50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Goios

“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.“

“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.“

“Absolutely outstanding restaurant. The chef creativity and execution of the food was incredible. The service was impeccable, very knowledgeable staff. Daniel was great!

We tried the Scallops, which were divine. We then the octopus which was also very good. These were matched with Sidonio de Sousa sparkling wine. We then had the Sea Bass with clams risotto - this was an absolutely outstanding dish! Wow... Finally we tried the lobster with a delicious risotto as well. These dishes were matched with Insula Chao de Lavas, an outstanding wine, perfectly matching the dishes. Finally, we tried their version of the tiramisu...again what a version! Delicious and matching was the fantastic Vinho Madeira Borges! All in all an excellent dinner! Thank you to all the team..“

“It was one of the best restaurants I've ever been to, the food is great, the atmosphere is calm and the service is fantastic, they are very quick to serve I went today with my family, there were 5 of us and we spent €112 for 5 people, it's not a lot of money

Parking: There's a lot of space“

“Mandatory stop if you pass through Povoa, it is a restaurant in a large library with a unique and very cozy atmosphere.
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.“

“We were highly recommended by a local colleague to have our lunch here. The restaurant, located near the seaside of Porto, boasts beautifully decorated interiors and exteriors. I enjoyed the fresh seafood, especially the catch of the day from the ocean. We shared a large grilled seabass, commonly caught in these waters, and it was delicious and fresh, simply grilled to perfection. I also loved the clams, which were incredibly fresh and cooked simply with olive oil, making them so flavorful and tasty, full of umami. Paired with the local Douro River white wine, it was a fantastic experience! My other colleague chose the local beef, which looked delicious as well. We ended the meal with cheesecake and tiramisu, both delightful. The service was fantastic, despite only one waitress speaking good English. Overall, it’s a great place to enjoy excellent cooking.“

“Lovely place in the heart of Pòvoa de Varzim. Hope atmosphere with tasty authentic food.Will be back next time I’m visiting the town.Thank you for the experience :)

Vegetarian options: Had tofu dish which would have worked for my vegan wife too :)“

“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.“

“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!“

“Small and fine restaurant at the river mouth. Very friendly and attentive service. We had Pataniscas as a starter, these were freshly baked and served hot. A dream!
The food was beautifully presented and was very tasty. The side dishes were also enough! The house wine went great with it!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Illustrious restaurant, with a rating of 5 in the entire evaluation. I recommend Cod or Segoviano Piglet, which has a maximum gestation period of 20 or 21 days. Until then, he was fed with his mother's milk. In which it is carved with a plate, which demonstrates its real size and its young age...
However, you must make an appointment, both for Leitão and for your meal at Julinha...! I loved .“

“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.“

“(Translated by Google) Well it's good to eat here at this restaurant but I have to say something we were 2 couples hear another couple arrived later had to eat before us(Original)Bem e bom comer aqui neste restaurante mas tenho que dizer alguma coisa ermos 2 casais ouve outro casal chegou depois teve comer primeiro que gente“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Praça Velha continues to be our go-to restaurant for the prato do dia. Every day, there is a meat or fish dish that is accompanied by salad and potatoes or rice. The meal is started with fresh soup and includes coffee and a dessert (often fresh fruit, chocolate mousse, creme brûlée, or baked cinnamon apple). The prato do dia is always a very-reasonable price and the owners and servers are excellent. You really feel at home here, as they treat each diner with respect. The food is always fresh! It is an easy walk from the main street (one block from the market area) and is nestled in a quaint street. There are about 12 tables for four, one table for 8 or 9, and numerous patio tables.“

“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 ??“

“Delicious flavours, quality produce, excellent service from both the front of house team and skilled chefs/kitchen staff. Loved the linguine Nero with prawns, sauteed vegetables were perfectly done and the chocolate mouse was too good. Excellent dining experience with a helpful waitress that helped explain the local beer and wine choices to a couple of Camino pilgrims.“

