“A place to meet!! We definitely stopped on our trip even though we had to make a detour because it's worth it. We were already 1 year ago and they treated us like family! And this time we wanted to feel at home again! In addition to the fact that they gave us food at a late hour for them. 100% quality and more than economical price! You have to visit it! We will come back!“

“It was one of the best restaurants I've ever been to, the food is great, the atmosphere is calm and the service is fantastic, they are very quick to serve I went today with my family, there were 5 of us and we spent €112 for 5 people, it's not a lot of money

Parking: There's a lot of space“

“Nice and well decorated place. The food is very delicious although some starters are somewhat scarce in relation to the price. The excellent picaña. The only problem was the terrible attention of the gray-haired lady. Fortunately the rest of the staff made up for their rudeness.“

“The best service ??
The best place I've ever eaten snacks, everything was super tasty and well prepared.
We opted for the €25 menu, which included several snacks, cod, steak, 1L of wine and we finished with dessert and coffee.
Perfect place for those who like to socialize and enjoy good food and good wine!“

“I went to have dinner with some friends and two dogs, it was the only dog friendly place in all of Barcelos that was open at this moment. The food was good and the service very good. As a dog owner, I support all the businesses where my dog is welcome.“

“Friendly service , and creative food,burgers are great and you can substitute the artisanal bread for Arepas (Venezuelan ground maze dough tortillas)great option for gluten free meal. there are vegan and vegetarian options on the menue as well. Beer is nice and cold.“

“I visited this restaurant for the first time. Located at the exit of Famalicão to the north, within
of a grove of trees, away from the road, a very pleasant and cool place now that we are having
great temperatures to explore these beautiful lands of Portugal.
In the first impression before entering the house, you are " suspicious" . When you open the door
When you enter the space, you immediately feel at ease because you have the " crime scene"
as if to say, the place where our food will be prepared. Then a counter appears and a
beautiful rustic space, cozy, with beautiful decoration typical of this type of
restaurants, stone walls and then the owner appears. We are received with all the
friendliness, a lot of calm, and knowledge.
After a description of the menu, ("old" menu: mentioned here my least pleasant note)
We chose a Barrosã beef rib. Spectacular, very tender meat, grilled in
point, simple seasonings, but which provided a beautiful accompaniment to the palate.
Accompanied with some potatoes and greens, very well prepared. Speaking of
Accompaniment, the mature red wine recommended by the host, was the house wine that
it was privately produced in the Meda region. Excellent!
To finish, we chose a burnt cream, which was an excellent choice.
It will be one to repeat, even experimenting with other dishes such as duck rice,
cod in various ways, roast veal, etc.
Finally, the price of this time spent here and leaving here with complete satisfaction with all this
repast, is surprisingly positive!
Congratulations sir. Rogério Ferreira, big hug“

“We stopped at this restaurant on the way to Santiago de Compostela by chance and were amazed.The menu is very varied, from starters to fish and meat dishes and even desserts. I can't even tell you about the flavor... I'm a fan of beef and for me it has to be at that point that few can reach... I was at that point! The chicken was also great and the dessert was really good.The decor is sober, very clean and tasteful, I didn't think I would find such professionalism in such young people, they are all young but they already know the value of good work.As for the price, which is what interests a lot of people, I honestly thought it would be more expensive, it was affordable.We will definitely return!“

“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“

“An experience to repeat without a doubt!Fantastic food, nothing industrialized, everything delicious and homemade, tender meat, desserts from the Gods.It is worth highlighting the very professional service provided by Angela, professional and friendly??“

“The decor, ambience is extra ordinary. What a feast to the eyes. All features restored tastefully to the period. A gem of a place to dine. Food was very good too. Staff were very attentive to our needs. The owner even took time out and showed us around. Very impressed with what she had achieved. Perfect for weddings and functions. It definitely will not disappoint.“

“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“

“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.“

“Very varied tapas with vegetarian options always accompanied by a good selection of wines and sangria. Menu with good dishes for those who don't want tapas, such as: cod, octopus and sliced ​​meat.
I recommend a "pajamas" for dessert!
Friendly and attentive staff!“

“A great surprise at the Terra Ó Mar restaurant! I went for the first time with a friend and I was delighted with the homemade seafood rice. I returned again with other people, both family and professional, and I can see | we have proven that this dish has excellent quality versus quantity. It was accompanied with a top of the house sparkling wine. I recommend you try it! You won't regret it. PS I appreciate the always friendly and welcoming way you welcome customers. Thanks.“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent, original and innovative food while maintaining a homemade and quality character! Good price / quality, I recommend!(Original)Comida excelente, original e inovadora mantendo um carácter caseiro e de qualidade! Bom preço / qualidade, recomendo!“

“Beautiful place with ambient music, very good food and incredible service, we told them about eating on the terrace because we have a dog and they gave us a table inside the establishment at the entrance (putting a bowl of water for it) we will “

