European Restaurants near Loivo, PT

“We liked it a lot, the spacious, beautiful restaurant, very quiet and pleasant terrace and the food was 10, good quantities and good flavor. The boys' attention was perfect, thank you. The white sangria is also very delicious. We will be back.“

“One of my favorite go to places, located in the seaside village of Moledo, in the Minho Region of Portugal, one of Portugal’s best kept secrets… Don’t come if you don’t want to fall in love…Arroz de tamboril (monkfish rice) with shrimp, and be sure to reserve in advance as well as ask to eat in outdoor terrace with granite tables and benches…Their bacalhau and meats are mouth watering…Wash it all down with the house wine - Vinho Verde, red or white in a bowl (malga).Don’t forget to leave room for the delicious homemade desserts!!!“

“We would like to point out or even recommend this establishment serving, among other things, tapas. Well-made, expensive and well-presented cuisine. I beautiful decor in the room. Our meal for 6 people was €81 with two liters of sangria. A word of advice, book.“

“Great place to eat in Valença, inside the fortress. We came with a reservation and everything was very good and very delicious, to repeat a thousand times. The service was great and very friendly, and the dishes had a spectacular flavour, yes, with a lot of quantity, so I recommend not going overboard as they come very full. Highly recommended is the knuckle at low temperature and the house bacalhau. The house's white green wine, also very delicious and very well priced.
Very brave! ?“

“Super nice bar, with incredible atmosphere and views. Gin very well served and the snacks tasty. The fries are great, the garlic bread is really worth it and I haven't had such a good mixed toast on rustic bread in a long time, well filled and warm.It's a shame I live far away and can't go there more often. But to visit whenever you pass through Cerveira.“

“This is a wonderful restaurant where you can enjoy Portuguese cuisine while overlooking the sea. The owner was always paying attention to every corner of the store, and I could feel his love for the store. Especially the seafood risotto was extremely delicious. I was alone, but they made me a half portion without complaining. All the employees were friendly and professional. The shop is full of Portuguese people. I visited on a pilgrimage to Santiago, but I highly recommend you check it out ???“

“Staff very nice and attentive. Rapid. They spoke Spanish. Very friendly with the dog. The cod is exquisite, the wine too. And the desserts are very delicious. All delicious and at a good price. With water, wine, starter, main and dessert at 26 euros each. Highly recommended!“

“Little corner of paradise by the ocean.
Nelson (manager) fantastic and super friendly. Drink a little aperitif with some top shellfish.
The atmosphere is awesome.
I highly recommend ?
There are more cases than going through the door to find a friendly and unique warmth.“

“We ordered super salty cod, we left practically everything and they offered to give us others when we were already paying.

Vegetarian options: They have several things

Parking: Very good location and lots of space“

“WOW! Not many restaurant owners attempt—let alone succeed—in crafting a complete customer experience from the moment of reservation to the reception, atmosphere, service quality, and meals, but Retiro da Ponte does just that! The serene theme, beautifully set against a backdrop of nature, is evident in the stunning views and thoughtfully arranged tables.

The staff was incredibly helpful during the reservation process and provided excellent support throughout our visit. The pâté, olives, bread, and butter were delightful. My wife and I both ordered steak dinners, with her substituting the potatoes for a mixed green salad. For dessert, she chose the pecan pie with vanilla ice cream, while I opted for the lemon custard, which was truly the best I’ve ever tasted.

The restrooms were immaculate and even featured monogrammed towels, which was surprisingly unexpected. The ambiance was both visually appealing and meticulously organized. I have two suggestions for improvement: first, I would have preferred to lower the volume for the music a bit, and personally would have chosen a more sophisticated jazz style, as this would have elevated the experience even further. Second, as a foreigner, it stresses me find out which card brands are accepted. My suggestion would be to include a list of accepted card brands on the first page of the menu, possibly with a brief history about the ownership or operation.

Final thought: I drove by many times but could only dine in on our last day in Vilar dos Mouros, and I wish we could have enjoyed it sooner! Thank you!

Parking: As long as you come early, you should be able to find a parking spot near the restaurant, around the local market, or across the Medieval Bridge next to the St Amaro church.

Kid-friendliness: Food for kids is available.“

“Good homemade food, with adjusted price/quality. We had a reservation so there was no need to wait, but when we arrived there was a long queue. As the restaurant was full, the service was not the most efficient, but overall I recommend the visit!“

“We arrived following Google reviews and we spent a long time waiting... Reservations are required! But the wait was worth it! The staff had a frenetic pace but did not lose their smile to serve you. We ordered cod and it was perfect! Typical Portuguese cuisine, which I will surely eat again!“

“This was a surprise find. Very good value for money, very nice service, even if no English spoken. With the help of online translation, we had a very nice dinner. Local bubbly for 10.50 Euro was fine, Reserva red wine for 14 euro was excellent, possibly the best we had in Portugal. Almond cake for dessert was very large and very fresh. Fantastic value for money.“

