European Restaurants near Raiva, PT

“Superb food, worthy of at least one Michelin star. Beautiful location with great views and friendly service. This is not only good for eating at when you're staying at the hotel but even for a special detour.(My only qualm is the markup on the wines. No '2x plus 12' here but many bottles selling at 400-500% markup. So a 8 euro bottle of sparkling wine becomes 40 euros and a glass 11. On a related note, some glasses are 1/5 of the bottle price (which makes sense), some 1/4 and some 1/3, which makes the per-glass price really high. The ports are much better priced and there is a good selection. Just be mindful when ordering.)“

“Cozy space, starters with very good homemade tomato jam. Other spectacular board with homemade products. We chose two different dishes and both were very good. The cod with a very good seafood sauce and the steak with onion and a very tasty sauce.
Overall it was a very good experience, in a welcoming space and with very tasty food.“

“We went in a group of practically 50 people to try this house. In a normal restaurant you would expect the quality to be compromised by the number of people in our group. But this is not a normal restaurant. It is simply one of the best restaurants in Portugal! The best veal, potatoes, goat, cabidela... everything that was placed on the table was superb. Including desserts. Congratulations on your home, we will certainly be back“

“A timeless and familiar space.
Whenever I spend a few days in Arouca it is mandatory to come here for lunch or dinner.
I've always gone there with my family, and we always go for the trout, which are farmed in-house and are a specialty.
This time, I tried the lamb in the oven and was once again amazed by its quality. A very tender meat, very well seasoned, so refined and with such a good and familiar flavor that it is difficult to put it into words.
You won’t leave here hungry or thirsty! the doses are very well served.
There is no menu and it is mandatory to book well in advance. This system is important so that there is no waste and guarantees the freshest food possible, as it is necessary to choose what we want to eat at the time of booking. Furthermore, it makes the meal very relaxed, as the delicacies flow to the table very fluidly.
Desserts are also a specialty. A creamy milk with a unique flavor and my favorite dessert is from this restaurant and is called dry soup. A flavor, a texture so simple and so good and I won't reveal more!
Mr. António in the living room and his wife in the kitchen, take this restaurant to a higher level every day through their friendliness, the art of hospitality and good cuisine.
I will come back again and again.“

“Excellent restaurant in Arouca. The veal is very tasty and well served. The service, despite not being very friendly, is attentive and professional! The atmosphere is relatively select, with ambient music and sober decor but with regional details. Very pleasant.“

We ordered francesinha and a stuffed veal dish. The francesinha was good, but we've had better. The veal was excellent.
For our taste it was great. Service was nothing special, but organized and quick.“

“We were very well attended to, the lady who served us was super friendly. We arrived early, we were served a sausage, some butter, olives and a basket of bread, all perfect.To eat, some prawns, which were addictive, very good. Homemade fries with the prawns and their sauce on top, an excellent combination. I just didn't like the seasoning of the salad.“

“Very friendly place, traditional food with local ingredients. The traditional dish is fritters with tomato rice and tomato salad. There is also a recipe that is ideal for hot days. Very busy place in the hot months. But it's worth the wait“

“I really enjoyed going to Andrés restaurant and I felt welcomed.I went with my family, my husband, and everything went very well.From arrival to departure.Very tasty food, I ordered the steak on the stone which was delicious, tender meat and all the accompaniments well prepared and flavorful.I didn't take a photo due to the enthusiasm of enjoying ourselves. (There was no time)??The desserts are also very good, the homemade pudding and the homemade tiramisu.We stayed at the table next to the box. registrar and we exchanged some opinions with the contributor about other dishes, which I was very impressed with and had my mouth watering to try.It has a wood-fired oven, which makes the rest of the menu tastier, because the wood-fired oven gives it a different and special flavor.Of note is the waiter who served our table, a Brazilian, I didn't ask, his name escaped me, as he was very friendly, welcoming, very polite, I really liked it, I really value these details that make all the difference in terms of being at ease while eating, he was listened to at the We ordered and everything came out perfectly without us having to ask for anything to be changed.It's very important because it's with the collaborator that everything starts and many times, it's a disaster and everything becomes more bitter.But in this case, this employee may stay in our country for many years and achieve his goals.?In the restaurant industry we need more people like this.So that they stay, that they are also recognized by those who manage human relationships.?It seemed to me in general that the environment among the work staff was good.?So good health to Adega Regional os Andrés.?Thank you for your service today, may it be repeated with me and other customers, because it leaves memories and a happier day.Well done.Porto.?“

“Restaurant with quality food and staff that make people come back time and time again (special mention for Vítor, who tries to please his customers in everything).The sangria is served in a generous jug and is one of the best I've ever tasted, both in quantity and quality - the red fruit sangria is a clear choice, but the passion fruit sangria is second to none.The restaurant has parking right in front (but you can also park in the Continente car park).On Wednesdays, the lunch menu includes suckling pig.“

“Had the pleasure to eat there yesterday. Had a set menu as part of the «Romantic package» from Dourwin - the hotel the restaurant is at.

