“Very nice experience
The dishes are carefully prepared in a very pleasant setting.
Special mention for cooking fish and meat but particularly octopus
I have eaten in very large restaurants for my work for 15 years, notably in Dubai, Miami etc. I have rarely encountered such quality of cooking on seafood
A great discovery, I would come back with my eyes closed
All the best“
“(Translated by Google) Good traditional dishes. The specialty of the house is veal roasted in a wood-fired oven. It is worth it.....(Original)Bons pratos tradicionais. A especialidade da casa é a vitela assada em forno a lenha. Vale a pena.....“

“A hidden gem tucked away in Guimarães, with the most beautiful little terrace to soak up the sunshine.
The restaurant is trendy and modern with gorgeous interiors. The staff are so friendly and the food was AMAZING!! We had their set lunch menu and the shrimp tacos were unreal. Highly recommend visiting and hoping we can squeeze in another visit before we fly home!“

“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!“

“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 ??.“

“Very nice place to dine, they even gave us a choice of terrace or inside, the staff paying attention to all the details all the time. Unbeatable treatment.
All the dishes we ordered (rice, sea bass and cod) were on point, tasty and very well presented.
In short, perfect quality-quantity-price ratio.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Quinta da Lama, a former olive oil mill that has been transformed into a delightful restaurant. The place exudes a cozy and rustic charm, with clay pots and vintage stone adorning the dining room.The menu offers a wide range of dishes, from traditional Portuguese cuisine to Mediterranean and European influences. I opted for the “posta à lagar”, a succulent tenderloin steak cooked in olive oil and garlic, and the cod with cornbread, a classic Portuguese dish that was moist and flavorful. Both dishes were exquisite and prepared with fresh and quality ingredients. The salads and bread were also very good.For dessert, I indulged in the “leite creme”, a creamy custard with a caramelized crust. It was heavenly, one of the best I ever had. I also enjoyed the house wine, a local red wine that complemented the food perfectly.The service was impeccable and attentive, and the prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. I had a splendid time at Quinta da Lama and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and satisfying dining experience in Amarante.“
“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.“

“Tasca with a good atmosphere, always with fado music at a very pleasant volume, very friendly service and attentive to customer needs. As for food, for those who like tapas this is the best place to eat, worth every euro spent. Very tasty food, excellent quality, excellent prices for the quality it offers. Without a doubt, it is one of the best restaurants in Felgueiras for tapas. This is the second time I've been there and I will definitely go back. The prices range from €15 to €30 (although I entered 20-25), as it will always depend on the amount of food you order, the first time I paid €31, the second time I paid €19.. The dish What I recommend trying are the nails in the bread that are in the photo, you will certainly like them.
Parking: Sometimes you can find parking in front of the restaurant's door, sometimes you have to leave it a little further away but only 100m away, until it's quite close.“

“I rarely say that a restaurant is really 5 stars, but this really is one of them.
The atmosphere inside the restaurant leaves something to be desired, so we sat outside, which is beautiful. We were served with great friendliness, the food was EXCEPTIONAL (ask for the cover charge, the butter is made there!), the passion fruit, mango and orange sangria was one of the best I've ever had. The tiramisu is also homemade and delicious. Experience to repeat, without a shadow of a doubt“

“A great experience! Friendly atmosphere, helpful staff and very good food.
We ordered garlic bread with cheese (starter), cod puff pastry and a vimaranes francesinha.
To finish, we tried the Dona Maria sweet, an excellent combination of chocolate mousse with camel baba, biscuits and cream.
Without a doubt, I will repeat it when I return to Guimarães.“

“We stumbled upon this restaurant through the good reviews it has on Tripadvisor. And it lived up to every single one of them! The food is great. We ordered some different dishes to share and everything was really tasty. Our favorites were the pork cheek, polvo, shiitake and the smoked chorizo. Also, the staff is amazing. They had great recommendations, were super friendly and made sure we had a good time. We had the privilege to go there twice and it was a pleasure. From the outside it may look a bit unassuming but don’t let that fool you. Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.“
“Simply divine! Whether fish or meat, whenever I ordered a meal I was extremely well served with above average quality, from starters to dessert.

“Another good meal for less than €7.
I asked to sit down and was told to choose where I wanted. When I sat next to the window with a beautiful view, they asked me to leave as it was reserved. No stress! I got up and a friendly Portuguese couple, of advanced age, invited me to sit at the table and we had a good conversation. The Trás-os-Montes feijoada was very good.“

“So special place. Low key, not on Main Street, but worth to try and enjoy a fresh fish. Opens for dinner at 6:30pm. Side door on the right side leads to the upper level. Ambiance is typical for the island, homey and bright. Service is friendly and very efficient, exactly what we expected. Food was exemplary. Everything what we ordered was delicious. Fish soup, grilled fishes, Alfonsim Grelhado & Boca Negra Grelhado, served with boiled potatoes and sweet potato. We loved our wine choice, Mateus “Rose”. Definitely, you will get value for money spent. Highly recommended.“
“Our 6th time here, a favorite restaurant with excellent and consistent Portuguese/European inspired food, service and experience.

“Very relaxed place with exemplary service.
I confess that I went looking for something simpler in cuisine, but I managed to appreciate the suggestions and what was served.
It ends up being a more gourmet place, but with all its merits.
From what I understand, there is no fixed menu. So it turns out to be an adventure ?
There is parking, but I, who went for the first time, didn't find it right away, I suggested bigger signs.
It was a good experience
Ps: I'm not in the habit of taking photos of dishes, so I won't add them.“
“Incredible place with a surreal view, very pleasant atmosphere with background music and super welcoming space.
The flavor of the meat I ordered was great, however, despite having ordered it rare, the meat was overcooked, nothing else to point out, from the starters to the dessert, everything was wonderful.
Vegetarian options: It not only has vegetarian options but also vegan options, but you have to let us know when you book.“
