“My top 2 francesinha, tasty, hot and with lots of sauce, lives up to a house that offers a beautiful francesinha!! Even better for having the best value in town, quality fries and delicious ice cream! Despite having few fine dining options, it is a place that I recommend and go to with pleasure!! Success to you!”

“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 ??”

“Very nice place for breakfast. The menu includes breakfast sets at good prices. The waiter was very helpful, I was toasted with gluten free bread that I had brought.”

“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!”

“Highly recommended

“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”

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.”

“I visited this space after reading the reviews written here and I couldn't have left more satisfied! The space is beautiful and very peaceful. The menu is extensive and has options for all tastes and budgets. The dishes chosen were divine! It is, without a doubt, a reference in the city of Vila Nova de Famalicão.”

“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.”

“Great food, atmosphere and attentive staff. We went with our dog and they allowed us to keep her in a corner of the terrace. Very attentive staff, hot dishes and a clean, sophisticated atmosphere. We will be back on our next visit to the city!”

“High quality sushi, very well prepared. Delicious hot ones, super crunchy. Dessert was also delicious (warm apple pie). Above average for sushi restaurants in the area. I highly recommend it. The service was very professional and helpful. Repeating.”

“We stumbled across this family owned restaurant and enjoyed a “meal of a lifetime.” Mussels, grilled squid and salmon were our main dishes and they were complemented by fresh salads and fish soup. The lemon mousse that finished our meal was pure perfection. When you are in Nazaré, make time to eat a meal at Restaurante Gil Vincente. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Daily menu always includes fish and meat dishes made on the day. We chose to order it with dessert and it was worth the price. They also serve pizza but we didn't get to try it.”

“Pleasant, clean space. Warming service. The Kebab on a bread wrap was well balanced with ham and salad. With side dish of fries. Side seasoning available. It was a nice quick lunch break.”

“I adore.
One of the most emblematic places in the city, with the most cheerful person I know!
Great food
Wonderful tapas...