“We went to this restaurant because it was recommended. We liked it, but it wasn't spectacular. We ate seafood rice, which was very tasty but more like mussel rice, because it was the most. Some prawns (very good quality!) And almost no crab. The seafood cream was very good.“

“There is a queue so it’s best you book, otherwise just turn up and the gentleman takes your mobile and calls you back when they have a table ready. We walked for 30 mins ! Food was Devine we had the Sardinhas asadas & bacalhau da casa and the desert was absolutely delicious natas do céu ;-)“

“Restaurante muy bien ubicado, con unas vistas para el mar y para la playa ?️, cuenta una terracita muy agradable en el verano sobre todo! La comida muy buena, el arroz de marisco viene con mucha variedad de mariscos y bastante cantidad! El servicio fue bastante rápido y eso que estaba petado. De postre la tarta de queso que pedimos muy buena también.“

“(Translated by Google) An experience of 10, food quality price, excellent service. Without a doubt I would repeat. Super recommended. If you go through Moledo I recommend it. Greetings Spain. ?(Original)Un experiencia de 10, la comida calidad precio, un servicio excelente. Sin dudarlo repetiría. Súper recomendado. Si pasas por Moledo te lo recomiendo. Un saludo España. ?“

“A wonderful surprise. ❤️
Incredible service with a lot of friendliness in the mix!

We ordered the house Bacalhau and loved it.
I recommend it for lunch and to enjoy a good time with friends and family.

Eat and drink well, it's here!
I would also like to add that I don't understand the negative comments I read, they don't make any sense.

“All very good food, familiar and attentive staff, at an impressive price! Highly recommended

Vegetarian options: Quite a few vegetarian options (potato and cheese omelet, mushroom scramble, fried camembert, gratin eggplant...)“

“There's an employee called Eduardo who goes around Sérgio a thousand times (he also knows how to work but... has more years of experience) the eduatdo is friendly, calm, calm and very professional. Congratulations, in addition to the food and the price.“

“According to Google, the restaurant opens at 7 p.m. Please don't go until 7:30 p.m. The food was great, we liked it. For beef, if necessary, give instructions on how you should grill the meat (medium, etc).

Otherwise everything is okay in terms of price. We were told that there was a pilgrim menu, but there probably wasn't.“

“Vapor is definitely an amazing place to relax by the sea. The relaxed atmosphere is perfect for enjoying good music while sipping a cold beer at affordable prices. The caipirinhas and mojitos are simply unforgettable, elevating the experience of each sunset into something truly special. Furthermore, the exceptional service from the staff contributes to a positive experience. If you're looking for a place with beach vibes, great drinks and a nice atmosphere, Vapor is definitely the place to visit.“

“It is clear that they are professionals in the sector. The waiter who served us today has many tables, he was very attentive and friendly. The food is also spectacular. All very very rich. We ate starters of cheese and sardine pâté, grilled cod with boiled potatoes and another "cachelo" type, as well as cabbage. Delicious. The desserts are also homemade and very well made. The truth is that we take away the memory of an exceptional meal and want to return soon. Moito obrigado!“

“Located in the historic center, in a very busy place, it has a terrace in the middle of the street and a large annex space in front of the main store (prepaid service).

It has a wide variety of dry sweets, biscuits, traditional pastries and savory cakes - be careful with the spicy samosas (they are really spicy, but they have a non-spicy option).

There is also a variety of snacks (fast food, sandwiches), with emphasis on prego na bread: it is served on a huge rustic loaf, including omelet, cheese, ham, tomato, bacon and lettuce. It’s perfect for sharing, as it’s very generous.

Quite fast service.

It's worth trying.“

“A site with a very modern appearance. Very good service, with very delicious food and abundant portions.
We ordered 2 of the star dishes:
Cod and chicken (frango)
In my case I eat chicken and the truth is that it is very rich in flavor.
For dessert we ordered cheesecake, whiskey cake and fried egg, the latter being a slice of pineapple with half a peach in syrup on top.
Everything very delicious and exceptional service

Parking: They have a free parking in front of the restaurant and another behind the restaurant, so there is no parking problem.“

“A restaurant with a high quality product, well cooked and with unbeatable treatment by the staff, they know how to recommend the dishes very well and are friendly and approachable.
It is worth it and I will repeat the next time I am there.“

“This is an outstanding stop on the Camino Portuguese - an unassuming cake shop with magnificent cakes and delicious fuel for the pilgrim. After dancing up and down through the houses in the woods this is a very welcome stop in Ancona. I was slow out of Viana do castelo today and it took me 5 hours to reach here. Had I known how tasty the cakes were I might've just got a train straight here. When I come back to do the Portuguese way I will miss out the first stretch out of Viana and get the train one town up. It's a beautiful walk on the hills and fairly shaded. You get great views of the sea and then wonderful Cake shops like this to fortify the body for the next shift to Caminha. Thank you.“

“Very delicious pastries and coffee at a good price.
The guy who attends the terrace is very nice and attentive to everything.
You have to wait sometimes, because there are quite a few people, so it's a good idea to go slowly.“

“It had been on the list for almost a year. Today was the day. We will return to try the remaining specialties. Easy access location, good atmosphere, interesting decor, diverse menu, high quality dishes. For all this, I repeat that we will return.

