European Restaurants near Fajozes, PT

“The restaurant is easy to find, being on a street corner opposite the Municipal Park in the centre of town. We decided to have an early dinner and were there just after the restaurant opened. Most tables had reserved signs on them. We were lucky in that we got a table without having had made a reservation. We soon understood why. Starters of mussels and vegetable soup were both delicious. My partner had an excellent lemon sole (Linguado) and I had octopus (Polvo a Largareiro) which is probably the best I've had anywhere. Both were served with boiled potato and lots of greens. As usual with Madeiran restaurants, the servings were extremely generous. We shared a decent bottle of white Douro and finished with a light dessert called Molotov, mainly fluffed egg white with a drizzle of caramel sauce and a dusting of cinnamon. The quality of everything was exceptional. By the time we had been served our desserts, the restaurant was not only full, but there was a line of around twenty people outside waiting for tables. Wine, water, coffee and three courses came to just over 100 euro for two which is very reasonable for this quality of fare. Service is friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. With a reputation like this restaurant has, I'd say it's essential to book. I'd go back in a heartbeat.“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent service and wide variety of snacks. All employees are always attentive to the wishes of customers and high quality draft beer as well as the varied offer and quality of all products in general. Thanks(Original)Excelente serviço e grande variedade de petiscos. Todos os colaboradores estão sempre atentos aos desejosos dos clientes e a cerveja de pressão e de elevada qualidade bem como a variada oferta e qualidade de todos os produtos em geral. Obrigado“

“I went with a group of people and I confess that I was a little skeptical about the place, based on what I had heard and especially the prices charged. However, fortunately it was a good surprise. The service is discreet and efficient without much conversation, but everything arrives at the table at a good pace. Dinner was long and everything I tried was of excellent quality and with great care in presentation. Above all, the mixed meats were surprising due to their quality, as were the desserts. I liked the room, the environment is more complicated because there are several tables and groups in this case, it makes the environment more stuffy and noisy but that doesn't help, but without disturbing. In short, it won't be a place you can go "always" but it's an excellent option in this city for those looking to eat quality meat and beyond. I didn't have the opportunity to see the wine list because it was already chosen and I can't comment, it will be for analysis on a next visit.

“Absolutely outstanding restaurant. The chef creativity and execution of the food was incredible. The service was impeccable, very knowledgeable staff. Daniel was great!

We tried the Scallops, which were divine. We then the octopus which was also very good. These were matched with Sidonio de Sousa sparkling wine. We then had the Sea Bass with clams risotto - this was an absolutely outstanding dish! Wow... Finally we tried the lobster with a delicious risotto as well. These dishes were matched with Insula Chao de Lavas, an outstanding wine, perfectly matching the dishes. Finally, we tried their version of the tiramisu...again what a version! Delicious and matching was the fantastic Vinho Madeira Borges! All in all an excellent dinner! Thank you to all the team..“

“Buy your fish from the marke a few meters away. And here will cook it for you. Super nice and delicious cook.

“Accueil et service chaleureux, accueillant et agréable. Très rare de nos jours. Cuisine de poissons frais et bien préparer ! Une cuisine et une attention authentique. La Bonne réputation du Portugal passe par ce genre de restaurant ! Obrigado !“

“Restaurant, where the food is very good, affordable prices and very friendly staff. I advise you to keep your eyes closed. The dishes are plentiful. We were there for our daughter's 18th birthday. She was entitled to her candle on her dessert and an effigy 18.
Many thanks to you.
And before paying the bill, we double-check everything we ate together at the counter. No error possible.

