European Restaurants near Touguinha, PT

“This was by far our best restaurant in the north of Portugal. With the choice of 4 fixed course choices or a la carte everyone can be satisfied. Small restaurant (4 tables) guaranteed personal attention. We felt as though we had a personal chef at Antonio’s house!! Perfected menu paired perfectly with wine and port. We have eaten at many world renowned restaurants and Casa do Arco can hold its own. My fear is that Michelin will here of this place and a booking will be impossible. Hands down the best restaurant in Pinhao. Don’t hesitate - treat yourself!!“

“Ended up here by mistake, having thought we’d booked a different restaurant. We were however delighted with the food (lots of meat options - fish has to be ordered in advance) and the service, the team were very friendly and spoke great English and advised on our order and wine. The food was reasonable priced, which was lucky as we didn’t see a menu.“

“Very beautiful place, exceptional staff and fair prices for a varied menu with lots of good things. Everything very well made. I only switched to homemade fries, even with the skin on, but the ones that came were also good. Congratulations and much success!“

“Absolutely outstanding restaurant. The chef creativity and execution of the food was incredible. The service was impeccable, very knowledgeable staff. Daniel was great!

We tried the Scallops, which were divine. We then the octopus which was also very good. These were matched with Sidonio de Sousa sparkling wine. We then had the Sea Bass with clams risotto - this was an absolutely outstanding dish! Wow... Finally we tried the lobster with a delicious risotto as well. These dishes were matched with Insula Chao de Lavas, an outstanding wine, perfectly matching the dishes. Finally, we tried their version of the tiramisu...again what a version! Delicious and matching was the fantastic Vinho Madeira Borges! All in all an excellent dinner! Thank you to all the team..“

“Restaurant, where the food is very good, affordable prices and very friendly staff. I advise you to keep your eyes closed. The dishes are plentiful. We were there for our daughter's 18th birthday. She was entitled to her candle on her dessert and an effigy 18.
Many thanks to you.
And before paying the bill, we double-check everything we ate together at the counter. No error possible.

Easy parking in the area.
For the quality, I recommend it.“

“We came to this restaurant when we were searching for restaurants near Sá Carneiro airport. The first impression is excellent. The owner is super friendly, the food is excellent, we ate cod with cornbread and prawn linguini. Excellently made and reasonably priced. We still meet Rita, the kitten who is already part of the house. Highly recommendable. We will be back.“

“We went on a family outing and, by chance, we went into Urbanos for lunch. We love the light and pleasant atmosphere. Very clean... young, super friendly and efficient staff. Good food compatible with the price. We brought the leftover pizza to eat later because it was so good. Experience to repeat! Thank you from Vila Nova de “

“We were highly recommended by a local colleague to have our lunch here. The restaurant, located near the seaside of Porto, boasts beautifully decorated interiors and exteriors. I enjoyed the fresh seafood, especially the catch of the day from the ocean. We shared a large grilled seabass, commonly caught in these waters, and it was delicious and fresh, simply grilled to perfection. I also loved the clams, which were incredibly fresh and cooked simply with olive oil, making them so flavorful and tasty, full of umami. Paired with the local Douro River white wine, it was a fantastic experience! My other colleague chose the local beef, which looked delicious as well. We ended the meal with cheesecake and tiramisu, both delightful. The service was fantastic, despite only one waitress speaking good English. Overall, it’s a great place to enjoy excellent cooking.“

“It became a habit to visit and eat the beautiful francesinha!! I'm a Francesinha fan and it's been a long time since I've eaten one so tasty and with such familiar service. Without a doubt, I am no longer able to go straight home after the trip without first stopping by this spectacular place. Very attentive with the children to the point that it is my daughter who already asks me to go there. She is 5 years old ? May 12th we are back ?“

“Restaurant that you would not notice from the facade, but it is worth entering and finding pleasant, friendly staff eager to offer you good food. Please come in and enjoy. Greetings to the waitress who made everything easier for us. Very good food“

