32 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Sao Joao Da Madeira

“Nossa experiência foi surpreendente! Apesar de todas as avaliações que vimos, tudo superou nossas expectativas. Além da recepção calorosa, percebemos a qualidade dos ingredientes e o cuidado com a preparação que resultaram numa harmonia de sabores. Para nós dois, foi a melhor "francesinha" que já comemos! Certamente vamos indicar para amigos e familiares. É pena que não tivemos tempo para a parte doce, já planejamos voltar um dia só para provar todas as sobremesas do menu 😅 Updated from previous review on 2025-01-26“

“We had our lunch here on our group trip with Wendy Wu tours. The food and the service was outstanding and seeing the opera singer in the square before we went for lunch was a real treat. The owner of the restaurant was so friendly and could not do enough for our group. Big thank you for an excellent lunch.“

“Even though we made a reservation, it took an hour to serve a group of friends. The food was not ordered in advance. They promised to be faster if you order the food in advance.

Vegetarian options: The vegetarian salad was delicious.“

“I went to have lunch with a friend and we decided to come and try out this restaurant since we've both heard good things about it before.I had the peito de "frango recheado com alheira", the "carpaccio de vitela com queijo da ilha, rúcula e azeite de trufa" and the "leite creme" for dessert.Overall, I'd say the experience was above average, all the food was good, but nothing out of the ordinary, the wait staff was friendly and responsive and the restaurant had a good, but not very memorable, atmosphere.“

“(Translated by Google) From the service to the cakes and food, it's very good, in my opinion, not to mention the price is MT in mind ??(Original)Desde o atendimento aos bolos e comida é muito bom,na minha opinião, sem falar k tem preço MT em conta ??“

“On 06/04/2024 I went to D` Olive restaurant for lunch and I loved everything. Wonderful food, very beautiful decoration, a welcoming and peaceful space, and excellent staff, I can say that even the cook came to the table to ask if everything was ok...
I had grilled salmon which was divine.
Thank you D'Olive.
Thank you Santa Maria da Feira, welcoming city.?“

“- Het eten was heerlijk, de vegetarische optie met prei is een echte aanrader! Ook de soep van de dag (dat was een groente soep) was erg lekker hetzelfde geldt voor de tomatensoep.
- De bediening was erg vriendelijk en het eten was snel klaar.
- De sfeer was zeer gezellig en het restaurant ziet er van binnen erg mooi.“

“I give the food 3 stars because I think it could be and has been better, I've been a customer for several years and I feel that the prices have increased but the quality of the dish served has decreased, I usually eat picanha steaks and when I started going it was excellent, today Nowadays it is 2 euros more expensive and the quality has decreased. The rest impeccable“

“Restaurant with excellent quality of food and service.
Excellent atmosphere and excellent service.
The food is very good, from the arouquesa meats to the sea bass broth rice, passing through the cheeks and ending with the fantastic desserts.
Wine cellar with lots of quality and variety.
Very good restaurant.“

“A really unique place from service to food.
The environment also helps and the ambiance is nice.
I was impressed by the service level, very attentive and friendly.
The octopus plate was huge and delicious. The ingredients were well cooked and I can only recommend it. Probably dessert to be improved.
However, this comes at a higher price“

“Very good. We love it. We ordered a dozen pieces of veal, a dozen pieces of octopus, and a dozen pieces of black pork neck. We shared a little bit of everything with 5 adults, and we loved everything. Very good indeed. The dessert is also very good.... I recommend it 100%....... (it's a shame I didn't take a photo of the octopus and the dessert ?)“

“From booking to the end, I only have good things to say.They called as soon as I made the reservation through the app, something I don't see happening very often. I was surprised ??The lady who served us was a gem. For the kindness and conversation. Mrs. Vivida. As I told her personally, it's worth having people like her working.The eating, and followed by the instructions they gave us, everything was good ??.Fantastic experience and had a good time with friends.I can say that I will be back, without a doubt ?“

“Cozy atmosphere. Staff quite helpful.
When sitting down, we are presented with the famous board (you can do without it). I opted for prawn kebab with pineapple, I was a fan. Most dishes are individual portions in just the right size. For dessert, the cream from heaven which comes accompanied by whipped cream and toasted biscuits and passion fruit tart which I found a little lacking.“

“First experience in the middle of a Medieval Journey. I only have good things to say. Fast and attentive service. We ordered veal, it was delicious as were the side dishes. I ordered sangria, very tasty. They have children's menus, we ordered one and my daughter loved it. I highly recommend it. I will come back. The price I mention per person includes a dessert and a charcuterie board. Therefore it has an excellent quality/price ratio.“

“D Henrique is perhaps the poshest restaurant on Rua 25 de Abril, or restaurant-street as I call it, in the middle of the town. Inside it’s a lovely venue but even outside the service shows they want to set a high standard. We have eaten here before and were not disappointed. Good food, attentive service, nice ambiance, what is not to like? It’s not so cheap as other places nearby but then quality never was. Give it a try.“

