“One of the best places to eat traditional and with the flavors that characterize our country!
From lamb to steaks, from starters to the occasional toast to eat and cry for more and with owners who haven't been in business for 2 days
A house of tradition and respect, with a mandatory stop for those who enjoy excellent gastronomic experiences“

“A great experience! Friendly atmosphere, helpful staff and very good food.
We ordered garlic bread with cheese (starter), cod puff pastry and a vimaranes francesinha.
To finish, we tried the Dona Maria sweet, an excellent combination of chocolate mousse with camel baba, biscuits and cream.
Without a doubt, I will repeat it when I return to Guimarães.“
“(Translated by Google) A great experience, you choose your fish in the window and it is grilled to perfection. A treat...with potatoes, salad and spinach with garlic. The staff and Monsieur Louis are super friendly and speak French. I recommend, to do after visiting the castles of Guimaraes.(Original)Une super expérience, on choisit son poisson dans la vitrine et il est grillé à souhait. Un régal...avec pommes de terre, salade et épinards à l'ail. Le personnel et monsieur Louis sont super aimables et parlent français. Je recommande, à faire après la visite des châteaux de Guimaraes.“

“The food was divine, starting with the starters: suckling pig patties and cod cakes.
The dishes: we ordered cod with cornbread, cod with hillock and veal steak.
A highlight is the hilly cod, served with delicious mashed potatoes.
Dessert: the almond tart was wonderful.
Another very positive aspect of the restaurant: the service. All professionals are very attentive, efficient and kind.
The location and ambience of the restaurant are also very pleasant.
Congratulations to all the professionals at Restaurante do Outeiro for providing unforgettable moments for the restaurant's patrons.“

“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!“

“What a cosy place to eat. We went there two times and the food was always good. During the lunch time they serve typical Portuguese "diária" when you can eat for 7,5€. We ate there during dinner time as well, when you can ask food from the meny. We tried francesinha and naco and both of them were very tasty. Recomend!“

“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.
S. Gião is a must-visit for anyone in Guimarães looking for an exceptional dining experience. Don't miss out on their outstanding pasta, tiramisu, mushrooms, and Smashed Eggs - your taste buds will thank you!
Highly recommend S. Gião for a truly unforgettable meal in Guimarães. Book your table now and get ready for a culinary journey!“

“Nous avons eu l’occasion de manger ici et nous n’avons pas été déçus. Le service est très agréable et le gérant est au petits soins pour ses clients ! Nous avons très bien mangé ! Le plateau de fromage était bien rempli et varié, le vin servi frais était très bon ! Et les plats succulents (le ragoût avait cuit pendant plusieurs heures). ? Je pense qu’il est indispensable de préciser que lorsque nous sommes venus, le gérant gérait tout seul (service et cuisine). Bravo monsieur, nous vous remercions pour ce bon moment. ?“

“I've known Café Oscar since 1999, when I arrived in Portugal...from England.It's changed its image in recent years... now it's much more chic. But prices remain reasonable.I don't think there is another cafe in Guimarāes that compares to this one. Reminds us of la belle époque. ?“

“Toca do Coelho is a true gastronomic treasure where the friendliness of Mr. Félix and the entire team is as warm as the dishes served. The food is excellent, each dish a true culinary masterpiece that delights the palate. The environment is welcoming and invites you to enjoy memorable moments. I recommend it without any hesitation, everything is excellent, from the service to the last bite. It's a constant shame when we have to leave this place after such good times, but with the certainty that there will always be an irresistible desire to return...“
“Very good meat. Very well decorated in all its dining rooms.
Good attention.
A little dark for dinner.
It's surprising what hides inside those ugly walls.
You have to pay attention because it goes unnoticed.“