The service was amazing and the staff spoke perfect english, were very helpful and interesting to talk to. Every dish was amazing, in particular the turbot and rice dish.

The surroundings were beautiful, and a perfect place to sit and eat during the sunset.“

“After a little motoring mishap, we remembered to stop by and 'try the cuisine' of this half-forgotten and unknown corner of Greater Porto.
The daily breading was bigger than any hand inside the restaurant/tasca and the bean rice was not far behind.
In terms of desserts, there is no special highlight, with house-made xiripiti accompanying the final coffee.
Coming back here to try the appetizers and other dishes on the menu.“

“If you go through Arouca on an excursion to the bridge and the passadisos del paiva, make a stop at the tasquinho, the beautiful atmosphere, the spectacular food, very filling and quality dishes at a price that is not seen in Spain, simple dishes without frills like me I like it, but above all the staff is very attentive and friendly.“

“We are here for my wife’s birthday! Fabulous meal, attentive service, great advice and the icing on the cake (or apple crumble in truth) was a birthday candle on her dessert!!The meats are high quality, I think veal must be their speciality as a lot of people around us had it!Definitely recommended!“

“Restaurant with excellent views of the valley and the river. I recommend watching the sunset here. The food is good and at regular prices. Paid 11 euros for a set of second, wine, etc. per person.

Parking: Parking open in front of the restaurant. Approximately 10 spaces.“

“Looks like a popular restaurant in town. Good meal I had here. I had carrot soup and wild boar stew .. it was very nice and served really well. Not expensive. The stew was provided with rice and fries .. (? fries everywhere). A restaurant that calls himself "typical food" shouldn't serve food with fries .. that's my take. Stew with fries ?‍♂️. For dessert i had the classic "arroz doce" - also super generous (sweet rice). Anyways was good and recommend. Special shout out to the staf: very friendly and familiar atmosphere. Recommended.“

“Best seitan I've ever had! The veganized version of this typical Portuguese dish was absolute delish! The owner /cook's daughter is vegan and so they used to have at least 2 vegan choices on the menu. As the daughter moved out, unfortunately now, you need to call one day in advance for vegan options. Updated from previous review on 2021-11-13“

“Very good overall. Friendliness from the restaurant owner who, as there was no ATM and seeing me confused, made his granddaughter's mbway available.The food is excellent with excellent seasoningThe tomato rice with naughty beans is delicious.The best is at the end €6.5 bread jug wine food platter and coffee.“

“Pleasant place to have a meal. Dishes well prepared despite finding the prices a little inflated. Desserts are also good. Another nice place to have a meal in the center of Arouca

Wheelchair accessibility: Does not have or is very difficult to access“

“(Translated by Google) Very good prices and the hamburgers are spectacular. Try the “Tequenhos” and they are incredible! very recommendable(Original)Precios muito bons e os hambúrgueres um espetácul.. Prove os “Tequenhos” e são incríveis! Muito recomendável“

“We went on vacation to Portugal and looking at the reviews we decided to go to the Tavern do Careca... a fantastic place and the food was spectacular. The waitresses were very friendly... we will definitely return on our next trip to Portugal“

“A very small place but they serve good food and good drink. An authentic tasco, but in the end we left satisfied and the value is reasonable compared to other restaurants. The food is freshly prepared and has a typical homemade taste and is very tasty. Whenever I go to Castelo de Paiva, I no longer look for another place to eat, I go straight to the Sporting winery. I recommend without a doubt.“

For €7, we are entitled to bread, drink, soup, dish, dessert and coffee.
We ordered and in less than 10 minutes, we were eating.
The food was good, with reasonable portions, but as there is soup and dessert, we were very happy“

“The place is a sort of bar/resto/cafe. Terrace is nice with a nice view to the river.The food was really nice. We had really nice beef that was nicely marinated in garlic and then grilled. Along with the beef rice, patato chips and some veggies were served. We also ordered an extra salad. We had vino verde, coffee and icecream and for 5 people (3 adults 2 kids) we paid around 70€. The view is very nice, but bring a sweater and pants in the evening (also in summertime) if you sit on the terrace.“

“Pizza was good and we’ll seasoned and was a generous size . Also had the chicken empanada and bacalao frittata . Would have preferred the frittata and empanada served hot but maybe it’s not the norm here ? They still tasted great though.Friendly staff too.“
