Portuguese Restaurants near Portela, PT

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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...“

“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.“

“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. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience in a warm and friendly atmosphere.“

“I went with a group of people and I confess that I was a little skeptical about the place, based on what I had heard and especially the prices charged. However, fortunately it was a good surprise. The service is discreet and efficient without much conversation, but everything arrives at the table at a good pace. Dinner was long and everything I tried was of excellent quality and with great care in presentation. Above all, the mixed meats were surprising due to their quality, as were the desserts. I liked the room, the environment is more complicated because there are several tables and groups in this case, it makes the environment more stuffy and noisy but that doesn't help, but without disturbing. In short, it won't be a place you can go "always" but it's an excellent option in this city for those looking to eat quality meat and beyond. I didn't have the opportunity to see the wine list because it was already chosen and I can't comment, it will be for analysis on a next visit.

Wheelchair accessibility: Has access ramps“

“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!“

“Restaurant with exquisite furniture and decoration. Beautiful wine cellar with a set of mirrors that deceives the eye, giving unexpected depth to the rooms. Well prepared and abundant meal without being overdone. Pay attention to the details, starting with the menus and continuing with the friendliness of the service. Side dishes are sometimes a little late and therefore almost cold, contrasting with the main dish that arrives pleasantly boiling, releasing fragrances that the palate soon begins to guess...
Pleasant dessert. Price to match in a good relationship with the environment, service and meal. Definitely a restaurant not to be missed for lovers of good things in the city of Braga, fifteen minutes from the center, on foot, to help digestion...
Congratulations to the Management and the entire friendly team.“

“I took "Codfish in Braga", very filling. Very good. Potatoes in fried rings, nickel. All drizzled with olive oil, as I like.Dessert: baked apple, excellent. Come with your eyes closed.My wife took the cod with breadcrumbs, potatoes, cabbage. Excellent.All for a very reasonable price. We will come back without hesitation.“

“(Translated by Google) I've been living in Braga for five years and this was without a doubt the best cod I've ever tasted. Service is friendly and welcoming. The cheesecake for dessert was amazing! Keep it up.(Original)Vivo há cinco anos em Braga e esse foi sem dúvidas o melhor bacalhau que já experimentei. O atendimento é simpático e acolhedor. O cheesecake na sobremesa estava incrível! Continuem assim.“

“(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. Ambiente limpinho, atendimento rápido e o melhor: o menu está diariamente no Facebook, o que é mesmo muito prático (podia ter aqui no Google tb! ????). Recomendo!“

“The concept of the restaurant is quite interesting and different.
The amount of food in all the dishes is quite small, of course it is a gourmet food restaurant, in other words: it is designed to eat all the “4 acts” or 4 dishes and be fine, the idea is not to be full!!

Regarding the quality of the dishes and their flavor: nothing to write home about, they are all really good.⭐️

Just something to point out and easy to improve;
In the “fifth act”, the desserts could be better described because the menu only mentions the ingredients, or flavors, that your dessert will have, it does not mention the texture. In other words, you don’t know if you’re asking for ice cream, a cake, something creamy, something dry and crunchy, etc…

It's not a cheap restaurant, that's clear, but for something different and special, it's good.

Kid-friendliness: They admit children and babies but the care for them is not the best. It is noticeable that they “get in the way”. They could improve on this.“

“It is a restaurant in a non-touristy neighborhood of Braga. The business is frequented by people from the city. Menu at an incredible price (for its offer) and the menu with very good prices from half portions to full portions. We recommend the entrecôte, cod and picaña! The treatment was exquisite, very friendly!“

They take care of all the details, from the plates to the tablecloths. We liked this small restaurant that goes beyond the Portuguese tourist menu and mixes world dishes with local cuisine.

Vegetarian options: many options, spices and aromas from around the world“

“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“

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.“

“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.

“Refined and exquisite culinary experience. Dishes cooked with local products. It's been a long time since I had such an experience. Besides, it had fun and experimental sides. In addition, awareness of the ecology of the problem of plastics in the ocean.
The dishes were presented with great mastery by António. The wine list was extensive.“

“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“

“The environment is pleasant. An old stone building with exquisite wooden furniture.

The service is attentive.

The food is very good, with tasty tapas, although I consider the price to be high for the size of the portions and the ingredients used. The tapas portions called "Pica Pau" and "Ovos Rotos" are excellent.

