“These are the kind of restaurants we love: Slightly old-fashioned, stylish, excellent quality food & with kind service to match. Carvalho is close to the thermal bath facilities, and the clientele is mostly on the north side of their 50ties, dressed nicely to go out to a quality establishment and determined to enjoy themselves in typical understated Portuguese and French style (no touristy boorish excesses here!!). The key waiting staff were a pleasure to see in action, they orchestrated the dining room to perfection. The female waitress with a hint of Father Ted's Mrs Doyle, but only in as far as her maternal slightly conspiratorial smile towards her clientele reminded us of her. The food was marvellous, good quality, tasty, traditional fare. The wine was excellent. The cooked pear in red wine in particular fine desert, we don't see it enough on menus these days - my husband nabbed the last one!“

“After all, Saints in the house perform miracles. Being from Areias, I had been wanting to try Madeira Taste for months. It was missing! From the bolo do caco, to the cod to the kebabs, everything is great! The poncha is fabulous... Diverse menu with all the flavor of Madeira! Areias (or Além Rio) and Santo Tirso came out on top...to repeat! Several times...“

“Very nice discovery, the cuisine is simple and excellent, a nice, typical place and an impeccable waiter, very nice. I highly recommend . All is well !!!! Taste their dried meat as an aperitif, and of course the house Portuguese white wine!“

“A great experience! Friendly atmosphere, helpful staff and very good food.

We ordered garlic bread with cheese (starter), cod puff pastry and a vimaranes francesinha.
To finish, we tried the Dona Maria sweet, an excellent combination of chocolate mousse with camel baba, biscuits and cream.

Without a doubt, I will repeat it when I return to Guimarães.“

“(Translated by Google) A great experience, you choose your fish in the window and it is grilled to perfection. A treat...with potatoes, salad and spinach with garlic. The staff and Monsieur Louis are super friendly and speak French. I recommend, to do after visiting the castles of Guimaraes.(Original)Une super expérience, on choisit son poisson dans la vitrine et il est grillé à souhait. Un régal...avec pommes de terre, salade et épinards à l'ail. Le personnel et monsieur Louis sont super aimables et parlent français. Je recommande, à faire après la visite des châteaux de Guimaraes.“

“Crazy restaurant... barely noticeable from the outside... then a waiter who doesn't speak a word of English but does an extremely good job and then... A steak that you don't expect. One of the best steaks you can eat.
An absolute recommendation...????“

“(Translated by Google) Friendly, practical and available staff! For those who live in the hustle and bustle and need a tasty and quick meal, there's no better place!(Original)Staff simpatico, prático e disponível! Para quem vive na agitação e precisa de uma refeição saborosa e rápida não há melhor sítio!“

“(Translated by Google) Very tasty and well seasoned food. Clean environment, fast service and the best: the menu is on Facebook daily, which is really practical (I could have it here on Google too! ????). I recommend!(Original)Comida muito saborosa e bem temperada.

“(Translated by Google) Fried codfish 5 stars. Welcoming service. Attentive and helpful staff. Affordable prices. on repeat(Original)Bacalhau frito 5 estrelas. Atendimento acolhedor. Staff atencioso e prestável. Preços acessíveis. A repetir“

“It was not our first time when this restaurant was “on our radar”, as we visited the region one year before, and wanted to try it out. At that time, my girlfriend felt like the menu was focusing too much on fish, and I can fairly say that, one year later, wow, was she wrong :).

The location itself, whilst not very impressive from the outside, is very cozy and well designed on the inside, just perfect for a relaxed, yet memorable dining experience. The staff was very attentive and their English was spot on (I am Portuguese, but my girlfriend prefers English, so all of the dishes were explained and presented accordingly).

It’s not by chance that one of the menus was called the “Balanced” menu, as for us - who like fine dining, and are no strangers to 1 star Michelin restaurants, especially in Portugal - it was, perhaps, the most perfectly combined set of dishes we ever had.
Chef Antonio Loureiro succeeded in designing the menu in such an incredible way, that every dish (and I do not exaggerate when saying EVERY dish) was as tasty as it comes. The flavors, the attention to detail, but most importantly, the selection of ingredients, were the things that impressed us most. Looking back, it was hard to pick just one dish that stood out…because we liked them all.