“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 ??.“

“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!!“

“Very pleasant surprise with this restaurant. We ordered rojões and feijoada from Trás-os-Montes as the menu of the day, served with caldo verde, regional bread and house wine, of excellent quality, for just €6.5!
The staff were very attentive and quick.
Relaxed atmosphere in the historic center of Guimarães.
Congratulations to you ?????“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Quinta da Lama, a former olive oil mill that has been transformed into a delightful restaurant. The place exudes a cozy and rustic charm, with clay pots and vintage stone adorning the dining room.The menu offers a wide range of dishes, from traditional Portuguese cuisine to Mediterranean and European influences. I opted for the “posta à lagar”, a succulent tenderloin steak cooked in olive oil and garlic, and the cod with cornbread, a classic Portuguese dish that was moist and flavorful. Both dishes were exquisite and prepared with fresh and quality ingredients. The salads and bread were also very good.For dessert, I indulged in the “leite creme”, a creamy custard with a caramelized crust. It was heavenly, one of the best I ever had. I also enjoyed the house wine, a local red wine that complemented the food perfectly.The service was impeccable and attentive, and the prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. I had a splendid time at Quinta da Lama and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and satisfying dining experience in Amarante.“

“Excellent restaurant at all levels. From welcoming customers to farewell. Always attentive and incredibly friendly and helpful. The food is great and with very generous portions. Good wine, good room close to the city center of Guimarães (by car), but far enough away to not feel the typical service for tourists where you don't feel the homely touch. Beautiful family dinner.“

“We visited this restaurant during Feira Afonsina and so the menu was limited to a few dishes. As a suggestion, we ate “Porcalhada”, an original dish from this place. We really enjoyed the experience! Very welcoming and affordable restaurant.“

“Attention and waiting times to be served perfect. Nothing to say either about the food, very delicious.
The only drawback that the place has for me and for which I do not give 5 stars is that in practically all the dishes the price is given based on weight (for example steak €40/kilo). This means that you don't really know what the price of a portion is and that when you get the bill you don't know if they are charging you right or wrong since you never know the weight of the piece that has been served to you. It is a topic that I did not like at all since it is always up to the restaurant to charge you one price or another since no one tells you what is the weight of the piece that they are going to serve you. Very limited menu and practically all dishes priced at €40 - €45/kilo.“

“Without a doubt our best meal in 11 days in Portugal. Lively, warm interior. We were greeted immediately by management and staff as we were shown to our table. Service was spot on. And I do mean spot on. Each tapa we ordered was excellent as was the sangria. Excellent wine list. Great value for money. Rio's was booked solid so be sure to make a reservation. We prefer places with local "vibe" and local customers; Rio's on the night we were there was filled with Americans like us. Still, a first class experience. Would return without hesitation.“

“The restaurant offers a very pleasant atmosphere, ideal for family gatherings without noise or confusion. The staff is friendly and attentive. The starters are well prepared, including paladinhos, pataniscas, octopus, cod, alheira puff pastry, vegetable puff pastry and ham. The Spanish-style cod accompanied by stewed potatoes and Douro red wine made the meal perfect. The burnt cream milk dessert, despite not being homemade, complemented with coffee ended the experience. The visit is worth repeating.“

“We were looking for a place to eat francesinhas because my children didn't want to return from Portugal without trying them and we found Real Plazza: a total success. Variety of francesinhas with original combinations and without excess sauce (although they offer you more if you want to add), very pleasant service and a modern, clean place. We had a lot of food left over, so I recommend the option of sharing.“

“One of the best local restaurants for traditional Portuguese food. Starters are really tasty, with plenty of choices. The main dishes are very flavorful, very reminiscent of traditional Portuguese food. The same goes for the desserts, where you have your typical creme brulee, cookie cake, etc. all very well prepared and with a nice balance of flavors. The staff is very funny and welcoming! And the atmosphere is a nice balance between a traditional tavern and a cozy elegant restaurant. I really liked it, and can only recommend the Naco Folhado and Cookies Cake in the pictures :)
Vegetarian options: You Will not find many (or any) vegetarian options in the menu, but I'm pretty sure if you call in advance they will prepare something for you, a friend or a relative one.“

“We stumbled upon this restaurant through the good reviews it has on Tripadvisor. And it lived up to every single one of them! The food is great. We ordered some different dishes to share and everything was really tasty. Our favorites were the pork cheek, polvo, shiitake and the smoked chorizo. Also, the staff is amazing. They had great recommendations, were super friendly and made sure we had a good time. We had the privilege to go there twice and it was a pleasure. From the outside it may look a bit unassuming but don’t let that fool you. Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.“

“Good entries and a lot of prices on offer. It would be better if the steak was cooked less and the bread had a less dense crumb to let the meat shine more. I think the bread is quite good, but it should have a softer crumb to make the meat feel better.“