“Isabelle and Nelson received us with extreme kindness and introduced us to excellent local gastronomy, through home cooking that we will remember.Thank you for this warm moment. To all pilgrims, do not hesitate to take this step aside and move a few minutes away from the “official” path“

“Second time we go there to eat a good francesinhas, never disappointed, very nice boss and waiters, in addition to speaking a little French. Despite a full restaurant that we didn't book, we were able to find a place on the terrace, fast and efficient service ?“

“(Translated by Google) I ate the francesinha in this house. I always eat francesinha without sauces because of my allergies. But in this house I ate it with sauce. Very good and not spicy. I recommend for the services provided to me also for the friendliness. Top(Original)Comi nesta casa a francesinha. Eu sempre como francesinha sem molhos por causa das minhas alergias. Mas nesta casa comi com molho. Muito bom e sem picante. Recomendo pelos serviços que me foi prestado também pela simpatia. Top“

“Restaurant with a modern and very beautiful atmosphere. The service was competent and friendly.We tried the T-bone, excellent quality meat, as well as the side dishes. At the end we tried the tiramisu which is made at the table. A pleasant surprise.“

“Restaurant familial, ils sont très gentils et chaleureux.
Cela fait maintenant plusieurs années que j'y vais, ils ont une carte très grande où j'ai pu manger divers plats différents (carnivores pour ma part) et tout était toujours très bon avec un prix contenu.
A chaque fois que je rentre en France j'ai peine de m'en éloigner..
Muito obrigado

Vegetarian options: Même si je n'en suis pas sensible, il y a pas mal d'options pour les végétariens.“

“The restaurant was very clean, modern and plenty of natural light, even on a rainy day. The food was plentiful and the price very reasonable. The pecanha was cooked perfectly to my liking. The service was fast, professional and pleasant. If you are looking for quality and very tasty meats, this is the place.“

“The best octopus restaurant in Portugal is this one.
Definitely take the house specialty octopus and also take the special bread (garlic bread).
Impossible to be disappointed if you like octopus. The sauce and flavor of the octopus mixture is a delight.
I recommend this address for octopus lovers.“

“We came here by chance when visiting the nearby beach. It was a great success, we ordered some meat skewers and then some rice, be careful with the quantities, the average amount of rice for two people is huge. Of course, spectacular quality, everything very rich, very good service and good price. 100% recommendable“

“We communicated through Instagram, we went on vacation to Portugal and when we returned we looked on Google and looked for it on Instagram. They responded very quickly. The service at the place was very good. The food excellent. We will be back!!!“

“(Translated by Google) Very good pizzas, salads and lasagna.Not to be missed are the bread balls with garlic butter. Delicious.(Original)Pizzas, saladas e lasanhas muito boas.A não perder as bolinhas de pão com manteiga de alho. Deliciosas.“

“We were in the restaurant for the second time after 2022, and it was again worth a visit.
The food, we again had the cod dish for two people, was very tasteful. This time the potatoes weren't the country's typical, rather chip-like freshly fried potato chips (I prefer the typical ones, it's very individual).
The service is very attentive, as we speak Portuguese we had a very good attentive service. A little “inattentive” here and there, but not annoying if you don’t have to have everything perfect.
In summary, a nice and tasty dinner, I love coming back every few years, it's no longer quite the WOW experience of the first cod - but still a recommended address around Esposende.
Great value for money - especially the wine list and recommendation “…de la Rosa “Douro”, which went well with the dish.

Parking: No problem - enough free parking spaces

Kid-friendliness: As you are used to in Portugal, extremely hospitable and child-friendly??

Wheelchair accessibility: No problem“

“It's the 2nd time I've been there and it won't be the last. Young and dynamic team. The cover charge is delicious. The dishes are very well served and the caramel fondant with vanilla ice cream is divine. The only thing I didn't like was the coffee. Such an easy thing to miss and yet I think it would have been one of the worst I've ever drunk.

Vegetarian options: Good options“

“Taberna Pimenta is now very high on our list of traditional Portuguese restaurants to visit when in the Vila Verde, Braga area. We chose to dine al fresco and were absolutely delighted!!! Taberna Pimenta is set in a small, quaint village surrounded by lovely greenery and rolling hills and fresh country air. From the presunto, olives and country-style corn bread to the grilled codfish dish to the fried pork cubes and "bolachos" accompanied by their in- house vinho verde: so fresh, so delicious!!! The service provided to us was absolutely exceptional!!! Make sure to call ahead and make a reservation. We cannot wait to return!!!“

“Ideal for a family Sunday lunch.A place full of good traditional Portuguese food. If you want to have a family lunch, in a space with a good quality/price ratio, family service, and extremely well-served portions, this is the place to go.The space is large and well-illuminated and also has free Wi-Fi. There is plenty of parking underneath the restaurant and to the rear. If you want to book, there is that possibility.One of the best restaurants in this region.“

