European Restaurants near Real, PT

“Friendly and welcoming place. Excellent service. I had bread for starters (freshly cooked) and olives that were very well seasoned, francesinha which is of very good quality and was very good and a delicious homemade strawberry cheesecake dessert. Personally, the only bad note has to do with the francesinha sauce since I'm used to the Belgian one and it's a little different. But tastes can't be discussed, my wife really liked it, so there's nothing like trying it ?
Definitely coming back...“

“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.“

“Emblematic space for Arouquense convent sweets right in front of the monastery!The staff is professional and the environment is beautiful and refined with decoration and furniture that makes the visitor feel special!It's my favorite "pastry shop" in Terras de Santa Mafalda.I highly recommend it!“

Parking: Parking next to the establishment will be 5 m away from the restaurant entrance.

Kid-friendliness: The space is large, perfectly suitable for children

“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.)“

“We really liked the food.
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.“

“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“

“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.“

“5 stars in everything for this restaurant: expert service and advice, great wine list, spectacular meat, plentiful side dishes. A better gastronomic experience is impossible. I really liked it, I recommend it.
(I had dinner on a Saturday night without an appointment for two people in mid-July. No queues and the restaurant was not very busy but there were some groups and birthdays)“

“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.“

“Had the Picanha, which was excellent.
We were unable to speak Portuguese, but fortunately our very kind waitress was fluent in English and even spoke German - both was not expected but of course nice

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.“

“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!“

“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.“

In addition to all this, it also has a stunning view over the Arouca valley that leaves anyone's mouth open, which is great for enjoying the magnificent flavors of this house!“

“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.“

“(Translated by Google) Very pleasant place, with friendly staff. Funny combination between pastry shop and restaurant, too bad there's only one dish for vegetarians, which was enough to manage.(Original)Local muito aprazível, e com funcionários simpáticos. Combinação engraçada entre pastelaria e restaurante, pena só ter um prato para vegetarianos, que deu para desenrascar.“

“Restaurant for everyday life. Quick and economical meals.
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.“

“(Translated by Google) Restaurant next to the Tâmega river, with excellent quality products, the price is a little higher compared to other restaurants, but when you want peace and a good place to be, I advise(Original)Restaurante junto ao rio Tâmega, com ótima qualidade de produtos, o preço é um pouco puxado em relação a outros restaurantes, mas quando se quer sossego e um bom sítio para estar, aconselho“

“(Translated by Google) Good food and good service. Menu with dishes of the day and à la carte. Prices are affordable. It has an excellent wine cellar with many brands of good wines. Good desserts.

“Good restaurant that I recommend but, this time, it left something to be desired. We ordered the starter and the grilled chunks of veal and they were very good, however, the other dish, chunks of pork with prawns, didn't measure up. The meat and prawns, despite being well seasoned, were extremely dry. The service also left something to be desired. Still, it deserves the 4 stars for the dishes that were good and other past visits to the restaurant“

“(Translated by Google) I loved the menu and a good restaurant I spent there with my family I give it five stars! Even because the food tasted good congratulations every day they improve the dish☺️(Original)Adorei o menu e um bom restaurante passei lá com minha família dou cinco estrelas!

“After hiking the Paiva trail, we were taken to this wonderful restaurant for lunch. The food was excellent. The beef and potatoes were very tasty cooked. The desserts are great too. An atmosphere of calm and well-being. Thanks to the restaurant staff.“

“There’s nothing to criticize about the food, but the reservation process and service could be improved. You have to reserve a table well in advance to avoid a long wait. I would suggest that they implement an online reservation system to prevent such issues. The service was okay; when we were there, the waiter forgot a dish but at least offered us free coffee.“

“I moved to Portugal almost 2 years ago, I ate here the best dish I ever had in Portugal so far. It was an amazingly cooked steak, super fresh, soft as heavn, perfect amount of sult. Big dish, amazing price. Very local restaurant but the water spoke English and was very helpful and nice. Nothing special to see in this town but should definitely visit for this place.“

“Welcoming, good food, good service. The environment itself is like many other restaurants where unfortunately you cannot have a conversation with another person who is with us without raising your voice to hear us. However, this is not the responsibility of the restaurant, it is the responsibility of the customers.

Wheelchair accessibility: It has good access for people with wheelchairs.“

“Guys, I was there on Saturday night. Sandro's service was exceptional. He was super attentive and patient with our table who asked a thousand questions. Besides, their pizza is very good, a very filling and tasty pizza (complements to the chef!). Let's go back to the meat arouquence!“
