“We were recommended to try this restaurant and it did not disappoint. I ordered the grilled fish and received a whole fish plus sides. Delicious. We arrived when it opened and it filled up quite fast. Service was lovely. Such a nice local feel.“

“Ate there twice, one lunch and one dinner. The service is nice and professional.The food is great, very tasty like a gourmet restaurant,the vegetarian risotto was excellent. Wine list is a big deal there,it is like a book and all the wine ceremonies are a bit too pompous to my taste and at the end when you order a glass they serve about a quarter of the glass. Over all it was nice and tasty but way too expensive for what you get .“

“Family atmosphere, very good food.The girl who served us was very friendly and welcoming.Very well served portions and it is possible to take what was not consumed, they were so friendly that in order not to take just the meat and potatoes they added a little rice, very nice of them.Affordable price. I recommend“

“The best restaurant in Portugal.
Excellent food, excellent staff, fair prices.
Chef Carolina awarded by the Michelin guide.
Personalized service.
Suggestions from the team and chefs, as good as it gets.
Professional and dedicated team.
I regret not living in Régua so I can go there more often.
I will certainly be back.“

“It was our second time at this restaurant. The location is excellent, next to (and overlooking) a small waterfall on the Teixeira River.
Now there is new management.
We ate breast accompanied by salad, rice, potatoes and black beans. Everything was good, but the rice was great.
We also ate Peasant Steak with mushroom sauce, accompanied by rice and potatoes. Using my husband's words: "It was divine."
The atmosphere remains very pleasant and the service is very good.“

“Most delicious and tender oven baked octopus with potatoes, broccoli, olives.
Came without reservation, everything was reserved but we got squeezed in.

Vegetarian options: Most delicious white bean stew. Very tasty.“

“Absolutely delicious ! I had the grilled chicken which, unbeknownst to me, came with rice, fries and a salad and it was simply delectable. Friendly staff too, great recommandations in wine and the prices were very affordable, I highly recommend this place !“

“Delicious food. Had veal with risotto, which tasted heavenly. The host is friendly and accommodating. The prices are good and you leave full for reasonable money. Preferably a place I will come again. The place looked a bit closed when we arrived (7.30pm), but don't be fooled. ?“

“We went as a family, with children.
The food was a success. The fries menus were huge and everything we ordered was great.
Normally we go to more traditional Portuguese cuisine restaurants, but this choice was a success.

Vegetarian options: They have several vegetarian dishes on the menu, including burgers.

Kid-friendliness: Children are allowed.

Wheelchair accessibility: The place has stairs outside, so it is not accessible for wheelchairs.“

“The best restaurant we went to this week we spent in Douro (we came more than once). Super welcoming place with homemade and honest food. Mr. Joaquim made us want to come back with his kindness and care in the treatment. We also had the opportunity to meet Dona Custódia, the chef in the kitchen who, in addition to being a great cook, always brings a smile on her face.
We will definitely come back and refer the site to all our friends.“

“The best grilled chicken I ever ate in my life!! with its accompanying rice, salad and potatoes.
Very good attention and service!!
The lower part was all for our group of 20.
Without a doubt a place to return to many times.
I don't have photos because I dedicate myself to eating and drinking“

“Very good traditional restaurant. The welcome, the service, the meal, the wines, everything was perfect. I sincerely recommend this restaurant. Originally from Switzerland, we were very well advised on what food and wine to order. In addition, the prices were very reasonable.
Thank you for this good time spent in your restaurant.“

“Veal strips with salad and fries were excellent, very tasty, they looked so good that we didn't even take photos! The perfect homemade chocolate mousse dessert, perhaps the best coffee we've had in years! Price you can see for yourself!!“

“One of the best restaurants I've been to in recent years! ?? This charming spot offers a delightful mix of Italian and Portuguese local cuisine. They have a wood oven for baking perfect pizzas and calzones. Though I haven't tried the pasta, it looks amazing! The Portuguese dishes I tried were fantastic, and the desserts are simply divine. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend! ???? #Foodie #ItalianFood #PortugueseCuisine #BestRestaurant #PizzaLover #FoodieFind

