Portuguese Restaurants near Sao Torcato, PT

“The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because they deceived us.We are staying in Vale S. Torcato and we called to ask if they delivered and they told us no.We went there to pick it up and to our surprise, they were making a delivery to our accommodation.“

“Imagine you're lost somewhere in the north of Portugal. It's late at night, it's a day of fasting and you're starving. Suddenly, you follow the sounds of local fans watching their football team on TV, come across what seems to be the local tavern in a secluded spot and decide to take your chances, to then have your needs catered to by the owner, who sympathetically orders the kitchen to improvise some rice and beans with fish that had been the day's appetizer.Honestly, that improvised dish tasted better than many a gourmet pescatarian meal. Along with the amazingly attentive service from the owner and the authentic, but still welcoming atmosphere, this was a delightful surprise. Definitely recommended.“

“From the moment I arrived I was greeted with exceptional service, the restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful throughout my stay.The food was simply delicious, with fresh ingredients and well prepared. The dishes were very well presented, and I could see that the kitchen values ​​the aesthetics and quality of the food.The atmosphere in the restaurant was very pleasant, with cozy decor and soft music. This added greatly to the overall dining experience, which was relaxing and memorable.Finally, the price of the meals was very fair in relation to the quality of the dishes and the service offered. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience in a warm and friendly atmosphere.“

“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) Best of the restaurants in Minho. There is no better lamb and veal roasted in a wood-fired oven in the region. Today I tried the cod with bread and it was divine, repeating it.(Original)Melhor dos restaurantes do Minho. Não há melhor cabrito e vitela assada no forno à lenha na região. Hoje experimentei o bacalhau com broa e estava divinal, a repetir.“

“(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!“

“Honestly, everything is incredible, the quantities are there, it's difficult to finish, the fries are homemade, the rice is super well seasoned, the cod is honestly worth the detour!!
The servers are honestly very nice!!

If you have the opportunity, come and try, you have nothing to lose!!!“

“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!“

“I was lucky enough to eat with a group in April, during a visit to Guimarães.The attention, excellent. Very kind and nice staff. The waiter who served us, very attentive and pleasant, attentive at all times.The food, rich and in good quantity.Recommendable.“

“(Translated by Google) Nice place with good wood oven pizzas. Friendliness, good coffee ☕️, free Wi-Fi. There is no ATM. ????????(Original)Local agradável com boas pizzas em forno a lenha. Simpatia,bom café ☕️, Wi-Fi grátis. Não tem multibanco. ????????“

“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. ?“

“Great restaurant, vitela assada super good
Air-conditioned room, warm welcome from the boss and employees!
All for a controlled budget: 49 euros for 5 people, drinks, fruit salad and coffee included!

I recommend this restaurant located in Nas Taipas.
We will come back with pleasure ?
Muita obrigado“

“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. ?“

“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 ?????“

“Excellent service, congratulations, big hugs to Rafael, friendliness and professionalism, I remained a customer, I will definitely be back, see you soon, big hugs to all the staff ??

“A group went here to dine. The main course of lamb knuckle was delicious, without the smell of sheep. The environment was comfortable and the staff was kind. The environment looked clean and comfortable. Ordering a glass of red wine went well with the meal. There were also many locals dining in the store.“

“Good discovery in Guimarães. We started with a beautiful ham and cheese board and then continued with a good seafood Fideua. At the end we tried a divine mint semufrio and a fantastic prestige cake. All accompanied by a local sauvignon blanc white wine. To repeat“

“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.“

“(Translated by Google) House with family atmosphere, 5 star service! Quality starters, the ham is fantastic! Affordable and very good house wine. Here I tasted the best Francesinha ever, quality stuffing and the sauce is top! I strongly recommend! All homemade and very well made! Congratulations!(Original)Casa com ambiente familiar, atendimento 5 estrelas! Entradas de qualidade, o presunto é fantástico! Vinho da casa de preço acessível e muito bom. Provei aqui a melhor Francesinha de todas, recheio de qualidade e o molho é top! Recomendo vivamente! Tudo caseiro e muito bem confecionado! Parabéns!“

“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.“

“(Translated by Google) I eat a lot of pizza and it's one of my favorites. The staff is also friendly. Fridays are impossible here because you have to wait a long time, everyone wants pizza from here on that day. But it's worth the wait, I recommend going another day so you don't have to wait too long.(Original)Eu como muuiiita pizza e é das minhas favoritas. O pessoal também é simpático. Sextas feiras são impossíveis aqui porque tem que se esperar muito tempo, todo mundo quer pizza daqui nesse dia. Mas vale a pena a espera, recomendo ir noutro dia para não ter que esperar muito.“

“We went to this restaurant based on a recommendation and we ended up very satisfied.
We ordered the mumadona cod, this dish was very good. And also the burger, which was delicious with its side of potatoes. It is an affordable place that I would return to.“