“As for this restaurant, the building itself is a monument. It has such a nice interior in a perfect location right by the sea. You can see the outside through the large window, but I couldn't see outside because I had dinner. There are 22 course menus, of which we ordered 7 courses. All the dishes were perfect, but the prawns and cod were especially good. Our expectations for a Michelin two-star restaurant were very high, but this restaurant perfectly met them. Also, they gave me a tour of the kitchen before desert, which was also a very interesting experience. They gave us a tea as gift when we left. Strongly recommended.“

“Lovely place! Our visit to Lessa made our trip to Porto complete, such love for food, beautiful signature dishes, layerd taste, fresh ingrediënts, bold flavours combined with soft textures and surprising elements that either melt or explode in your mouth. Great taste, incredible refinement in food and wines! And great staff, they are all sweet, seriously skillfull and passionate people! We absolutely recommend this treasure.“

“The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is the price... we are eating good meat, but it is still too expensive for what it is.

However, the food is good, the space is different and very pleasant and the service is also very good.

For those who like good meat and don't look at the price, this is a very good restaurant :)

“Mandatory stop if you pass through Povoa, it is a restaurant in a large library with a unique and very cozy atmosphere.
Everything perfect, exquisite service and food, excellent quality/price ratio.
I would return without hesitation, it is a unique, unique and highly recommended place.“

“Excellent restaurant to eat quality fresh and well-cooked fish. Quality and concerned service. Price a little high for the house but perhaps in line with the competition. The invoice is not detailed, only mentioning the number of meals and the price.
Easy parking in the area.
For the quality, I recommend it.“

“We came to this restaurant when we were searching for restaurants near Sá Carneiro airport. The first impression is excellent. The owner is super friendly, the food is excellent, we ate cod with cornbread and prawn linguini. Excellently made and reasonably priced. We still meet Rita, the kitten who is already part of the house. Highly recommendable. We will be back.“

“A snack restaurant, away from everything but just 10 minutes from Porto, Talho Vaqueiro is a haven of good food in a unique atmosphere of old things spread across the walls of this butcher/grocery store transformed into a snack shop. Great food where broad beans with chorizo ​​are number one on a long list that ends in delicious chunks of veal. The friendliness of Mr Henrique and Mrs D Helena accompanies the high level of this gastronomic secret.“

“The Cod is simply wonderful, my daughter ordered the turkey steak and loved it, the waiter André was great with the service, and the dessert was the delicious Rabanada Poveira, Port wine and coffee, André a hug and see you next vacation .“

“Excellent service for excellent food. Very polite employees and always available. Lunch started at 2:00 pm and only ended at 5:00 pm even though the kitchen closed at 3:00 pm, the entire staff was super friendly and unlike many restaurants they allowed lunch to finish without rushing us. We also had a friendly visit from Mr António, the owner. He came to greet us personally and ask if everything was ok and thank us for our visit. All orders were divine. The octopus à lagareiro that I ate, using a different recipe, was tender and very well seasoned. But the best was saved for last, the moist sponge cake with a scoop of ice cream. Everything homemade and no words to describe the sponge cake, it was so good. The price is more than fair for the quality presented. Around 40 euros per person.“

“The place that always delivers!
Dinner tonight, started with chorizo bread, olives, and tuna pate.
.
Followed with crispy and fresh fried white bait.
.
Main was a fish and seafood "massada" , light with the hints of fresh parsley.
.
Dessert was "Rabanada" that is traditional from Xmas but was extremely soft and would melt in my mouth.
.
All this with Valados de Melgaço white wine and finished with 1990 Port from Dalva Wines.
.
If its your first time here just go with Filipe (owner) recommendations, you will definitely not regret!!!“

“Fabulous!!!!
There is nothing negative to point out.
Spectacular hosts, divine food, from starters to dessert, not forgetting the perfect wine list.
The facilities are super comfortable and clean!!!
Congratulations!!!! “

“We were highly recommended by a local colleague to have our lunch here. The restaurant, located near the seaside of Porto, boasts beautifully decorated interiors and exteriors. I enjoyed the fresh seafood, especially the catch of the day from the ocean. We shared a large grilled seabass, commonly caught in these waters, and it was delicious and fresh, simply grilled to perfection. I also loved the clams, which were incredibly fresh and cooked simply with olive oil, making them so flavorful and tasty, full of umami. Paired with the local Douro River white wine, it was a fantastic experience! My other colleague chose the local beef, which looked delicious as well. We ended the meal with cheesecake and tiramisu, both delightful. The service was fantastic, despite only one waitress speaking good English. Overall, it’s a great place to enjoy excellent cooking.“