“After reading some comments, I was a little afraid of risking a family lunch at Xanoca! Contrary to what I read, we were well received, the food was very well prepared, with more than enough and generous portions, with very acceptable prices! I can't say it's a great place, but it was pretty good!“

“Seja bom ou mau, caro ou barato. Sem dúvida nenhuma e está à prova de todos e visto pelos comentários, que neste momento atual é um dos melhores a servir Leitão ? parabéns Leitao à Hugo pelo bom serviço. Um dos melhores na nossa cidade ??“

“We want to express our sincerest gratitude to the Douro a Vista restaurant for providing a truly memorable experience. From the warm welcome to the delicious food, every moment was simply unforgettable. The team demonstrated exemplary professionalism and exceptional care in every detail, ensuring that we felt truly pampered throughout our meal. The environment, combined with the spectacular view, created a magical atmosphere that made our visit even more special. We are immensely grateful for the wonderful experience and look forward to returning soon!
A big thank you from all the guests who were present at my in-laws' 50th birthday, whether they were Portuguese, French or Swiss, everyone was delighted.“

“Restaurant located in the Six Senses Douro Valley hotel.
Prestigious place, with a sublime atmosphere where details such as ambiance, comfort, lighting, are followed to the letter.
On the 31/05th, I went to this restaurant for dinner and with the hot day, we stayed on the terrace. Adequate ambient music, an atmosphere with great class and good taste. All framed with a wonderful view over the Douro River.
The cod fillet was divine, offering perfect flakes and the ideal touch of salt. I felt a soft crunch on the skin, counterbalancing the softness of the very well seasoned lupine puree.
Unfortunately I don't give 5 stars for the service. In fact, the service definitely deserved 3 stars, especially for the sommelier.
We ordered wine to accompany the meal and were not given any introduction, explanation of grape varieties, methods, etc. as indeed, it is the work of a professional sommelier. In general, the entire attitude of indifference towards us, the lack of empathy and sympathetic dialogue has created a glaring gap. Basically, there was a lot of superiority for little professionalism.
The same lack of friendliness was felt by the only employee working that day.
I close by saying that in a hotel and restaurant of this range, these foundations of good service should be natural and mandatory.
In a restaurant experience with dishes with so much technique and quality of presentation and ingredients, being tarnished due to a lack of tact on the part of the wait staff is serious.“

“(Translated by Google) Beautiful space and very quiet environment. Friendly service, but inefficient in the proposal of options to eat. No tapas or list service were suggested, just simple dishes of the day. At another table, another collaborator presented a larger "range" of alternatives - we had already placed the order - It was the main reason for the classification. After the start of lunch, it was suggested to bring more fillets and/or accompaniments if desired. The hake fillet and potatoes were delicious. Biscuit cake is also very good. I would like to point out that we were at the restaurant next door waiting for the table to be cleaned, when I noticed that there was a tapas house - with good recommendation "maps"... Easy parking in front or on the street. Cheap price with coffee included in the dish of the day.(Original)Espaço bonito e com ambiente muito sossegado. Atendimento simpático, mas pouco eficiente na proposta de opções para comer. Não foram sugeridas tapas nem serviço de lista e sim apenas pratos simples do dia. Em outra mesa, outra colaboradora apresentou um maior "leque" de alternativas - já tínhamos feito o pedido - Foi a principal razão da classificação. Após o início do almoço foi sugerido trazer mais filetes e/ou acompanhamento se assim o desejasse. O fillete de pescada e as batatas estavam saborosas. Bolo de bolacha também muito bom. Gostaria de salientar que estávamos na porta do restaurante do lado a espera da limpeza da mesa, quando reparei que havia uma casa de tapas - com boa recomendação "maps"... Estacionamento fácil em frente ou na rua. Preço barato com café incluído no prato do dia.“

“Good restaurant in Vila Real.I went to try the famous Bacalhau à Maranus and it was really good.Service and staff concerned with good service, despite the restaurant being full with all tables occupied.It's worth passing through Vila Real and stopping to eat at this restaurant, the meat is also promising, but wait for another opportunity.“