“Our Trip Advisor food and wine guide Enrico in Lisbon recommended we have dinner at "Manels" when visiting Porto. It did not disappoint. We met up with friends who met on the Lisbon tour to experience an authentic night of Portuguese local cuisine. We had four reserved seats at the bar pictured here with our friendly and attentive service Livia. She did an outstanding job recommending 3 of the most popular entrees for us to share. Appetizers came out first cod croquettes and octopus salad. While I might not have believed it, I had thirds of the octopus salad, it was absolutely delicious. Livia recommended the house "jar wine" which we would describe as a large carafe versus ordering a bottle of wine. It was smooth as velvet and topped off a perfect meal. After our meal, Livia walked us to the upstairs restaurant which was packed with locals. For us, the bar was the ideal location where we could hear better, learn about our food and wine from Livia, and experience such warm hospitality. The price for such an evening, splitting the check with our friends was only $59 USD including our tip. Portugal is an exceptional value for American tourists.“

“(Translated by Google) A very positive chance.Fast, efficient and very friendly service.Homemade food, well prepared and tasty.Price a pleasant surprise.Recommend ?(Original)Um acaso muito positivo.Atendimento rápido, eficiente e com muita simpatia.Comida caseira, bem confeccionada e saborosa.Preço uma agradável surpresa.Recomendo?“

“You could walk right by this place without knowing it was there. An unassuming door with stairs leading to the first floor. Super fresh fish perfectly grilled served with a fresh salad and boiled potatoes. Delicious! Delicious! Delicious! The views across the valley from the kitchen window are incredible.“

“Carlos was a great help in suggesting the right wine, food and things to do in Porto. Food was good and wine great. The Fado, two singers accompanied by three players, had great 3 sets. Singing between dishes. Overall an excellent experience. Restaurant was 1/2 empty (slow season). Price 120 Euros.“

“Very good service and excellent food. Room staff very friendly and attentive. A beautiful, welcoming dining room, ideal for a good meal with family or friends. Very well prepared cod, very well served meat. We liked it and will be doing it again on the next visit.“

“When: 2023 to now (several times)
How much: always around €70-€90 (3 people)

Praceta is, without a doubt, one of my go-to restaurants when I miss a good pasta dish.
It has the elegant atmosphere of a ristorante, but the friendliness of a trattoria and staff always ready to help the most indecisive minds.
The pastas are, for me, the gold of the dish, along with the desserts, but the pizza is also good (although I'm not a fan of balsamic vinegar on pizza as a topping).
It fills up very quickly and doesn't take reservations, so I recommend either going early or bringing a book while you wait.

Parking: Before reaching Rua do Praceta there is a free car park that usually always has spaces available.“

“Hello! I ordered the octopus and prawn sautéed with fries and salad (€18): delicious and generous in quantity. The apple crumble (5€) was also divine ?

Beautiful/light space and friendly staff! The only “snag” is that it could be considered with prices a little above average, but it was worth it. I recommend it ??“

“Ótimo supermercado no centro de César com parque de estacionamento próprio,no seu interior encontramos calorosas funcionarias que nos ajudam ,com ótimo talho,peixaria com congelados e peixe fresco todos os dias também vende ótimo bacalhau,uma seleção de vinhos de ótima qualidade e diversidade tem uma frutaria de imensa qualidade e variedade ,recomendo vivamente!“

“(Translated by Google) Well-prepared dishes at an affordable price. Great for quick meals but even better for take away.(Original)Pratos bem confeccionados a preço acessível. Ótimo para refeições rápidas mas ainda melhor para take away.“

Will definetly come here again.The workers are really kind and helpfull.The food was amazing!+ the pizza had alot of igrendients and was full of flavours+ Francesinha was spicy and on point.+ passion fruit dessert was also very good dessert. This dessert also looks elegant“

“(Translated by Google) My family and I were taken care of by the owner. A very kind and friendly man. We loved the bottled wine and brand new ribs. My daughter likes the beef burger. All around was a culinary pleasure.(Original)Minha família e eu fomos atendidos pelo proprietário. Um homem muito amável e simpático. Adorámos o vinho da garrafa e as costeleta de novinho. Minha filha gosto de hambúrguer de carne. Todo foi um prazer culinária.“

“Very tasty food! Suitable for going with a group of friends, but a little noisy for going with family. We chose to eat only tapas and paid €30/person

Vegetarian options: There are many good vegetarian options.

Parking: The nearest car park is approximately 250m away

Kid-friendliness: It has a children's menu.“

“(Translated by Google) A good choice for lunch with the family. The cod loin with bread (cod with potatoes) was well done and tasty. The service was as expected and there was a place to park near the restaurant. The kitchen is close to the tables inside, but there is the option of tables outside the restaurant. The meal was served quickly and as expected.(Original)Uma boa opção para um almoço com a família. O lombo de bacalhau com broa ( bacalhau com batatas) estava bem feito e saboroso. O atendimento foi dentro do esperado e havia local para estacionar próximo ao restaurante. A cozinha fica próxima ao local das mesas na parte interna, mas há a opção de mesas na parte externa ao restaurante. A refeição foi servida rápida e conforme o esperado.“

“Very delicious tapas and very affordable prices.
I usually go with a large number of people and they tend to forget a lot of what we order for the table, which means we have to order something 2 or 3 times.
Otherwise, everything is incredible!“
