“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!“

“Exemplary restaurant, calm with super service and friendliness, always super attentive, at dinner with friends we had, my son with gluten intolerance had advice and support throughout the dinner, as well as some surprises from the chef , excellent, I recommend it and will repeat it.“

“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!“

“S. Gião in Guimarães is a culinary masterpiece! This exceptional restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. The pasta with shrimps was cooked to perfection, with succulent shrimp and a flavorful sauce. The tiramisu was creamy and divine, and the mushrooms were tender and expertly prepared. But the real surprise was the Smashed Eggs in appetizers - a game-changer!

Every single dish was top-notch, with fresh ingredients, precise technique, and presentation that was almost too beautiful to eat. Almost.

The service was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home.

S. Gião is a must-visit for anyone in Guimarães looking for an exceptional dining experience. Don't miss out on their outstanding pasta, tiramisu, mushrooms, and Smashed Eggs - your taste buds will thank you!

Highly recommend S. Gião for a truly unforgettable meal in Guimarães. Book your table now and get ready for a culinary journey!“

“A house with careful and innovative preparation and a chef who is always available and concerned about his customers.I distinctly remember, the first time I went to have lunch at Oak, thinking that this space was unusual in the city of Paredes, and it almost seemed like it had come out of Porto. More than a year later, I am very happy to see that the Chef Vítor and Clara project is growing every day.The desserts, almost always made by Clara, are just to use the cliché of "eat and cry for more", with apple pie as the star of the menu.A clear choice with a practical and welcoming environment during the day and intimate at night.“

“After all, Saints in the house perform miracles. Being from Areias, I had been wanting to try Madeira Taste for months. It was missing! From the bolo do caco, to the cod to the kebabs, everything is great! The poncha is fabulous... Diverse menu with all the flavor of Madeira! Areias (or Além Rio) and Santo Tirso came out on top...to repeat! Several times...“

“It is not easy to find words to describe the friendliness and professionalism of the entire staff. They were impeccable, attentive and always concerned that the experience was perfect. You can see that the good disposition and friendliness here are genuine. The food is fantastic, made to order and you don't have to wait long with a varied menu to suit all tastes. Without a doubt, you have raised the bar quite high. Congratulations and see you soon.
Ps. Thank you for keeping my wife's cell phone. ?“

“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 ??.“

“Nice restaurant in the historic square. Staff was very friendly and helpful; service is quick, and the food was delicious and offered good value. We ate steak and cod and both of them were well cooked and tasty. Definitely deserves the high ratings :)“

“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“

“Very pleasant surprise with this restaurant. We ordered rojões and feijoada from Trás-os-Montes as the menu of the day, served with caldo verde, regional bread and house wine, of excellent quality, for just €6.5!
The staff were very attentive and quick.
Relaxed atmosphere in the historic center of Guimarães.
Congratulations to you ?????“

“(Translated by Google) Pleasant space. Very good food for the price. Points less favorable to the delay of the service and also the facilities that need to be renovated, in particular the bathrooms. Other than that very good.(Original)Espaço agradável. Comida muito boa relativamente ao preço. Pontos menos favoráveis à demora do serviço e também as instalações a necessitar de serem renovadas, em especial as casas de banho. Fora isso muito bom.“

“The meal was served on the patio shaded by the vineyard laden with Vinho Verde. We drank a Vinho Verde variety inside out (it was the first time I tried this variety in a white Vinho Verde aged 6 years and aged in barrels for 1 year), a pleasant surprise. We ate octopus fillets and Gerês meat with bean rice. For dessert, a freshly made cream milk. I recommend. Impeccable service. The price of the dishes was a little exaggerated. €24 for each half dose,“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent homemade food and impeccable service, in a family atmosphere. The outdoor space is very beautiful and has free parking. It's worth every penny.

Parking: In private area. I don't know exactly the maximum number of seats, but maybe around 30 seats.“

“We visited this restaurant during Feira Afonsina and so the menu was limited to a few dishes. As a suggestion, we ate “Porcalhada”, an original dish from this place. We really enjoyed the experience! Very welcoming and affordable restaurant.“

“We love the Solar do Arco restaurant. For me, one of the best in Guimarães.We liked the service and the environment.But, without a doubt, the food is delicious. It even surprised us. Very well served portions and very reasonable prices, especially given the location within the historic center. The cod and fillet were very good. Good and cheap wine.I recommend!“

“An enchanted place, you can really feel the thoughtfulness and love of the place which flows into this space, the creatively arranged food and the atmosphere. We spend a wonderful evening with professional and super friendly service here and highly recommend it. As vegan and gluten intolerant person its a wonderful choice.“

“Lovely little place upstairs. The ceilings are really high so it makes it feel big which was great. Great music. The host was friendly and the food was beautiful! We had the Veal and a risotto special. The risotto was delicious but a little rich. Would certainly recommend.“

