“One of the best places to eat...The wood oven pizza is PHENOMENAL.We go there several times with the aim of eating other things and we always end up with pizza ..But let's keep trying other things...”

“The people and the food was amazing, we felt very welcome and the vibe was amazing too, we love Mila. The food was super pretty and tasty, the croissants are to die for definitely a great place for brunch”

“Going to this restaurant is like going to your cousin’s home for dinner. All the appetizers, the main and desserts are pre-planned and meticulously prepared in an inclusive dinner. If you decline to try one of the dishes the servers seem disappointed as they take pride in stuffing you to your eyeballs. (The food was prepared with love after all). We knew we were in for an experience when the owner told us “I will serve you our menu and we won’t change a thing. If you don’t like it frankly I don’t care- I’ve been doing this the same way for 32 years”. It is a must-try for an immersive cultural experience and amazing farm-to-table traditional food. Thank you for welcoming us into your “home”!”

“Perfect, the picanha was very good, the service was exceptional.

Congratulations to the owner for having such a committed and attentive employee ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Very good snacks and top service from the girls from São Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul.

Vegetarian options: My daughter is vegetarian and she also loved the snacks.”

“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!”

“Experiencing Omakase in Braga is a delight for the senses. With a selection of authentic and innovative Japanese dishes, every meal is a celebration of flavor. The elegant atmosphere and warm service make the visit even more special. A real highlight on Braga's gastronomic scene.”

“This place has an amazing vibe. The food is amazing. Vegan options maybe all of the offer of the day... so, just go there and enjoy. Two different size dishes. You choose one, and price is done based on the one you choose. Tea is on the house. Price is amazing. Updated from previous review on 2024-11-17”

“We made a stop at this place for an ice cream after researching a bit on google about a good ice cream place
In Braga. We were not let down. It is a really good quality gelato. We had the pistachio, hazelnut, and chocolate. Awesome taste for the 3 flavours. Highly recommended.”

“Lovely family with a delicious food and atmosphere. They made my brother's birthday incredible! Such nice people. I'm coming back next time we are in town!”

“Another great (veggie) lunch in guimaraes. We had the pasta with veggie balls and they were excellent! The service was very friendly. We visited with our little 3 month girl and it was a little noisy and we could not lie her down (no benches), but that did not ruin our experience. The service offered us a baby chair, but she can not sit yet. Thank you for the great food!”

“The meal is of excellent quality, the service is satisfactory. The environment is a little cramped and sunny. This is because Rua de D. Diogo de Sousa is sometimes busy.”

“The place is very cozy and the food is very delicious, perfect to enjoy a good time in Guimarães. The staff is very attentive and helpful, a very good option!!!”

“First of all: this place is quite hidden. You won’t see it from the street you need to enter the building that says “Generation” in the big letters. The place is very nice with an indoor terrace and the food is very delicious and healthy. Everything is vegan (and gluten free). Staff is super friendly. Prices are quite affordable as well.”

“I loved!! Homemade burger ? the best I've ever eaten!
Very good indeed! And the traditional potatoes are very good!
I advise!!
I will repeat ??”

“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 ??.”

“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...”

“I had been wanting to visit this place for about two years. Now, taking advantage of a few days of rest, I decided to try it out. And it didn't disappoint. Everything excellent, good snacks/brunch. Lots of options to please everyone. Very cozy place and very friendly service. I recommend a visit. You will definitely find something to your liking.

Venting aside... I understand the location, but for those who live in the surrounding area, parking and access are difficult. And on another note, it is a shame that this concept has not yet been adopted in the city of Braga. It was the only one of this genre I found. Something like this would be great to escape the many snack bars that are everywhere. Specialty Coffe places are accurate.”

“Highly recommended
Nice Cousy place best for family and friends
Serving amazing foods, drinks all delicious
Excellent customer service”

“Amazing restaurant! We stumbled upon this place after the first place we went to was booked, and I'm very glad we did. Excellent, honest food without frills at exceedingly fair prices.

For lunch they do the old-school set menu thing with soup plus a choice of 3 or 4 mains. Plus a big jug of tap water for free. Price was 7 euros for just the main or 8 with soup. There's also a selection of desserts at extra cost, around 3 euros each. Everything we ordered was fantastic: veal stew, squid with beans, cheesecake, caramel mousse and chocolate mouse. The setting is also great - nice, funky decor and a very comfortable terrace out back.

The overall vibe was great - you could this is a real passion project. There aren't many places like this around anymore. If you're in Braga, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't regret it.”

“Fantastic food, extremely friendly service and availability.
It's great that it's open late and offers food for lunch until 4pm.
We were very well attended to and left very satisfied with the meal.
I recommend!”

“We found it by chance while looking for the hotel, we returned at night to have dinner, and the place is nice, good service, the staff are attentive and friendly, the price is good, and the food was very delicious, when we left we met the cook, who He is from Vigo, and we were able to talk a little with him, very nice, 100% recommended place”

“From the moment I arrived I was greeted with exceptional service, the restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful throughout my stay.The food was simply delicious, with fresh ingredients and well prepared. The dishes were very well presented, and I could see that the kitchen values ​​the aesthetics and quality of the food.The atmosphere in the restaurant was very pleasant, with cozy decor and soft music. This added greatly to the overall dining experience, which was relaxing and memorable.Finally, the price of the meals was very fair in relation to the quality of the dishes and the service offered.

“we had lunch here and tasted their delicious cod with potatoes and the typical duck rice, as well as excellent cod croquettes and the house dessert (a yogurt flan accompanied by apricot compote).
huge portions, half rations are enough.
exceptional quality-price ratio, the kind that can no longer be found even in the most authentic taverns.”

“Excellent quality products.
Birthday cakes are beautiful and delicious!
Vivian is super professional and very attentive.
I'll be back soon. ?”

“Great food, atmosphere and attentive staff. We went with our dog and they allowed us to keep her in a corner of the terrace. Very attentive staff, hot dishes and a clean, sophisticated atmosphere. We will be back on our next visit to the city!”

“High quality sushi, very well prepared. Delicious hot ones, super crunchy. Dessert was also delicious (warm apple pie). Above average for sushi restaurants in the area. I highly recommend it. The service was very professional and helpful. Repeating.”

“We stumbled across this family owned restaurant and enjoyed a “meal of a lifetime.” Mussels, grilled squid and salmon were our main dishes and they were complemented by fresh salads and fish soup. The lemon mousse that finished our meal was pure perfection. When you are in Nazaré, make time to eat a meal at Restaurante Gil Vincente. You won’t be disappointed.”
