“A restaurant with an eclectic and very complete menu. Its flavors are wonderful and it is very well plated. The waitresses made the experience incredible with their attention and kindness. If you pass by, you can't always eat in a castle.“

Everything perfect, exquisite service and food, excellent quality/price ratio.
I would return without hesitation, it is a unique, unique and highly recommended place.“

“Nice and well decorated place. The food is very delicious although some starters are somewhat scarce in relation to the price. The excellent picaña. The only problem was the terrible attention of the gray-haired lady. Fortunately the rest of the staff made up for their rudeness.“

From the elegance of the decor to the meticulous preparation of the dishes, every detail is designed to delight the most demanding customers. The meat cuts are masterfully presented by Chef Sérgio Gonçalves, resulting in an explosion of flavors, while the wine list perfectly complements each meal. The service is carried out with immense professionalism and attention by the team, completing the refined and welcoming atmosphere of the restaurant. In short, Gula Steakhouse is a true gastronomic temple, where each visit is a celebration of the best that cuisine has to offer. I recommend!! ?“

“We loved the food, we had the executive menu. The super nice people. The only downside is that it took a long time between courses. They apologized, but that doesn't mean I have to stop commenting on it (more than 20 minutes)

Parking: on the street“

“The decor, ambience is extra ordinary. What a feast to the eyes. All features restored tastefully to the period. A gem of a place to dine. Food was very good too. Staff were very attentive to our needs. The owner even took time out and showed us around. Very impressed with what she had achieved. Perfect for weddings and functions. It definitely will not disappoint.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Very varied tapas with vegetarian options always accompanied by a good selection of wines and sangria. Menu with good dishes for those who don't want tapas, such as: cod, octopus and sliced ​​meat.
I recommend a "pajamas" for dessert!
Friendly and attentive staff!“

“Cozy atmosphere, very pleasant sea view and I don't think they take advantage of the location to charge high prices, like other restaurants do. Very good monkfish rice, but in my opinion a little too salty and with a Knorr flavor. There was nothing lost in reducing the salt. However, in my group not everyone thought this. I also ate fried cuttlefish with cuttlefish ink. In my opinion, the name of the menu is misleading. For me, it's stewed, sautéed cuttlefish, anything but fried. In the Algarve there is a dish of fried cuttlefish with ink, I thought I had ordered that, and then it had nothing to do with it. Or at least the employees should explain that it is stewed when the customer asks. We were disappointed that it wasn't what we expected. But it was good. A good restaurant. The meat looked divine, it's for a next visit. I recommend the visit“

“Our group of four ate lunch here after meeting Américo and Maria the day before, when they were closed but invited us in to talk about their gluten-free meal options for our one member with a celiac condition. We all had fish dishes that were, quite simply, remarkable. The fish was prepared very well and Maria served us at the table. The potatoes that accompanied the meal were also prepared perfectly. The atmosphere was homelike and we were all very-warmly received. We definitely recommend and will return!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options to accommodate a celiac condition.“

“A great surprise at the Terra Ó Mar restaurant! I went for the first time with a friend and I was delighted with the homemade seafood rice. I returned again with other people, both family and professional, and I can see | we have proven that this dish has excellent quality versus quantity. It was accompanied with a top of the house sparkling wine. I recommend you try it! You won't regret it. PS I appreciate the always friendly and welcoming way you welcome customers. Thanks.“

“This was by far our best restaurant in the north of Portugal. With the choice of 4 fixed course choices or a la carte everyone can be satisfied. Small restaurant (4 tables) guaranteed personal attention. We felt as though we had a personal chef at Antonio’s house!! Perfected menu paired perfectly with wine and port. We have eaten at many world renowned restaurants and Casa do Arco can hold its own. My fear is that Michelin will here of this place and a booking will be impossible. Hands down the best restaurant in Pinhao. Don’t hesitate - treat yourself!!“

“This place makes me feel like I’m in Mayfair with the amazing level of service. Food was cooked to perfection! The omelette was to die for! Honestly. Chips hand cut, and prawns some of the best I’ve ever had. The waiter Carlos was amazing. First time I didn’t need to explain what an Americano was since I’ve been in Portugal too! Lovely jazz music playing all evening, but we could still hear our food being cooked!

