“Arrogant, ill-disposed and extremely impolite owner! I don't foresee great glories for you! There is a lack of training in the area of ​​catering and customer service. You only succeed because there is no competition! Anyway! I am not coming back!!!“

“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!“

“Fantastic place, excellent service, five-star service, especially the owner who is incredibly friendly and attentive.
Our choice was a steak au pepper and a chunk of it was empty. The meat is of high quality and cooked to perfection.
I recommend
Excellence“

“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!“

“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. ?“

“Another great (veggie) lunch in guimaraes. We had the pasta with veggie balls and they were excellent! The service was very friendly. We visited with our little 3 month girl and it was a little noisy and we could not lie her down (no benches), but that did not ruin our experience. The service offered us a baby chair, but she can not sit yet. Thank you for the great food!“

“Toca do Coelho is a true gastronomic treasure where the friendliness of Mr. Félix and the entire team is as warm as the dishes served. The food is excellent, each dish a true culinary masterpiece that delights the palate. The environment is welcoming and invites you to enjoy memorable moments. I recommend it without any hesitation, everything is excellent, from the service to the last bite. It's a constant shame when we have to leave this place after such good times, but with the certainty that there will always be an irresistible desire to return...“

“Michelin Starred Restaurantbut the service, food and drink here are so much moreA wonderful experiencestarter, main course and desserts harmonious with wine anda non-alcoholic cocktailat the end a ristretto with a Beirão liqueureverything absolutely perfectThis is how we concluded the night in Guimarães in the winter of January 2024, 10 years after our last visita toast to the whole team and a special thank you: grazzie mille“

“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 were four people and we did very well.
The choice fell on the Minho and Douro white wine menu.
The four-course menu is always the chef's choice and is only known when they arrive at the table.
The initial bread, crunchy, with sourdough, presided over by well-chosen olive oil and butter with… octopus roe, all received top marks.
Excellence dominated all the dishes, the soup, the fish, the meat and the final sweets, without exception. It is not important to describe them as they will not be the same on a subsequent visit.
The finish was enriched with variations of the abbey of Priscos and petit-gateaux with carrot, again with top marks.
Very professional service.
Very pleasant atmosphere on a Sunday when only one other table was occupied.
To revisit on a special day.“

“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 ?????“

“It deserved a better location but being inside the restaurant and after appreciating everything that is available to us with unmatched friendliness and professionalism, the location is no longer of interest. Coming back and taking the opportunity to try other excellent suggestions.“

“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.“

“Simply one word: I LOVED IT!!!Very good food, well prepared, very homemade and of high quality. Meat that falls apart in your mouth and has an excellent flavor. The fresh sangria is great. Excellent and personalized service. Family and welcoming atmosphere. I really enjoyed seeing the wood ovens. D. Margarida is an excellent host.I'll be back to try the francesinhas, our mouths are all watering.WE LOVE IT!! WE LOVE IT!! WE LOVE IT!!“

“Good discovery in Guimarães. We started with a beautiful ham and cheese board and then continued with a good seafood Fideua. At the end we tried a divine mint semufrio and a fantastic prestige cake. All accompanied by a local sauvignon blanc white wine. To repeat“

“A group went here to dine. The main course of lamb knuckle was delicious, without the smell of sheep. The environment was comfortable and the staff was kind. The environment looked clean and comfortable. Ordering a glass of red wine went well with the meal. There were also many locals dining in the store.“

“Excellent restaurant at all levels. From welcoming customers to farewell. Always attentive and incredibly friendly and helpful. The food is great and with very generous portions. Good wine, good room close to the city center of Guimarães (by car), but far enough away to not feel the typical service for tourists where you don't feel the homely touch. Beautiful family dinner.“

“First of all, this criticism should have been made earlier, so as not to forget to do it, I am doing it now. Now, it would be difficult to really forget to evaluate this pleasant and welcoming space. The food is homemade, made with love and care. The starters are delicious, especially the blood sausage. Arriving at the main course, your belly is already full, with so many good starters. The main course afterwards, even though it is practically full, makes you want to eat until you can no longer eat, everything is delicious. To summarize things a little, I'll move on to dessert, the French toast and what a French toast! One of the best I've ever eaten in my life, I don't know what the secret is in the recipe, but I recommend leaving a little space in your belly to taste it. In this case I was served by the friendly Joana and Eugénia, where their friendliness also won me over, personally, in addition to the food, I pay a lot of attention to customer service and here they also deserve a rating of 5. Final summary, 5 stars, to come back and repeat , especially with an empty belly because here the belly comes out happy.“

“Sushi lovers: This is a must. Servings and presentation are great. Ingredients are fresh and natural. Definitely NOT an average buffet sushi. In addition, restaurant is very cozy and staff very helpful, friendly and kind. You can't leave this place without trying their amazing "sangria".“

“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.“

“The restaurant is impeccable! The atmosphere is beautiful and cozy, and the service is excellent. We were very well looked after, and the cuisine was great! I ordered the Parmigiana and it was wonderful ?. I loved it and highly recommend it!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free meals.

