Portuguese Restaurants near Santa Marinha Do Zezere, PT

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Dîner vraiment très bien. La prestation est loins des standards portugais. Nous sommes là sur de la qualité autant sur le service que sur la nourriture et cerise sur le gâteau maintenant que la rue est devenue piétonne le cadre est encore mieux. Honnêtement si vous aimez la gastronomie et que vous passez sur Amarante il faut y faire un arrêt.“

“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!“

“We went as a family, with children.
The food was a success. The fries menus were huge and everything we ordered was great.
Normally we go to more traditional Portuguese cuisine restaurants, but this choice was a success.

Vegetarian options: They have several vegetarian dishes on the menu, including burgers.

Kid-friendliness: Children are allowed.

Wheelchair accessibility: The place has stairs outside, so it is not accessible for wheelchairs.“

“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.“

“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

“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!“

“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.“

“I would say that it is almost the best sushi I have ever tried in my life. Since we were in Portugal we wanted to have something more traditional but we ended up here and we couldn't be happier. The sushi was delicious and they did very good service, the buffet price is GREAT!

Vegetarian options: If you tell them that you are vegetarian, they will make you a more personalized sushi for you, this is what they did for my friend who was delighted.“

“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.“

“In 2021 we had already gone there and loved it, we returned this year (2024) and of course we had to go there.

Service, food, atmosphere 5*

The garlic bread with bacon is very good, as are the pizzas and passion fruit sangria. We loved it again and totally recommend it.

There is parking at the door.
Super nice terrace.“

“Small, family-run restaurant frequented mainly by locals, menu with various tapas and local dishes.
We tasted several things and accompanied everything with some house wine. It was all very good.
Fast but attentive service. Incredibly low prices even considering the quality of what we ate.
Absolutely recommended“

“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“

“Great place to eat for €7.5 per night with bread, soup, coffee and drink. Without a doubt it is a find these days. The employees are very welcoming and the service is very fast. The food is simple and traditional, great for trying typical Portuguese foods. I will come back here for sure“

“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.“

“In the city center we discovered this excellent restaurant that welcomed us very warmly. We chose a table on the balcony which gave our dinner a fresh feel.
The food was excellent, with simple things but very well combined, for example, mushrooms with cheese and a touch of mint....... Desserts follow the same policy.
Place to consider whenever you return to Amarante“

“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!“

“The best cod we ate, everything was delicious even the vegetables were amazing tasting.
We loved everything we ordered, from start to finish.
And for the quality, I can't complain about the price.
We will certainly repeat it.
We finally found a restaurant with quality and a unique flavor.“

“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!“

“Restaurant located in the Six Senses Douro Valley hotel.
Prestigious place, with a sublime atmosphere where details such as ambiance, comfort, lighting, are followed to the letter.
On the 31/05th, I went to this restaurant for dinner and with the hot day, we stayed on the terrace. Adequate ambient music, an atmosphere with great class and good taste. All framed with a wonderful view over the Douro River.
The cod fillet was divine, offering perfect flakes and the ideal touch of salt. I felt a soft crunch on the skin, counterbalancing the softness of the very well seasoned lupine puree.
Unfortunately I don't give 5 stars for the service. In fact, the service definitely deserved 3 stars, especially for the sommelier.
We ordered wine to accompany the meal and were not given any introduction, explanation of grape varieties, methods, etc. as indeed, it is the work of a professional sommelier. In general, the entire attitude of indifference towards us, the lack of empathy and sympathetic dialogue has created a glaring gap. Basically, there was a lot of superiority for little professionalism.
The same lack of friendliness was felt by the only employee working that day.
I close by saying that in a hotel and restaurant of this range, these foundations of good service should be natural and mandatory.
In a restaurant experience with dishes with so much technique and quality of presentation and ingredients, being tarnished due to a lack of tact on the part of the wait staff is serious.“

“Pastries are awesome and made in house. It was hopping busy but we got served asap, with coffees and pastry delivered to our seats on the covered patio overlooking the river. A literal bird ate crumbs from my wife's hand. I half expected someone to burst into song from an overhead window.“

“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.“

“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“

“(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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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

Kid-friendliness: They had a baby chair“

“(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 !“

“One of the best places to eat in Amarante, the food is a delight at all levels, the service is spectacular and unbeatable, the place is beautiful with beautiful views from the terrace, I recommend it 100% and if I return to Amarante I will return to this one restaurant“

“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!“

“I will not hesitate to say that the roast lamb from the oven made the dinner one of the outstanding meals of our 21 day tour of Portugal.

Friendly, welcoming, good advice and great food, the team is outstanding and the menu with plenty of choices.

So we are here again for dinner and looking forward to the chef's version of Bacalhau.

Waiting in anticipation.“

“We ordered seafood and meat.
Fresh seafood, well prepared.
Tasty and tender meat!
Friendly and professional service!
Very pleasant space.
Different menu for a different experience.
If possible, I recommend booking.“

“We went in because we were thirsty, we had some beers with their fine sweets and then we took their 5 specialties. They are almost the same dough of eggs wrapped in different textures, a delight, it's back to the 70's, and I have remembered those fine pastries that were made when I was little, the place was very nice and the staff very correct, we loved it“

“(Translated by Google) A pleasant surprise this place, the environment is simple, the quality and flavor are great and the price is very good. We ordered two Galão and 3 snacks and it cost €5.(Original)Uma grata surpresa esse local, o ambiente é simples, a qualidade e sabor são ótimos e o preço é muito bom. Pedimos dois Galão e 3 salgados e saiu por 5€.“

“A true typical Portuguese restaurant. Excellent quality homemade food. Average price €20 per person. Very cozy atmosphere, especially in winter with the fireplace warming the place.Just a negative note, they only accept cash payments, it's better to be prepared!Without a doubt, I recommend it.“

“Nice discovery, very pleasant welcome.Made of groceries of local products, upstairs made of restaurant.Very good cassoulet, good quantity, well served. it's tradition in lamego Thursday is the day of the feijoada dish ?Affordable price .Reserve the table, the restaurant is small during the summer and is always full.I recommend ?“

“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“

“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“

“When I want to eat well and be well served, I always go back to Tasquinha da Ponte. The food is deliciously homemade and the service is quick and very friendly. The atmosphere is rustic and welcoming. The price is very good. I highly recommend it!“

“When I arrived at this restaurant, I realized that I didn't just come for an ordinary place, but to visit my family. I came from Ukraine and visiting you was a wonderful event for me. Delicious food, fine wine and people who take care of you with eyes full of love ❤️
I recommend this place to anyone who wants to know and understand the soul of Portugal. Great view of the river!“

“First of all a very beautiful view to my town.
And inside no words to say for the excellent and kind service , now on the food is with a local products and a taste delicious.
Thanks for the moment and all tasty foods.
Best wishes for the future .“

“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 ?

Kid-friendliness: Baby stroller space“

“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 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.“

“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!“
