European Restaurants near Vale De Ilhavo, PT

“Attentive and efficient fast service. Today I ate a divine stew but I'll be back to try the meat, which also looks great. Very complete wine list organized by regions and whites. It was busy and it seemed to be convenient to make an appointment and this contributed to the restaurant's only less pleasant note: a somewhat intense and unpleasant background noise.“

“Very well received by the staff who are very friendly.
Restaurant with a menu dedicated almost exclusively to cod and its derivatives. We ate cod with cornbread of very good quality and well prepared.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility is not the best, although it is possible to overcome the entrance steps.“

“A small and cozy place, a clean bathroom with an adapter to change diapers and baby clothes, a large room with good service, it has a space with swings and other games, ideal for parties, birthdays or gatherings of family, friends, and even of companies.

Parking: A quiet, open space.

Kid-friendliness: I went to a children's birthday, there was insuflável and face painting“

“I have gone here many times and it's a place where the locals go to eat lunch. The menu is limited, and changes daily, but they serve very fast and the price is right. The food is always on point and the staff is very efficient. Parking is limited so get there early. Don't forget the dessert!“

“It's been more than 12 years since we stopped in Aveiro...we had once wanted to go in but it was impossible, they don't make reservations and the lines are tremendous... It must be for a reason!!
Today we had dinner, a menu of starters, fish and meat... they advise you and it is worth it, in everything because the treatment of both is 10!, homemade food and fresh raw materials!! No decorations, you don't need them!! Homemade desserts and a drink... We have been like at home! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! OBRIGADO!!“

“I went with my family for my birthday, I had a soup which was wholesome and delicious, and tempeh burger which was pretty good. Really amazing peanut, chocolate, caramel, layered cake for dessert with a real nice touch of a little 'feliz anniversario' sign and candle! ? The owners are really lovely, genuine, hardworking and welcoming even though we got there a bit late, definitely a good spot to check out if you're in Aveiro.“

“There were 4 of us and we left delighted. The service was fast and the waiter who served us was close and super nice. The food was exquisite: we ordered a shrimp risotto and a soupy seafood rice, with the bao bread for starters. Both the quantity and the quality of the product are unbeatable. This, added to impeccable service, made our dinner a magnificent experience, which we would undoubtedly repeat.
Totally recommended.“

“The place does not attract attention, it looks like a kebab from the outside, but everything was very good.
And the staff of 10 are very friendly and professional.
The cod is delicious but we have never tried anything like the sea bream.
It would be a sin to leave without trying their homemade desserts... scandalous
?“

“Unique experience. Everything impeccable. Delicious starters, grilled lettuce and tartlet with earthy flavors. 5-star cod loin and turbot with divine cauliflower. Finished with bread pudding with fantastic mango and passion fruit ice cream.“

“We decided to try this restaurant because of its good reviews. Good service, excellent food, we ordered arroz a tumbal, one of the best I have eaten and I have been traveling through Portugal for 20 years. Reasonable prices. We will repeat, thank you“

“This unpretentious restaurant is a rare gem. The seafood was amazing and prepared in different guises with influxes from different cuisines. Yet, it's at the same time a traditional, family owned small restaurant, where the owners make a very good care of being welcoming, friendly, patient with questions and needs, and also very nice with kids. It's really rare to find such a genuine spirit of care both for food and people. If you're lucky there will also be some real magic happening at your table! Highly highly recommended“

“We come from Spain, the super cozy place.
The waiters were helpful and attentive to everything. Fast service, delicious homemade food.
I would definitely return.
I recommend the soup, the carne à Alentejana and the tomato with feta.
The place and the atmosphere make you feel at home.“

“Super nice family restaurant. The people there are so friendly and always pay attention to what you need.

We tried the fish soup, fried eel, seafood rice and cod fish. My children loves the seafood rice the best and so do we. A portion of two is enough for 4 of us. If we were to go again, seafood rice is a must order dish.

The lady there is so kind that she stopped us from ordering more dishes to avoid wastage. That’s so true. Their portion is big and all the dishes are value for money.