I think the wine options are relatively expensive. I miss a better value for money.

“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 stopped at this little restaurant on our way back from Bom Jesus, and would highly recommended both ! Service at the restaurant was first class Food was very tasty (I had the calzone and my wife had the goulash- both came with rice, veggies and salad)) with portions large enough to take some home for later. Two meals, desert, waters and a pot of tea… with plenty of change from a €20.“

“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.“

“Impeccable pizzas, made not in an oven but in frying pans!, and they come with crispy dough and quality products! The only "sin" for being small and having 2 outdoor tables, but the quality of the food and service are well worth it! We will be back!“

“We had dinner here and everything was spectacular! A soft and delicious rice and an exaggerated amount! Lots of fish and shrimp. A very good taste. The only thing we didn't like was that he offered us to choose a starter from a tray, but the way he did it seemed to be a courtesy, as they do in many restaurants. And we have been charged and at a "golden" price to be here in Portugal. In the end, the quality and service was worth it. We would go back and we could decide better if we wanted the entrance or not ;)“

“Manjar das Francesinhas, in Braga, offers an authentic experience, enhanced by Mr. José's spectacular service. His dedication and charisma provide a welcoming atmosphere, perfectly complementing the delicious francesinhas served with mastery, as well as great beer options.“

“Great place and comfortable service! The restaurant is located in a cozy central historical location. It is fashionable to sit inside or on the terrace outside. I tried the most delicious steak in Portugal. The menu includes dishes of national and European cuisine. Highly recommend!“

“(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.“

“It deserved a better location but being inside the restaurant and after appreciating everything that is available to us with unmatched friendliness and professionalism, the location is no longer of interest. Coming back and taking the opportunity to try other excellent suggestions.“

“An authentic gastronomic treasure hidden in the city of Braga!
Very well maintained rustic house. The menu is very varied, with obvious emphasis on the different ways of serving cod. We chose the same one wrapped in puff pastry, and I guarantee it was the most divine cod I've eaten outside of home in a long time! Only by trying it will you be sure of what I say. Even the cod fritters for starters are a positive surprise as they contain more fish (very tasty!) than potatoes.
Please note that the famous Papas de Sarrabulho are only made in winter, so don't be mistaken! There are Rojões, and the homemade desserts are worth a look... and taste. How wonderful!
The exemplary welcome from Mr. Rolando, who manages the space with his sister, is to be commended. Whether in the food advice or in the two conversations that we pleasantly maintained.
I strongly recommend a visit to this house with excellent homemade food and prices in line with what is served to us. My sincere congratulations!

Parking: There is no possibility of parking on the street. Only nearby.“

“Amazing place! Just like the previous one in Apúlia, this restaurant is just amazing! Wonderful service, marvellous and tasty food… you just go and don’t want to leave! When leaving you need to return! I will return again and again and again!!!!!!!!

Parking: Just can’t park by the restaurant! Need to park around 200m away! Not bad on summer but not good in winter!!!!“

“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.“

“We eat very well.
Except the slightly overwhelmed table service.
Too much focus on existing customers and less on new customers.
My food is very good. THANKS

Parking: If parking plan rather it is parked in the street after going up to the church. We normally find.“

“The restaurant is beautiful and the waitress was very friendly and attentive to us. Our daughter enjoyed her cheeseburger kids menu and we were blown away by the grilled entrecôte and grilled Dorada. We knew it would be good, but we were in for a surprise because it was wonderful!!! We even thanked the cook for preparing us a great dinner. I just want to give them 10 stars⭐️

Kid-friendliness: Splendid kids menu?“

“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.“

“The price-quality ratio is good compared to other take away places (I'm just referring to take away). The portions have become more generous (now the potato sticks are much smaller), but the service is quick (even more so at the counter inside than at the drive in). The barbecue chicken is tasty.“

“An exceptional gastronomic experience at this restaurant in Braga! The Bacalhau à Narcisa was simply wonderful, a traditional dish prepared with mastery. The combination of flavors was perfect, and the presentation was impeccable. Without a doubt, one of the best cod dishes I've ever tasted. I recommend this restaurant to all lovers of good Portuguese food and who value great service. Five stars to the team for culinary excellence!“

“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“
