“We loved this place with a husband and wife team. She asked if we wanted the meat roll she had in the oven which came with a soup starter or quiche. We went with the oven option. It was all very good. We then ordered the chocolate dessert cooked by the husband and a lemon dessert by the wife…the lemon was our favorite. We would definitely go back.“

“We went on a family outing and, by chance, we went into Urbanos for lunch. We love the light and pleasant atmosphere. Very clean... young, super friendly and efficient staff. Good food compatible with the price. We brought the leftover pizza to eat later because it was so good. Experience to repeat! Thank you from Vila Nova de “

“We ate great and of all styles. The first day was a spectacular charcuterie board, the second cod (the most delicious we ate in Viana) was something great. It looks like a bar but it has a wonderful cook. The treatment of the waitresses is spectacular. Everything is great. I will repeat without a doubt. 100% recommendable“

“I loved. I ate a combo that had two large bread rolls, lettuce and tomato salad and fries. In addition to being a super affordable dish, it is also a super balanced meal: vegetables, protein and carbohydrates. I recommend it to everyone who goes to the city of Viana do Castelo.“

“The best cocktails in Viana do castelo. If you have the opportunity come, it's worth it. It is super cozy and the attention is unbeatable. There are also options for drinks and beers. We came for the good music and found a spectacular corner. Thanks for everything!“

“We found this place by chance and it was a great success. We ordered the menu of the day which included soup, grilled sea bream, wine and dessert. The waiter told us that he ran out of sea bream but that they offered us baked sea bass and it was wonderful. I will return one day“

“5 stars!!!!!!!
I have nothing wrong to say about this wonderful restaurant, it was the first time I came to this restaurant and I felt at home, the recipes, the atmosphere, the staff, everything was perfect, in addition to the fact that the recipes are quite healthy and affable, the creativity of the dishes is a tapestry of flavors, weaving a unique and captivating narrative, the restaurant's ambience shines like a rare diamond, reflecting light and warmth on all customers, the hospitality offered here is like a gentle breeze, bringing peace and tranquility to busy hearts, Each dish that leaves the kitchen is an example of intrinsic elegance, filling the environment with sophistication, the chef's ability to transform simple ingredients into extraordinary culinary experiences is truly magical, The generosity in portions and attention in detail it is comparable to a mighty river, always flowing and nourishing customers. The restaurant's atmosphere is a tapestry of comfort and refinement, creating an unforgettable gastronomic experience.“

“We ordered a francesinha and a burger, they were divine. It's been a long time since we've had a francesinha this good.
Five-star service and extremely friendly person in charge.
When we return to Viana do Castelo we will definitely go there to eat again.“

“We went to this pastry shop to try the “Sidónio” cake and have coffee. After also trying other pastry shops, we consider these to be the best Sidonians in the beautiful city of Viana.
I won't say the rest because we haven't tried it.“

“Newcomers to these things Google couldn't stop praising this house. On vacation in Esposende they recommended this barbecue. An excellent surprise. I ordered and it was ready on time. Fresh produce and excellent barbecue sauce. Clean place and people. We will be back soon for sure.“

“We loved the food, we had the executive menu. The super nice people. The only downside is that it took a long time between courses. They apologized, but that doesn't mean I have to stop commenting on it (more than 20 minutes)

Parking: on the street“

“The PIZZA—Wow, definitely a MUST try! The crust was delicious on its own! The salad we had was perfectly seasoned— I am picky with my salads, but Dolce Sapporo’s salad didn’t have too much vinegar, nor too many herbs, nor bathed in dressing. The restaurant is very nicely designed, and the staff very friendly and attentive. Didn’t have time to try the desserts, hopefully we can return soon. Absolutely LOVED it!“

“Magnificent establishment with a spectacular, clean, harmonious terrace, decorated to taste, and with details that only those who appreciate it notice, located in Castelo de Neiva.
Very well sanitized bathroom with top decoration...individual Turkish towels...a treat.
Now let's move on to the service provided by Miguel, who is a polite person with a frank smile who is always helpful.
And finally the icing on the cake...from the starters (rolled sardines/clams à bulhão pato) to the Passion Fruit Sangria to the main course Squid with prawns on the tile...and ending with a biscuit cake with salted caramel... .everything divine...and the Master of this divine food is Joana who, in addition to being a spectacular cook, is also an easy-going, affable person, concerned about everything being well...they are a top team.
We wish you all the best and we will certainly be back because the menu is top notch.
Wonder Couple“

Parking: Small park. On the street there are only 3 spaces available“

“Great place for traditional Portuguese food Joe
Made with love to feed your body and soul.
Had a half portion of « cozido a portuguese «  that can be for two. However I clean everything simply because it was so good. Finished with a nice dessert « bolo de bolacha » home made as all you’ll eat here.
Do not hesitate to make a lunch or diner break in this great place, you’ll not regret“

“Fantastic experience, homemade food, excellent service and affordable prices, a great find in Viana do Castelo.

