30 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Viana Do Castelo

“A beautiful restaurant 5 minutes from Viana do Castelo and also close to the Vilanova da Cerveira fair. The rice with lubricant and the cod ao Camelo were exquisite. The perfect attention. Looking forward to returning.

Parking: In front of the restaurant“

“The dishes were very good and abundant...the service was a little stressful...they took our reservation at 2:30 and they wanted us to order immediately, without practically seeing the menu...I understand that they close at 3 but not having taken the reservation at 2 :30“

“Always well received
It is a pleasure to have lunch or dinner at Bota d’Agua..
All the staff is dedicated to the service and is ready to satisfy our requests..
Very sheltered to all
And until next time
?????“

“We ate great and of all styles. The first day was a spectacular charcuterie board, the second cod (the most delicious we ate in Viana) was something great. It looks like a bar but it has a wonderful cook. The treatment of the waitresses is spectacular. Everything is great. I will repeat without a doubt. 100% recommendable“

“We found this place by chance and it was a great success. We ordered the menu of the day which included soup, grilled sea bream, wine and dessert. The waiter told us that he ran out of sea bream but that they offered us baked sea bass and it was wonderful. I will return one day“

“We ordered a francesinha and a burger, they were divine. It's been a long time since we've had a francesinha this good.
Five-star service and extremely friendly person in charge.
When we return to Viana do Castelo we will definitely go there to eat again.“

“It is a place to go slowly and savor each and every one of the ingredients. Family and homemade food. We found it on our way to Portugal and it was a great success. In fact, when we return we repeat... They are very friendly. Tip: go hungry, the portions are large. Ends aviat Sunday!“

“The best cocktails in Viana do castelo. If you have the opportunity come, it's worth it. It is super cozy and the attention is unbeatable. There are also options for drinks and beers. We came for the good music and found a spectacular corner. Thanks for everything!“

“Excellent fish and sea bass soup. However, the price of sea bass is shown by the kilo (€35/kg) without it being weighed in front of us. Conclusion: they charged us €42 for a sea bass for two people, which after all the math is equivalent to 1.2 kg of fish (not emptied), which seems much more than what we ate (any website recommends 300-400 g/person ). It also seems out of season that the restaurant manager, who also serves, is not in uniform like all the (very friendly) employees.“

“From booking to
The moment we left we were very well attended to, very good quality meat, excellent table service, ham starter that enchanted me from the beginning, he also made us an extra fried banana that was not included and he suggested it to us We really liked it and we will definitely come back
We ordered the meat mix which is great for up to 3 people“

“A great place to dine in Viana. The staff is very friendly, the menu is varied, suitable for children, adults, meat and fish lovers. Of the week we were there, we had dinner there two days, and all the dishes were wonderful. A total success“

“We stopped by on our way to Santiago and I can tell that I have never had such an extraordinary service. The man who was working there was not only a plain waiter, but made an effort to make our stay in restaurant pleasant and joyful - he was a real host. The food was great, portions were big, we took pilgrim's offer for 13.90€ which includes small opener, soup, main meal, desert and coffee. The fact is that this restaurant will remain one of my biggest impressions of Portugal. ❤️“

“First time in Viana and first time at the place, very good attention received by the waiter who understood us and served us perfectly.
We ordered lasagna, francesinha (spectacular), garlic bread and mixed salad, and for dessert a cookie cake that I would repeat if it wasn't already full. Highly recommended establishment, we will be back.“

“This is an excellent address! For a very reasonable price you eat excellent Portuguese dishes (generous portions) and you drink an excellent white wine recommended by the owner who makes the effort to speak French. It's simple, it's good, it's worth remembering!“

“We chose it through Google reviews and were welcomed by the owner (Mr. Vasco) who immediately captivated us with his friendliness. Small but cozy restaurant. We ate excellent grilled cod and were impressed with how quickly we were served. An excellent experience.“