If you are nearby, must come here for a meal!“

“07/17/2024.
But this restaurant is just a gem.
Very effective in decoration while remaining simple.
On the other hand, the dishes are just magnificent,
The cod is in its place.
Or maybe it’s the place for cod.
good, tasty, quite plentiful.
The wines offered match the dishes.
The local beers offered are very good.
On the next visit, I order meat, which looks just as good.
I don't understand that some of the people next to me ordered chicken and fries, which is not on the menu, but which they were kind enough to serve to them ???.
Thank you for this dinner @bacalhau & orders.

Parking: Right in front of the restaurant

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs“

“We loved the place, the service was very good, the owner was very attentive and friendly. Even though we arrived almost at the kitchen closing time, they didn't give us a single problem, on the contrary, they invited us to some sardines (very delicious) while they brought us the food. We ordered a very complete grilled fish and the fresh fish at a very good price. I definitely recommend it and I will return on my next trip.“

“Delicious food in a new and great concept to the city. The staff and chef were very helpful and friendly. The place isn't too big wich is great, has a "home confort" kind of vibe. It's better to make a reservation. Will for sure come back.“

“Forget the fast food of m.... and very poor quality. Opt for this restaurant which, for a few euros more, gives you a taste experience of hamburgers or other high-quality meat dishes in comparison.
I wish there were more restaurants like this ???“

“Having discovered it yesterday at noon, we went back this evening because frankly it's so good, great value for money.
We see that this is not a “tourist trap” place. I especially love their “sande de pernil com queijo da serra”. Their samoussa is great too.
For those who love beer, try craft beer ?“

“We chose randomly and decided to go for the good score, and we didn't regret it. We were very well looked after, everyone was very attentive, everything was wonderful, in addition to being excellent value, I recommend it and will be back.“

“Very good cuisine, especially on the savory part. We opted for the dish to share for two: prawns and rice, which was excellent. However, we were disappointed by the quantity-price ratio. We paid €80 for this dish composed of 3 prawns (for two, that's not much, and why an odd number?) and a portion of rice that was not very generous. Dessert a little too sweet and stuffy for my taste.
The service was very pleasant.“

“Nice terrace, with very friendly and efficient service. Tasty food arrived quickly. Faded crockery behind spoils the good image of the house.

Kid-friendliness: Has menus for children

Wheelchair accessibility: The street side and terrace“

“A place that goes unnoticed. If it weren't for Google, I wouldn't end up here. But once you walk through the door it's a very sophisticated environment.

Very efficient and friendly service

Very tasty food. High prices. The suggestion of the day should also appear on the menu, or at least indicate the price, so that there are no unpleasant surprises when paying the bill.

In the end it was a good experience and the fairest rating would be 4.5 stars.

Kid-friendliness: I thought it was interesting that they took care to put out special dishes for the children.“

“Quiet, well-maintained place.
High quality food with research and attention to flavor combinations.
Very welcoming, helpful and very polite staff.
To come back!!
Advised!
Congratulations to all the staff!! ❤️“

“Beautiful place, quiet environment, clean bathroom. Spectacular service, a varied menu and Venezuelan food ?....In my case I had cachapa with cheese and ham with malt.....it was super tasty and very soft, the cheese was spectacular..... The starter was sweet arepita with cheese ? it was delicious...“

“This is an excellent choice for families with kids. The food and service are amazing, the host is great. She made us feel welcomed and she took care of all of our wishes. Whenever in Praia da Mira, we know where to stop by. Thank you so much ?☺️

Kid-friendliness: There are excellent nuggets and french fries that kids usully love, super tasty.“

“So I got these little balls and the Mexican empanadas as starters, the chilli for main abd cheesecake for desert.The food is good. The chilli looks the same as in the menu, that's why I didn't take any pictures. In the menu it says to share but I was sharing it with my mom and the portion didn't make us satisfied, we even asked for more wrap pieces and even with that, it was not enough. I don't think it's a portion to share at all.Having said that, I would like to point out that if you are in a hurry, this restaurant is not for you. We stayed around two hours for this lunch ( the restaurant was never full, when we got there, one table besides ours, already eating, and then after we started eating, a few more tables).The restaurant offers mostly vegetarian options, with a selection of vegan options.I also felt like the person who was serving us maybe was new staff to the restaurant as they didn't have the answers when I asked some questions about the menu options being vegan or vegetarian as I was confused about some items on the menu. He then went into the kitchen area to ask a colleague and came back telling me that the heura has egg whites therefore it's not vegan, which left me even more confused as the brand heura is fully vegan. So either they are using some fake heura or they don't know what's vegan or not, which is not very comforting to hear, as I make a lot of efforts to keep my vegan diet.

