Portuguese Restaurants near Friastelas, PT

“Taberna Pimenta is now very high on our list of traditional Portuguese restaurants to visit when in the Vila Verde, Braga area. We chose to dine al fresco and were absolutely delighted!!! Taberna Pimenta is set in a small, quaint village surrounded by lovely greenery and rolling hills and fresh country air. From the presunto, olives and country-style corn bread to the grilled codfish dish to the fried pork cubes and "bolachos" accompanied by their in- house vinho verde: so fresh, so delicious!!! The service provided to us was absolutely exceptional!!! Make sure to call ahead and make a reservation. We cannot wait to return!!!“

“We booked an outside table for our 1st night dinner in Pte de Lima with our friends. 8 of us really enjoyed all the food - excellent quality & great service from the guys here. The wine was also very good value & great quality. Just back from the main square - which probably makes it better value..“

“The food is very good!
For those who like to experience different gastronomic cultures (flavors and seasonings) it is undoubtedly an option in Ponte de Lima.
Coalho cheese, for those who like it, there is one very close to us!
Fried and cooked cassava. I like both although the cooked one is my favorite.
The main dishes were very good.
Mushroom risotto with black pork feathers!
Empty steak with melted cheese and crispy fries.
Romeo and Juliet pudding dessert (with guava paste).
I recommend it to try different flavors and combinations of flavors.
Congratulations“

“Food and service were great! Generous, hearty portions. Mushrooms and prawns were excellent starters. Steak and fish were excellent. Great for big groups. We were 11 and had a cozy set up. We had a couple of vegetarians in the group - menu is not vegetarian friendly but our server made a plan! Fairly good value for money.“

“An authentic gastronomic treasure hidden in the city of Braga!
Very well maintained rustic house. The menu is very varied, with obvious emphasis on the different ways of serving cod. We chose the same one wrapped in puff pastry, and I guarantee it was the most divine cod I've eaten outside of home in a long time! Only by trying it will you be sure of what I say. Even the cod fritters for starters are a positive surprise as they contain more fish (very tasty!) than potatoes.
Please note that the famous Papas de Sarrabulho are only made in winter, so don't be mistaken! There are Rojões, and the homemade desserts are worth a look... and taste. How wonderful!
The exemplary welcome from Mr. Rolando, who manages the space with his sister, is to be commended. Whether in the food advice or in the two conversations that we pleasantly maintained.
I strongly recommend a visit to this house with excellent homemade food and prices in line with what is served to us. My sincere congratulations!

Parking: There is no possibility of parking on the street. Only nearby.“

“We eat very well.
Except the slightly overwhelmed table service.
Too much focus on existing customers and less on new customers.
My food is very good. THANKS

Parking: If parking plan rather it is parked in the street after going up to the church. We normally find.“

“Amazing place! Just like the previous one in Apúlia, this restaurant is just amazing! Wonderful service, marvellous and tasty food… you just go and don’t want to leave! When leaving you need to return! I will return again and again and again!!!!!!!!

Parking: Just can’t park by the restaurant! Need to park around 200m away! Not bad on summer but not good in winter!!!!“

“The restaurant is beautiful and the waitress was very friendly and attentive to us. Our daughter enjoyed her cheeseburger kids menu and we were blown away by the grilled entrecôte and grilled Dorada. We knew it would be good, but we were in for a surprise because it was wonderful!!! We even thanked the cook for preparing us a great dinner. I just want to give them 10 stars⭐️

Kid-friendliness: Splendid kids menu?“

“We stopped at this restaurant on the way to Santiago de Compostela by chance and were amazed.The menu is very varied, from starters to fish and meat dishes and even desserts. I can't even tell you about the flavor... I'm a fan of beef and for me it has to be at that point that few can reach... I was at that point! The chicken was also great and the dessert was really good.The decor is sober, very clean and tasteful, I didn't think I would find such professionalism in such young people, they are all young but they already know the value of good work.As for the price, which is what interests a lot of people, I honestly thought it would be more expensive, it was affordable.We will definitely return!“

“Restaurant away from the tourist area (near Carrefour) that you must specifically go to. We hadn't booked and we had to wait but I assure you it was worth it. The dishes do not detract from the name of the restaurant at all. The winery is very acceptable. It is worth going away a little to visit, but remember to book.“

“We discovered this place by chance. We were the only ones in this quality restaurant and we were received like kings. The dishes on the menu are quite classic but prepared in an original way. The result is delicious. The chef and waitress were lovely. Good tips for wine. The icing on the cake, the waitress offered to take care of our baby when we ate. I highly recommend.“

“A very nice place!
Friendliness and professionalism in service.
Great cod pataniscas starter, dry and crunchy.
Next, the roast pork shank that was suggested to us didn't shine nor managed to pass an average rating. Meat that was not very soft, suggesting a short roasting time, with almost no crunchiness, was not captivating.
The final pineapple and panacotta were quality.
Plenty of parking spaces.“

“I recommend this traditional restaurant where vegetarians are welcome, we were surprised by a well served and complete dish. So the world moves forward and forward, if we return to Ponte de Lima this is our preference. Thank you for making a difference.

