Portuguese Restaurants near Santa Cruz Do Douro, PT

“The best restaurant we went to this week we spent in Douro (we came more than once). Super welcoming place with homemade and honest food. Mr. Joaquim made us want to come back with his kindness and care in the treatment. We also had the opportunity to meet Dona Custódia, the chef in the kitchen who, in addition to being a great cook, always brings a smile on her face.
We will definitely come back and refer the site to all our friends.“

“This restaurant tries to simulate life in an old house in Portugal, in any village. The detail of eating by the light of oil lamps, the uniforms of the employees, the food cooked in a huge fireplace and the raw state of the construction achieve the objective. Well prepared food and attentive service. Cream milk is simply delicious! Well worth the trip. I recommend“

“Impeccable team, they welcomed us after hours and still served fantastic food, with a stunning view and a super careful and pleasant atmosphere ? To come back ??

Vegetarian options: Wonderful salad, magnificent soup ?

“What a wonderful meal! Unexpectedly we debuted Oma's new menu. Everything was excellent, but when we talked about the meal again the opinion was unanimous, and the highlights were: the brioche (from the house's homemade breads), the cauliflower purée from the starter, the crispy potato (from the Presa à Bulhão Pato) and the texture of the Veal. In dessert, the highlighted element was fig leaf oil. The chef's mastery was noted, accompanied by the extreme friendliness of the service. Ending as we began: a wonderful meal!“

“Pleasant surprise!
Very pleasant restaurant involved in “Tongobriga”, Chef Paulo Damatta is very attentive and the dishes are very well prepared with his personal touch, congratulations.
We had a veal skewer for lunch with cracked eggs, and a mushroom toasted starter! 5*
I'll definitely go back there... I recommend it.“

“Very high level.
Simply divine food, from starters to desserts, prices within normal limits, but considering the quality, I would say they are even affordable. And the service is very friendly.
I recommend it without any doubt!“

“It was our second time at this restaurant. The location is excellent, next to (and overlooking) a small waterfall on the Teixeira River.
Now there is new management.
We ate breast accompanied by salad, rice, potatoes and black beans. Everything was good, but the rice was great.
We also ate Peasant Steak with mushroom sauce, accompanied by rice and potatoes. Using my husband's words: "It was divine."
The atmosphere remains very pleasant and the service is very good.“

“Restaurante super acolhedor, empregado de mesa muito simpático. E a menina também! COMIDA MARAVILHOSA! Comer e chorar por mais! Vim numa escapadinha com o minha namorada, mas já queremos trazer a família inteira para vir aqui experimentar! Comemos T-bone, acompanhado com arroz branco e batata frita ? Ah! De entrada alheira frita, também maravilhosa!“

“One of the best restaurants I've been to in recent years! ?? This charming spot offers a delightful mix of Italian and Portuguese local cuisine. They have a wood oven for baking perfect pizzas and calzones. Though I haven't tried the pasta, it looks amazing! The Portuguese dishes I tried were fantastic, and the desserts are simply divine. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend! ???? #Foodie #ItalianFood #PortugueseCuisine #BestRestaurant #PizzaLover #FoodieFind

“Restaurant for a quick and economical meal.
The space is very pleasant, the friendliness of the team too.
They didn't give a menu, they just said the dish of the day and it was good.
For €8.5, we got bread, which was great; drink, I opted for the red verde wine, very good; soup, it was good; dish, which was also good and well served; and dessert that didn't compromise.
In the end the quality, quantity / price ratio is very good.“

“Today I discovered this space by chance and it was a pleasant surprise.
Cozy space, excellent service, very well prepared food and Mr. Fernando's innate knowledge of welcoming.
All very good.
Place to revisit.