“An Irish bar, on Mira beach, with a wonderful atmosphere, as soon as you enter, with the ambient music playing, we are immediately tied up, the decoration of the walls, the tables and sofas, everything makes us calm our soul, we lose ourselves in appreciate each object that is part of the decoration.The service provided by the owner, very friendly and whistling to the rhythm of the music, makes us feel at home.Good food, and a never-ending variety of beer, Guinness was top notch.Every penny spent there is well spent, even if it is to preserve such a beautiful and welcoming house.I will be back.“

“Great seafood. Lots of delicious shrimp. Menu only in Portuguese, but we got there using Google translate. The portion for 2 would easily have been enough for three or four people. Delicious. The price for this amount of shrimp was unbeatable. We are very happy to have landed here.“

“All good, the best in the area, as they told us at the beach bar on Costa Nova, Cristal Prado (great, by the way, to watch the sunset...). A "seafood dough" that was finger-licking good... Some fresh and delicious clams as well as a delicious fried San Martiño. To add some "but", I needed a little more fish to be able to choose from on the menu...“

“We ordered 2 pregos, 1 with just rice and under the steak they put salad and red onion and the rice came full of peas, the complete prego came with the hard egg yolk.
The rest of the table ordered cod and had no complaints. I assumed that the restaurant's specialty is not meat.
Otherwise it is a traditional food restaurant“

“Exceptional quality burger! The quality of the burgers presented "vs" the prices charged is super adjusted (none higher than €10.
I recommend accompanying your choice with the red fruit lemonade
Small and welcoming space in the center of Vagos with amazing staff (if the space were bigger it would be just as full)

I strongly advise. Mandatory passage through Vagos!“

“Tive uma experiência fantástica. A comida estava deliciosa, o prato bem elaborado e cheio de sabor. O atendimento foi impecável, com uma equipa atenciosa e prestável, sempre disponível para qualquer eventualidade. O ambiente acolhedor e elegante tornou a refeição ainda mais especial. Recomendo vivamente para quem procura uma ótima experiência!“

“Beautiful lentil vegan quiche! We enjoyed kukicha tea with hot oat milk, and my fiancé got some fun, peanut butter toast, with bananas, poppyseeds, and a very light drizzle of an amazing vegan caramel. We got a lime cheesecake to eat on the road. Would highly recommend coming here!“

“Great place for a drink or a quick bite. The selection of alcohols is astonishing, from gins to whiskeys, and other tequilas or rhums. There's something for everyone. The food menu is good to, with interesting "katsun sando", Japanese style sandwiches. All that in a pleasant warmth place.“

“For me the best pizzeria in Aveiro... Extremely fast service, thin dough cooked directly in a wood-fired oven, quality products and lots of flavor!
In my opinion, the only thing that fails are the desserts, they are not homemade and the "Moist cake with ice cream" has little moist and the tangerine ice cream doesn't go well...
I'll be back!“

“Ideal restaurant for eating local and fresh (arrival of the day's catch). The prices are very reasonable, we are not in a “tourist trap” restaurant. Traditions are well respected. The service was very pleasant.
I recommend.“

“We went last week for dinner after our trip to Aveiro. We ordered a grilled meat and grilled salmon, and both dishes were very delicious. The meat was on point and the variety of meats, in addition to the fruit accompaniment, was appreciated. The treatment by the owner was incredible, as if we were family, very attentive at all times. We liked it so much that we returned the next day, and despite being full, they found a place for us to have dinner.
We will definitely return when we are on vacation in the area. Totally recommended restaurant.“