“A completely self-confident and excellent restaurant. He doesn't gamble, he has his permanent excellent menu and that's what he looks after.Even though I was a foreigner, I felt at home, like in my home restaurant. Hospitality, good mood and quality ingredients. An excellent combination. Hasta luego, amigos!!!!! Hasta luego Obrigado!!!! Good luck ♥️ Hugs...“

“This restaurant tries to simulate life in an old house in Portugal, in any village. The detail of eating by the light of oil lamps, the uniforms of the employees, the food cooked in a huge fireplace and the raw state of the construction achieve the objective. Well prepared food and attentive service. Cream milk is simply delicious! Well worth the trip. I recommend“

“They have a great selection of teas here which you can't find in other places around. Those taste especially good when they give you a little chocolate to go along with it. The view is everything of course and the service is good as well.“

“I will not hesitate to say that the roast lamb from the oven made the dinner one of the outstanding meals of our 21 day tour of Portugal.

Friendly, welcoming, good advice and great food, the team is outstanding and the menu with plenty of choices.

So we are here again for dinner and looking forward to the chef's version of Bacalhau.

Waiting in anticipation.“

“This small, simple “tasca” has outstanding food and service. The best roast kid (cabrito) I have ever eaten, after 35 years in Portugal - tender, succulent, in a perfect light sauce, with delicious roast potatoes and tasty pilau style rice. House wine is excellent for the price. Good desserts. Fast, friendly service. Amazing value for money.“

“(Translated by Google) Pastry shop and bakery with high quality products. The cakes are fresh and very good. The pastry is diverse and very tasty. I recommend the mixed snacks which are great.(Original)Pastelaria e padaria com produtos de muita qualidade. Os bolos são frescos e muito bons. A pastelaria é diversa e muito saborosa. Recomendo os lanches mistos que são ótimos.“

“Best barbecue chicken I've ever eaten in my life!! The owner is very friendly, attentive and helpful! The food is incredible, I highly recommend it, 10/10!!! P.s.: so good that we forgot to take photos!

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian sausage“

“Super fast service!
Nice outdoor terrace.

Service? Wonderful! Super friendly.
Large doses at economical prices (half a dose was enough for two people).

We liked it so much that we came back two days in a row! And try Resende's typical sweet: cavacas
A fluffy cake with sugar icing“

“The best you can find in this beautiful city is in the region.
Balance between price and quality! From the friendly and attentive staff, to José and Mariana?, everything was excellent. Without missing out, of course, a huge word of appreciation and gratitude to the wonderful lady cook!!
Always, always coming back!“

“From the outside it looks completely inconspicuous. We were very positively surprised.
Great service, the food perfect! and it was totally authentically Portuguese!
My fish was grilled on charcoal and the taste was simply WOW!!!
The service was super friendly and at the end there was also a schnapps??
We give it a whole 6 out of 5 *!!!!
We'll meet Again!
No question!“

“Very local restaurant with a beautiful view of the city and vineyards. Friendly staff. Very reasonable prices and ok food. We got a very large and tasty arm of octopus. The accessories were unfortunately somewhat boring.Overall a good experience.“

“Nice discovery, very pleasant welcome.Made of groceries of local products, upstairs made of restaurant.Very good cassoulet, good quantity, well served. it's tradition in lamego Thursday is the day of the feijoada dish ?Affordable price .Reserve the table, the restaurant is small during the summer and is always full.I recommend ?“

“Impeccable team, they welcomed us after hours and still served fantastic food, with a stunning view and a super careful and pleasant atmosphere ? To come back ??

Vegetarian options: Wonderful salad, magnificent soup ?

Kid-friendliness: Baby stroller space“

“We learnt from our waiter that Tasca means pretty much like “a hole in the wall “ in Portuguese and Jota means J. It was a delightful dinning experience for me and my wife. The food was fresh and tasty, and the presentation was fabulous. Worth two glasses of wine, we only paid about 50 euros. Highly recommend to anyone who visits Lagos!“

“Very good place to eat on lunch.
I see alot of people only speak about the wine tasting, yes, they also do that, but also they have restaurant and a place for events. Its a pitty, because the restaurant is really good.