“It became a habit to visit and eat the beautiful francesinha!! I'm a Francesinha fan and it's been a long time since I've eaten one so tasty and with such familiar service. Without a doubt, I am no longer able to go straight home after the trip without first stopping by this spectacular place. Very attentive with the children to the point that it is my daughter who already asks me to go there. She is 5 years old ? May 12th we are back ?“

“Restaurant that you would not notice from the facade, but it is worth entering and finding pleasant, friendly staff eager to offer you good food. Please come in and enjoy. Greetings to the waitress who made everything easier for us. Very good food“

“Tonka Bean,A restaurant that leaves us open-mouthed and smiling from ear to ear.For a meat lover, going for a vegetarian gastronomic experience is initially something that leaves you apprehensive. But, I couldn't be more wrong."What good thing!" From the starters to the dessert, from the atmosphere to the decoration, from the friendliness of the room to the talent of the kitchen,... without a doubt one of the best experiences I've had the pleasure of having.Thank you Tonka Bean“

“Very good value for money, in addition, the fish dishes are very large, ideal for sharing between two. We ordered a grilled sea bream and it was delicious, accompanied by seasoned boiled potatoes and vegetables. The service, very attentive. We went with three babies and they were very patient. Highly recommended.“

“A place with a lot of quality.I tried the house specialty for the first time. The puff pastry Francesinha. And not only was it delicious, it was lighter than the regular francesinha. To end the meal there was still room for a delicious slice of chocolate cake. Mr. António lives up to the hospitality of the people of Porto.“

“Lovely place in the heart of Pòvoa de Varzim. Hope atmosphere with tasty authentic food.Will be back next time I’m visiting the town.Thank you for the experience :)

Vegetarian options: Had tofu dish which would have worked for my vegan wife too :)“

“An excellent restaurant with top service from the kitchen to the counter, everyone was very professional and always with a smile, good quality food, nothing to say, the boss was always present and with a good atmosphere... I really enjoyed it again soon“

“We came here by chance because there were 10 of us and we didn't know where to eat.
They welcomed us with pleasure and prepared everything for us very quickly.
The waiters were super attentive the entire time and explained all the dishes to us without any problem.
It is a family business in a small and very cozy place.
The food was SPECTACULAR, we ate several sea bass, sea bream, meat, cod, fritters and squid and everything was incredible.
The super competitive price, compared to the rest of the places in the port that are obviously more touristy.
With top-notch fish and rolling out we don't cost more than €20 per person.

We didn't expect it but we were delighted!
Many thanks to the restaurant family ?“

“Very pleasant space, well decorated with a rustic style, great service and fantastic food.We ordered cod with cornbread in the oven over the phone in advance. It exceeded our expectations, with wonderful quality and quantity.For dessert, we chose banofee pie, simply perfect. We only paid 32 euros for everything.Thank you and we hope to come back soon ☺️“

“(Translated by Google) The best francesinhas in the whole city!! Homemade fries, quality products, impeccable service!(Original)Les meilleures francesinhas de toute la ville!! Des frites maison des produits de qualité, un service impeccable !“

“Excellent Portuguese cuisine restaurant. Garlic squid and prawn puff pastry. Excellent lunch that was suggested by Mr. Joaquim. Quiet and welcoming environment, friendly and very professional team. Great location to enjoy the flavors that come out of Paraíso's kitchen... Very good cream desserts, burnt to order, and mango mousse. Then coffee and... Back... To enjoy the flavors and friendliness of Paradise... So close to us...?“

“Extremely friendly, attentive and competent, as well as authentic service! I would like to give this one more star!

The ambience outside in the small square, surrounded by old, typical buildings from the turn of the century or older with a view of a beautiful linden tree, is simply very pleasant.

