“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 ❤️“

All the staff is dedicated to the service and is ready to satisfy our requests..
Very sheltered to all
And until next time

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“It is a place to go slowly and savor each and every one of the ingredients. Family and homemade food. We found it on our way to Portugal and it was a great success. In fact, when we return we repeat... They are very friendly. Tip: go hungry, the portions are large. Ends aviat Sunday!“

“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!“

“A beautiful restaurant 5 minutes from Viana do Castelo and also close to the Vilanova da Cerveira fair. The rice with lubricant and the cod ao Camelo were exquisite. The perfect attention. Looking forward to returning.

Parking: In front of the restaurant“

“Gula is a true gastronomic jewel, where culinary art and hospitality come together to create a unique experience. From the elegance of the decor to the meticulous preparation of the dishes, every detail is designed to delight the most demanding customers. The meat cuts are masterfully presented by Chef Sérgio Gonçalves, resulting in an explosion of flavors, while the wine list perfectly complements each meal. The service is carried out with immense professionalism and attention by the team, completing the refined and welcoming atmosphere of the restaurant. In short, Gula Steakhouse is a true gastronomic temple, where each visit is a celebration of the best that cuisine has to offer. I recommend!! ?“

“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 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“

“This was a fabulous surprise as a vegetarian in Portugal, I would definitely eat here again! They have a vegan chef special each night and I had a vegan bolognese in a puff pastry with a creamy spinach and mushroom sauce. I rarely finish my meal and I didn’t leave a crumb. Sooo good. My husband had a pork dish with a mushroom sauce that he ate every bite as well. Warm homemade bread with garlic butter and a tempura like squash blossom as a ‘treat from the chef’ were lovely. Unfortunately we had no room for dessert because we would have tried the cheesecake or crème brûlée. The service was friendly and attentive and an overall great experience. If they weren’t closed tonight I would be eating there! Don’t miss it!!“

“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“

“First time in Viana and first time at the place, very good attention received by the waiter who understood us and served us perfectly.
We ordered lasagna, francesinha (spectacular), garlic bread and mixed salad, and for dessert a cookie cake that I would repeat if it wasn't already full. Highly recommended establishment, we will be back.“

“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.“

“From booking to
The moment we left we were very well attended to, very good quality meat, excellent table service, ham starter that enchanted me from the beginning, he also made us an extra fried banana that was not included and he suggested it to us We really liked it and we will definitely come back
We ordered the meat mix which is great for up to 3 people“

“The food is quality at an excellent price by Spanish standards. We opted for dishes recommended by a friendly waiter who explained each one to us in Spanish. We tried the roast stingray with potatoes, which was exquisite. Totally recommended, in a quiet area and away from the hustle and bustle of nearby restaurants.“

“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!!!“

“Second time we go there to eat a good francesinhas, never disappointed, very nice boss and waiters, in addition to speaking a little French. Despite a full restaurant that we didn't book, we were able to find a place on the terrace, fast and efficient service ?“

“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“

“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 stopped by on our way to Santiago and I can tell that I have never had such an extraordinary service. The man who was working there was not only a plain waiter, but made an effort to make our stay in restaurant pleasant and joyful - he was a real host. The food was great, portions were big, we took pilgrim's offer for 13.90€ which includes small opener, soup, main meal, desert and coffee. The fact is that this restaurant will remain one of my biggest impressions of Portugal. ❤️“

“This is an excellent address! For a very reasonable price you eat excellent Portuguese dishes (generous portions) and you drink an excellent white wine recommended by the owner who makes the effort to speak French. It's simple, it's good, it's worth remembering!“

“(Translated by Google) This restaurant is located in the historic center of Viana do Castelo.It is very difficult to park near or close to the restaurant, which becomes unpleasant on rainy days.Food well prepared and tasty.Moderately priced compared to the competition.The service is efficient and fast.The environment is peaceful which makes the atmosphere comfortable.(Original)Este restaurante está localizado no centro histórico de Viana do Castelo.É muito difícil estacionar perto ou nas proximidades do restaurante o que se torna desagradável em dias de chuva.Comida bem confecionada e saborosa.Preços moderados comparativamente à concorrência.O serviço é eficaz e rápido.O ambiente é tranquilo, o que torna a atmosfera confortável.“

“We chose it through Google reviews and were welcomed by the owner (Mr. Vasco) who immediately captivated us with his friendliness. Small but cozy restaurant. We ate excellent grilled cod and were impressed with how quickly we were served. An excellent experience.“

“(Translated by Google) Very good, every time I ate there I enjoyed myself, the owners and the staff are super friendly, a good atmosphere, I recommend ????(Original)Très bien, chaque fois que j y ai mangé je me suis régalée, les patrons et le personnel sont super sympa, une bonne ambiance, je recommande ????“

“Super recommended. Very friendly and traditional place. Unbeatable food, a product that shows quality and they know how to treat it. We ate snails and peppers, which I highly recommend!! Very friendly and fast attention. And a very adequate bathroom, which is appreciated when you come from other less hygienic restaurants.
From 10!“

“Authentiek Portugees eten, zeer voorkomende vriendelijke bediening, prijs kwaliteit goed, fijn wit tafellaken met stoffen servet en goed snijdende messen, ik hou ervan! Steak was super mals, lekkere frietjes en salade, simpel zonder opsmuk maar lekker!“

“This restaurant is located right on the Camino and should definitely be visited if you need a tasty refreshment. The grill master conjures up excellent spare ribs. In any case, half a portion is enough for a hungry person. Plus rice with beans and a delicious mixed salad. The appetizers are of course also recommended. We didn't try desserts because we wanted to hike further. The prices are very moderate and absolutely fair. The service is very courteous and attentive. Overall, highly recommended. I would like to come again.“

“The best restaurant that I have visited in all of Santa Marta, it has good service, the food is great, the place is comfortable and familiar, they serve the best tortas that I have ever tried and also there are many events so they are very available ????“

“Visually, the place doesn't look much and the service isn't the fastest, which is why we assumed that the food couldn't be anything special either. BUT: We were pleasantly surprised by the good quality and taste of the burgers.“

“The best pizza I have ever eaten in my life, both the boss and the employees are super nice, if you go to Viana do Castelo, don't miss it, we were delighted, congratulations

Rooms: Comfortable, clean,

Nearby activities: Museums, the ship, Saint Lucia, etc.