A cozy place very different from tourist places, knowing the true essence of the local people.

There is no card payment, only cash, something unimportant in relation to the service they offer.“

“Small restaurant with simple food. Price for 2 starters, 2 main courses, 2 desserts, 1 bottle of wine and a small bottle of water 40€. Good service! Attention: If you don't take bread and olives, you should definitely check the bill.“

Vegetarian options: Every day there is a vegetarian and a meat/fish option in the dishes of the day

Kid-friendliness: There is a corner with toys dedicated to children

“We have not eaten because we arrived at 9:45 p.m. since the kitchen closes at 9:30 p.m. I write it here so that it doesn't happen to anyone. The boy treated us kindly. It would be good to change the schedule on Google to avoid creating confusion“

“After several days in Apulia we decided to go have some burgers for dinner.

The flavor, work and effort that goes into each one of them is reflected in their flavor.

Very rich, very rich. To recommend and repeat.

Craft beer menu that is always a plus.

I dare say the best burgers in the area.

Congratulations for the effort.“

“Cozy atmosphere, very pleasant sea view and I don't think they take advantage of the location to charge high prices, like other restaurants do. Very good monkfish rice, but in my opinion a little too salty and with a Knorr flavor. There was nothing lost in reducing the salt. However, in my group not everyone thought this. I also ate fried cuttlefish with cuttlefish ink. In my opinion, the name of the menu is misleading. For me, it's stewed, sautéed cuttlefish, anything but fried. In the Algarve there is a dish of fried cuttlefish with ink, I thought I had ordered that, and then it had nothing to do with it. Or at least the employees should explain that it is stewed when the customer asks. We were disappointed that it wasn't what we expected. But it was good. A good restaurant. The meat looked divine, it's for a next visit. I recommend the visit“

“A great place to stop for something to eat or drink. Passing by on Camino, we stopped in for a break. This place feels welcoming, it is clean, styled well and modern. The food options are great and the quality was great. The beer on draught was fresh and fair priced. Choices on the menu were good. I would highly recommend this place if you are hungry. If it was in my neighbourhood, I would frequent it regularly. It was a great stop on our Camino. The service is polite, casual and in our experience, typically Portuguese, with servers being relaxed. They spoke English too, which was appreciated.“

“2023: The food is impressively good. We have come two days in a row because we liked it a lot.
Very good attention.
We were also traveling with our dog, a French bulldog, and they let us pass with him.
2024: It is our second year repeating, and we will return in two days. The seafood is super good, and the service is a 10. Very good price quality. Our favorite place in this area ❤️“

“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“

“Typical restaurant with excellent cuisine and extremely helpful and friendly staff. Outside tables are available with a pleasant view of the river and sunsets.
Even though the place was full, a table was made available to us in record time and Joana was extraordinary in giving us suggestions and accompanying our dinner. The dish that most captured my taste was a nice grilled sea bass shared with my wife and it was enough to satisfy our hunger. Definitely interesting sangria. Cost around €25 per head with abundant side dishes“

“1st time for me in Apulia.
Based for years at the suave mar hotel in Esposende every time I come to Portugal, I used to have lunch and dinner in this city or Porto, Braga, Viaba, Barcelos during my visits.
Due to Covid I haven't been here for 5 years. What a disappointment, the desposende restaurants have let themselves go.... little quality and exorbitant prices given the quality and taste offered. Esposende has also lost its aura...
So I fell back on the advice of my cousin, on Apulia which I discovered and found very pleasant, beautiful beaches bordered by windmills, historic buildings and a plethora of restaurants...
This one made me very welcome, I tasted very good grilled sardines, excellent seafood rice, served in quantity and quality: small shrimps, 6 very large prawns, 1/2 crab, cockles, mussels, small crabs, pairs, squid.... all served with humor, attention and kindness.
As soon as I return to Portugal I will go back there licking my lips?“

“Best pizza restaurant ever, staff are incredibly nice and all staff have a knowledgeable of English which makes it very tourist friendly!!! Pizzas are made in a stone oven and freshly served, prices range from 10€ to 15€ way too cheap for amazing food, they have a big variety of foods from pizzas to pastas and even burgers. Evening time the restaurant is always somewhat full but the staff always find accommodation to every need you may desire, inside the restaurant it may get very humid from the oven and the outside heat but in general everything is perfect the outside is covered with umbrellas in case of sharp sunlight. Perfect for big family dinners or singular meals. I absolutely recommend this restaurant for my life, i come at least once every vacation i spend in Esposende. Everytime i arrive it feels like a family meet and a home cooked dinner! BEST RESTAURANT IM ESPOSENDE BY FAR!!!!

