European Restaurants in Esposende, PT

“A good address in Esposende. Very good traditional Portuguese cuisine and very good value for money. We feasted on cod and octopus.
Service a little long. Desserts not great but we know that this is not the specialty of Portuguese restaurants. We will still come back with pleasure.“

“The PIZZA—Wow, definitely a MUST try! The crust was delicious on its own! The salad we had was perfectly seasoned— I am picky with my salads, but Dolce Sapporo’s salad didn’t have too much vinegar, nor too many herbs, nor bathed in dressing. The restaurant is very nicely designed, and the staff very friendly and attentive. Didn’t have time to try the desserts, hopefully we can return soon. Absolutely LOVED it!“

“We loved the food, we had the executive menu. The super nice people. The only downside is that it took a long time between courses. They apologized, but that doesn't mean I have to stop commenting on it (more than 20 minutes)

Parking: on the street“

“Small restaurant with simple food. Price for 2 starters, 2 main courses, 2 desserts, 1 bottle of wine and a small bottle of water 40€. Good service! Attention: If you don't take bread and olives, you should definitely check the bill.“

“Typical restaurant with excellent cuisine and extremely helpful and friendly staff. Outside tables are available with a pleasant view of the river and sunsets.
Even though the place was full, a table was made available to us in record time and Joana was extraordinary in giving us suggestions and accompanying our dinner. The dish that most captured my taste was a nice grilled sea bass shared with my wife and it was enough to satisfy our hunger. Definitely interesting sangria. Cost around €25 per head with abundant side dishes“

“Newcomers to these things Google couldn't stop praising this house. On vacation in Esposende they recommended this barbecue. An excellent surprise. I ordered and it was ready on time. Fresh produce and excellent barbecue sauce. Clean place and people. We will be back soon for sure.“

“Best pizza restaurant ever, staff are incredibly nice and all staff have a knowledgeable of English which makes it very tourist friendly!!! Pizzas are made in a stone oven and freshly served, prices range from 10€ to 15€ way too cheap for amazing food, they have a big variety of foods from pizzas to pastas and even burgers. Evening time the restaurant is always somewhat full but the staff always find accommodation to every need you may desire, inside the restaurant it may get very humid from the oven and the outside heat but in general everything is perfect the outside is covered with umbrellas in case of sharp sunlight. Perfect for big family dinners or singular meals. I absolutely recommend this restaurant for my life, i come at least once every vacation i spend in Esposende. Everytime i arrive it feels like a family meet and a home cooked dinner! BEST RESTAURANT IM ESPOSENDE BY FAR!!!!

Kid-friendliness: Staff are very nice to children and are not bothered by children.

Wheelchair accessibility: Inside and outside are very spacious only the bathroom may be a slight problem depending.“

“A great place to stop for something to eat or drink. Passing by on Camino, we stopped in for a break. This place feels welcoming, it is clean, styled well and modern. The food options are great and the quality was great. The beer on draught was fresh and fair priced. Choices on the menu were good. I would highly recommend this place if you are hungry. If it was in my neighbourhood, I would frequent it regularly. It was a great stop on our Camino. The service is polite, casual and in our experience, typically Portuguese, with servers being relaxed. They spoke English too, which was appreciated.“

“Good portions, variety of wines and beers at a more than reasonable price. You don't spend a lot of money and you eat well

Vegetarian options: There are options for vegetarians

Parking: It depends on the day and time you go. Between 9pm and 10pm you park with some difficulty

Kid-friendliness: Children are accepted, without problem“

“We were in the restaurant for the second time after 2022, and it was again worth a visit.
The food, we again had the cod dish for two people, was very tasteful. This time the potatoes weren't the country's typical, rather chip-like freshly fried potato chips (I prefer the typical ones, it's very individual).
The service is very attentive, as we speak Portuguese we had a very good attentive service. A little “inattentive” here and there, but not annoying if you don’t have to have everything perfect.
In summary, a nice and tasty dinner, I love coming back every few years, it's no longer quite the WOW experience of the first cod - but still a recommended address around Esposende.
Great value for money - especially the wine list and recommendation “…de la Rosa “Douro”, which went well with the dish.

Parking: No problem - enough free parking spaces

Kid-friendliness: As you are used to in Portugal, extremely hospitable and child-friendly??

Wheelchair accessibility: No problem“

“I went alone to eat the dish of the day...a beautiful labrador pasta...I can say that it was the best ranch I remember eating, with everything it was worth, everything very well prepared, from the pasta, to the vegetables and the meat, I can say it was enough for two people...to be repeated without a doubt...extremely friendly service, terrace overlooking the mouth“

“Good price/quality ratio for the type of establishment's menu.
Ease of parking.
The service was very efficient, friendly and fast.
Food very well prepared and with excellent presentation.
Large and airy room.
It has terrace service.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Special restaurant of those that no longer exist. You have to reserve and they ask you what you want, meat or fish and how to cook it (cooked, roasted, grilled...).
The day you go, depending on what you find in the market, that's what you'll eat, come on, it's a surprise.

