savored the Creme de Ervilhas e Chourixo, a pea and chorizo cream soup, that was equally comforting.

It was the most high-falutin soup/meal and exactly what our weary legs craved. Refueled and spirits high, we were ready to tackle the next leg of our Camino adventure.“

“With saying that I go every day..........

Vegetarian options: Well that's it, vegetables.

“(Translated by Google) True old-fashioned tasco, good and varied snacks, from octopus, navalheiras, shrimp from the coast, passing through the more traditional hand of cow, codfish, conger, rojões, etc. All depending on what's on the day. Accompanied by good wines, friendliness and simplicity of the staff and a very nice terrace in summer!(Original)Verdadeiro tasco à moda antiga, bons e variados petiscos, desde polvo, navalheiras, camarão da costa, passando pelos mais tradicionais mão de vaca, bacalhau à posta, congro, rojões, etc. Tudo consoante o que há no dia. Acompanhado por bons vinhos, simpatia e simplicidade do pessoal e uma esplanada muito agradável no verão!“

“A wonderful surprise. ❤️
Incredible service with a lot of friendliness in the mix!

We ordered the house Bacalhau and loved it.
I recommend it for lunch and to enjoy a good time with friends and family.

Eat and drink well, it's here!
I would also like to add that I don't understand the negative comments I read, they don't make any sense.

“(Translated by Google) An experience of 10, food quality price, excellent service. Without a doubt I would repeat. Super recommended. If you go through Moledo I recommend it. Greetings Spain. ?(Original)Un experiencia de 10, la comida calidad precio, un servicio excelente. Sin dudarlo repetiría. Súper recomendado. Si pasas por Moledo te lo recomiendo. Un saludo España. ?“

“Vapor is definitely an amazing place to relax by the sea. The relaxed atmosphere is perfect for enjoying good music while sipping a cold beer at affordable prices. The caipirinhas and mojitos are simply unforgettable, elevating the experience of each sunset into something truly special. Furthermore, the exceptional service from the staff contributes to a positive experience. If you're looking for a place with beach vibes, great drinks and a nice atmosphere, Vapor is definitely the place to visit.“

“It is clear that they are professionals in the sector. The waiter who served us today has many tables, he was very attentive and friendly. The food is also spectacular. All very very rich. We ate starters of cheese and sardine pâté, grilled cod with boiled potatoes and another "cachelo" type, as well as cabbage. Delicious. The desserts are also homemade and very well made. The truth is that we take away the memory of an exceptional meal and want to return soon. Moito obrigado!“

“According to Google, the restaurant opens at 7 p.m. Please don't go until 7:30 p.m. The food was great, we liked it. For beef, if necessary, give instructions on how you should grill the meat (medium, etc).

Otherwise everything is okay in terms of price. We were told that there was a pilgrim menu, but there probably wasn't.“

“Dels millors restaurants on varem menjar a portugal. Caldo verde bonissim, sardines també, ensalada molt bona. Cuina sencilla pero amb ingredients de qualitat. Com a pega, no es pot pagar amb tarjeta, i el propietari fa comptes de cap que no ens van acabar de quadrar amb el que esperavem pagar( bastant més elevat que el haviem calculat nosaltres).“

“A nice bar located next to the Lima River.The atmosphere is very relaxed. There are some seats inside, but the ideal is to stay outside. Sometimes they organize music shows.The staff is friendly and the products are quite good.The only downside is the presence of mosquitoes at dusk, which is perfectly normal given that the bar is in the middle of nature, so if you want to stay late it's a good idea to bring some repellent.I also recommend making a reservation, as there are days when the crowd is large.“

“Our last dinner in Caminho - ended very well. We ate outside on one of the small tables. The menu is small but we tried most of it to share amongst our family. We loved it all - very well prepared & presented. Service was very friendly although perhaps slightly slow - however this is a place to relax & enjoy“

“We liked it a lot, the spacious, beautiful restaurant, very quiet and pleasant terrace and the food was 10, good quantities and good flavor. The boys' attention was perfect, thank you. The white sangria is also very delicious. We will be back.“

“It had been on the list for almost a year. Today was the day. We will return to try the remaining specialties. Easy access location, good atmosphere, interesting decor, diverse menu, high quality dishes. For all this, I repeat that we will return.

Parking: We had no difficulty parking on the street near the restaurant.“

“(Translated by Google) Ample space, with tables outside, the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.The food is simply superb. Food that "tastes like homemade", very well served (it's even too much) and very appealing prices.I recommend!!!!(Original)Espaço amplo, com mesas no exterior, o ambiente descontraído e agradável.A comida é, simplesmente, soberba. Comida a "saber a caseiro", muito bem servido (até é demasiado) e preços muito apelativos.Recomendo!!!!“

“Long established roadside restaurant with lots of freshly prepared dishes using local ingredients including many from their garden. Excellent food especially grilled meats/fish. Friendly, quick service. I've been coming here for over 13 years and it remains consistent and good value for money.“

“(Translated by Google) Gizzards are really good and divine dog! I loved getting to know you and I intend to come back often! Mr. Lima is very kind!(Original)Moelas são mesmo boas e cachorro divinal! Adorei conhecer e pretendo voltar sempre! O senhor Lima é muito gentil!

Parking: Cafe, simples mas muito bom para um fino e picar algo simples!“

“Good afternoon, my family and I came to spend a holiday in Vila Praia de Ancora, when looking for a place to eat I came across the positive reviews of this restaurant and we decided to give it a try.

The place has a good and very welcoming atmosphere, the servers are very attentive and polite, the burgers also have a lot of flavor, fresh meat, and a 5⭐️ appearance, and with an affordable price compared to the quality of the food, all in all we conclude that it is a great place to go. a meal and for socializing.

Congratulations to the person responsible for the excellent team!!??“

“I just left this restaurant, I'm from Aveiro and I haven't had good homemade fries and excellent rice in a restaurant for many years.. with that I'm not even going to talk about the meat, 100 stars overall.. excellent, efficient service.. very, very top. ..thanks“

“Super simple place but with very good food. Super well attended. I had a 4 year old child with me, who ate it without any problems, and there is soup on the menu.

Parking: Parking 5 minutes walk from the place, more or less, as the restaurant is located on pedestrian streets.“

“The food, the service, the hospitality is fantastic. We have eaten here each time we come to Covas. The son of the owner (forgot to ask him his name) is a real patron of the restaurant, attentive, speaks fantastic English which puts our attempt at Portuguese to shame.“

“We were eating at this restaurant today, the food was very delicious, the staff couldn't be friendlier and the atmosphere was very calm. It is not the typical tourist restaurant, it is a relaxed place where you can eat very delicious food. The price is very appropriate. It has details of a more expensive restaurant, such as bringing you warm, wet towels to clean your hands when you finish eating. If we return to Ponte de Lima we will not hesitate to return.“

“A restaurant located in a beautiful property next to the Deer Viewpoint.
Very friendly and attentive service.
It shows that they are starting and improving, they lack details such as improving the dining room a little, but it is compensated with friendliness, reasonable food and a short, but good wine list and at a very good price.
The owner very attentive.“

“(Translated by Google) Very good, every time I ate there I enjoyed myself, the owners and the staff are super friendly, a good atmosphere, I recommend ????(Original)Très bien, chaque fois que j y ai mangé je me suis régalée, les patrons et le personnel sont super sympa, une bonne ambiance, je recommande ????“
