Portuguese Restaurants near Padronelo, PT

“Very cozy tavern, calm and relaxed atmosphere, excellent food with good presentation, but not in (too much) quantity... the interior is very well distributed and the decor is of excellent taste, also good hygiene in all spaces. They have an open terrace, with a good arrangement of tables, and a large, more relaxed atmosphere with music. The prices are not very affordable, but they make up for everything else, as they are moments well spent, of emotional socialization.“

“What a wonderful meal! Unexpectedly we debuted Oma's new menu. Everything was excellent, but when we talked about the meal again the opinion was unanimous, and the highlights were: the brioche (from the house's homemade breads), the cauliflower purée from the starter, the crispy potato (from the Presa à Bulhão Pato) and the texture of the Veal. In dessert, the highlighted element was fig leaf oil. The chef's mastery was noted, accompanied by the extreme friendliness of the service. Ending as we began: a wonderful meal!“

“Pleasant surprise!
Very pleasant restaurant involved in “Tongobriga”, Chef Paulo Damatta is very attentive and the dishes are very well prepared with his personal touch, congratulations.
We had a veal skewer for lunch with cracked eggs, and a mushroom toasted starter! 5*
I'll definitely go back there... I recommend it.“

“Very high level.
Simply divine food, from starters to desserts, prices within normal limits, but considering the quality, I would say they are even affordable. And the service is very friendly.
I recommend it without any doubt!“

“Dîner vraiment très bien. La prestation est loins des standards portugais. Nous sommes là sur de la qualité autant sur le service que sur la nourriture et cerise sur le gâteau maintenant que la rue est devenue piétonne le cadre est encore mieux. Honnêtement si vous aimez la gastronomie et que vous passez sur Amarante il faut y faire un arrêt.“

“(Translated by Google) Wonderful local restaurant! Food was delicious and service was very friendly and also very fast. Had a very delicious meal and can recommend it to everyone.(Original)Prachtig lokaal restaurantje! Eten was heerlijk en de bediening was erg vriendelijk en ook erg snel. Heb erg heerlijk gegeten en kan het aan iedereen aanraden.“

“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.“

“(Translated by Google) Very good family service with a lot of respect always taking care of the customer dishes well served thank you c.da Cidade(Original)Muito bom atendimento familial com mto respeito sempre ao cuidado do cliente pratos bem servidos obgdo c.da cidade“

“The attention and speed in serving the dishes is unbeatable. The combined dishes are abundant, the homemade pizzas are very varied and delicious. I recommend as a starter the Celorico soup (potatoes with bacon and cheddar cheese with francesinha sauce). It's worth the wait to get a table.“

“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.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Quinta da Lama, a former olive oil mill that has been transformed into a delightful restaurant. The place exudes a cozy and rustic charm, with clay pots and vintage stone adorning the dining room.The menu offers a wide range of dishes, from traditional Portuguese cuisine to Mediterranean and European influences. I opted for the “posta à lagar”, a succulent tenderloin steak cooked in olive oil and garlic, and the cod with cornbread, a classic Portuguese dish that was moist and flavorful. Both dishes were exquisite and prepared with fresh and quality ingredients. The salads and bread were also very good.For dessert, I indulged in the “leite creme”, a creamy custard with a caramelized crust. It was heavenly, one of the best I ever had. I also enjoyed the house wine, a local red wine that complemented the food perfectly.The service was impeccable and attentive, and the prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. I had a splendid time at Quinta da Lama and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and satisfying dining experience in Amarante.“

“Um dos melhores restaurantes onde estive. Comida caseira excelente !
Aspecto rude exterior nada a ver com a qualidade da comida que lá se faz.

Kid-friendliness: Sim.

Wheelchair accessibility: Sim.“

“Tasca with a good atmosphere, always with fado music at a very pleasant volume, very friendly service and attentive to customer needs. As for food, for those who like tapas this is the best place to eat, worth every euro spent. Very tasty food, excellent quality, excellent prices for the quality it offers. Without a doubt, it is one of the best restaurants in Felgueiras for tapas. This is the second time I've been there and I will definitely go back. The prices range from €15 to €30 (although I entered 20-25), as it will always depend on the amount of food you order, the first time I paid €31, the second time I paid €19.. The dish What I recommend trying are the nails in the bread that are in the photo, you will certainly like them.

Parking: Sometimes you can find parking in front of the restaurant's door, sometimes you have to leave it a little further away but only 100m away, until it's quite close.“

“I would say that it is almost the best sushi I have ever tried in my life. Since we were in Portugal we wanted to have something more traditional but we ended up here and we couldn't be happier. The sushi was delicious and they did very good service, the buffet price is GREAT!