Kid-friendliness: There are special meals for children, such as Prato Kids.“

“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.“

“Attention and waiting times to be served perfect. Nothing to say either about the food, very delicious.
The only drawback that the place has for me and for which I do not give 5 stars is that in practically all the dishes the price is given based on weight (for example steak €40/kilo). This means that you don't really know what the price of a portion is and that when you get the bill you don't know if they are charging you right or wrong since you never know the weight of the piece that has been served to you. It is a topic that I did not like at all since it is always up to the restaurant to charge you one price or another since no one tells you what is the weight of the piece that they are going to serve you. Very limited menu and practically all dishes priced at €40 - €45/kilo.“

“(Translated by Google) A wonderful find in Braga, excellent service, a pleasant cozy and comfortable environment, the food from starters to desserts, a very extensive wine list, congratulations on the project. on repeat(Original)Um belíssimo achado em Braga, atendimento excelente um ambiente agradável aconchegante e confortável, a comida desde as entradas as sobremesas, uma carta de vinhos muito vasta, parabéns pelo projeto. A repetir“

“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“

“We ordered about five dishes plus olives. They were all absolutely delicious and the taste sensations really diverse. We were also very full at the end. The service was excellent - helpful and friendly. We're staying nearby. I suspect we will have another meal there before we leave.“

“An establishment with unique dedication, people who live their work with love for what they do, which you can find in few places. I fully recommend it, you will have a very pleasant experience. We customers just have to be grateful for having a place like this at our disposal. Thank you Forneria da vila?“

“Fantastic space.... Food very well prepared..... very tasty..... Personalized and extremely fast service..
The price is nothing special.....

Definitely worth revisiting.

Kid-friendliness: With an area for children to play.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The restaurant offers a very pleasant atmosphere, ideal for family gatherings without noise or confusion. The staff is friendly and attentive. The starters are well prepared, including paladinhos, pataniscas, octopus, cod, alheira puff pastry, vegetable puff pastry and ham. The Spanish-style cod accompanied by stewed potatoes and Douro red wine made the meal perfect. The burnt cream milk dessert, despite not being homemade, complemented with coffee ended the experience. The visit is worth repeating.“

“Without a doubt our best meal in 11 days in Portugal. Lively, warm interior. We were greeted immediately by management and staff as we were shown to our table. Service was spot on. And I do mean spot on. Each tapa we ordered was excellent as was the sangria. Excellent wine list. Great value for money. Rio's was booked solid so be sure to make a reservation. We prefer places with local "vibe" and local customers; Rio's on the night we were there was filled with Americans like us. Still, a first class experience. Would return without hesitation.“

“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.“

“We were looking for a place to eat francesinhas because my children didn't want to return from Portugal without trying them and we found Real Plazza: a total success. Variety of francesinhas with original combinations and without excess sauce (although they offer you more if you want to add), very pleasant service and a modern, clean place. We had a lot of food left over, so I recommend the option of sharing.“

“Simply fantastic!
From reservation to dessert, the team's attention and dedication to doing the best is always present.
I recommend it without fear of making mistakes.
It's so worth it!!!

Parking: Ample parking and easy access to the restaurant.“

“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.“

“Spectacular experience, the food has an exceptional flavor, the service is excellent and the options presented are immense.The decor and atmosphere are very welcoming, the only drawback is that it was quite hot inside at the time of my visit.I recommend it 100%!“

“One of the best local restaurants for traditional Portuguese food. Starters are really tasty, with plenty of choices. The main dishes are very flavorful, very reminiscent of traditional Portuguese food. The same goes for the desserts, where you have your typical creme brulee, cookie cake, etc. all very well prepared and with a nice balance of flavors. The staff is very funny and welcoming! And the atmosphere is a nice balance between a traditional tavern and a cozy elegant restaurant. I really liked it, and can only recommend the Naco Folhado and Cookies Cake in the pictures :)

Vegetarian options: You Will not find many (or any) vegetarian options in the menu, but I'm pretty sure if you call in advance they will prepare something for you, a friend or a relative one.“

“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.“

“Unique place, it's really a cave, inside the rocks. One of the best roasted fish I've ever eaten in my life. Very good salad. Friendly and fun service. Affordable prices: whole sea bass for 2 people, starter, salad, 2 drinks, total €30. They accept cash and Mbway.“

“Good entries and a lot of prices on offer. It would be better if the steak was cooked less and the bread had a less dense crumb to let the meat shine more. I think the bread is quite good, but it should have a softer crumb to make the meat feel better.“

“Pleasant place with beautiful natural surroundings outside.In terms of what was served, it could be improved and has the capacity to do so, hence my 4 stars.Professional and friendly service from the owner adds value to the experience.I wanted to return.“

“Everything perfect from the food to the service. The beef puff pastry (beef Wellington style) was delicious and the passion fruit baked cheesecake was a wonderful surprise. The atmosphere in the room was comfortable and welcoming. The entire team was extremely attentive and professional. We will certainly return.“

“very good food, good atmosphere whether family or with friends, very friendly owners, I recommend it.

Parking: right in front of the restaurant. plenty of parking spaces.

Kid-friendliness: Very good environment, space for children to play while they eat

Wheelchair accessibility: very easy access for wheelchair mobility“