Vegetarian options: Dish very well served with rice, French fries, mashed potatoes, cabbage and green beans, black-eyed peas and tomatoes, a complete and tasty dish, I recommend it.“

“Not to mention, we ended up stopping in Viana and did a quick search for dinner. Without high expectations, we stopped at this restaurant because we wanted something quick! We ordered the traditional beef burger and how wonderful it was, it comes with potatoes! ? Note that the meals here take care when preparing them and the ingredients are of quality! A pleasant surprise and who knows, maybe one day I'll be in those parts again and try the pizzas that are only available on the weekends.“

“I went to have dinner with some friends and two dogs, it was the only dog friendly place in all of Barcelos that was open at this moment. The food was good and the service very good. As a dog owner, I support all the businesses where my dog is welcome.“

“An experience to repeat without a doubt!Fantastic food, nothing industrialized, everything delicious and homemade, tender meat, desserts from the Gods.It is worth highlighting the very professional service provided by Angela, professional and friendly??“

“As I indicated with the rating, it is the first time but the truth is it is truly wonderful, I went without a reservation but the truth is that there were still people waiting very quickly when it came to giving you a table, and the treatment was rated with stars. I recommend it.“

“Superb experience for our group of 12 people. Booked and ate upstairs. We tried most dishes on the menu and loved them all. Especially the beef with apple sauce and the pork dishes. Outstanding service from the waitress who spoke also perfect English. Could not have been better..“

“Very good address. We had lunch there as a family. I particularly recommend the beef with "tres Pimentos". The portions are very generous. Beautifully decorated restaurant, professional service, pleasant atmosphere and impeccable toilets. To do again.“

“Beautiful place with ambient music, very good food and incredible service, we told them about eating on the terrace because we have a dog and they gave us a table inside the establishment at the entrance (putting a bowl of water for it) we will “

“I had dinner there alone while doing the Camino de Santiago. The waiter was extremely friendly and helped with the menu, since I do not speak Portoguese. The food was beyond delicious, and the portions were so large I could not even finish. Perfect experience after a day full of walking.“

“Friendly and welcoming place. Excellent service. I had bread for starters (freshly cooked) and olives that were very well seasoned, francesinha which is of very good quality and was very good and a delicious homemade strawberry cheesecake dessert. Personally, the only bad note has to do with the francesinha sauce since I'm used to the Belgian one and it's a little different. But tastes can't be discussed, my wife really liked it, so there's nothing like trying it ?
Definitely coming back...“

“The chicken wings are really good! It is in a very beautiful location close to the river and has a terrace with a view. The owner is very friendly!

Parking: When there are no seats outside, there are plenty along the street. There is also a free car park on the riverbank.“

“The portions are very large, even asking for half. I ordered bacallao or escondidinho and it was delicious. But I do have to say that the thin part was drier and toasted and I didn't like it, they do it all together and it is drier. But I would repeat.“

“Dieser Laden hat einen tollen Mitarbeiter oder vielleicht war er sogar der Chef selbst. Er hat den erschöpften Pilgern, die auf die Öffnung der Herberge gegenüber warteten, einfach so ein Getränk zur Erfrischung gebracht! Und ich hatte meine Trinkflasche an der Bank stehen lassen und war schon verzweifelt, doch er hatte sie gesehen und sicher verwahrt. So ein wunderbarer und freundlicher Mensch ! Vielen Dank“

“Terra Mar dish very well served. Loaf of garlic veal, octopus and tiger prawns of good quality and well prepared. With good image and layout on the plate. Liking the meat more enhances the quality of the meat to the touch and flavor.
Good atmosphere, beautiful and friendly employees. I recommend!“

“I had a great experience at Taberna o Manhoso!The beef medallions we chose were simply delicious, juicy and well prepared. The service was impeccable, with friendly and helpful staff, providing a welcoming atmosphere.I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a combination of great food and quality service.To be repeated on a next visit to the region.“

“Visiting Ponte de Lima, which highlights the quality of service combined with gastronomic quality. An excellent wine cellar that brings the best the region has to offer. Fabulous

Parking: Easily parked around the restaurant“

“Ideal for a family Sunday lunch.A place full of good traditional Portuguese food. If you want to have a family lunch, in a space with a good quality/price ratio, family service, and extremely well-served portions, this is the place to go.The space is large and well-illuminated and also has free Wi-Fi. There is plenty of parking underneath the restaurant and to the rear. If you want to book, there is that possibility.One of the best restaurants in this region.“

“Homemade, tasty food and a family atmosphere. The cabbage soup was divine. We had lunch on a weekday and chose the restaurant by chance. Small and welcoming, it reminded me of the nostalgic taverns, which were on the verge of extinction. Excellent for those who want a quick meal and homemade food.“