“Very friendly staff and they try to please. The rooms should be upgraded. Some fungi in the bathroom.Food & drinks: They have oat drink. I suggest buying the one from Aldi instead of the one from Mercadona. It's bio and similar price.The coffee from the machine has a strange taste.“

“Uncle took us to this tavern for a pre-dinner snack. We only had appetizers and wine. Service was very friendly. The atmosphere was very Portuguese‐esque, and we felt very at home and comfy. First time drinking vinho verde from a bowl (as it is tradition in nothern Portugal). Fiancée had Moelas (stewed chicken gizzards in slightly spicy sauce) and she enjoyed it a lot.“

“(Translated by Google) The real roasted barbecue chicken open on the coals and very well seasoned.In my opinion the best chicken within a radius of 30 klm.(Original)O verdadeiro frango de churrasco assado aberto na brasa e muito bem temperado.Na minha opinião o melhor frango num raio de 30 klm.“

“Go NOW! This was such a wonderful experience and the food was PERFECT. Nothing fancy on the outside but inside is a gem. Beautiful white tablecloths, reasonable prices, and food again, PERFECT. We had recommended menu items from the owner (as we speak no Portuguese & he speaks some English). Service was outstanding. It’s worth a drive here if it’s out of your way.“

“For those who like traditional food, there is nothing better than the Belchior café-snack-bar restaurant, very affordable prices and good service. You can also take the opportunity to visit the surrounding area and get to know a little of the local culture.“

“Terra Mar dish very well served. Loaf of garlic veal, octopus and tiger prawns of good quality and well prepared. With good image and layout on the plate. Liking the meat more enhances the quality of the meat to the touch and flavor.
Good atmosphere, beautiful and friendly employees. I recommend!“

“I had a great experience at Taberna o Manhoso!The beef medallions we chose were simply delicious, juicy and well prepared. The service was impeccable, with friendly and helpful staff, providing a welcoming atmosphere.I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a combination of great food and quality service.To be repeated on a next visit to the region.“

“The food was great, especially the goat, it was in my top 3, the service was also good, the price was very acceptable, however the waiting time was immense, which is a mitigating factor because it was on Easter Sunday.I will return and give the benefit of the doubt regarding the wait time.“

“Excellent food!
Good quality meat, perfectly cooked, punched potatoes with a unique flavor, very well cooked and roasted and even the salad was wonderful.
House dessert was delicious!
Very helpful employee, with a very comprehensive knowledge of all the dishes. I highly recommend it!“

“(Translated by Google) I ate a very tasty bitoque, the meat was tender, which makes the snack service high. There's soup every day...(Original)Comi um bitoque muito saboroso, a carne macia, faz com que o serviço de snack seja elevado. Há sopa todos os dias...“

“Restaurant with a very welcoming, sophisticated look, and in my opinion very beautiful.
Quiet, beautiful terrace with a lake and lawn as a backdrop.
Very friendly service (thank you Nuno and congratulations) and efficient.
The food is delicious, well prepared and very well presented.
We have visited this restaurant 3 times, it was always fantastic. Therefore, I recommend you visit, as you won't regret it.“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent food at prices that may not suit every wallet but still the quality justifies the prices.(Original)Comida excelente a preços que poderão não ser para qualquer carteira mas ainda assim a qualidade justifica os valores.“

“Where should I start? We have enjoyed the hospitality for almost 14 days and that should say enough. We ate very tasty dishes (chops, lamb, chicken, hake fillets, sirloin steaks, fried hake, gizzards, etc.) and the mixed salads were very filling and very tasty. We drank very good wines (white, red and green) and were often treated to a glass of homemade Port wine. Tasquinha Pratinha was a big part of why we enjoyed our stay at Viatudos so much. Obviously, we were happy to pay a little more than the minimum because we had some extras.
We will definitely be back next year. Big hugs for the whole team, Joseph and Gloria“

“The restaurant is stunning and very cozy. The service was excellent, very professional and the food in general was delicious, specially their famous steaks “Bife à Paço and Bife 3 Pimentas”. Highly recommended we we will definitely come back“

“Small menu, but what we chose was absolutely delicious. I had steak - perfectly cooked, tender, succulent and appropriately red in the center. My husband said his hake was also excellent. The restauranteur recommended wonderful white wine when we asked for a dry. Always a good sign when the place is busy with locals.“

“(Translated by Google) Mrs. Cátia Costa, you must have dined somewhere other than the national tavern, never at some point, the tavern staff ask or asked to write down orders on pieces of paper, we would appreciate it if you would return to our location so that you could consider your criticism , thank you very much(Original)Exa sra Cátia Costa,a senhora deve ter jantado noutro local que não a taberna nacional, nunca em algum momento,os funcionários da taberna pedem ou pediram para anotar pedidos em pedaços de papel, gostaríamos que voltasse ao nosso local para que considerasse a sua crítica, muito obrigado“