The food was very tasty. I had bacalau with potatoes, spinach and asparagus. Delicious!
The white wine recommended with it was very suitable and would have absolutely convinced me on its own.

Definitely a restaurant that I would happily recommend visiting.“

“To say it was spectacular is an understatement. The treatment is 10, from the moment you walk through the door everything is perfect, super nice and professional. The food is very delicious and well presented. The delicious desserts. The place is very beautiful, with several environments for all tastes. To repeat without a doubt!!

“My wife, 5 year old daughter and I just had the most lovely meal. My wife and I had the Scruff and beef rump and it was delectable and delicious. It was accompanied by a piping hot mushroom risotto and roasted vegetables. The meat was melt in your mouth and perfectly seasoned.

The kids menu was delightful. A well received vegetable soup was first. The main course was a moist and savory chicken breast with handmade potato chips (north american thin chips not the UK colloquialism for French fries). My daughter nearly ate the entire thing but the generous portion was just a little too great for her 5 year old belly.

The dessert was a simple vanilla ice cream that was creamy and not-too-sweey. A beautiful end to a fabulous meal.

We had the wonderful opportunity to meet the Chef, Rul Santos. He regaled us with some of the history of the local vermouth and the founding of the restaurant itself. We cannot recommend the restaurant enough to anyone and everyone. 5 stars!

Kid-friendliness: The kids menu was great value and it was delicious. If it were allowed I would have easily ordered it for my adult self“

“5* service
Delicious grilled sardines
5 sardines with boiled potatoes and salad for €9
Great price-quality ratio
The price is per individual dose
What was less pleasant was arriving at 8pm with an appointment and being immediately served and waiting for 1h30m for the food to arrive.
Too much waiting time for simple dishes
Slow but quality service
The owner is very friendly
No vegetarian options (not even a simple omelet with simple bean rice, for example) something that makes you think due to the fact that there are more and more people with this restriction
But unfortunately it is common in almost all local restaurants

Despite all this, I highly recommend visiting“

“We chose dishes of the day, sea bream with quinoa and vegetables and shrimp risotto. I had never eaten quinoa before, I was a little apprehensive. Both dishes were delicious. It should be noted that at first it even came with vegetable cream, which was also great. To finish, some slices of cream pie, apple pie, and red fruit cheesecake. Homemade cakes. Very good. Attentive and friendly service. Cozy atmosphere.“

“I've known this place since I was a child and I've always loved the magical touch they offer in both the francesinha and the top sauce ?? not to mention the friendliness as they are excellent people and professionals, thank you Mr Antonio and company for your dedication, good evening“

“We were walking from Póvoa de Varzim to São Félix hills on a sunny day. We were using the village route as it gradually takes to top. In between at Terroso we took a break at this cafe. Very nice cosy place decorated with agricultural instruments in a pleasant way. Very helpful staff. We will go again on our next walk.“

“I've known this restaurant for over 23 years, I've had many good times there.I don't go there as often as I want because I live far away... But when I go to the area I make a point of stopping by.It's been around a lot, it's changed a lot but always for the better?. If you want to eat well, have excellent service in a relaxed and "stupidly" well decorated environment (I used this word because of the excellent wine cellar on display, which in itself is a reason to visit)... Visit and do it. my words.Close to the beach, in the Póvoa de Varzim bullring area.Go there, you won't be disappointed...Bon appétit ?

Kid-friendliness: Large restaurant, without major obstacles or special care for children. No problem at all.“

“If you like pizza, pasta or salads, Formeria São Pedro is in good hands. Salads are served here in a freshly baked dough shell - a delight! The pizzas ? are very delicate here.

Vegetarian options: There are also vegetarian salads, pasta dishes and pizzas here.