They have the option for reservations by phone calls, with the option of choose dishes, or just pick at the table (fewer options).

Vegetarian options: People can ask special options.

Parking: Big park with alot of places.

Kid-friendliness: The restaurant has good space and is adequate for children.“

“Excellent Price/Quality ratio.
2 Francesinhas and 4 Colas were just €19.50. The sauce doesn't seem to be homemade, but for the price you pay you can't ask for more.
The pizzas look great, I regret not trying them.
Definitely to come back when I return to this area.“

“Excellent. The cook is very commercial. When I came at lunchtime to ask for a reservation for the evening. We had difficulty making ourselves understood. The man did not want to make us a meal, citing that it was closed in the evening even though on the internet it says open until 11 p.m. But after 15 minutes of discussion. We were able to book for the evening. This young woman took our order and respected our choice of fried cod salad. Very very good . And at a very reasonable price. I really enjoyed it. Typically local atmosphere. Muriel Gautron

Parking: Free after 7 p.m.“

“Incredible food and wonderful, clean environment, however the service left a little to be desired... The man who served us, despite being polite, didn't have much patience to listen to our requests and even suggested that we should order food first and then the food I think he lacked a certain skill in dealing with us and we were scared by his direct way of talking about how we should make the request.“

“I fall in love with this place! The road to get there it’s a feeling but worth the value! The woman was alone to do everything, she serve and she cook! Her husband came to help. They were so kind and fun, even if we didn’t understand Portuguese!!! We were all my family (12) and we were receive and treat as we were in a Portuguese dinner family ! The menu is write done on a paper, and they serve the best Bachàlao I ate in all my trip to portugal ! I strongly recommend this place if you want to feel and eat like if you were invited in a Portuguese family. It was so good !!!“

“(Translated by Google) Of the few bars that are open at 7:00 p.m., all the others are closed. Good but without more a few reeds and that's it. Good attention but nothing else. It seems Swiss from 19:00 everything closed restaurants bars shops everything. A pity. The motorhome site is very cheap, €3 to spend the night and free electricity, download and load. Little range of bars and restaurants around. Landscape worth seeing. And very nice people.(Original)De los pocos bares abiertos que hay a las 19:00, todos los demás cerrados. Bien pero sin más unas cañas y listo. Atención buena pero sin más. Parece suiza a partir de las 19:00 todo cerrado restaurantes bares tiendas todo. Una pena. El sitio de autocaravanas muy bien barato 3€ pernoctar y luz descarga y carga gratuita. Poco abanico de bares y restaurantes en la contorna. Paisaje digno de ver. Y gente muy agradable.“

“A warm and friendly family owned and run restaurant. Great local food, outstanding value and delightful service. As it happens the President of Portugal agrees as he too visited and enjoyed recently - photos on the wall to prove it. A very heart lunch for 4 adults and a bottle of lovely local wine came in at 81 Euros. Highly recommended“

“(Translated by Google) I've been going there for many years, I've always liked the friendliness and service of those who worked there(Original)Frenquento ha muitos anos, sempre gostei da simpatia e atendimento de quem lá trabalhava“

“On an intensely hot day, the terrace covered with vines was ideal, especially because eating like this in Douro is very regional.
Well prepared food.
1/2 dose of paw secrets with pineapple was enough for 2.
The wine that accompanied it was on point.
Good quality/price ratio.“

“Dear owner of Café O marquês, I would like to thank you for the great accommodation I had on my research trip into the world of gastronomy and wine. Always very grateful for the wines he offered me to taste with my partner. Receiving a wine from a small Portuguese producer became a very pleasant experience, if not the best... I'm José, Brazilian, who stayed at your establishment and we shared a special moment. On behalf of Vila Azul Itaparica, we invite you to Brazil to toast with us. Thank you very much. José Alfredo Brazilian sommelier and wife.“

“The food was not only very tasty, but the price/performance ratio was also right here
Service good, but can be improved - since we are on vacation we had time
Ambiance / view of the Douro River amazing...
Only recommended if you are in the area“