We highly recommend this place, as it’s one of those hidden gems, which you should not miss, if you’re a foodie!“

“What a cosy place to eat. We went there two times and the food was always good. During the lunch time they serve typical Portuguese "diária" when you can eat for 7,5€. We ate there during dinner time as well, when you can ask food from the meny. We tried francesinha and naco and both of them were very tasty. Recomend!“

“(Translated by Google) Nice place with good wood oven pizzas. Friendliness, good coffee ☕️, free Wi-Fi. There is no ATM. ????????(Original)Local agradável com boas pizzas em forno a lenha. Simpatia,bom café ☕️, Wi-Fi grátis. Não tem multibanco. ????????“

“Only 4 stars because...Excellent suckling pig, perfect service but...No menu displayed or presented and o surprise...while we tell you that the letao is accompanied by salads and batatas fritas, everything is extra. Note that letao is already more expensive than the surrounding restaurants. We were asked twice if we wanted more but... no one told us if extra in the name.Better info needed“

“S. Gião in Guimarães is a culinary masterpiece! This exceptional restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. The pasta with shrimps was cooked to perfection, with succulent shrimp and a flavorful sauce. The tiramisu was creamy and divine, and the mushrooms were tender and expertly prepared. But the real surprise was the Smashed Eggs in appetizers - a game-changer!

Every single dish was top-notch, with fresh ingredients, precise technique, and presentation that was almost too beautiful to eat. Almost.

The service was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home.

S. Gião is a must-visit for anyone in Guimarães looking for an exceptional dining experience. Don't miss out on their outstanding pasta, tiramisu, mushrooms, and Smashed Eggs - your taste buds will thank you!

Highly recommend S. Gião for a truly unforgettable meal in Guimarães. Book your table now and get ready for a culinary journey!“

“I was lucky enough to eat with a group in April, during a visit to Guimarães.The attention, excellent. Very kind and nice staff. The waiter who served us, very attentive and pleasant, attentive at all times.The food, rich and in good quantity.Recommendable.“

“Nous avons eu l’occasion de manger ici et nous n’avons pas été déçus. Le service est très agréable et le gérant est au petits soins pour ses clients ! Nous avons très bien mangé ! Le plateau de fromage était bien rempli et varié, le vin servi frais était très bon ! Et les plats succulents (le ragoût avait cuit pendant plusieurs heures). ? Je pense qu’il est indispensable de préciser que lorsque nous sommes venus, le gérant gérait tout seul (service et cuisine). Bravo monsieur, nous vous remercions pour ce bon moment. ?“

“Great restaurant, vitela assada super good
Air-conditioned room, warm welcome from the boss and employees!
All for a controlled budget: 49 euros for 5 people, drinks, fruit salad and coffee included!

I recommend this restaurant located in Nas Taipas.
We will come back with pleasure ?
Muita obrigado“

“(Translated by Google) Best dog with francesinha sauce we've ever had. Nice space, attentive service but a little slow. Great quality price. to come back. I recommend.(Original)Melhor cachorro com molho de francesinha que já comemos. Espaço simpático, serviço atencioso mas um pouco lento. Preço qualidade ótimo. A voltar. Recomendo.

Vegetarian options: Havia opção de francesinha vegetariana

Kid-friendliness: Existe menu infantil

Parking: Em frente ao restaurante“

“Very good meat. Very well decorated in all its dining rooms.
Good attention.
A little dark for dinner.
It's surprising what hides inside those ugly walls.
You have to pay attention because it goes unnoticed.“

“I've known Café Oscar since 1999, when I arrived in Portugal...from England.It's changed its image in recent years... now it's much more chic. But prices remain reasonable.I don't think there is another cafe in Guimarāes that compares to this one. Reminds us of la belle époque. ?“

“Toca do Coelho is a true gastronomic treasure where the friendliness of Mr. Félix and the entire team is as warm as the dishes served. The food is excellent, each dish a true culinary masterpiece that delights the palate. The environment is welcoming and invites you to enjoy memorable moments. I recommend it without any hesitation, everything is excellent, from the service to the last bite. It's a constant shame when we have to leave this place after such good times, but with the certainty that there will always be an irresistible desire to return...“

“The best service ??
The best place I've ever eaten snacks, everything was super tasty and well prepared.
We opted for the €25 menu, which included several snacks, cod, steak, 1L of wine and we finished with dessert and coffee.
Perfect place for those who like to socialize and enjoy good food and good wine!“

“We were four people and we did very well.
The choice fell on the Minho and Douro white wine menu.
The four-course menu is always the chef's choice and is only known when they arrive at the table.
The initial bread, crunchy, with sourdough, presided over by well-chosen olive oil and butter with… octopus roe, all received top marks.
Excellence dominated all the dishes, the soup, the fish, the meat and the final sweets, without exception. It is not important to describe them as they will not be the same on a subsequent visit.
The finish was enriched with variations of the abbey of Priscos and petit-gateaux with carrot, again with top marks.
Very professional service.
Very pleasant atmosphere on a Sunday when only one other table was occupied.
To revisit on a special day.“

“Ao ver a placa na entrada, fiquei tanto surpreso quanto intrigado. Vocês destacam uma comida dita "caseira" e a prioridade é dada ao sabor.
Depois, ficamos ainda mais surpreendidos com a recepção, pois o humor do proprietário, a não levar ao pé da letra. No final, realmente sentimos que a comida era caseira, mas mais do que isso, descobrimos uma culinária fina e bem trabalhada. Eu pedi as bochechas de vitela, uma explosão de sabores, uma carne muito macia e suculenta. Dá para sentir o longo tempo de cozimento e o trabalho por trás desse prato, estava simplesmente delicioso ?.