Kid-friendliness: Staff are very nice to children and are not bothered by children.

Wheelchair accessibility: Inside and outside are very spacious only the bathroom may be a slight problem depending.“

“The francesinhas are really, really good. The spicy detail coming from the chorizo ​​and not the sauce is a healthy detail. Homemade unsalted fries complement an excellent meal. On top of that, it's cheap, compared to "the specialty houses in Porto".
The only drawback is the lack of air conditioning :( in the summer you sweat profusely inside :(“

“We were recommended by the house where we stayed and the truth is that we loved it. A very pleasant, quiet atmosphere. Exquisite, excellent treatment. He gave us great advice and we felt great and what can we say about the food... we ate a scandal goat and a picanha scary.If you go to Barcelos this is a mandatory stop.

Parking: Easy“

“A great place to dine in Viana. The staff is very friendly, the menu is varied, suitable for children, adults, meat and fish lovers. Of the week we were there, we had dinner there two days, and all the dishes were wonderful. A total success“

“We were unsure about eating there because when we came in it was empty. We decided to stay, and I’m glad we did it! We were hungry and the place is right on the Caminho! We ordered the Hamburger Completo, the nice lady attending us explained how they are prepared, and it was delicious!!! The beverage was cold, the food was perfect, and the service was great! Don’t doubt because it may be empty at certain times of the day, go for it! You will not regret! 5 stars, no doubt!!“

“(Translated by Google) I ate the francesinha in this house. I always eat francesinha without sauces because of my allergies. But in this house I ate it with sauce. Very good and not spicy. I recommend for the services provided to me also for the friendliness. Top(Original)Comi nesta casa a francesinha. Eu sempre como francesinha sem molhos por causa das minhas alergias. Mas nesta casa comi com molho. Muito bom e sem picante. Recomendo pelos serviços que me foi prestado também pela simpatia. Top“

“The dishes were very good and abundant...the service was a little stressful...they took our reservation at 2:30 and they wanted us to order immediately, without practically seeing the menu...I understand that they close at 3 but not having taken the reservation at 2 :30“

“It's been a while since we've had such a delicious pizza. The bresaola and the truffle are unbeatable! The service was also incredible. Nicole took great care of us and her partner even brought us water for the dog. The truth is that an incredible place we will return for sure and we recommend it 100%“

“Very nice and helpful service! At first we were just there to drink coke, but then we decided to eat something. We ordered the suggested fried fish dishes and were treated to two large portions. The fish seemed fresh and delicately prepared, it was served with rice and freshly made potato chips. All in all, I am very satisfied and can only recommend the restaurant!!!“

“I’m a pilgrim on the camino portuguese de santiago. And I’m italian ?Owner manages the albergue (which is super cute) as well, so I enjoyed the food in this nearby restaurant.Pilgrims: you’ll be happy to taste the pilgrim menu!Others: you’ll enjoy delicious food, above all fish!Don’t miss it! ??“

“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“

“Isabelle and Nelson received us with extreme kindness and introduced us to excellent local gastronomy, through home cooking that we will remember.Thank you for this warm moment. To all pilgrims, do not hesitate to take this step aside and move a few minutes away from the “official” path“

“The restaurant was very clean, modern and plenty of natural light, even on a rainy day. The food was plentiful and the price very reasonable. The pecanha was cooked perfectly to my liking. The service was fast, professional and pleasant. If you are looking for quality and very tasty meats, this is the place.“

“Very well located, close to the beach and the fish market, but with an unpretentious exterior, the Além do Mar com Sabores restaurant was a pleasant surprise.
The environment is simple but comfortable.
The service, from both Mr. Nelson and Ms. Cláudia, was excellent, attentive, warm and cordial without ceasing to be professional.
The food is excellent, tasty, in generous portions and at a fair price.
We will be back and highly recommend it.“

“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“

“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“

“Family atmosphere ? simple and without major setbacks, which is why I recommend it...5 ⭐

Vegetarian options: There are some vegetarian options

Parking: 30 spaces in the car park, but at certain times it is full

Wheelchair accessibility: Large spaces and wide doors for wheelchairs“

“Excellent fish and sea bass soup. However, the price of sea bass is shown by the kilo (€35/kg) without it being weighed in front of us. Conclusion: they charged us €42 for a sea bass for two people, which after all the math is equivalent to 1.2 kg of fish (not emptied), which seems much more than what we ate (any website recommends 300-400 g/person ). It also seems out of season that the restaurant manager, who also serves, is not in uniform like all the (very friendly) employees.“

“Very small interior, beautifully clean, lovely place. As previous reviews have stated, the young man who served us was incredibly helpful and spoke excellent English. It would be nice to sit outside in the square but today was a little cold. Great find.“