Parking: I recommend parking next to the picnic area, as the restaurants are not far away.“

“2024... Better than it was in previous years! Different for the better! It wasn't bad, it was good, however with the new management everything got better!
Prices are also normal, even a little lower than what I have experienced in the rest of the country!
8 dishes from the menu, starters, drinks, desserts, ice creams and coffees for €146 is a very reasonable price and very good service. To be repeated as often as possible!“

“Starting with the enormous friendliness of the service. Homemade hamburger, very well prepared. The lady said that the specialty is francesinha. If it's even better than the hamburger, it's more than enough reason to go back there. recommended“

“I know this restaurant well, I've had lunch there more than a dozen times, I was there in August for lunch with my sister, it was full, I ended up staying on the terrace and I loved it, good food, moderate prices and good service, I recommend it.“

“We went to dinner at this restaurant on the recommendation of the couple from the farm where we stayed and it was a pleasant surprise! Wonderful food, all the staff is very friendly, the next day we went there again for dinner, without a doubt a place to visit again when we return to Cinfaes!“

“Absolutely perfect restaurant in which we spent a great evening with the family. We happily tasted the Portuguese specialties and everything was delicious and plentiful.Special mention to Carlos who is an extraordinary and passionate man. His kindness and professionalism transported us. We are delighted with this discovery and hope to return during the next vacation.“

“Just FABULOUS!After numerous trips to Portugal and countless restaurants,What a surprise ! The cuisine is really tasty and surprising. The Beiral cod was very good. And what about beef steak? A beautiful piece of meat cooked to perfection, covered with bread, olives, garlic and parsley. From the first bite to the last, a real festival for your taste buds!You will be looked after by your hosts! The boss is very friendly and speaks a little French.Their own vinho verde is a Brussels medalist and will perfectly accompany your evening.The setting is impeccableEverything is there to have a good time!We recommend and we will come back“

“One of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at. The food is abundant, tasty and at affordable prices.
The service was very attentive at all times, always checking if we were okay or needed something else.
The atmosphere of the place is beautiful!
RECOMMENDABLE!“

“(Translated by Google) Beautiful space and very quiet environment. Friendly service, but inefficient in the proposal of options to eat. No tapas or list service were suggested, just simple dishes of the day. At another table, another collaborator presented a larger "range" of alternatives - we had already placed the order - It was the main reason for the classification. After the start of lunch, it was suggested to bring more fillets and/or accompaniments if desired. The hake fillet and potatoes were delicious. Biscuit cake is also very good. I would like to point out that we were at the restaurant next door waiting for the table to be cleaned, when I noticed that there was a tapas house - with good recommendation "maps"... Easy parking in front or on the street. Cheap price with coffee included in the dish of the day.(Original)Espaço bonito e com ambiente muito sossegado. Atendimento simpático, mas pouco eficiente na proposta de opções para comer. Não foram sugeridas tapas nem serviço de lista e sim apenas pratos simples do dia. Em outra mesa, outra colaboradora apresentou um maior "leque" de alternativas - já tínhamos feito o pedido - Foi a principal razão da classificação. Após o início do almoço foi sugerido trazer mais filetes e/ou acompanhamento se assim o desejasse. O fillete de pescada e as batatas estavam saborosas. Bolo de bolacha também muito bom. Gostaria de salientar que estávamos na porta do restaurante do lado a espera da limpeza da mesa, quando reparei que havia uma casa de tapas - com boa recomendação "maps"... Estacionamento fácil em frente ou na rua. Preço barato com café incluído no prato do dia.“

“There are popular little restaurants that deserve stars
This is the case at Convivio where you are served with an abundance of meat, fish and octopus (top).

“We want to express our sincerest gratitude to the Douro a Vista restaurant for providing a truly memorable experience. From the warm welcome to the delicious food, every moment was simply unforgettable. The team demonstrated exemplary professionalism and exceptional care in every detail, ensuring that we felt truly pampered throughout our meal. The environment, combined with the spectacular view, created a magical atmosphere that made our visit even more special. We are immensely grateful for the wonderful experience and look forward to returning soon!
A big thank you from all the guests who were present at my in-laws' 50th birthday, whether they were Portuguese, French or Swiss, everyone was delighted.“

“Very cozy tavern, calm and relaxed atmosphere, excellent food with good presentation, but not in (too much) quantity... the interior is very well distributed and the decor is of excellent taste, also good hygiene in all spaces. They have an open terrace, with a good arrangement of tables, and a large, more relaxed atmosphere with music. The prices are not very affordable, but they make up for everything else, as they are moments well spent, of emotional socialization.“