“Super recommended. Very friendly and traditional place. Unbeatable food, a product that shows quality and they know how to treat it. We ate snails and peppers, which I highly recommend!! Very friendly and fast attention. And a very adequate bathroom, which is appreciated when you come from other less hygienic restaurants.
From 10!“

“Authentiek Portugees eten, zeer voorkomende vriendelijke bediening, prijs kwaliteit goed, fijn wit tafellaken met stoffen servet en goed snijdende messen, ik hou ervan! Steak was super mals, lekkere frietjes en salade, simpel zonder opsmuk maar lekker!“

“The best restaurant that I have visited in all of Santa Marta, it has good service, the food is great, the place is comfortable and familiar, they serve the best tortas that I have ever tried and also there are many events so they are very available ????“

“Visually, the place doesn't look much and the service isn't the fastest, which is why we assumed that the food couldn't be anything special either. BUT: We were pleasantly surprised by the good quality and taste of the burgers.“

“The best pizza I have ever eaten in my life, both the boss and the employees are super nice, if you go to Viana do Castelo, don't miss it, we were delighted, congratulations

Rooms: Comfortable, clean,

Nearby activities: Museums, the ship, Saint Lucia, etc.

Safety: It's very quiet“

“Typical restaurant with very good fresh dishes and homemade desserts. Thanks to the cook for this wonderful meal... Thanks to the boss and the very pleasant waitresses.. good value for money

Kid-friendliness: Very available“

“At last notice we got recommended this restaurant and it lived up to my expectations. We started with Portugueses codfish xakes (Pastéis de bacalhao) and some Pato negra. Each choose a main course in my case perfectly cooked octopus, very tender. The almond cake, the chocolate mouse and the pao de lo were all really good. After we finished our coffees the super friendly and helpful waiter insisted on offering a glass of port wine, which we all very much enjoyed.“

“Very friendly service from the employee Leonel.
The room already appears dated and lacks the feeling of a welcoming place.
Weak seafood, but the fries that accompany it are excellent :).
If I come back????
No
Perserve the employee who is the best the restaurant has.“

“Nine kilometers into our Camino trek, we stumbled upon a welcome sight: Areia Cozinha na Praia. Exhausted but optimistic, we bellied up to the table.

The Sopa de Peixe e Camarao, a delectable hearty fish and shrimp stew, warmed my friends from the inside out. I savored the Creme de Ervilhas e Chourixo, a pea and chorizo cream soup, that was equally comforting.

It was the most high-falutin soup/meal and exactly what our weary legs craved. Refueled and spirits high, we were ready to tackle the next leg of our Camino adventure.“

“The restaurant located in the port is quite large and is divided into two parts, one for takeaway food where there were a lot of customers and another part for eating in the restaurant itself.Good service and speed.Good quantities, both in the special salad and in the grill.Quite acceptable quality/price.“

“The service is very agile and attentive... The agility depends on what is ordered. The rice dish with baked octopus ? BEWARE because it is late and as the waiter already warns, it is dry, but it is good. The house bacalhau is very good with the onion and potatoes that accompany it. Don't forget a vinho verde to accompany the bacalhau and everything is ready. For dessert or after dinner, a cream puff. Also order a white Port wine to finish off the meal. If you are close to Christmas they can offer you a mini roscon de reyes.“

“Typical Portuguese restaurant, 5-star food and service. The manager says that the cod is the best in Viana, the chocolate mousse too and the wine doesn't even mention it. I'm not saying against it because we were satisfied with everything. See you any day, Manuel and “

“We ate very well. 3x grilled chicken with fries, rice and salad and 2x cod with potato chips, onions and padrons.The service was attentive and friendly. We paid about 105 euros with house wine and 2 colas. We thought the price was very good for the quality and it was feasts...“

“Visited when busy, just wanted a quick lunch after a long trip back from Lisbon. This place was a pleasant surprise among all the fast food joints in the mall. We sat out on the balcony overlooking the city and were served extremely well by all the staff and the food was just right!“