Kid-friendliness: Children are welcome.“

“Excellent!
Well prepared dishes, with one very small flaw! Sufficient quantity.
The "almost" perfect sea rice!
Very professional staff, attentive, friendly and very willing.
The room is large and quiet.
Price, although a little high, is still almost fair.
I will definitely go back and recommend it without a shadow of a doubt.“

“A couple of us went for dinner, we let ourselves be guided by the Google reviews and we didn't fail.
Very attentive and pleasant waiters, orders came out quickly and well even though the restaurant was full.
Apart from the typical starters that are typical of Portugal, they served us a Broa bread filled with cheese and mayonnaise that was delicious, we also ordered a seafood rice for two that was delicious and quite a lot for the price. That, plus a bottle of wine and a bottle of water, with coffee and dessert, were about €66 for both.
Highly recommended.

Parking: Parking on the street, right in front of the beach.“

“Everything was worth it, from the broken cod eggs to the cod feijoada, but the sea rice won my heart. And Alexandre's service was the icing on the cake.
Kindness, friendliness and promptness are some of the words that can describe the service provided by Alexandre.
Congratulations to this beautiful restaurant, I will certainly return“

“The food was lovely. An amazing treat. We would return simply for the polvo and rice. Wouldn’t recommend with children though, the service is quite stiff and the restaurant quiet so was the least welcoming for families of all the restaurants we have ever been to in Portugal. However we had a nice time overall.“

“A chicly decorated restaurant. The portion sizes of the food were ideal. Beef steak was on point, tasted great and was extremely tender. The service was a bit stressful, probably because a wine tasting was taking place at the same time.

Kid-friendliness: They responded to our wishes for the children.“

“Cozy place, funny and friendly staff, good and homemade food, good starters and the veal was also good, lots of dessert, great sangria! A special note for the waiter Sale, very helpful and funny, a Pakistani who shows many Portuguese people how to serve the table, the manager was also super attentive, he went to get a high quality Portuguese limoncello which made the already pleasant dinner super fantastic! After
Hearing so much I went and we liked it, I recommend it! Good experience (very good decoration)“

“My Portuguese business partners recommended this restaurant for our dinner tonight. We took an Uber, which initially brought us to the original location. However, we were dining at the newer restaurant next door, which has updated decorations and a cleaner look. We were seated on the second level in a semi-private dining room without a door.

We ordered a variety of special croquettes with fish, crab, and shrimp fillings, which are unique local Portuguese dishes. The Spanish jamon was delicious. We also ordered crab, but the roe had been removed and blended with spices into a paste, served on biscuits. This tasted average, as the crab flavor was not very prominent.

One of the special crustacean dishes we tried was Acorn Barnacle (Cracas), a cousin of the goose barnacle. Harvesting these barnacles is dangerous since they cling to rocks, but they are considered a delicacy. Although they look unappealing, they taste incredibly delicious.

We also shared steamed scallops, which were tasty. For the main course, we had grilled giant corvina, freshly caught. The fish was prepared in two ways: the roe was cooked with herbs and could be spread on bread or eaten on its own, while the rest of the fish was fried and served with lemon sauce, making it very flavorful. The dish came with sides like boiled special vegetables and rice, which had a strong taste that might not be to everyone's liking.

For dessert, we enjoyed a good spread, including a half-cooked sponge cake with egg yolk and sugar inside, which was a bit too rich for me. We also had cheesecake and chocolate lava cake. A word of caution when ordering port: ask for the price beforehand. The port we had was quite expensive per glass, equivalent to the price of a whole bottle at the airport!

The semi-private room provided a good ambiance for business discussions, but unfortunately, a group of families with many children running, dancing, and shouting around made the dining experience very unpleasant.“

“I feel at home. The hosts are amazing, the food is great and the environment is conducive to meeting people and having fun! The games cave is impressive, it really has everything! I adore! ?

Kid-friendliness: My daughter loves it! They offer lots of games for the family!“

“Illustrious restaurant, with a rating of 5 in the entire evaluation. I recommend Cod or Segoviano Piglet, which has a maximum gestation period of 20 or 21 days. Until then, he was fed with his mother's milk. In which it is carved with a plate, which demonstrates its real size and its young age...
However, you must make an appointment, both for Leitão and for your meal at Julinha...! I loved .“