Kid-friendliness: Family friendly!“

“Typical restaurant with excellent cuisine and extremely helpful and friendly staff. Outside tables are available with a pleasant view of the river and sunsets.
Even though the place was full, a table was made available to us in record time and Joana was extraordinary in giving us suggestions and accompanying our dinner. The dish that most captured my taste was a nice grilled sea bass shared with my wife and it was enough to satisfy our hunger. Definitely interesting sangria. Cost around €25 per head with abundant side dishes“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent, original and innovative food while maintaining a homemade and quality character! Good price / quality, I recommend!(Original)Comida excelente, original e inovadora mantendo um carácter caseiro e de qualidade! Bom preço / qualidade, recomendo!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“(Translated by Google) A refined place, very differentiating, with very interesting and well-prepared gastronomic proposals. Acceptable price for the quality.(Original)Um lugar requintado, bastante diferenciador, com propostas gastronómicas muito interessantes e bem confeccionadas. Preço aceitável para a qualidade.“

“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“

“A very warm welcome to a classy but casual restaurant. After being seated we were shown a platter of fish caught locally that day to help us choose! Very tasty starters followed by superb fish mains and fresh veg. I could actually taste the sea in my bream. Could see the kitchen from our table - it all looked relaxed. Reasonably priced Algarve wine to accompany. After coffees we were offered complimentary glasses of port. Superb food, great staff and fantastic value especially for the quality on offer.“

“More than a decade as a customer, I recommend the service, friendliness, cleanliness, delicious food! Just a note, the price increase was a lot in one moment, losing some of the quality/price ratio, I consider that there are more options in this price range.

Kid-friendliness: Kids in general love the food and are very attentive to children.The soup is a hit with the kids.“

“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 “

“Without a doubt, I recommend the Barão restaurant! Service, simplicity, and food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Today was my son's communion and from the preparation, decoration, food and drinks everything was top notch!
The staff are attentive and approachable!
I thank and congratulate everyone.
Thank you very much ??“

“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.“

“The food is quality at an excellent price by Spanish standards. We opted for dishes recommended by a friendly waiter who explained each one to us in Spanish. We tried the roast stingray with potatoes, which was exquisite. Totally recommended, in a quiet area and away from the hustle and bustle of nearby restaurants.“

“My favorite restaurant since many years... and still every time we come back the Principe team manages to impress me and my family more & more... there is nothing on the menu we wouldn't recommend! From startes, main dishes to desserts and the best Sangria
The TEAM is very attentive and super friendly... they are simply the BEST*****“

“Kid-friendliness: Bom acolhimento a todos, especialmente às crianças que por vezes na sua inquietude motivada pelo apetite são em uma forma sã subornadas com batatas acabadas de fritar. Com isto, é normal os proprietários fazerem esta oferta sempre que avistam uma criança dentro do estabelecimento e assim tornam a sua espera, diferente e acolhedora...quanto ao serviço é variável mantendo certos "pratos" sempre. Faça a sua consulta previamente. Óptimo serviço.“

“One of the best bakeries, If not the best, around Famalicão area. Their special events cakes are to die for. Just go there and start chatting with the owner about flavor combinations for wedding, anniversary or special events cakes and you will be surprised with what they can do. Amazing flavors and freshness. All their pastries are also super good.“

“Very nice and helpful service! At first we were just there to drink coke, but then we decided to eat something. We ordered the suggested fried fish dishes and were treated to two large portions. The fish seemed fresh and delicately prepared, it was served with rice and freshly made potato chips. All in all, I am very satisfied and can only recommend the restaurant!!!“

“The best restaurant in the municipality of Esposende.
Luís and Pedro, always very attentive and attentive.
João Diogo, always there to welcome us with his big smile and friendliness.
Thank you for welcoming us so well...“

“We communicated through Instagram, we went on vacation to Portugal and when we returned we looked on Google and looked for it on Instagram. They responded very quickly. The service at the place was very good. The food excellent. We will be back!!!“

“We came here by chance when visiting the nearby beach. It was a great success, we ordered some meat skewers and then some rice, be careful with the quantities, the average amount of rice for two people is huge. Of course, spectacular quality, everything very rich, very good service and good price. 100% recommendable“