“Magnificent piece of tender and very tasty prawn meat with magnificent garlic with a waoooouuuu saucewelcoming fireplace very pleasant at this time food all homemade to the minute homemade fries the best

Parking: Parking at the restaurant“

“We were looking for a place away from the tourist center and where the people of Ponte de Lima went to eat. And we found this place. A jewel!!! Good food, good prices and a waitress who served us as if we were in the bar downstairs at home: fast, efficient, friendly... THANK YOU!Stop posturing tourist rolls and go to places like this. It's where the real essence is!“

“A typical friendly restaurant in a small alley in Ponte de Lima
A delicious cod cooked in a tile-shaped dish served with onions and small potatoes
A traditional caramelized pudding accompanied by slices of pineapple, a real delight
A good price-performance ratio
A nice welcome
Let's stay local and authentic
Small downside, a little too much sugar in the dessert
Well done“

“For those who like traditional food, there is nothing better than the Belchior café-snack-bar restaurant, very affordable prices and good service. You can also take the opportunity to visit the surrounding area and get to know a little of the local culture.“

“If you are looking for an unforgettable gastronomic experience, the restaurant “o Retiro” is the perfect choice!?️
✨ Fantastic homemade food. Each dish is a journey into traditional flavors, prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I highlight the cod with cornbread and the incredible rabanada, simply divine!
A welcoming atmosphere, from the charming decor to the warm service, makes us feel at home. Ideal for a relaxing meal with friends or family.

I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable meal and gastronomic experience.“

“I just left this restaurant, I'm from Aveiro and I haven't had good homemade fries and excellent rice in a restaurant for many years.. with that I'm not even going to talk about the meat, 100 stars overall.. excellent, efficient service.. very, very top. ..thanks“

“Restaurant that I have known for years
where you will find the famous dish of ponté de lima, arroz de sarrabulho.
I also recommend bacalhau,
My favorite is o bacalhau da casa.
I also recommend them for events like birthdays, baptisms, etc.“

“(Translated by Google) The service was very good by India Oliveira and the Bacalhau and the pudding was spectacular.I became a customer.A hug.Victor Luz(Original)O atendimento foi muito bom pela Índia Oliveira e o Bacalhau e o pudim estava espectacular.Fiquei cliente.Um abraço.Victor Luz“

“For 2 people, you can eat well and for only 30 euros, I love authentic francesinha, almost the same as the Belgian one.
The fries are rustic and the normal ones are good.
You have a few drinks to choose from, more juices and beers, good francesinha, but it's always better to say if you want it well done when ordering, as the francesinha is always rare“

“After an exciting day of boating all day and having a lot of fun, nothing beats a little meat on a skewer to fill your stomach, not in the physical sense but in a figurative sense as the meat doesn't come in much abundance but it's delicious. that can't be denied with its bread do caco with herbs and olive oil and its very delicious fried corn is approved“

“Everything was great, the food was very very good, with a very traditional and homemade flavor, and the special attention. The waiters were very friendly and especially the one who served us, very quickly and efficiently with a place full for the holidays. Highly recommended ?“

“I had lunch twice in this restaurant during my trip to Porto. The atmosphere is pleasant.At lunch hour it gets more hustle, however, the happy staff is focused and all ends up well. The francesinha may be the more famous dish. It is very tasty and perfect! I cannot compare because that was the restaurant recommended. It is very worthy“

“One of the oldest family restaurants in Ponte de Lima, you eat the best cabrito assado no forno, be sure to mark your table when you arrive or risk seeing your turn pass due to a lot of crowds.

Parking: Ample free public parking along the banks of the river.“

“This restaurant is a must for anyone who loves and appreciates good, freshly prepared food. Not only is the palate spoiled here, but the eyes also enjoy it. Rarely have such exceptionally prepared and presented dishes been preserved/seen in Portugal and, above all, of this quality. The service from the owner Manuel and his daughter Márcia cannot be beat.
The ambience on the spacious and covered terrace, which is decorated with lots of green and flowering plants, as well as inside the restaurant make you want to linger in this place and just enjoy everything.
All you can say about the price/performance ratio is: TOP!! We've been on vacation for a week and have already been there 5 times, including with someone.“

“(Translated by Google) Very good, every time I ate there I enjoyed myself, the owners and the staff are super friendly, a good atmosphere, I recommend ????(Original)Très bien, chaque fois que j y ai mangé je me suis régalée, les patrons et le personnel sont super sympa, une bonne ambiance, je recommande ????“

“The best place in the Braga area to eat suckling pig. Well toasted and crispy, divine sauce.Both to eat on site and to bring home. 1 dose/2 people. Reasonable accuracy, quality/quantity ratio.I recommend booking, both to eat there and to take away.“

“At a dinner with friends, we stayed in a separate room. After everyone ordered their dishes, around 20 people, the wait for the dishes was slightly long. However, the burger was wonderful. The meat was perfectly cooked, with excellent thickness, and well grilled, still releasing the fluids that made the burger very good. Well accompanied, and the other guests gave good feedback on their dishes.“
