Portuguese 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.“

“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!“

“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 ;-)“

“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.“

“I comment on this from my personal experience of eating there several times. The restaurant is family-run, the service is good, very friendly, generally fast and optimal attention. The food is good, medium price, good quality and preparation. The entries are well prepared and presented. The menu has few options (which is not a bad thing, it is better to have few and good ones than not too many and not be made fresh as is the case in many cities), there is a fish option depending on the market, and some meat. Personally, I have tried goat and it is good (43 euros, 2 people), the desserts are very good (about 6 euros approx). It only has a couple of tables on the terrace, perhaps that discourages many tourists who prefer the nearby central square with several terraces to eat, however if you are looking for something authentic and more traditional, try it. A surprising detail is the bathrooms: very careful, impeccable, with several details... more typical of a very superior restaurant, and I mention this because I have eaten in numerous restaurants throughout the country and I know what I'm talking about, there are restaurants with a lot of fame and popularity but not in its bathrooms. That detail to me says a lot about customer care. On weekends it may be advisable to book, on weekdays it is usually no problem.

Kid-friendliness: As far as I know there are no restrictions with children or families.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is accessible as it is on the ground floor at street level.“

“Cozy place with very nice background music. Excellent treatment by the owner, very friendly and professional. We ordered rice with lubricant and ribeye, as recommended and it was a success, just like the wine.We were a bit heavy with the point of meat and he did not lose his smile for a moment. The homemade desserts are incredible. The tiramisu was ten.I would go back without a doubt.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“(Translated by Google) 4 people ate cod, francesinha and secreto de cerdo any of the 4 very abundant portions. The staff was very friendly, explaining to us everything we did not understand about the menu since our Portuguese is not very advanced. Definitely recommended.(Original)Comimos 4 personas bacalao,francesinha y secreto de cerdo cualquiera de las 4 raciones muy abundantes.El personal muy amable explicndonos todo lo que no entendiamos de la carta ya que nuestro portugués no es mui avanzando.Sin duda recomendable.“

“Very good restaurant, with excellent dishes, they serve an exquisite baked cod, with very good preparation and presentation, as well as the rest of the meat dishes and their accompaniments that they have on their menu, in addition to their desserts, the homemade ones are highly recommended, in special the house dessert. The attention to the tables by their staff is highly professional, they stand out for their good attention and speed. As for the price, it is acceptable in terms of quality-price ratio.“

“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! ?“

“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.“

“With saying that I go every day..........

Vegetarian options: Well that's it, vegetables.

Dietary restrictions: Cannibalism is not allowed.

Kid-friendliness: Some cafres...

“The chicken wings are really good! It is in a very beautiful location close to the river and has a terrace with a view. The owner is very friendly!

“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.“

“(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. ?“

“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.“

“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.

“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!“

“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.“

“Our last dinner in Caminho - ended very well. We ate outside on one of the small tables. The menu is small but we tried most of it to share amongst our family. We loved it all - very well prepared & presented. Service was very friendly although perhaps slightly slow - however this is a place to relax & enjoy“

“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!!??“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“It's like the sign at the entrance lets us know as it invites us to enter, "If you come for good, be welcome" and we were welcome, well welcomed, well served. With this Family's own Coziness in every detail without fail, whether in the people themselves, in the food, or in the comfort of the entire space. We felt at home and came with the desire to return.
A sincere heartfelt thank you, from two dreamy artists, to Quintinha D'Arga.
One see you soon,
Monica and Roberto“

“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“

“(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“

“A good place to eat cod, we already know that Portugal is the mecca of cod dishes there they serve grilled cod, be careful because it comes with a garnish of vegetable legs and chickpeas so the portion is considerable, I have already eaten there many times and I always repeat for the quality and price.“

“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.“

“Perfect attention and professionalism; very good cod, seafood rice and green broth.Acceptable prices, even lower than its close competition, in line with the general increase in the North of Portugal that does not correspond to other inland areas, nor to the salaries of its nationals; In this regard, doubts arise as to whether the trip is worth it. We will come less, profit for the Spanish hospitality industry.“

“Rainy day. After seeing the fortress, we returned and saw this place. There was no one to eat and it didn't make us feel bad. However, surprise! People started arriving and it filled up. They recommended Bacalao to us and it was a success. A 10 for the service, a 10 for the value for money and a 10 for the location. Without a doubt, we will recommend it and we will return.“
