Portuguese Restaurants in Ponte De Lima, PT

“Food and service were great! Generous, hearty portions. Mushrooms and prawns were excellent starters. Steak and fish were excellent. Great for big groups. We were 11 and had a cozy set up. We had a couple of vegetarians in the group - menu is not vegetarian friendly but our server made a plan! Fairly good value for money.“

“Dieser Laden hat einen tollen Mitarbeiter oder vielleicht war er sogar der Chef selbst. Er hat den erschöpften Pilgern, die auf die Öffnung der Herberge gegenüber warteten, einfach so ein Getränk zur Erfrischung gebracht! Und ich hatte meine Trinkflasche an der Bank stehen lassen und war schon verzweifelt, doch er hatte sie gesehen und sicher verwahrt. So ein wunderbarer und freundlicher Mensch ! Vielen Dank“

“We booked an outside table for our 1st night dinner in Pte de Lima with our friends. 8 of us really enjoyed all the food - excellent quality & great service from the guys here. The wine was also very good value & great quality. Just back from the main square - which probably makes it better value..“

“The food is very good!
For those who like to experience different gastronomic cultures (flavors and seasonings) it is undoubtedly an option in Ponte de Lima.
Coalho cheese, for those who like it, there is one very close to us!
Fried and cooked cassava. I like both although the cooked one is my favorite.
The main dishes were very good.
Mushroom risotto with black pork feathers!
Empty steak with melted cheese and crispy fries.
Romeo and Juliet pudding dessert (with guava paste).
I recommend it to try different flavors and combinations of flavors.
Congratulations“

“A typical friendly restaurant in a small alley in Ponte de Lima
A delicious cod cooked in a tile-shaped dish served with onions and small potatoes
A traditional caramelized pudding accompanied by slices of pineapple, a real delight
A good price-performance ratio
A nice welcome
Let's stay local and authentic
Small downside, a little too much sugar in the dessert
Well done“

“Restaurant away from the tourist area (near Carrefour) that you must specifically go to. We hadn't booked and we had to wait but I assure you it was worth it. The dishes do not detract from the name of the restaurant at all. The winery is very acceptable. It is worth going away a little to visit, but remember to book.“

“A very nice place!
Friendliness and professionalism in service.
Great cod pataniscas starter, dry and crunchy.
Next, the roast pork shank that was suggested to us didn't shine nor managed to pass an average rating. Meat that was not very soft, suggesting a short roasting time, with almost no crunchiness, was not captivating.
The final pineapple and panacotta were quality.
Plenty of parking spaces.“

“I recommend this traditional restaurant where vegetarians are welcome, we were surprised by a well served and complete dish. So the world moves forward and forward, if we return to Ponte de Lima this is our preference. Thank you for making a difference.

Vegetarian options: Dish very well served with rice, French fries, mashed potatoes, cabbage and green beans, black-eyed peas and tomatoes, a complete and tasty dish, I recommend it.“

“Very good address. We had lunch there as a family. I particularly recommend the beef with "tres Pimentos". The portions are very generous. Beautifully decorated restaurant, professional service, pleasant atmosphere and impeccable toilets. To do again.“

“Superb experience for our group of 12 people. Booked and ate upstairs. We tried most dishes on the menu and loved them all. Especially the beef with apple sauce and the pork dishes. Outstanding service from the waitress who spoke also perfect English. Could not have been better..“

“Visiting Ponte de Lima, which highlights the quality of service combined with gastronomic quality. An excellent wine cellar that brings the best the region has to offer. Fabulous

Parking: Easily parked around the restaurant“

“I had dinner there alone while doing the Camino de Santiago. The waiter was extremely friendly and helped with the menu, since I do not speak Portoguese. The food was beyond delicious, and the portions were so large I could not even finish. Perfect experience after a day full of walking.“

“The chicken wings are really good! It is in a very beautiful location close to the river and has a terrace with a view. The owner is very friendly!

Parking: When there are no seats outside, there are plenty along the street. There is also a free car park on the riverbank.“

“The portions are very large, even asking for half. I ordered bacallao or escondidinho and it was delicious. But I do have to say that the thin part was drier and toasted and I didn't like it, they do it all together and it is drier. But I would repeat.“

“We would rate this 10 stars if we could! Dinner was an amazing experience. The dining area is super small, giving it a family feel. It was like eating at my Portuguese great-grandmother's house and the owner's made it feel cozy and comfortable. The decor added to the terrific ambiance. The food was every bit as nice. The seafood rice was loaded with clams, shrimp, fish, and flavor. The franceshinha especial was the best I've ever had. Both could have been shared, and we still would have left full. As it was, we were rolling out the door because of so much food. My wife was given a cute little shopping bag as a parting gift. Highly recommended!“

“Homemade, tasty food and a family atmosphere. The cabbage soup was divine. We had lunch on a weekday and chose the restaurant by chance. Small and welcoming, it reminded me of the nostalgic taverns, which were on the verge of extinction. Excellent for those who want a quick meal and homemade food.“

“Magnificent piece of tender and very tasty prawn meat with magnificent garlic with a waoooouuuu saucewelcoming fireplace very pleasant at this time food all homemade to the minute homemade fries the best

Parking: Parking at the restaurant“

“We were looking for a place away from the tourist center and where the people of Ponte de Lima went to eat. And we found this place. A jewel!!! Good food, good prices and a waitress who served us as if we were in the bar downstairs at home: fast, efficient, friendly... THANK YOU!Stop posturing tourist rolls and go to places like this. It's where the real essence is!“

“Restaurant that I have known for years
where you will find the famous dish of ponté de lima, arroz de sarrabulho.
I also recommend bacalhau,
My favorite is o bacalhau da casa.
I also recommend them for events like birthdays, baptisms, etc.“

“One of the oldest family restaurants in Ponte de Lima, you eat the best cabrito assado no forno, be sure to mark your table when you arrive or risk seeing your turn pass due to a lot of crowds.