“We love the Solar do Arco restaurant. For me, one of the best in Guimarães.We liked the service and the environment.But, without a doubt, the food is delicious. It even surprised us. Very well served portions and very reasonable prices, especially given the location within the historic center. The cod and fillet were very good. Good and cheap wine.I recommend!“

“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.“

“The Braga-style cod is superb, well served, if I had the stomach to eat it, it's simply fabulous.
The service is the best, I arrived and there was no table, the waiter hurried to get one and prepare it for us, throughout the dinner he was attentive and friendly, as if we were friends.
The room is noisy but it's part of the genuineness of the space, it's typical, we love it.“

“Great surprise in Guimaraes. It is well located in a residential area and not very touristy but close to the Castelo. It was full of local people and students eating. They have several dishes on the menu of the day and we had a delicious and well prepared picanha (meat). Highly “

“An establishment with unique dedication, people who live their work with love for what they do, which you can find in few places. I fully recommend it, you will have a very pleasant experience. We customers just have to be grateful for having a place like this at our disposal. Thank you Forneria da vila?“

“Wonderful. You can eat as well on-site as you can take home.Among the dishes mentioned, I have to highlight the cabidela rice and on Saturdays the codfish migas de bacalhau (bola). Everything is wonderful. It did and continues to do wonders for all of us, my father was very happy. Thank you for all your affection towards my father Manuel Cunha.

“Traditional Portuguese restaurant.I tried several dishes and everything was very good. I recommend the pork cheek! I only have to point out the pork secretions, there were just two pieces of meat and one basically fat. The meat was slightly dry.Other than that I recommend“

“Ce restaurant de grande qualité est dirigé par une équipe de professionnels passionnés, véritables restaurateurs. Il est souvent considéré comme le meilleur de la région et offre une expérience authentique de la cuisine et de l'ambiance portugaise. C'est un endroit idéal pour les touristes qui visitent la région de Braga et souhaitent savourer de délicieux plats portugais.“

“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.“

“Spectacular experience, the food has an exceptional flavor, the service is excellent and the options presented are immense.The decor and atmosphere are very welcoming, the only drawback is that it was quite hot inside at the time of my visit.I recommend it 100%!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Unique place, it's really a cave, inside the rocks. One of the best roasted fish I've ever eaten in my life. Very good salad. Friendly and fun service. Affordable prices: whole sea bass for 2 people, starter, salad, 2 drinks, total €30. They accept cash and Mbway.“

“Today we ate at this place, Reina served us, the service was great, she explained the dishes to us and offered us more options than those available on the menu. Without a doubt the treatment is 10. The menu is nothing typical but everything is very appetizing, ideal to go with children or teenagers. In short, highly recommended“

“It is definitely worth going, very cozy placeStarters: very good bacalhau bowling (the best I've tried to date)Braga cod, spectacularDuck rice, the best I've ever hadAnd the best thing is the owner's wine collection, they have different wines of very good quality and a very good price. If you like good wines, this is undoubtedly the best place.Attention: out of 10Great price quality. On weekends you have to reserve“

“"We couldn't be more delighted with our experience at Taberna do JP in Vizela! From the warm and professional service from Senhor João to the incredible quality of the food, every detail left us amazed. The desserts were simply divine! This place became It has instantly become a must-stop for us in this region. Coming from Aveiro, we can't wait to go back and enjoy it all again. Thank you so much for giving us such a memorable experience!"“

“The food is well made with a very good flavor but the problem is that a portion is secretly €25, supposedly designed for 2 people, we eat that portion practically alone, which we thought was not enough for 2 and that it comes accompanied by rice To all this we ordered chicken wings, scrambled eggs, ham and cheese board, to distribute to 5 adults, 2 babies and 2 children, all very delicious.
It is recommended to go early since at 10:30 p.m. we were alone in the place and with the owners who wanted to clean and close but I think that was our fault since we are not used to having dinner so early.“

“Very good restaurant.
Very very good local cuisine
Top service
For the budget, favor meals at lunchtime that are cheaper than in the evening.
Despite all top budget far from the extravagance of the city center.

Parking: Street parking

Wheelchair accessibility: Full-floor restaurant“

“Simply divine! Whether fish or meat, whenever I ordered a meal I was extremely well served with above average quality, from starters to dessert. The presentation of the restaurant is quite nice and clean. The price is right for the quality presented. I strongly recommend it and I have been going to this restaurant for a few years and the quality has been maintained with each visit...“

“We use a voucher from the Odysseys "Romantic Dinner". Everything was excellent, from the friendliness and professionalism of the staff, to the food and the space we already knew. However, the table where we sat was anything but romantic because it was at the entrance to the restaurant room. Since there were several tables for two people in the center of the room, we thought that the table we sat at was a weak point of our "Romantic Dinner".“