O ambiente é acolhedor, perfeito para um encontro ou para comer em total tranquilidade. Recomendo vivamente. Não hesite em explorar as ruas pequenas e não se detenha nos primeiros preconceitos. Espere até o final antes de criticar ??.“

“The space is very friendly, large terrace, restaurant and a more rustic space, warm in winter and cool in summer! The food is like the motto of the house, the best francesinhas in Taipas and for me, in the top 5 of any place. Well filled with all the ingredients, with a classic, reddish, thick and 'beer' sauce, without kilos of butter as is now the fashion in most French restaurants. It's another rarity...the fries are homemade!!“

“Friendly service and welcoming atmosphere, plus delicious food. Pleasant space to chat calmly during the meal. The dining room is on the 1st floor, but there is an elevator.

Parking: Parking is public and is right in front of the restaurant. The parking meter only accepts cash and no apps associated with parking are available.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is possible to enter and go up to the 1st floor with a wheelchair, as long as it is one of standard measurements. If it is a particularly wider wheelchair, you may have some difficulty accessing it.“

“Very pleasant surprise with this restaurant. We ordered rojões and feijoada from Trás-os-Montes as the menu of the day, served with caldo verde, regional bread and house wine, of excellent quality, for just €6.5!
The staff were very attentive and quick.
Relaxed atmosphere in the historic center of Guimarães.
Congratulations to you ?????“

“Simply one word: I LOVED IT!!!Very good food, well prepared, very homemade and of high quality. Meat that falls apart in your mouth and has an excellent flavor. The fresh sangria is great. Excellent and personalized service. Family and welcoming atmosphere. I really enjoyed seeing the wood ovens. D. Margarida is an excellent host.I'll be back to try the francesinhas, our mouths are all watering.WE LOVE IT!! WE LOVE IT!! WE LOVE IT!!“

“I visited this space after reading the reviews written here and I couldn't have left more satisfied! The space is beautiful and very peaceful. The menu is extensive and has options for all tastes and budgets. The dishes chosen were divine! It is, without a doubt, a reference in the city of Vila Nova de Famalicão.“

“(Translated by Google) I eat a lot of pizza and it's one of my favorites. The staff is also friendly. Fridays are impossible here because you have to wait a long time, everyone wants pizza from here on that day. But it's worth the wait, I recommend going another day so you don't have to wait too long.(Original)Eu como muuiiita pizza e é das minhas favoritas. O pessoal também é simpático. Sextas feiras são impossíveis aqui porque tem que se esperar muito tempo, todo mundo quer pizza daqui nesse dia. Mas vale a pena a espera, recomendo ir noutro dia para não ter que esperar muito.“

“Great surprise in Guimaraes. It is well located in a residential area and not very touristy but close to the Castelo. It was full of local people and students eating. They have several dishes on the menu of the day and we had a delicious and well prepared picanha (meat). Highly “

“Excellent place, we arrived at 1:30 pm on a Sunday, my husband and I, there was already a line to get in...they were impeccable in service, tasty food and a fair price... I intend to return, but I will call ahead to make an appointment, I want try the roast lamb.“

“Good discovery in Guimarães. We started with a beautiful ham and cheese board and then continued with a good seafood Fideua. At the end we tried a divine mint semufrio and a fantastic prestige cake. All accompanied by a local sauvignon blanc white wine. To repeat“

“A group went here to dine. The main course of lamb knuckle was delicious, without the smell of sheep. The environment was comfortable and the staff was kind. The environment looked clean and comfortable. Ordering a glass of red wine went well with the meal. There were also many locals dining in the store.“

“First of all, this criticism should have been made earlier, so as not to forget to do it, I am doing it now. Now, it would be difficult to really forget to evaluate this pleasant and welcoming space. The food is homemade, made with love and care. The starters are delicious, especially the blood sausage. Arriving at the main course, your belly is already full, with so many good starters. The main course afterwards, even though it is practically full, makes you want to eat until you can no longer eat, everything is delicious. To summarize things a little, I'll move on to dessert, the French toast and what a French toast! One of the best I've ever eaten in my life, I don't know what the secret is in the recipe, but I recommend leaving a little space in your belly to taste it. In this case I was served by the friendly Joana and Eugénia, where their friendliness also won me over, personally, in addition to the food, I pay a lot of attention to customer service and here they also deserve a rating of 5. Final summary, 5 stars, to come back and repeat , especially with an empty belly because here the belly comes out happy.“

