50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Oliveirinha

“Our Trip Advisor food and wine guide Enrico in Lisbon recommended we have dinner at "Manels" when visiting Porto. It did not disappoint. We met up with friends who met on the Lisbon tour to experience an authentic night of Portuguese local cuisine. We had four reserved seats at the bar pictured here with our friendly and attentive service Livia. She did an outstanding job recommending 3 of the most popular entrees for us to share. Appetizers came out first cod croquettes and octopus salad. While I might not have believed it, I had thirds of the octopus salad, it was absolutely delicious. Livia recommended the house "jar wine" which we would describe as a large carafe versus ordering a bottle of wine. It was smooth as velvet and topped off a perfect meal. After our meal, Livia walked us to the upstairs restaurant which was packed with locals. For us, the bar was the ideal location where we could hear better, learn about our food and wine from Livia, and experience such warm hospitality. The price for such an evening, splitting the check with our friends was only $59 USD including our tip. Portugal is an exceptional value for American tourists.“

“It's been more than 12 years since we stopped in Aveiro...we had once wanted to go in but it was impossible, they don't make reservations and the lines are tremendous... It must be for a reason!!
Today we had dinner, a menu of starters, fish and meat... they advise you and it is worth it, in everything because the treatment of both is 10!, homemade food and fresh raw materials!! No decorations, you don't need them!! Homemade desserts and a drink... We have been like at home! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! OBRIGADO!!“

“There were 4 of us and we left delighted. The service was fast and the waiter who served us was close and super nice. The food was exquisite: we ordered a shrimp risotto and a soupy seafood rice, with the bao bread for starters. Both the quantity and the quality of the product are unbeatable. This, added to impeccable service, made our dinner a magnificent experience, which we would undoubtedly repeat.
Totally recommended.“

“Unique experience. Everything impeccable. Delicious starters, grilled lettuce and tartlet with earthy flavors. 5-star cod loin and turbot with divine cauliflower. Finished with bread pudding with fantastic mango and passion fruit ice cream.“

“07/17/2024.
But this restaurant is just a gem.
Very effective in decoration while remaining simple.
On the other hand, the dishes are just magnificent,
The cod is in its place.
Or maybe it’s the place for cod.
good, tasty, quite plentiful.
The wines offered match the dishes.
The local beers offered are very good.
On the next visit, I order meat, which looks just as good.
I don't understand that some of the people next to me ordered chicken and fries, which is not on the menu, but which they were kind enough to serve to them ???.
Thank you for this dinner @bacalhau & orders.

Parking: Right in front of the restaurant

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs“

“Attentive and efficient fast service. Today I ate a divine stew but I'll be back to try the meat, which also looks great. Very complete wine list organized by regions and whites. It was busy and it seemed to be convenient to make an appointment and this contributed to the restaurant's only less pleasant note: a somewhat intense and unpleasant background noise.“

“Very well received by the staff who are very friendly.
Restaurant with a menu dedicated almost exclusively to cod and its derivatives. We ate cod with cornbread of very good quality and well prepared.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility is not the best, although it is possible to overcome the entrance steps.“

“Delicious food in a new and great concept to the city. The staff and chef were very helpful and friendly. The place isn't too big wich is great, has a "home confort" kind of vibe. It's better to make a reservation. Will for sure come back.“

“We chose randomly and decided to go for the good score, and we didn't regret it. We were very well looked after, everyone was very attentive, everything was wonderful, in addition to being excellent value, I recommend it and will be back.“

“Very good cuisine, especially on the savory part. We opted for the dish to share for two: prawns and rice, which was excellent. However, we were disappointed by the quantity-price ratio. We paid €80 for this dish composed of 3 prawns (for two, that's not much, and why an odd number?) and a portion of rice that was not very generous. Dessert a little too sweet and stuffy for my taste.
The service was very pleasant.“

“Nice terrace, with very friendly and efficient service. Tasty food arrived quickly. Faded crockery behind spoils the good image of the house.