We "got" an INCREDIBLE grilled sea bass. One of the best fish I have ever eaten. They also give you some delicious fried appetizers (you can refuse them or they will charge you, but I recommend accepting them).

Add to this that the staff is pleasant and the place has a traditional charm, and you shouldn't miss it if you are in the area.

The price, including all the appetizers, a coffee and a tea, and a shot of brandy, in our case was 56 euros.“

“Super cuisine. Le top pour déguster poissons et fruits de mer. Un succès qui se voit dès l’entrée et le temps d’attente sur la rue où les voitures croisent clients et serveurs (attention!).
Ce succès se voit aussi dans les toilettes qui mériteraient plus d’attention ou un peu d’investissement.
Addition 100€ /2 personnes. On était plus habitué à ces montants, mais c’était très bon.“

“Everything went as expected.
Good service, friendly and attentive staff.
The brill was spectacular as was the octopus.
There's only one thing I didn't like, the prawns were a little dry.
The coastal shrimp and clams were very good too.
Regarding the price, I won't remember it anymore, the lunch exceeded the price.“

“Nice and quiet place to have a coffee or a bite to eat. Friendly staff. Terrace located just at the front of the main street, there is a lot of traffic. Parking on the sides.

Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance level from the sidewalk and possibility of dropping people right in front, easy access.“

“We visited the establishment on Saturday at lunchtime. Fast service, cold beer and delicious food (large portions). The background music was not disturbing, there were many free seats on the summer terrace. I recommend?

Vegetarian options: Have a veggie burger

Kid-friendliness: Chairs for children“

“I hadn't visited this house in a good couple of years and decided to revisit it. The option for Reguenga cod was the right choice. Very well cooked in a very generous portion (serves 3 people) with quality cod at a fair price. Friendliness and professionalism in service. Repeating.“

“(Translated by Google) An excellent lunch with two award-winning specialties of sea bass. The employees are super friendly and professional. Strongly recommend.(Original)Um almoço excelente com duas especialidades premiadas, de robalo do mar. Os empregados super simpáticos e profissionais. Recomendo vivamente.“

“Without a doubt a reference when looking for quality. Intimate, relaxed and welcoming place. The food is sensational and the service is fantastic.
Never disappoints! Thank you to all the staff... A place to come back to again and again!“

“On the 12/06th, I visited the dunas space, I had never known such a pleasant space as Dunas, an incredible smell of sea air, as it is above the dunes, with the noise of the sea from the bottom, an incredible feeling of peace and harmony !
I tried the preguinho sandwich, I-N-C-R-I-V-E-L!
All the employees were super friendly and incredible, my son dropped his pacifier on the floor, a job immediately came running and disinfected it!
I loved!“

“We chose to have lunch on a Saturday at 1pm, there was no need to make a reservation. The menu had a good variety. The service was excellent due to its kindness, speed and efficiency. We opted for broken eggs and francesinha, which were delicious.

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible bathroom and ground floor restaurant“

“I really like stopping here to think, surrounded by a privileged view of the sea and a caipirinha.

Parking: Parking here in the summer is (almost) impossible.

Wheelchair accessibility: Recent works have greatly improved wheelchair access.“

“We went despite reading the negative comments, because the food in the photos looked good. And how happy we are, excellent quality-price, great food, healthy side dishes and not so many fried potatoes, super fast. We loved it. The owner is serious yes, but very professional, everyone is as they are. The next day we repeated, they have very good dishes of the day and at a very good price, the desserts are also very delicious.100% recommendable.

Kid-friendliness: It is a square and you can be comfortable with the kids, nearby there is a very large and very cool playground.“

“(Translated by Google) In Portugal and particularly where I work (esposende) I always have lunch here, due to the variety, quantity and quality price, the only thing (against) is that it's always crowded, even though it doesn't take much time depending on the time of day and the noise is immense, but it's normal ..Thanks(Original)Em Portugal e particularmente onde trabalho (esposende) almoço sempre aqui, pela variedade, quantidade e qualidade preço, a única coisa (contra) é estar sempre lotado, ainfa que nao se esoera muito tempo dependendo da hora e o barulho imenso, mas é normal..Obrigado“

“The bar is very well situated, overlooking the river and garden. The space, whether indoor or outdoor (terrace), is excellent, relaxing and pleasant. I drank a good gin and tonic to the sound of a serene musical melody accompanied by birdsong. Unforgettable moments. The service and cleanliness are excellent, with people enjoying lunch at midday.“