Safety: It's very quiet“

“(Translated by Google) Pleasant surprise. I ate here the best kid I've ever eaten in a restaurant. Cozy atmosphere, with a fireplace, and everything very rustic. Place to repeat for sure...(Original)Agradável surpresa. Comi aqui o melhor cabrito que já comi até hoje num restaurante. Ambiente acolhedor, com lareira, e tudo muito rústico. Local a repetir, com toda a certeza..“

“Typical restaurant with very good fresh dishes and homemade desserts. Thanks to the cook for this wonderful meal... Thanks to the boss and the very pleasant waitresses.. good value for money

Kid-friendliness: Very available“

“(Translated by Google) An excellent lunch with two award-winning specialties of sea bass. The employees are super friendly and professional. Strongly recommend.(Original)Um almoço excelente com duas especialidades premiadas, de robalo do mar. Os empregados super simpáticos e profissionais. Recomendo vivamente.“

“At last notice we got recommended this restaurant and it lived up to my expectations. We started with Portugueses codfish xakes (Pastéis de bacalhao) and some Pato negra. Each choose a main course in my case perfectly cooked octopus, very tender. The almond cake, the chocolate mouse and the pao de lo were all really good. After we finished our coffees the super friendly and helpful waiter insisted on offering a glass of port wine, which we all very much enjoyed.“

“Very friendly service from the employee Leonel.
The room already appears dated and lacks the feeling of a welcoming place.
Weak seafood, but the fries that accompany it are excellent :).
If I come back????
No
Perserve the employee who is the best the restaurant has.“

“Nine kilometers into our Camino trek, we stumbled upon a welcome sight: Areia Cozinha na Praia. Exhausted but optimistic, we bellied up to the table.

The Sopa de Peixe e Camarao, a delectable hearty fish and shrimp stew, warmed my friends from the inside out. I savored the Creme de Ervilhas e Chourixo, a pea and chorizo cream soup, that was equally comforting.

It was the most high-falutin soup/meal and exactly what our weary legs craved. Refueled and spirits high, we were ready to tackle the next leg of our Camino adventure.“

“I was recommended by a friend in the area and it honestly did not meet the expectations with which I went.Local with traditional and seafaring aesthetics.Wide variety of Fish and Seafood.Attentive and very professional staff.We ordered a Soup (excellent *****) and Grilled Fish (dry and cold **).Maybe it wasn't the right day to order that type of dish.80% of the diners who were in his establishment were tasting some volandeiras and sea bass.“

“The restaurant located in the port is quite large and is divided into two parts, one for takeaway food where there were a lot of customers and another part for eating in the restaurant itself.Good service and speed.Good quantities, both in the special salad and in the grill.Quite acceptable quality/price.“

“This restaurant has a very calm and peaceful atmosphere, the food was excellent and well prepared. I would like to thank the employee, Mr. Carlos, who served us with great taste and who was very good-natured, fun and always attentive to the customers.“

“The service is very agile and attentive... The agility depends on what is ordered. The rice dish with baked octopus ? BEWARE because it is late and as the waiter already warns, it is dry, but it is good. The house bacalhau is very good with the onion and potatoes that accompany it. Don't forget a vinho verde to accompany the bacalhau and everything is ready. For dessert or after dinner, a cream puff. Also order a white Port wine to finish off the meal. If you are close to Christmas they can offer you a mini roscon de reyes.“

“Typical Portuguese restaurant, 5-star food and service. The manager says that the cod is the best in Viana, the chocolate mousse too and the wine doesn't even mention it. I'm not saying against it because we were satisfied with everything. See you any day, Manuel and “

“(Translated by Google) The seafood is very good and comes in quantity, with excellent price-quality. For those who don't like seafood, there are still meat dishes, but you will be a little disappointed, the specialty is seafood and nothing else. It was probably the best seafood I've ever had.(Original)O marisco é muito bom e vem com quantidade, com o preço-qualidade excelente. Para quem não gosta de marisco ainda tem os pratos de carne, mas vai ficar um pouco desapontado, a especialidade é marisco e nada mais. Provavelmente foi do melhor marisco que já comi.“

“We ate very well. 3x grilled chicken with fries, rice and salad and 2x cod with potato chips, onions and padrons.The service was attentive and friendly. We paid about 105 euros with house wine and 2 colas. We thought the price was very good for the quality and it was feasts...“

“Visited when busy, just wanted a quick lunch after a long trip back from Lisbon. This place was a pleasant surprise among all the fast food joints in the mall. We sat out on the balcony overlooking the city and were served extremely well by all the staff and the food was just right!“

“We went to the restaurant at 12 noon on the holiday and had a free choice of seats. The service was super friendly, we were shown the "entrades" and we were allowed to choose what we wanted. Also very tasty.Our soups and main courses were very good. Taste was top and top prepared.We were with our children, for toddlers there are toddler chairs and children's crockery.Can only recommend the restaurant. Price performance is right here.“