Kid-friendliness: Has menus for children

Wheelchair accessibility: The street side and terrace“

“Quiet, well-maintained place.
High quality food with research and attention to flavor combinations.
Very welcoming, helpful and very polite staff.
To come back!!
Advised!
Congratulations to all the staff!! ❤️“

“So I got these little balls and the Mexican empanadas as starters, the chilli for main abd cheesecake for desert.The food is good. The chilli looks the same as in the menu, that's why I didn't take any pictures. In the menu it says to share but I was sharing it with my mom and the portion didn't make us satisfied, we even asked for more wrap pieces and even with that, it was not enough. I don't think it's a portion to share at all.Having said that, I would like to point out that if you are in a hurry, this restaurant is not for you. We stayed around two hours for this lunch ( the restaurant was never full, when we got there, one table besides ours, already eating, and then after we started eating, a few more tables).The restaurant offers mostly vegetarian options, with a selection of vegan options.I also felt like the person who was serving us maybe was new staff to the restaurant as they didn't have the answers when I asked some questions about the menu options being vegan or vegetarian as I was confused about some items on the menu. He then went into the kitchen area to ask a colleague and came back telling me that the heura has egg whites therefore it's not vegan, which left me even more confused as the brand heura is fully vegan. So either they are using some fake heura or they don't know what's vegan or not, which is not very comforting to hear, as I make a lot of efforts to keep my vegan diet.

Dietary restrictions: Vegan“

“Great seafood. Lots of delicious shrimp. Menu only in Portuguese, but we got there using Google translate. The portion for 2 would easily have been enough for three or four people. Delicious. The price for this amount of shrimp was unbeatable. We are very happy to have landed here.“

“We ordered 2 pregos, 1 with just rice and under the steak they put salad and red onion and the rice came full of peas, the complete prego came with the hard egg yolk.
The rest of the table ordered cod and had no complaints. I assumed that the restaurant's specialty is not meat.
Otherwise it is a traditional food restaurant“

“Ideal restaurant for eating local and fresh (arrival of the day's catch). The prices are very reasonable, we are not in a “tourist trap” restaurant. Traditions are well respected. The service was very pleasant.
I recommend.“

“Super nice and welcoming place. Italian atmosphere. Super professional employees.
Top food, some of the best I've tried in Italian. Kitchen to view and everything prepared in front of us.
Average price but corresponding to the quality.“

“An outstanding dinner spot! The service and attentiveness were unmatched. The meals were divine - the starters in particular were of note with an ingenious fusion of traditional Portugal and Mediterranean flavours that were unforgettable.
They also offer an exceptional wine menu that pair perfectly with the dishes on offer.
I also cannot rave more about the kindness and hospitality of the staff. Elsa in particular provided us with the most outstanding service I have experienced in Portugal.
It would be a loss if you didn’t visit this restaurant.“

“We came to Aveiro to explore, we went with the intention of having lunch in another restaurant which in turn was full and we came to "stop" at Cais da Tosca.
First impact: calm and cool
Service: very friendly and willing
Food: both starters and main course were very good and very well presented.
And it is for these and other reasons that we leave this recommendation ;)“

“It is a place worth discovering, although it is a little away from the hustle and bustle, it is very worth visiting.
The Robalo a la teja, is simply spectacular and the cod a la teja, ordering half a portion, I can say that two people eat, accompanied by delicious roast potatoes, super tasty.
The price I can say that for the size of the dishes and the supreme quality, it is cheap.
It is run by a couple and their son, they are very friendly, the treatment is very close and familiar.
If you go to Aveiro, don't hesitate to eat there, you won't regret it“

“Very good, very attentive service, the caldeirada de peixe and the grilled sea bream very good, the vinho verde good, I will recommend it and I will return. Quality price very good. The fresh fish was brought to the table so we could see the pieces.“

“Good afternoon!

Very welcoming indeed, with professional service from someone who admired the good quality of Portuguese cuisine and put it into practice.

When reading some of the incoherent reviews that I don't agree with, what caught my attention the most was those who don't have the nobility and frankness of attitude to say it personally to the owner and restrict themselves to commenting through these means! It's regrettable!

It gives the impression that they only see defects in everything and they don't know how to admire and encourage qualities.“

“Whenever I'm working in that area, I have lunch or dinner in this space. Good food and plenty of food, the service is also good and the price is €8.00 per person, everything included except dessert.I recommend

Parking: Next to the Continente hypermarket parking lot“

“Restaurant with very good food, divine service! You gentlemen are extremely friendly, I highly recommend them! Whenever I asked for something, they brought it right away. They don't accept banging on the table (which is worthy of good respect from other customers). The wine doesn't fall short of expectations, but I prefer the sangria (personal taste). Mr. Manel is a sweet person, he has a huge heart!“

“Choice restaurant in Aveiro. Great food, good atmosphere, staff are always friendly and attentive, even those who are learning.
I recommend the cod with cream, but the rest of the dishes are good too.
Great desserts, when I went there was Abade de Priscos pudding (not so easy to find in Aveiro!), among others that were equally good.
The atmosphere is good for those going for a romantic dinner or with a group.
It has two entrances.
The prices are great for such a good restaurant. Not as expensive as a seaside restaurant, and slightly more expensive than McDonalds.
When people ask me about good restaurants in Aveiro, this is the first one I think of for several years.

