Parking: Parking by the river, was very full when we were there”

“The atmosphere is absolutely fire! When I first came to this bar I was pleasantly surprised by the unusual exterior, everything was simple and original. And the hamburgers in general are just the bomb, I’ve never eaten such a huge and tasty one! In the summer on weekends, live music. The owner of this establishment, Carlos, is a pleasant and sociable person. Sometimes he organizes a private dinner for friends. You can talk to him on any topic, and if you need help, he will help.”

“This is a restaurant I stopped at about 10 minutes away from the pilgrimage route.
For breakfast, I had a ham & cheese sandwich, carbonated orange juice, and cafe latte. I was surprised at how delicious the sandwich was! It was a thick and soft bread that I tried during my trip to Japan. Seeing similar ham and cheese sandwiches being so delicious everywhere I go, I'm really curious about other meal options. Seeing that a lot of local residents come here, it seems to be a local restaurant.”

“Nice cafeteria with a small terrace at the entrance of the town. Very friendly and professional. Wide variety of sweet and savory cakes. Also local specialities. Perfect for a stop during a walk in the area.”

The black pasta is amazing, as is the fresh pasta. The luxury service and the abundant amount of food. If you can, try the melon with ham and toast from this place.”

“We hope to return to learn more. The experience was short, but very welcoming. We were very kindly welcomed for a snack, just before closing time. Great meat ball and excellent mille-feuille cake.”

“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”

“I like Portugal because of the good food and thoughtful staff.
There was so much food that we took out half of the food, and the process was smooth even though English wasn't very good.
I understand why the rating is 4.9.”

“If you go through Apulia, this is the place to stop! Super Burger and the bife do diretor with its mustard sauce is amazing. Excellent service…great experience”

“Nice and friendly owner who spoke passionately about their place and the decor. He prepared a tasty meal with love and care that we enjoyed after a long walk in the Camino. We also savoured their almond cake which is the speciality of this region. Thanks for your great service and hospitality.”

“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.”

“I recommend +++
Very good restaurant and very affordable. The staff is very cheerful and friendly, especially since we have young children.
We will come back”

“The unbeatable service. The exquisite food. The perfect room temperature. They were full of attention; very attentive but without overwhelming. The sea bass was exquisite, with golden potatoes but less done inside. Without a doubt a reference to take into account. BBB.”

“Normally we do vegan Pizza at home because many restaurants lack of putting flavors and effort into vegan pizza. But not this place!!! The pizza with pistachios was one of the best I ever had. They sell the vegan Pistachio Pesto, also the very delicious olive oil. I couldn’t resist, I had to buy both for home. Would recommend this place to every vegan!! Would give 5stars, if possible to non-totally-vegan places! Updated from previous review on 2025-06-08”

“Fantastic restaurant, well decorated, ambient music at the ideal volume and sushi of immense quality. Experience to repeat, without a doubt.

Parking: Difficult to park on the street (I'm not sure if there is a caliper or not). Paid parking near the restaurant.”

“Great place to eat well and cheaply. Neat kitchen without pretensions.
Spectacular fish.
The service is very correct and the environment, like the entire area, is a luxury.
We ate on the terrace.
Sea bream on the back with two different garnishes for two people, 35 euros”

“This place is cool, the lady was amazing. She made me a mocha, because I don't drink coffee normally and the Brazilian cake was delicious. Definitely worth trying if you are in the area.”

“We were unsure about eating there because when we came in it was empty. We decided to stay, and I’m glad we did it! We were hungry and the place is right on the Caminho! We ordered the Hamburger Completo, the nice lady attending us explained how they are prepared, and it was delicious!!! The beverage was cold, the food was perfect, and the service was great! Don’t doubt because it may be empty at certain times of the day, go for it! You will not regret! 5 stars, no doubt!!”

“Wonderful restaurant in all respects. Our dinner was fantastic and service was delightful. Nice environment and within walking distance to Praia da Rocha. Highly recommend.”

“A great Italian restaurant in Lisbon, we saw it by chance and decide to try it, great staff, they speak English and Spanish. Tried the pasta and pizza and it was really good, right serving size and good drinks in the menu. Definitely will come back to try other plates.”

“This space is a true gem for those who appreciate a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, ideally located close to the beach. Its varied meal offer is great for those who want to escape the typical meals of traditional restaurants, perfect for those looking for a tasty, unhurried experience, whether for breakfast, lunch or a snack. The atmosphere is pleasant, with decor that invites relaxation, and the service is always attentive and friendly, ensuring that we feel welcome. The perfect balance between good food, excellent service and a privileged location by the sea.”

“Exceptional Francesinha, very well served. French speaking waiters. €9.80 with drink, with free fries, UNBEATABLE value for money. Go to Póvoa to eat better than in Porto.”

“This was our first take away from the outlet. There is sitting space in the restaurant but we wanted to take away to our house. Pizza size is good and prices reasonable. The service is fast and pizza is ready in about 10 minutes for take away. Next time we will try dine in to avoid pizza getting cold.

Vegetarian options: Few vegetarian pizza are on the menu.”