Vegetarian options: If you tell them that you are vegetarian, they will make you a more personalized sushi for you, this is what they did for my friend who was delighted.“

“Small, family-run restaurant frequented mainly by locals, menu with various tapas and local dishes.
We tasted several things and accompanied everything with some house wine. It was all very good.
Fast but attentive service. Incredibly low prices even considering the quality of what we ate.
Absolutely recommended“

“In 2021 we had already gone there and loved it, we returned this year (2024) and of course we had to go there.

Service, food, atmosphere 5*

The garlic bread with bacon is very good, as are the pizzas and passion fruit sangria. We loved it again and totally recommend it.

There is parking at the door.
Super nice terrace.“

“We found this gem random on a google research and: thank god! Mr Luis was AMAZING! great outdoor seating.. amazing meat.. some starters to kick it off.. bolo bolacha was yummy too and the serve white wine of quinta da lixa! Yum! We loved it and will def come back! “

“One of the best restaurants in the area. The service is absolutely excellent. All the staff are very attentive and friendly. The food is cooked to perfection and the portions are absolutely huge. Price wise I think it’s very cheap for what you get. I’d recommend any meat dish but the “polvo a lagareiro” is exquisite. Give this place a try, you will not regret it!“

“Great place to eat for €7.5 per night with bread, soup, coffee and drink. Without a doubt it is a find these days. The employees are very welcoming and the service is very fast. The food is simple and traditional, great for trying typical Portuguese foods. I will come back here for sure“

“In the city center we discovered this excellent restaurant that welcomed us very warmly. We chose a table on the balcony which gave our dinner a fresh feel.
The food was excellent, with simple things but very well combined, for example, mushrooms with cheese and a touch of mint....... Desserts follow the same policy.
Place to consider whenever you return to Amarante“

“Today for lunch was my first time at Cancela Velha. It was busy but no waiting, seated immediately. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Was with my brother and our Portuguese language teacher. We all ordered the soup (nabissa), breads and olives and cheese appetizers, bacalhau cakes, daily special (pescado and arroz com gelho). Appetizers, soup, and daily fish and rice specials were delicious. I particularly enjoyed the rice. We ordered some traditional deserts, natas de ceu, pudin, bolo traditional. Deserts were delicious especially the natas de ceu. We ordered an apple turnover to take home for our mom. Our server said “warm it slightly and serve with ice cream”, which of course we did. Our mom is 92 and she has tried a lot of apple turnovers in her 9+ decades, and she said “this is the best I have tasted, get more next time please.” Overall an excellent experience and since we are now locals, we will be back again!“

“We ordered the famous "Posta de Vitela" and it was very good. Very tasty and good quantity. The owners are very friendly. Of course, you have to bring cash because they do not accept credit cards. For my taste, the price of food and drinks is a little high considering the location.“

“The best cod we ate, everything was delicious even the vegetables were amazing tasting.
We loved everything we ordered, from start to finish.
And for the quality, I can't complain about the price.
We will certainly repeat it.
We finally found a restaurant with quality and a unique flavor.“

“Absolutely perfect restaurant in which we spent a great evening with the family. We happily tasted the Portuguese specialties and everything was delicious and plentiful.Special mention to Carlos who is an extraordinary and passionate man. His kindness and professionalism transported us. We are delighted with this discovery and hope to return during the next vacation.“

“Pastries are awesome and made in house. It was hopping busy but we got served asap, with coffees and pastry delivered to our seats on the covered patio overlooking the river. A literal bird ate crumbs from my wife's hand. I half expected someone to burst into song from an overhead window.“

“Just FABULOUS!After numerous trips to Portugal and countless restaurants,What a surprise ! The cuisine is really tasty and surprising. The Beiral cod was very good. And what about beef steak? A beautiful piece of meat cooked to perfection, covered with bread, olives, garlic and parsley. From the first bite to the last, a real festival for your taste buds!You will be looked after by your hosts! The boss is very friendly and speaks a little French.Their own vinho verde is a Brussels medalist and will perfectly accompany your evening.The setting is impeccableEverything is there to have a good time!We recommend and we will come back“

“(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.“

Bonjour. Après beaucoup d'exsitation, now décidé d'essayer une francesinha et le résultat est tout simply FABULEUX. Sans aucun doute le meilleur de tous, je le recommande. Attention, il faut prendre rendez-vous et ne pas se precipitater, se détendre, profiter du moment.“