Parking: Parking coming soon to the buildings is free.

Kid-friendliness: Many children eat here with their parents.

Wheelchair accessibility: It has an upper entrance (it has two entrances, one at the bottom of the street and the other on the other side) that has no stairs.“

“We say eat there because when we passed we heard from a guide that the food was good at a reasonable price. We ordered the economy menu, 11 euros, it included a plate of grilled sea bream, with roast potatoes and salad, plenty to eat. The fish was delicious. The service was very friendly and pleasant, and they also spoke Portuguese, Spanish and English.“

“We went here for lunch with some family in July with our 11 month old and 5 year old. The restaurant was very accommodating with high chairs and children's menu. This isn't a super fancy place looks wise. But this is a mom and pop type of restaurant. It is very charming and the service was amazing! Now, lets talk about the food. We were blown away by not only the quality of the food, but the quantity of food. We couldn't believe at how much food came out. And your meal includes dessert! Highly recommend!“

“We went after the Eel Stew. We are the third of the four generations that we know and that keeps the taste for this dish in our DNA. We were left with some very thick eels, but the taste of the stew (animated by the moira) was at the level of the best we've eaten (and we have Zé Zé as our standard). Congratulations!“

“Everything was delicious. We had grilled lizard (pork), sardines and cod. The garnishes are also very delicious, especially the roasted peppers. It took them a while to bring the food but it was a Sunday in August and with the place and terrace full, it was understandable.“

“Delicious restaurant that we have eaten at many times.
It's worth it every time.
The service is also quick and the interior design is modern.
Come back every time.

Parking: Parking in front of the door, and there is a large parking lot to the right of the restaurant.“

“(Translated by Google) Very well. An authentic eating house, without great pretensions but with good food and plenty of it. There are only two options for the dish of the day, but it is worth it if you are in the area and you like the places that the people who live there frequent. A very fast and friendly service.(Original)Muy bien. Una casa de comidas auténtica, sin grandes pretensiones pero con buena comida y abundante. Solo hay dos opciones de plato del día, pero merece la pena si estás por la zona y te gustan los lugares que frecuentan las personas que viven por allí. Un servicio muy rápido y cordial.“

“(Translated by Google) The site is spacious, comfortable and well placed. And real Portuguese food, with quality and abundance. A success if you choose it. For me, one of the best in a long time. And without the pageantry of the tourist restaurants in the city of Aveiro.(Original)El sitio es amplio.comodo y bien puesto. Y la comida portuguesa de verdad, con calidad y abundancia. Un acierto si lo eliges. Para mi, de los mejores en mucho tiempo. Y sin el boato de los turísticos restaurantes de la ciudad de Aveiro.

Parking: Parking grande en LiDL. Junto al restaurante“

“Tudo perfeito. Atendimento top, rapidez no serviço, espaço amplo e completamente limpo, decoração muito acertada e bonita. Pedi bacalhau 3Manos e estava divinal, muito saboroso, boa dose e muito bem confecionado. Quem for a Águeda, obrigatoriamente deve ir comer aqui. Aconselho vivamente.“

“The reviews we have read to enter have verified the quality, taste and abundance of the food. We loved it. What we ordered was delicious. It's a shame I couldn't finish it, really. We were surprised by the hundreds of cockles that were below. The broth, spectacular. Good service too, attentive and fast.
Thank you very much team!!!! We will return without a doubt.
I'm not a fan of giving 5's to reviews, but you deserve it.“

“Very attentive, we arrived with 1 baby and they immediately tried to arrange a table that was practical for us, with a baby chair.
The lady who served the table was always very quick to serve.
Absolutely affordable prices, €8 per person on average.
Modernized and welcoming space.

Kid-friendliness: Has a baby high chair“

“Este lugar, aunque ubicado en una callejuela un poco escondida, realmente vale la pena visitar. La calidad de la comida y el servicio es magnífica. Llegamos casi a la hora de cierre, pero aun así nos permitieron comer sin prisa. Eli nos atendió de manera encantadora, haciendo de nuestra experiencia algo muy especial. Altamente recomendado!“

“A very nice place for dinner in a lively and friendly atmosphere of families and friends. Nice and helpful staff (Carlos, best regards). Along with the menu, we were brought a small starter in the form of delicious olives and bread. We were very surprised by the abundance of portions, because we only wanted to eat an evening salad (the time was after 10 p.m.), and we were served practically a dinner-sized dish, which we barely finished. Plus a glass of orange juice. Anyway... See for yourself.“

“(Translated by Google) Small but extremely pleasant space for lunch with an executive menu, which is ideal for work trips with little time.Excellent attentive service.What I ate was very tasty, everyday food with a different touch from the chef(Original)Espaço pequeno mas extremamente agradável para almoço com menu executivo, o que em deslocações de trabalho com pouco tempo é o ideal.Excelente atencioso atendimento.O que comi estava muito saboroso, uma comida do dia a dia com um toque diferente do chef“

“The bakery is very delicious! Their coffee is very well prepared and delicious! The mixed toast is very delicious! All this in a super well decorated and cozy environment. There could just be a menu to understand the options available but if you already know what you want, this is the place!