Parking: We had no difficulty parking on the street near the restaurant.“

“Long established roadside restaurant with lots of freshly prepared dishes using local ingredients including many from their garden. Excellent food especially grilled meats/fish. Friendly, quick service. I've been coming here for over 13 years and it remains consistent and good value for money.“

“Good afternoon, my family and I came to spend a holiday in Vila Praia de Ancora, when looking for a place to eat I came across the positive reviews of this restaurant and we decided to give it a try.

The place has a good and very welcoming atmosphere, the servers are very attentive and polite, the burgers also have a lot of flavor, fresh meat, and a 5⭐️ appearance, and with an affordable price compared to the quality of the food, all in all we conclude that it is a great place to go. a meal and for socializing.

Congratulations to the person responsible for the excellent team!!??“

“6 adults ate 3 whole portions of cod and we went out bursting and everything was very good, we couldn't finish it.
The portions are abundant, good service and atmosphere in the restaurant, we did not eat desserts because we were very full.“

“Menu of the day very rich and careful. 1 euros
Very good attention from the waiter who touched us.
The problem is that prices have increased again and for 11 euros for a menu of the day, it is less and less worth it to cross the border.“

“Super simple place but with very good food. Super well attended. I had a 4 year old child with me, who ate it without any problems, and there is soup on the menu.

Parking: Parking 5 minutes walk from the place, more or less, as the restaurant is located on pedestrian streets.“

“The food, the service, the hospitality is fantastic. We have eaten here each time we come to Covas. The son of the owner (forgot to ask him his name) is a real patron of the restaurant, attentive, speaks fantastic English which puts our attempt at Portuguese to shame.“

“A restaurant located in a beautiful property next to the Deer Viewpoint.
Very friendly and attentive service.
It shows that they are starting and improving, they lack details such as improving the dining room a little, but it is compensated with friendliness, reasonable food and a short, but good wine list and at a very good price.
The owner very attentive.“

“We went as a group of 12 and we all found something on the varied menu and the quality was excellent especially the fish, would definitely recommend.

Vegetarian options: All the usual options

Parking: Parking directly outside

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu“

“07/25/24 . Restaurant rated 10. Very good food, we ate prego on the plate and grilled cod, everything was very tasty and of good quality. I haven't left a restaurant so satisfied in a while. The attendants were very polite and kind, congratulations!!!

Parking: open, close to the restaurant.“

“Very pleasant experience. The staff of 10, professionals who make the difference: they make a simple place a place to recommend to everyone who goes to the area. Ease of handling our reservation, fast and friendly service, details with the children when we leave. The delicious food, simple but well prepared: mussels, chicken, secret, cod and swordfish, homemade desserts, delicious wine. And the price is great. Thanks to all the team who make it possible

Kid-friendliness: Good place to go with children, super friendly.“

“Delicious food! We ordered the portion that serves 2 people of cod with cornbread, and it would easily serve 3, there was plenty left over. We paid €33 for cod with bread (for 2), €33 for roast cod (for 2) and €12 for fish (for 1).

Points to improve: The internal environment is quite noisy near the kitchen window, and meals took a long time, but we went on Sunday and the restaurant was very full.“

“Restaurant with large windows and views of the sea. I ordered grilled sardines and the owner was careful to tell me that they were Portuguese sardines, therefore smaller than what we usually see in supermarkets, imported from Spain.
The sardines were very fresh. The dish came with an exemplary presentation, and mouth-watering flavors.
I recommend.“

“A friendly place with 3 vegan options: hamburger, feijoada and breaded bread.I ordered the feijoada and it was delicious. It was vegetable feijoada and vegan sausage, it was well seasoned and the flavors combined well.For starters, I ordered potatoes bravas (the bravas sauce is vegan) and they were crispy and tasty. My companion ordered picanha and was also very satisfied. I recommend

Vegetarian options: 3 options: feijoada, hamburger and breaded“

“Excellent place, it has surprised us for the better, the waiters are very friendly, the atmosphere is great and original, the food is spectacular, but especially the cabbage soup and the francesinha, in short one of the best restaurants in Valenca do Miño, it is a 10/10“

“The host rated 10. I paid €13 for 3 beers and a juicy and very tasty steak. A super ok price. Parking spaces in front of the restaurant. The restaurant also has an outdoor terrace. I highly recommend ???

Parking: Parking with easy access in front of the restaurant.“

“(Translated by Google) We went for lunch on a Saturday and it was a success. Homemade food made at the moment. We ordered seafood rice and pork churrasco. All excellent. We will repeat for sure another day that we return to Valença(Original)Fuimos a comer un sábado y fue todo un éxito. La comida casera hecha al momento. Pedimos arroz de marisco y churrasco de cerdo. Todo excelente. Repetiremos seguro otro día que volvamos por Valença“