“A place with a lot of quality.I tried the house specialty for the first time. The puff pastry Francesinha. And not only was it delicious, it was lighter than the regular francesinha. To end the meal there was still room for a delicious slice of chocolate cake. Mr. António lives up to the hospitality of the people of Porto.“

“Lovely place in the heart of Pòvoa de Varzim. Hope atmosphere with tasty authentic food.Will be back next time I’m visiting the town.Thank you for the experience :)

Vegetarian options: Had tofu dish which would have worked for my vegan wife too :)“

“The Cafeteria is a hidden gem of Vila do Conde. At lunch time it get really busy because of its lunch menu. They have both Vegetarian and non vegetarian options at a very reasonable price. The ambiance is simple but nice. Very helpful staff who speaks English too. The place is good for lunch meetings.

Vegetarian options: Very good number of vegetarian and tasty options are available for brunch and lunch.“

“(Translated by Google) The best francesinhas in the whole city!! Homemade fries, quality products, impeccable service!(Original)Les meilleures francesinhas de toute la ville!! Des frites maison des produits de qualité, un service impeccable !“

“Very pleasant space, well decorated with a rustic style, great service and fantastic food.We ordered cod with cornbread in the oven over the phone in advance. It exceeded our expectations, with wonderful quality and quantity.For dessert, we chose banofee pie, simply perfect. We only paid 32 euros for everything.Thank you and we hope to come back soon ☺️“

“Extremely friendly, attentive and competent, as well as authentic service! I would like to give this one more star!

The ambience outside in the small square, surrounded by old, typical buildings from the turn of the century or older with a view of a beautiful linden tree, is simply very pleasant.

The food was very tasty. I had bacalau with potatoes, spinach and asparagus. Delicious!
The white wine recommended with it was very suitable and would have absolutely convinced me on its own.

Definitely a restaurant that I would happily recommend visiting.“

“To say it was spectacular is an understatement. The treatment is 10, from the moment you walk through the door everything is perfect, super nice and professional. The food is very delicious and well presented. The delicious desserts. The place is very beautiful, with several environments for all tastes. To repeat without a doubt!!

“My wife, 5 year old daughter and I just had the most lovely meal. My wife and I had the Scruff and beef rump and it was delectable and delicious. It was accompanied by a piping hot mushroom risotto and roasted vegetables. The meat was melt in your mouth and perfectly seasoned.

The kids menu was delightful. A well received vegetable soup was first. The main course was a moist and savory chicken breast with handmade potato chips (north american thin chips not the UK colloquialism for French fries). My daughter nearly ate the entire thing but the generous portion was just a little too great for her 5 year old belly.

The dessert was a simple vanilla ice cream that was creamy and not-too-sweey. A beautiful end to a fabulous meal.

We had the wonderful opportunity to meet the Chef, Rul Santos. He regaled us with some of the history of the local vermouth and the founding of the restaurant itself. We cannot recommend the restaurant enough to anyone and everyone. 5 stars!

Kid-friendliness: The kids menu was great value and it was delicious. If it were allowed I would have easily ordered it for my adult self“

“I've known this restaurant for over 23 years, I've had many good times there.I don't go there as often as I want because I live far away... But when I go to the area I make a point of stopping by.It's been around a lot, it's changed a lot but always for the better?. If you want to eat well, have excellent service in a relaxed and "stupidly" well decorated environment (I used this word because of the excellent wine cellar on display, which in itself is a reason to visit)... Visit and do it. my words.Close to the beach, in the Póvoa de Varzim bullring area.Go there, you won't be disappointed...Bon appétit ?