“I visited this restaurant for the first time. Located at the exit of Famalicão to the north, within
of a grove of trees, away from the road, a very pleasant and cool place now that we are having
great temperatures to explore these beautiful lands of Portugal.
In the first impression before entering the house, you are " suspicious" . When you open the door
When you enter the space, you immediately feel at ease because you have the " crime scene"
as if to say, the place where our food will be prepared. Then a counter appears and a
beautiful rustic space, cozy, with beautiful decoration typical of this type of
restaurants, stone walls and then the owner appears. We are received with all the
friendliness, a lot of calm, and knowledge.
After a description of the menu, ("old" menu: mentioned here my least pleasant note)
We chose a Barrosã beef rib. Spectacular, very tender meat, grilled in
point, simple seasonings, but which provided a beautiful accompaniment to the palate.
Accompanied with some potatoes and greens, very well prepared. Speaking of
Accompaniment, the mature red wine recommended by the host, was the house wine that
it was privately produced in the Meda region. Excellent!
To finish, we chose a burnt cream, which was an excellent choice.
It will be one to repeat, even experimenting with other dishes such as duck rice,
cod in various ways, roast veal, etc.
Finally, the price of this time spent here and leaving here with complete satisfaction with all this
repast, is surprisingly positive!
Congratulations sir. Rogério Ferreira, big hug“

“We visited this restaurant during Feira Afonsina and so the menu was limited to a few dishes. As a suggestion, we ate “Porcalhada”, an original dish from this place. We really enjoyed the experience! Very welcoming and affordable restaurant.“

“We stopped in town on the way, looking for a place to eat. Looking at google reviews we decided on this place. We ordered cod and meat, as well as an octopus starter. We also have desserts and coffees. Everything was delicious, it was very filling, homemade and cheap. We paid for four people, including all drinks, bread, meals...less than €60. To repeat, totally. To highlight the "bolacha" dessert: unbeatable.“

“(Translated by Google) A wonderful find in Braga, excellent service, a pleasant cozy and comfortable environment, the food from starters to desserts, a very extensive wine list, congratulations on the project. on repeat(Original)Um belíssimo achado em Braga, atendimento excelente um ambiente agradável aconchegante e confortável, a comida desde as entradas as sobremesas, uma carta de vinhos muito vasta, parabéns pelo projeto. A repetir“

“We ordered about five dishes plus olives. They were all absolutely delicious and the taste sensations really diverse. We were also very full at the end. The service was excellent - helpful and friendly. We're staying nearby. I suspect we will have another meal there before we leave.“

“We love the Solar do Arco restaurant. For me, one of the best in Guimarães.We liked the service and the environment.But, without a doubt, the food is delicious. It even surprised us. Very well served portions and very reasonable prices, especially given the location within the historic center. The cod and fillet were very good. Good and cheap wine.I recommend!“

“We went to this restaurant based on a recommendation and we ended up very satisfied.
We ordered the mumadona cod, this dish was very good. And also the burger, which was delicious with its side of potatoes. It is an affordable place that I would return to.“

“Visited today..
I strongly advise...
We ate the tapas board, as recommended by the staff.
I don't regret anything...
Everything very good...
Friendliness and efficiency of the staff 5*..
To repeat...“

“An establishment with unique dedication, people who live their work with love for what they do, which you can find in few places. I fully recommend it, you will have a very pleasant experience. We customers just have to be grateful for having a place like this at our disposal. Thank you Forneria da vila?“

“Fantastic space.... Food very well prepared..... very tasty..... Personalized and extremely fast service..
The price is nothing special.....

Definitely worth revisiting.

Kid-friendliness: With an area for children to play.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor.“

“Husband and I had lunch at this restaurant during our walk at Afurada, a quaint fisherman village just across from Porto. We were attracted by the busy grill and many locals occupying the restaurant’s tables. We ordered grilled cod and grill squid; and the food took our breath away! Price was reasonable. Service was polite and prompt. Premises were clean. We couldn’t ask for more.“

“Without a doubt our best meal in 11 days in Portugal. Lively, warm interior. We were greeted immediately by management and staff as we were shown to our table. Service was spot on. And I do mean spot on. Each tapa we ordered was excellent as was the sangria. Excellent wine list. Great value for money. Rio's was booked solid so be sure to make a reservation. We prefer places with local "vibe" and local customers; Rio's on the night we were there was filled with Americans like us. Still, a first class experience. Would return without hesitation.“