“After doing the PR4 in Serra da Aboboreira, the goal was to miss the famous year in the oven. There wasn't, but we were compensated by a good meal and excellent greenery in the region. As it's the Christmas season, we ended with an excellent French toast. Thank you for the welcome and excellent service. It is recommended.“

“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“

“(Translated by Google) Perfect delicacies, it's just a pity not to have kept the point of sale in Porto because having to go to Marco is still a considerable journey, but eating less is keeping the delicacies in the mind and thus not easily forgotten. Mandatory visit.(Original)Iguarias perfeitas, é só pena não ter mantido o ponto de venda no Porto porque ter que ir ao Marco ainda é uma deslocação considerável, mas comer-se menos é mantém-se as iguarias na mente e assim não se esquece com facilidade. Obrigatório a visita.“

“Small but cozy place. We were on the terrace at noon. Even though it was hot, it was very good (the middle of August). They brought us water for our dogs and were very kind. The food was very delicious and the price was very good.
Pet friendly place on the terrace!

Parking: Blue zone, ticket required.“

“One of the best places to eat in Amarante, the food is a delight at all levels, the service is spectacular and unbeatable, the place is beautiful with beautiful views from the terrace, I recommend it 100% and if I return to Amarante I will return to this one restaurant“

“Excellent food, very well prepared, in a wood-fired oven. I highly recommend the goat or lamb. But the goat is really the best there is in Portugal, it's not a "kid", 6 or 7 years old!!!! I just don't give 5 stars on everything because it depends on who is being served! There are two employees there who litter the parking lot! And the price, in my opinion, is a little exaggerated! Not in the dose of goat or lamb but in drinks, desserts, starters....etc! Apart from that, if you want to eat the best goat we have in Portugal, it's a TOP place. The other drawback is the size of the parking lot, very small!“

“We ordered seafood and meat.
Fresh seafood, well prepared.
Tasty and tender meat!
Friendly and professional service!
Very pleasant space.
Different menu for a different experience.
If possible, I recommend booking.“

“We went in because we were thirsty, we had some beers with their fine sweets and then we took their 5 specialties. They are almost the same dough of eggs wrapped in different textures, a delight, it's back to the 70's, and I have remembered those fine pastries that were made when I was little, the place was very nice and the staff very correct, we loved it“

“(Translated by Google) A pleasant surprise this place, the environment is simple, the quality and flavor are great and the price is very good. We ordered two Galão and 3 snacks and it cost €5.(Original)Uma grata surpresa esse local, o ambiente é simples, a qualidade e sabor são ótimos e o preço é muito bom. Pedimos dois Galão e 3 salgados e saiu por 5€.“

“We arrived without knowing what we were seeing and we loved it.To begin with, the clams, which were well served and meaty. Delicious. Next, an equally tasty and well-prepared Rodovalho. The house's white verde wine accompanied the meal very well and finally for dessert we ordered the chocolate mousse and the house sweet. Everything impeccable.“

“The service is great and the food even better.I suggest the plate "cabrito".

Vegetarian options: Traditional Portuguese, so wouldn't suggest dor Vegans.

Kid-friendliness: Kind service shouldn't be an issue at all.

Wheelchair accessibility: Has stairs to get into restaurant, not accessible for wheelchairs.“

“A true typical Portuguese restaurant. Excellent quality homemade food. Average price €20 per person. Very cozy atmosphere, especially in winter with the fireplace warming the place.Just a negative note, they only accept cash payments, it's better to be prepared!Without a doubt, I recommend it.“

“(Translated by Google) Caravela Restaurant reopened with new management and cook. A new concept, which knew how to adapt regional cuisine to current local cuisine. Friendly, cordial and efficient service. I recommend visiting for tasting and appreciation.(Original)O Restaurante Caravela reabriu com nova gerência e cozinheiro.

“Delicious food. Excellent service. Friendly and “local” ambience. We stopped by for lunch and enjoyed the grilled fish and vegetables — simple, no fuss, cuisine, that was absolutely delicious.

They served alcohol free beer which always gets bonus points in my book. Partner enjoyed a local Vinho Verde which she said was one of the best she’s ever had.

It felt like the staff really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome despite their limited English and our limited Portuguese. Felt like an authentic, local restaurant and would highly recommend to anyone looking for that kind of experience.

Dietary restrictions: We asked for food only cooked with olive oil and salt and they were happy to oblige.

Parking: Parking directly in front of church and directly opposite.

Kid-friendliness: A family with three kids was eating at the same time as us. They were accommodated with high-chairs and felt very welcome!“