Parking: Stop on the street“

“Being Sardinian, I was immediately intrigued when I saw a restaurant focused on suckling pig. I have to say, even though I'm used to eating it in a completely different way, the experience was excellent.

The rind was crispy, the price-quality ratio was great, and the meat, fries, salad, and sauce were all very good. The pairing they do here in Portugal is also interesting—they eat the meat while drinking sparkling wine.

The atmosphere was very nice and modern. The staff was very friendly and quick with everything.“

“Very nice discovery!
We went to eat this afternoon as a family, with a 4 year old child and everything was great!
The service, the staff, the attention given to our son, who proactively was served before us to limit his wait and the food was very good! Thanks to Sergio for the 5 star service!
I recommend ??

In addition, the restaurant's location is very good, close to a large underground car park and on the water's edge of the Ria.“

“Excellent food and very good service despite the delay due to forgetting to order the food from the waiter, we must admit that human errors do exist but since we were not in a hurry and we were enjoying this wonderful town, the wait was worth it since the food was excellent. A very good option if you come to Aveiro. The shrimp risotto was spectacular and the spaghetti bolognese very tasty.“

“We have been in Aveiro for a few days, they had recommended the Adamastor restaurant to us and they were not confused, it is exceptional, excellent location next to the canal, top quality food and what can we say about Antonio, the waiter, he is the soul of the restaurant, super professional, we I advise at all times, without getting confused, with a very familiar treatment, thank you Antonio, we will return and we will be with you. Recommended 200% or more.“

“Italian food restaurant, modern and informal. It is suitable for any number of customers; from individual meals to groups. It is part of the history of Aveirense restaurants, having passed through several generations of customers, so for many families it is a special place to socialize. House constantly updated, with always young and friendly service. A classic not to be missed! ?

Vegetarian options: Salads, pastas and crepes with vegetarian options

Parking: Paid parking during the day, until around 8pm

Kid-friendliness: They have baby chairs and are flexible in changing the ingredients of the dishes listed.“

“(Translated by Google) Great for a snack at the end of the day and drink a beer with stuffed meat. The bifanas are great, and the snacks in gral are very nice..(Original)Otimo para petiscar ao final do dia e beber um cervejão com empalhada. As bifanas são otimas, e os petiscos em gral são muito agradáveis..“

“We booked a table for 35 people at this restaurant and got our own private space upstairs which was highly appreciated. We pre-ordered from their set menue and it worked really well. The food was really good and the atmosphere excellent. Thank you for giving our choir a really special evening together in Lisbon, and I hope your guests downstairs could appreciate the unexpected entertainment from us upstairs. Thank you The Chamber choir Nonsilentium“

“We arrived at 1:45 p.m. 2 adults and 2 children. Restaurant hours until 11pm. They tell us that if we want to eat we will have to wait a long time. We ask if it is because of the kitchen and he tells us yes. 5 tables occupied and with food served. It was clearly a "you are not welcome." What a shame with how fantastic the people in Portugal are. You encounter personnel who work in front of the public without vocation or professionalism.“

“This place has become our favorite to enjoy a beer in Aveiro. One of the main reasons is the price: the beers are cheap, which allows us to enjoy several without worrying about the cost. In addition, they offer gluten-free options, which is a great plus for those who need or prefer this alternative.

The environment is simply unbeatable. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, ideal for having a good time with friends or simply enjoying a quiet beer. On many occasions, we have been lucky enough to find people playing live music, which adds a special and vibrant touch to the place. The live music varies, but always contributes to a charming and lively atmosphere.

In short, this is the perfect place to have a beer in Aveiro. With affordable prices, gluten-free options and an exceptional environment, it has become our favorite place. Without a doubt, we recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy a good beer in an unbeatable atmosphere.

It was our trusted place for 4 days.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free beer“

“A cozy restaurant that offers a very nice & varied selection of starters, second courses, drinks. One can go light for lunch, or more for a satisfying dinner. Presentation of dishes was inviting. Serving sizes fit for sharing. Palate pleasing flavors. We enjoyed the experience.“