“Super nice and welcoming place. Italian atmosphere. Super professional employees.
Top food, some of the best I've tried in Italian. Kitchen to view and everything prepared in front of us.
Average price but corresponding to the quality.“

“The portion of fried calamari, delicious but ridiculous in quantity, was more of a tapa. The rich gold. The skewer of lulas (like squid) could be improved. Small quantity and it took a long time to bring it. Many pretensions, but little final result. Avoid, I believe there are better places“

“Fabulous pizza. The dough looks like a crispy toast, it is not heavy. Very fresh ingredients. 100% Italian style (I've been to Italy and can confirm it). I also ate a soup that was very well served and very well seasoned (not too much, not too little). I highly recommend it!“

“We came to Aveiro to explore, we went with the intention of having lunch in another restaurant which in turn was full and we came to "stop" at Cais da Tosca.
First impact: calm and cool
Service: very friendly and willing
Food: both starters and main course were very good and very well presented.
And it is for these and other reasons that we leave this recommendation ;)“

“An outstanding dinner spot! The service and attentiveness were unmatched. The meals were divine - the starters in particular were of note with an ingenious fusion of traditional Portugal and Mediterranean flavours that were unforgettable.
They also offer an exceptional wine menu that pair perfectly with the dishes on offer.
I also cannot rave more about the kindness and hospitality of the staff. Elsa in particular provided us with the most outstanding service I have experienced in Portugal.
It would be a loss if you didn’t visit this restaurant.“

“A pleasant surprise
We opted for Mar e Terra served in a traditional moliceiro, with food well prepared with good quality products created by the owner of the restaurant (congratulations, a true artist).
Very welcoming and friendly staff.
I highly recommend it, certainly an experience to repeat.“

“It is a place worth discovering, although it is a little away from the hustle and bustle, it is very worth visiting.
The Robalo a la teja, is simply spectacular and the cod a la teja, ordering half a portion, I can say that two people eat, accompanied by delicious roast potatoes, super tasty.
The price I can say that for the size of the dishes and the supreme quality, it is cheap.
It is run by a couple and their son, they are very friendly, the treatment is very close and familiar.
If you go to Aveiro, don't hesitate to eat there, you won't regret it“

“It has enchanted me. The place is nice and well located. I found the food delicious and abundant. In our case we ordered cod and beef and we were full. If you are a good eater, ask for a third dish but light. I liked the house wine (Casa do Canto). 3 euros drink. We didn't need a reservation and the service was fast and friendly. Total price for two people 43 euros. I recommend it to you.“

“Very good, very attentive service, the caldeirada de peixe and the grilled sea bream very good, the vinho verde good, I will recommend it and I will return. Quality price very good. The fresh fish was brought to the table so we could see the pieces.“

“Spectacular service. We were very well received, the food was excellent ?? and very well served. These grilled cuttlefish were divine ? the only thing was that I asked for minced garlic for the potatoes and when they arrived at the table I had already finished eating ? otherwise everything went very well. I recommend it ??“

“It was always my favorite in Costa Nova. It recently changed management and was renovated. More modern.
It has lost that essence a bit and, logically, prices have risen quite a bit. We cannot expect that if prices rise throughout Europe they will not do so in Portugal, but that feeling that eating in Portugal was much cheaper and more abundant than in Spain is now over here. Medium-high level prices in Spain and Spanish quantities.
The atmosphere is very good and the staff is super friendly. Even so, I miss that old sailing club and its brass cod.“

“Whenever I'm working in that area, I have lunch or dinner in this space. Good food and plenty of food, the service is also good and the price is €8.00 per person, everything included except dessert.I recommend

Parking: Next to the Continente hypermarket parking lot“

“Restaurant with very good food, divine service! You gentlemen are extremely friendly, I highly recommend them! Whenever I asked for something, they brought it right away. They don't accept banging on the table (which is worthy of good respect from other customers). The wine doesn't fall short of expectations, but I prefer the sangria (personal taste). Mr. Manel is a sweet person, he has a huge heart!“