“We were in the restaurant for the second time after 2022, and it was again worth a visit.
The food, we again had the cod dish for two people, was very tasteful. This time the potatoes weren't the country's typical, rather chip-like freshly fried potato chips (I prefer the typical ones, it's very individual).
The service is very attentive, as we speak Portuguese we had a very good attentive service. A little “inattentive” here and there, but not annoying if you don’t have to have everything perfect.
In summary, a nice and tasty dinner, I love coming back every few years, it's no longer quite the WOW experience of the first cod - but still a recommended address around Esposende.
Great value for money - especially the wine list and recommendation “…de la Rosa “Douro”, which went well with the dish.

Parking: No problem - enough free parking spaces

Kid-friendliness: As you are used to in Portugal, extremely hospitable and child-friendly??

Wheelchair accessibility: No problem“

“It's the 2nd time I've been there and it won't be the last. Young and dynamic team. The cover charge is delicious. The dishes are very well served and the caramel fondant with vanilla ice cream is divine. The only thing I didn't like was the coffee. Such an easy thing to miss and yet I think it would have been one of the worst I've ever drunk.

Vegetarian options: Good options“

“Very friendly staff and they try to please. The rooms should be upgraded. Some fungi in the bathroom.Food & drinks: They have oat drink. I suggest buying the one from Aldi instead of the one from Mercadona. It's bio and similar price.The coffee from the machine has a strange taste.“

“We had eaten hear and it was very good. The toilet was super far so after the meal my poop was running down my leg as I was looking for the toilet. Not a lot of starters. Pizza was tasty. The crust was too thick and the pizza was a bit soft. The waiter sometimes looked a bit irritated. The pasta was very good. Desserts are also super good.“

“A menu with a lot of choice at all times of the meal, good service, beautiful dishes, well plated, well served and tasty, very good desserts.
The price is adequate.
The atmosphere is good, just limited by some small details of the space, but very positive.

Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options, including desserts.“

“Casual restaurant, good service and pleasant atmosphere. We ate the daily fare, grilled sardines with boiled potatoes and salad. Soup, wine or others plus coffee. Very well served dish per person. As the weather was good, we stayed on the terrace.

Wheelchair accessibility: We saw a ramp for wheelchair users.“

“I sometimes go for a mixed grill dinner. The staff are friendly, very accessible and the price is also attractive.So far I have liked it, because it is well served.The desserts are also good (pudding, oreo mousse, biscuit cake)Sometimes the restaurant is very busy and the noise becomes unsustainable.“

“Very well located, close to the beach and the fish market, but with an unpretentious exterior, the Além do Mar com Sabores restaurant was a pleasant surprise.
The environment is simple but comfortable.
The service, from both Mr. Nelson and Ms. Cláudia, was excellent, attentive, warm and cordial without ceasing to be professional.
The food is excellent, tasty, in generous portions and at a fair price.
We will be back and highly recommend it.“

“When we pulled up we nearly drove on. However we live in Portugal and know that some of the best places don't look much from the outside. So glad we stopped. We had fantastic whole grilled sea bass and whole grilled sea bream (robelo and dourada) served with portuguese vegetables and delicious grill roasted potatoes. The grilling of the fish was perfect, moist and charred in the right places. Fish was on the bone but cut in a way so you didn't need to flip it to eat it. They also have great dessert with my wife living the camel drool ( google it). All in all a great typically Portuguese meal. Simple and delicious.“

“If you're on holiday in Puglia, try this place for dinner. Problem: you can’t make a reservation, you can only stand in line. You cannot pay by card, only cash. I don’t know if it’s a plus or a minus, but the portions are simply huge. We ordered octopus and veal, local sausages for an appetizer, but didn’t get to dessert. Next time. I recommend. Here I am again and it’s still very tasty, a lot. Today we took two kebabs, that is, half each, but we couldn’t finish it. I recommend.“

“Very beautiful place, exceptional staff and fair prices for a varied menu with lots of good things. Everything very well made. I only switched to homemade fries, even with the skin on, but the ones that came were also good. Congratulations and much success!“