“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*****“

“(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!“

“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.“

“(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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Second time we go there to eat a good francesinhas, never disappointed, very nice boss and waiters, in addition to speaking a little French. Despite a full restaurant that we didn't book, we were able to find a place on the terrace, fast and efficient service ?“

“The best octopus restaurant in Portugal is this one.
Definitely take the house specialty octopus and also take the special bread (garlic bread).
Impossible to be disappointed if you like octopus. The sauce and flavor of the octopus mixture is a delight.
I recommend this address for octopus lovers.“

“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.“

“Our family of 5 dined here for a late lunch, 2:15pm after a grueling Camino Hike of 25km in 85’ plus heat! From abundant ice water to cracking bread (crunchy outside, light as air inside). Wine list offers a bounty for every palate and dish on the menu! Wait staff treated us as special guests despite our inappropriate attire (we had not yet changed into our post hiking clothes), and yet management was understanding; however, in the future I will ensure that our men wear button down collars and long pants. Ladies should be dressed in professional attire as well: dress with scarf or pantsuit… yes, the atmosphere, service and quality of the food will impress you!!! Make sure to shower and dress appropriately AND definitely make a reservation.“

“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“

“Eve speaks both English and Spanish, and she carefully explained the options for the lunch menu.
The food was delicious, and the slightly carbonated white wine was so delicious that it permeated my body as I walked on the Camino! thank you.“

“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.“

“The food in this restaurant was delicious and well presented, it had lots of choices between meat and fish too. The service from the waiters was exceptional and they seemed pretty chill. The location is beautiful too. Overall a very nice experience, I would recommend.“

“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!!!“

“Go NOW! This was such a wonderful experience and the food was PERFECT. Nothing fancy on the outside but inside is a gem. Beautiful white tablecloths, reasonable prices, and food again, PERFECT. We had recommended menu items from the owner (as we speak no Portuguese & he speaks some English). Service was outstanding. It’s worth a drive here if it’s out of your way.“

“Hammer!Picanhas are served with a hot stone.Here you “grill” the meat yourself.The meat becomes incredibly tender and has a spectacular taste!It is served with arroz de feijão, fries or hot potatoes.Incredibly delicious!!!Very friendly service!Free parking in the area.“

“A great place to eat on the water front. We came across this restaurant whilst walking past and decided to give it a try. We are glad we did. We were seated inside on a very hot day which was ideal. The waiter was very friendly and guided us through the menu. For a starter we had olives, a selection of breads with tuna pate. For the main we shared the local cod dish with prawns etc., topped with potatoes. This was delicious and we ate the whole dish !. For desert we had the tart which the waiter poured whisky on which made for a superb finish !. We also had a bottle of the local white wine. We would definitely visit again.“

“Excellent food!
Good quality meat, perfectly cooked, punched potatoes with a unique flavor, very well cooked and roasted and even the salad was wonderful.
House dessert was delicious!
Very helpful employee, with a very comprehensive knowledge of all the dishes. I highly recommend it!“

“Suelo ir a restaurantes con buen servicio pero este se coloca en el primer puesto. Profesionales atentos y serviciales un diez. Buena comida y buen precio. Si pides buen vino podras disfrutar de la liturgia del escanciador. Todo un arte, desde la apertura de la botella rompiendo el gollete por efecto calor- frio. Hasta el servicio en copa.....“

“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!“

“Surprisingly good, not to say, very good!I went in to eat/lunch "very out of hours" (15:30h) and was treated and served, as if the first meal of the day was being served!Well Haja!

Parking: Private of the establishment, free, contiguous to it!“

“We stumbled across this small restaurant by accident and it was only later that we learned what good reviews it had. We took it as we found it. We were lucky to be welcomed and found a table for three. Others, coming straight after us, we not so lucky but it was suggested they try again later. They were not turned away as such. The food was Portuguese. It was good. The ambience was lively. The service was good and our waiter was a character. It made for an excellent evening. I would certainly recommend this establishment but do go early. It’s very popular.“