Parking: Ample free public parking along the banks of the river.“

“To begin with, we loved the reception from the girl who is serving you. As soon as we arrived, he immediately gave us a smile and happily asked us if we were going to have dinner. We answered yes and the girl promptly told us to sit comfortably, wherever we preferred. For that reason alone, it was worth deciding to stop there.
Very politely, he provided us with the menu and some starters, which we gladly accepted. The olives were the highlight, very good and tasty, difficult to resist asking for more.
When taking the order, in doubt between the francesinha or the kebab, the girl immediately told us that we could try both, as we had kebab francesinha available on the menu. We were unsure about the quality of the kebab, but the confidence that the girl gave us made us decide quickly. We couldn't have made a better choice! It was really delicious, we felt that the girl was at “her beach”. In the end, there was no belly for dessert, but the coffee was perfect. We ordered a nice cup of coffee and the girl who served us responded with everything.
We were delighted with everything, and at the end of paying, the girl even had the kindness to thank us and was waiting for our return to taste the "famous" Garlic Steak, wishing us a good weekend.
We will definitely be back! We were very well served and received in a very welcoming, beautiful and pleasant environment, something we have rarely found: price-quality-good service, all in one space. Thank you for the fantastic experience you gave us Pica-Já.

Parking: Free parking, private from the restaurant, with plenty of space and secure.“

“Local and plentiful food. Although the dishes tend to be meat or fish, they also prepare some vegetarian options (I was with a friend and I ordered only some eggs with potatoes, and he prepared a dish that surprised me). Very good price considering the quality (about 11 euros each dish).

Vegetarian options: They have some dishes that can be adapted for vegetarians.“

“Very good place, we were surprised to see a well-priced dish of the day and the experience was enriching.

The place is very good and familiar.

All the food is made fresh and very delicious and varied.

Everything is very good.“

“O Brasão in Ponte de Lima offers an authentic dining experience with flavorful Portuguese dishes and friendly service. The atmosphere is friendly and the setting charming. An essential address to discover local cuisine!
Thanks to Jean and his team
Véronique and Manu“

“Très bon plats servis en façon plateau a tapas ( sandwich, hamburger ou salade...)
Une Sangria exceptionnelle fraîche

Wheelchair accessibility: Rampe d' accès pour l' intérieur sinon une terrasse extérieure assez spacieuse.“

“I went there twice and the food is very good. The service has nothing to say other than that they are very friendly and pleasant people.. it is a very very pleasant place
It's really good and I'm going back there
Thanks“

“I really liked both the service and the food. For me, the "appetizer" was strange because there was fish pate and freshly baked bread on the table until we ordered, I could introduce this even in Hungary. I had the best bacalhaut in Portugal here.“

“Very tasty typical Portuguese food. Generous doses. Price is not cheap, but it seemed adequate for the quality of the food.

Vegetarian options: Has a vegetarian option

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair access“

“Interior restaurant but with several windows and views of the river. Service is friendly and efficient. The food was very good and so tasty.
The monkfish rice was enough to share (if you're not too hungry, of course), it was excellent with large pieces of monkfish and shrimp. The curry has a spicy aftertaste, if you are not used to it, it is better not to order it.
Everything is very good, and the prices are fair and in line with the quality and quantity.“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent food, attention and cold tiles. They make this place a typical Portuguese Rural restaurant.(Original)Excelente comida, atención y los fríos de azulejos. Hacen de este lugar un típico restaurante Rural Portugués.“

“Really lovely, bustling Portuguese restaurant. We've been several times over the last couple of years and loved it each time. My wife is coeliac and they were great (it's not always understood in Portugal). Pork is the speciality given the region with lots of dishes (they do plenty of other food though). Good food, cheap, excellent service - love it. Twice a week they do their special - suckling pig!“

“A restaurant on the outskirts, away from the crowds of the center. Very pleasant and tastefully decorated premises and terrace. Impeccable service. Very good food. They also brought water for our dog. We will definitely return.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian Francesinha“

“A massacre !!!
We had a great time in this establishment. The dishes are hearty and generous.
My partner had cod with onions and I had monkfish with rice and seafood. We had a great time!!!
One thing is certain, we will come back“

“Welcoming and very kind staff ☺️
We ate very well !
The cod fritters delighted young and old (12 pieces) and a dish of two people of bacalhau for two adults and two pre-teens suited us perfectly ?
To do again without hesitation ☺️“

“Pica pau is a very nice place to eat. The service is always attentive and the dishes offered are excellent. The “Americana” sandwich is a sure bet with fried egg, slices of ham, cheese, tomato and salad, all on a tasty round bread. This is a welcome stop.“

“We went looking for Sarrabulho rice, asked a passerby and he recommended this restaurant to us. We stayed on the terrace and were served by a very friendly and prompt young woman. We ordered ham for starters and sent it back because it was too salty. The cheese we ordered was very good (rabaçal). The rojões and rice from Sarrabulho were good. We ordered a dose for two people and there was a lot left.
Half a dose would have been enough.
Overall, we liked it.“

“We wanted a quiet restaurant.. all the restaurants by the river were full and there was a lot of noise around... almost giving up, we found this restaurant.. very nice terrace.. a correct menu.. we were served in 10 minutes... Picanha and veal .. very good!! Recommend ???“

“This restaurant is well located, in the historic center, with views over the river and a very pleasant terrace, for dinner on a summer evening or at lunchtime. The interior of the restaurant is small but welcoming.
The food is good, although not incredible...“