“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.“

“Best restaurant in the north.I've known the family that created and runs the restaurant since I was born and I like to say that it feels like home.Starting with a rich range of starters: which bring tradition while introducing originality, from broken eggs to a roe stew.The main dishes: a homemade lamb and sea bass rice are the showcase for a menu that can't be missed.The best: the service, starting with Jorge (owner and face of the restaurant) and ending with his mother who brings the best homemade food to the table.Anyone who is lucky enough and has the pleasure of visiting here will easily return.“

“Very tasty and good looking food
We ordered steak and grilled cod and everything was great.
For dessert we ordered fruit salad, biscuit cake and cream from heaven and they were also equally good.
The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is very welcoming.“

“Simply divine! Whether fish or meat, whenever I ordered a meal I was extremely well served with above average quality, from starters to dessert. The presentation of the restaurant is quite nice and clean. The price is right for the quality presented. I strongly recommend it and I have been going to this restaurant for a few years and the quality has been maintained with each visit...“

“It must be the best restaurant in the region in my opinion. Both the food and the atmosphere and the best I've eaten to date. I've known the house for over 25 years and I can assure you that there are no surprises. Safe value. I recommend it to everyone.“

“(Translated by Google) I loved! I've eaten on a daily basis and ordering à la carte, in both it was very well served. I recommend!!(Original)Adorei! Já comi em regime de diárias e a pedir à carta, em ambos foi muito bem servida. Recomendo!!“

“We went to watch a game at the football stadium, the restaurant is quite close to it. They treated us like at home, each and every one of them was very friendly, and the food was spectacular, typical Portuguese food. If we have the possibility of returning to Vila das Aves we will go to eat at Taberna do 7.“

“Pleasant restaurant featuring a diverse menu, including vegetarian dishes. I chose the picanha accompanied by beans and greens, while the others opted for octopus and duck. Portions are generous and well presented. As the night was pleasant, we reserved a table outside.“

“(Translated by Google) Whenever I think I want to eat something really sweet, I know right away where I have to go, to ArteCafé! It has a wide variety of products and cutting-edge offers!!!(Original)Sempre que penso que quero comer algo bem doçinho sei logo onde tenho de ir, ao ArteCafé! Tem uma grande variedade de produtos e ofertas de última geração!!!“

“Space although small, very clean and cozy atmosphere. Very friendly service, just a little slow in service due to being full of people. We ordered 2 pizzas and they were great! Very good, the only correction would be for the craft beers menu with prices a little above the average of the local competition.“

“We have travelled many places in Portugal, but I've never had so well prepared octopus ("Lagareiro Style") ❤️❤️❤️! Absolutely gorgeous! Highest recommendation?. Also prawns and beef were very good. Staff was very friendly and the scenery awesome.“

“Our 6th time here, a favorite restaurant with excellent and consistent Portuguese/European inspired food, service and experience. Best couverts, entradas and several fish and meat entres, each fresh, beautiful prepared and delicious. Incredible homemade desserts.

“(Translated by Google) A great place for a quick meal with Prato do dia for €8, with soup, bread, drink and coffee included. The space is big.The service was impeccable, the staff was quick.I recommend.(Original)Um ótimo local para refeição rápida com Prato do dia por 8€, com sopa, pão bebida e café incluído. O espaço é grande.O serviço foi impecável, staff rápido.Recomendo.“

“These are the kind of restaurants we love: Slightly old-fashioned, stylish, excellent quality food & with kind service to match. Carvalho is close to the thermal bath facilities, and the clientele is mostly on the north side of their 50ties, dressed nicely to go out to a quality establishment and determined to enjoy themselves in typical understated Portuguese and French style (no touristy boorish excesses here!!). The key waiting staff were a pleasure to see in action, they orchestrated the dining room to perfection. The female waitress with a hint of Father Ted's Mrs Doyle, but only in as far as her maternal slightly conspiratorial smile towards her clientele reminded us of her. The food was marvellous, good quality, tasty, traditional fare. The wine was excellent. The cooked pear in red wine in particular fine desert, we don't see it enough on menus these days - my husband nabbed the last one!“

“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“

“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.“

“On the recommendation of our guide, we had lunch here to try their local specialties. Our group of four adults shared a charcuterie board with dried pork sausages and cheeses from Terceira, São Jorge and Pico; Alcatra (braised beef in spices); fried hake; local Donatario white wine; and Dona Amelia cake (a cornmeal-based gingerbread). Everything was fantastic, especially the beef and the cake (both Terceira specialties).“

“Very pleasant atmosphere, unusual decor, attentive, friendly and attentive staff, excellent food. It's worth the visit to taste its delicacies. One "small drawback": for those with motor difficulties, the dining room is on the 1st floor...

Parking: In the street.

Wheelchair accessibility: No.“