Kid-friendliness: Large restaurant, without major obstacles or special care for children. No problem at all.“

“We were walking from Póvoa de Varzim to São Félix hills on a sunny day. We were using the village route as it gradually takes to top. In between at Terroso we took a break at this cafe. Very nice cosy place decorated with agricultural instruments in a pleasant way. Very helpful staff. We will go again on our next walk.“

“A couple of us went for dinner, we let ourselves be guided by the Google reviews and we didn't fail.
Very attentive and pleasant waiters, orders came out quickly and well even though the restaurant was full.
Apart from the typical starters that are typical of Portugal, they served us a Broa bread filled with cheese and mayonnaise that was delicious, we also ordered a seafood rice for two that was delicious and quite a lot for the price. That, plus a bottle of wine and a bottle of water, with coffee and dessert, were about €66 for both.
Highly recommended.

Parking: Parking on the street, right in front of the beach.“

“If you like pizza, pasta or salads, Formeria São Pedro is in good hands. Salads are served here in a freshly baked dough shell - a delight! The pizzas ? are very delicate here.

Vegetarian options: There are also vegetarian salads, pasta dishes and pizzas here.

Kid-friendliness: Children are welcome.“

“A chicly decorated restaurant. The portion sizes of the food were ideal. Beef steak was on point, tasted great and was extremely tender. The service was a bit stressful, probably because a wine tasting was taking place at the same time.

Kid-friendliness: They responded to our wishes for the children.“

“We were recommended by the house where we stayed and the truth is that we loved it. A very pleasant, quiet atmosphere. Exquisite, excellent treatment. He gave us great advice and we felt great and what can we say about the food... we ate a scandal goat and a picanha scary.If you go to Barcelos this is a mandatory stop.

Parking: Easy“

“Cozy place, funny and friendly staff, good and homemade food, good starters and the veal was also good, lots of dessert, great sangria! A special note for the waiter Sale, very helpful and funny, a Pakistani who shows many Portuguese people how to serve the table, the manager was also super attentive, he went to get a high quality Portuguese limoncello which made the already pleasant dinner super fantastic! After
Hearing so much I went and we liked it, I recommend it! Good experience (very good decoration)“

“After several days in Apulia we decided to go have some burgers for dinner.

The flavor, work and effort that goes into each one of them is reflected in their flavor.

Very rich, very rich. To recommend and repeat.

Craft beer menu that is always a plus.

I dare say the best burgers in the area.

Congratulations for the effort.“

“Cozy atmosphere, very pleasant sea view and I don't think they take advantage of the location to charge high prices, like other restaurants do. Very good monkfish rice, but in my opinion a little too salty and with a Knorr flavor. There was nothing lost in reducing the salt. However, in my group not everyone thought this. I also ate fried cuttlefish with cuttlefish ink. In my opinion, the name of the menu is misleading. For me, it's stewed, sautéed cuttlefish, anything but fried. In the Algarve there is a dish of fried cuttlefish with ink, I thought I had ordered that, and then it had nothing to do with it. Or at least the employees should explain that it is stewed when the customer asks. We were disappointed that it wasn't what we expected. But it was good. A good restaurant. The meat looked divine, it's for a next visit. I recommend the visit“

“I feel at home. The hosts are amazing, the food is great and the environment is conducive to meeting people and having fun! The games cave is impressive, it really has everything! I adore! ?

Kid-friendliness: My daughter loves it! They offer lots of games for the family!“

“The unbeatable service. The exquisite food. The perfect room temperature. They were full of attention; very attentive but without overwhelming. The sea bass was exquisite, with golden potatoes but less done inside. Without a doubt a reference to take into account. BBB.“

“Small and fine restaurant at the river mouth. Very friendly and attentive service. We had Pataniscas as a starter, these were freshly baked and served hot. A dream!
The food was beautifully presented and was very tasty. The side dishes were also enough! The house wine went great with it!“

“Illustrious restaurant, with a rating of 5 in the entire evaluation. I recommend Cod or Segoviano Piglet, which has a maximum gestation period of 20 or 21 days. Until then, he was fed with his mother's milk. In which it is carved with a plate, which demonstrates its real size and its young age...
However, you must make an appointment, both for Leitão and for your meal at Julinha...! I loved .“