“After doing the PR4 in Serra da Aboboreira, the goal was to miss the famous year in the oven. There wasn't, but we were compensated by a good meal and excellent greenery in the region. As it's the Christmas season, we ended with an excellent French toast. Thank you for the welcome and excellent service. It is recommended.“

“(Translated by Google) Perfect delicacies, it's just a pity not to have kept the point of sale in Porto because having to go to Marco is still a considerable journey, but eating less is keeping the delicacies in the mind and thus not easily forgotten. Mandatory visit.(Original)Iguarias perfeitas, é só pena não ter mantido o ponto de venda no Porto porque ter que ir ao Marco ainda é uma deslocação considerável, mas comer-se menos é mantém-se as iguarias na mente e assim não se esquece com facilidade. Obrigatório a visita.“

“(Translated by Google) Cozido à Portuguesa , Anho roast and much more , with excellent quality .Inviting price.I recommend !(Original)Cozido à Portuguesa , Anho assado e muito mais , com excelente qualidade .Preço convidativo.Recomendo !“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent, for those who need to go to the Marco Canavezes area, there is no better place to have your meal.From the service to the friendliness of the owner, not forgetting the quality of the meat and the inviting price.Coming back soon.(Original)Excelente, para quem necessita de ir para a zona do Marco Canavezes, não há melhor para fazer a sua refeição.Desde o atendimento á simpatia da proprietária, não esquecendo a qualidade da carne e o preço convidativo.A voltar em breve.“

“Bean rice and salpicão very good!
Really good homemade bread!
Price also good. 1 dose of Rice/Salpicão is good for 2 people.
Quick service
It is best to go before 12pm (opening time) due to the large crowd at lunch time“

“We arrived around 3pm and were greeted with great friendliness! We were hoping for the goat but, of course, at this time it's impossible so we opted for the suggestion of the friendly girl who helped us. Grilled chunks of veal with vegetables, rice and French fries. The vegetables were wonderful! The meat was the best I've had in a long time!!! The delicious rice and potatoes, which I prefer, were very tasty. We accompanied it with house red mature wine, very good!! The cream milk (which I don't even like) was delicious!!!The price was very affordable for such quality! I will definitely be back.Thank you very much“

“We loved our dinner here. The soup of the day was great and we had an aroquesa steak for two. The meat was incredible in addition to the portion being huge at an unbeatable price (25 euros for 2 people). Coming back!

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian sausage

“(Translated by Google) Caravela Restaurant reopened with new management and cook. A new concept, which knew how to adapt regional cuisine to current local cuisine. Friendly, cordial and efficient service. I recommend visiting for tasting and appreciation.(Original)O Restaurante Caravela reabriu com nova gerência e cozinheiro. Um conceito novo, que soube adaptar a cozinha regional à atualidade da gastronomia local. Atendimento simpático, cordial e eficiente. Recomendo a visita para degustação e apreciação.“

“Excellent food, very well prepared, in a wood-fired oven. I highly recommend the goat or lamb. But the goat is really the best there is in Portugal, it's not a "kid", 6 or 7 years old!!!! I just don't give 5 stars on everything because it depends on who is being served! There are two employees there who litter the parking lot! And the price, in my opinion, is a little exaggerated! Not in the dose of goat or lamb but in drinks, desserts, starters....etc! Apart from that, if you want to eat the best goat we have in Portugal, it's a TOP place. The other drawback is the size of the parking lot, very small!“

“Amazing fresh fish. Tasted like it had jumped from the sea to the grill. Friendly hosts too. Very kid to give us a couple of complimentary glasses of port each too! Great wine also. Fish was just incredible though. Flawlessly prepared and cooked“

“(Translated by Google) Restaurant with reduced menu but cheap. Well-prepared dishes, very good Douro wine and friendly service.(Original)Restaurante com Menu reduzido mas barato. Pratos bem confecionados, vinho muito bom do Douro e simpatia no atendimento.“

“The food is good. We ordered the fillets and the veal skewer, which to my surprise came with cabbage instead of greens like in the photos.
The atmosphere is not welcoming at all, with loud television and morning programs from conventional channels.“

“Super fast service!
Nice outdoor terrace.

Service? Wonderful! Super friendly.
Large doses at economical prices (half a dose was enough for two people).

