26 Best Cafes in Guimaraes

“I've known Café Oscar since 1999, when I arrived in Portugal...from England.It's changed its image in recent years... now it's much more chic. But prices remain reasonable.I don't think there is another cafe in Guimarāes that compares to this one. Reminds us of la belle époque. ?“

“I recently had the pleasure of brunching at Emilia and I must say, I love jt from the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a cozy atmosphere .

The menu offers a diverse of options and adventurous dishes. I opted for the Gua Bao de Frango , Taco de camarão , and it was simply divine. The ingredients were fresh, the presentation was beautiful . Also if you love pancakes , you must try ;)“

“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 good Frenchie! From the ingredients, to the sauce and the way it is prepared (not having the bread on top is a great touch). I always eat it with chicken steak, but those who have tried the sirloin steak say it is delicious, super tender.The service and friendliness of the staff is exceptional.A great surprise! I recommend“

“Small find right there next to the castle.It has a terrace at the back of the building that is simply wonderful, where you are in a serene environment and where you can enjoy its excellent sangrias and small snacks.If you're tired of the nightlife in Guimarães, here's an option you'll like.“

“Great place, the best touradas in the area, a super good squeezed orange juice, francesinha to die for and in addition a great welcome from the couple of managers who are really very nice. A little extra for the French, he speaks it perfectly well.“

“What an amazing find in the heart of old Lisbon. As soon as you walk in you feel like you are home. We had our morning coffee with delicious pastries every morning and lunch a few times during our tree night stay in Lisbon. The staff was helpful and very friendly in fact I returned in November because it was like I was going back home. The staff still remembered us. What I also really enjoyed is that being Portuguese and living abroad it’s so nice to still find an authentic place where you still feel like you are in Portugal. Will definitely be back.“

“A salada de frango e os pregos sao muito bons. A piza tb. Atendimento rapido. No entanto, uma das funcionarias é extremamente antipatica, parece que nos está a fazer um favor sempre que fala para o cliente, e decidiu fazer uma barulheira imensa a arrumar pratos enquanto estávamos a almoçar. Os restantes funcionários sao muito simpaticos.“

“An iconic space in Guimarães, Casa Costinhas is a must-visit point to discover typical Guimarães sweets, such as Toucinho do Céu and Torta de Guimarães (the original recipe, based on egg, sugar, almonds and chila, was created here). All very sweet, as conventual sweets dictate.Friendly and available service.“

“I found this little pastry shop by chance. Lucky for me to discover that this small space has a huge story to tell.Its regional cakes are made from a secret recipe that has been passed down from generation to generation.- Guimarães pies- Guimarães sky bacon- Douradinhas from GuimarãesThese are the 3 cakes to try. The person who opened doors to my Divine Gluttony was Mrs. Alexandra. Sorry, she asked me to just call her Xana. We had a very pleasant conversation about the history of these cakes and, to my surprise, I learned that these delicacies are better known to foreigners than the Portuguese themselves. This pastry has already been recognized by televisions in European, American and Asian countries, all of whom are in love with the sweets of Guimarães.Perhaps, as Portuguese, because we associate this city with conquests and glory, we do not believe that it is capable of sweet feats. We couldn't be more wrong.Xana and the rest of the family, I hope one day to see your great legacy receive the recognition it deserves. Until then, I'll pass on my word.“

“(Translated by Google) A friendly space to drink a beer, eat a snack and watch football..Simple dishes with good flavorAn audience with a taste for football(Original)Um Espaço simpático para beber um cervejav comer um snack e ver futebol..Pratos simples mas com bom saborUm público com gosto pelo futebol“

“Nice cafe but they didn’t have any soya or oat milk. If you can’t drink cow’s milk then you can’t have a coffee in this place. I think it’s a shame that they don’t take into account people with dietary restrictions. The staff was kind and atmosphere was lovely but this didn’t allow me to stay.“