“1st time for me in Apulia.
Based for years at the suave mar hotel in Esposende every time I come to Portugal, I used to have lunch and dinner in this city or Porto, Braga, Viaba, Barcelos during my visits.
Due to Covid I haven't been here for 5 years. What a disappointment, the desposende restaurants have let themselves go.... little quality and exorbitant prices given the quality and taste offered. Esposende has also lost its aura...
So I fell back on the advice of my cousin, on Apulia which I discovered and found very pleasant, beautiful beaches bordered by windmills, historic buildings and a plethora of restaurants...
This one made me very welcome, I tasted very good grilled sardines, excellent seafood rice, served in quantity and quality: small shrimps, 6 very large prawns, 1/2 crab, cockles, mussels, small crabs, pairs, squid.... all served with humor, attention and kindness.
As soon as I return to Portugal I will go back there licking my lips?“

“Unfortunately there was no time for a photo of the beautiful Rodovalho à Bulhão Pato, I highly recommend it!! Generous portions, great fish, great service, great view, everything very good.
This was exactly the lunch I wanted to have with my family, with good food and a good atmosphere!!“

“This is the place where we ate some of the best seafood and fish in Portugal. We waited an hour to get in but it was worth it. 95 percent of the people who eat there are locals. We were the only tourists! Everything was delicious, we ate several items for two people and drank two bottles of wine, all for 90 euros! I recommend !“

“Hamburger specialties and, in particular, fish-based specialties; original and delicious.
The bar ceviche is nice.
Service provided by attentive and diligent young girls.
I didn't taste the hamburger with meat.
Perfect Nicola espresso.
Terrace on the street nevertheless pleasant because separated by glass walls.
Dog friendly.

“What a great surprise lunch!!
Typical restaurant with discreet entrance. Cozy atmosphere, very friendly and attentive staff.
Excellent food, very good starter board, we ate cod with cornbread (delicious!), the children ate meat (very tender and tasty), and to finish off the homemade desserts (divine).
We definitely recommend it and we will return.“

“Great place to eat well and cheaply. Neat kitchen without pretensions.
Spectacular fish.
The service is very correct and the environment, like the entire area, is a luxury.
We ate on the terrace.
Sea bream on the back with two different garnishes for two people, 35 euros“

“Our group of four ate lunch here after meeting Américo and Maria the day before, when they were closed but invited us in to talk about their gluten-free meal options for our one member with a celiac condition. We all had fish dishes that were, quite simply, remarkable. The fish was prepared very well and Maria served us at the table. The potatoes that accompanied the meal were also prepared perfectly. The atmosphere was homelike and we were all very-warmly received. We definitely recommend and will return!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options to accommodate a celiac condition.“

“An excellent bike friendly restaurant along the coastal caminho. Very generous portions of great food at a great price. Menu of the day had three options that included soup and a coke for 10 euro. Great staff made us feel right at home. They even opened 15 minutes early for us.“

“Staying at Parque de Campismo de Vila Cha and went in search of local restaurants. What a fabulous and unexpected find! It may not look much from the street but the upstairs restaurant was lovely and full of locals which is usually a good sign. Staff were very attentive and food was absolutely delicious. We ate the monkfish rice to share for mains and it was outstanding. Would strongly recommend a visit. If we were staying here longer we’d definitely come back again!“

“You already know: to give five stars, it's because the "tacho", together with the atmosphere and the service, justify it.

The food was exceptional. We ate cod with cornbread and picanha. Everything wonderful. Fair price for the quality. Super friendly and professional service. I recommend.“

“Absolutely recommended when visiting Vila do Conde. Quality and price, excellent. Attention of 10. Privileged place. We will return without a doubt.

“My experience was fantastic. The quality of the meal was phenomenal.