We liked it so much that we came back two days in a row! And try Resende's typical sweet: cavacas
A fluffy cake with sugar icing“

“Great Frenchie; tender nail, on point; pleasant environment and friendly staff...
And much more is served in this establishment, in addition to the friendliness and "knowing how to please" the customer!
And I still think the same way, even though I went back there today and I didn't like it at all. The steak was tough and, despite having ordered it rare, it was hard and dry. It's as if steak meat, once it's time for the holidays, no longer has quality. Even the quantity changes. For me, it's enough, because I don't get much, but, taking into account the prices, the quality should be proportional.
I'm honestly starting to think that during the summer it's not worth going to restaurants: they serve worse and are more expensive.“

“Within a 10km radius, there are not many other choices than this small, authentic restaurant. And what a nice surprise!

The food is excellent, the portions are generous for very affordable prices: €20 for two with starter, main course, dessert and drinks! The waitress is also very welcoming.“

“Excellent restaurant located in the parish of Ancede, municipality of Baião, district of Porto, Portugal.
I've had the opportunity to have lunch at this restaurant several times and it's always worth it!!!
Very good food, tasty, appetizing, delicious, makes you want to eat more and more.
I sincerely wish you much success and health.
Here’s to many years of wonderful food!“

“Excellent Price/Quality ratio.
2 Francesinhas and 4 Colas were just €19.50. The sauce doesn't seem to be homemade, but for the price you pay you can't ask for more.
The pizzas look great, I regret not trying them.
Definitely to come back when I return to this area.“

“(Translated by Google) Pleasant place. Very well prepared food. Super friendly staff. Moderately priced. To be repeated without a doubt.(Original)Lugar aprazível. Comida muito bem confecionada. Pessoal super simpático. Preço moderado. A repetir sem dúvida.“

“(Translated by Google) I don't know anything about kebab, but the fact is that we enjoyed it. Local "neighborhood bar" style, without manners, friendly service and good quality food.(Original)Je n'y connais rien au kebab, mais le fait est que nous avons apprécié. Local de style "bar de quartier", sans façons, service aimable et nourriture de bonne qualité.“

“(Translated by Google) The food was so good that at a certain point during dinner, I thought I was having dinner at home. Even TOP. I loved(Original)A comida estava tão boa que a determinada altura do jantar, achei que estava a jantar em casa. Mesmo TOP. Adorei“

“After 113km cycling through the breathtaking landscapes of the Montemuro mountains, Cinfães, Resende, Douro River, Samodães and Lamego, we arrived at the restaurant and as the “farmer-style pasta” dish of the day was no longer available, we opted for Naco na Pedra. Fantastic food and the best service. Thank you for your kindness Maria João and good luck for the future! We intend to return at the next opportunity.“

“(Translated by Google) Great place, the food was very good and the waitress who served us was great, she put a lot of effort into making us understand each other and it's great if we come back here we'll be back.????(Original)Sitio estupendo ,la comida muy buena y la camarera que nos atendió estupenda puso mucho empeño en que nos entendiéramos y fenomenal si volvemos por aquí volveremos .????“

“Delicious food, cooked over wood and therefore understandably takes longer to prepare. Friendly service but clearly insufficient for the influx of customers, causing additional delays and some errors in orders.

Fantastic Frenchies, full of flavor. In the end, some confusion in the accounts.“

“Excellent traditional Portuguese meal. We had the alhiera sausage and split a dose of the octopus. We also had the pudim for dessert.Everything was cooked to perfection, they were very nice and patient with us, (we don’t speak much Portuguese). They were also open late which was perfect for after a long day hiking!“

“Lagoa Restaurant. Delicious rice. With good menus such as lamb chanfana, roast lamb and lagoon steak. The steak prego and the chicken in the púcara are very good. In Seia, visit and taste delicious Portuguese cuisine for yourself.

Vegetarian options: Omelets, stewed vegetables.“

“Amazing service, Amazing food We sat outside on a lovely warm evening- staff were incredibly attentive and helpful- all food cooked to perfection- second time we have been to this restaurant in the evening and both occasions were faultless. We have eaten all over the Algarve and to be honest this restaurant is right up there - I don’t understand the bad reviews as price , quality and service was second to none - we will recommend to all - many thanks“
