“What a wonderful meal! Unexpectedly we debuted Oma's new menu. Everything was excellent, but when we talked about the meal again the opinion was unanimous, and the highlights were: the brioche (from the house's homemade breads), the cauliflower purée from the starter, the crispy potato (from the Presa à Bulhão Pato) and the texture of the Veal. In dessert, the highlighted element was fig leaf oil. The chef's mastery was noted, accompanied by the extreme friendliness of the service. Ending as we began: a wonderful meal!“

“Fantastic place, excellent service, five-star service, especially the owner who is incredibly friendly and attentive.
Our choice was a steak au pepper and a chunk of it was empty. The meat is of high quality and cooked to perfection.
I recommend
Excellence“

“Cozy place, very well decorated, delicious food and Joana served us very well.Valentina's cod is simply wonderful, if you go, try this dish!The desserts are all handcrafted, there wasn't a bad one, everyone ordered one so we were able to try them all haha, they were all very good.My favorites were the banoffee and the passion fruit cheesecake!The owners were very attentive and even took a photo with us! We will definitely be back!“

“The best restaurant we went to this week we spent in Douro (we came more than once). Super welcoming place with homemade and honest food. Mr. Joaquim made us want to come back with his kindness and care in the treatment. We also had the opportunity to meet Dona Custódia, the chef in the kitchen who, in addition to being a great cook, always brings a smile on her face.
We will definitely come back and refer the site to all our friends.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Quinta da Lama, a former olive oil mill that has been transformed into a delightful restaurant. The place exudes a cozy and rustic charm, with clay pots and vintage stone adorning the dining room.The menu offers a wide range of dishes, from traditional Portuguese cuisine to Mediterranean and European influences. I opted for the “posta à lagar”, a succulent tenderloin steak cooked in olive oil and garlic, and the cod with cornbread, a classic Portuguese dish that was moist and flavorful. Both dishes were exquisite and prepared with fresh and quality ingredients. The salads and bread were also very good.For dessert, I indulged in the “leite creme”, a creamy custard with a caramelized crust. It was heavenly, one of the best I ever had. I also enjoyed the house wine, a local red wine that complemented the food perfectly.The service was impeccable and attentive, and the prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. I had a splendid time at Quinta da Lama and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and satisfying dining experience in Amarante.“

“Sushi lovers: This is a must. Servings and presentation are great. Ingredients are fresh and natural. Definitely NOT an average buffet sushi. In addition, restaurant is very cozy and staff very helpful, friendly and kind. You can't leave this place without trying their amazing "sangria".“

“Um dos melhores restaurantes onde estive. Comida caseira excelente !
Aspecto rude exterior nada a ver com a qualidade da comida que lá se faz.

Kid-friendliness: Sim.

Wheelchair accessibility: Sim.“

“Tasca with a good atmosphere, always with fado music at a very pleasant volume, very friendly service and attentive to customer needs. As for food, for those who like tapas this is the best place to eat, worth every euro spent. Very tasty food, excellent quality, excellent prices for the quality it offers. Without a doubt, it is one of the best restaurants in Felgueiras for tapas. This is the second time I've been there and I will definitely go back. The prices range from €15 to €30 (although I entered 20-25), as it will always depend on the amount of food you order, the first time I paid €31, the second time I paid €19.. The dish What I recommend trying are the nails in the bread that are in the photo, you will certainly like them.

Parking: Sometimes you can find parking in front of the restaurant's door, sometimes you have to leave it a little further away but only 100m away, until it's quite close.“

“I stopped by Penafiel by chance and stumbled upon Ze Gusto. What a wonderful surprise! I tried the daily special, which was a tender and juicy cut of tuna accompanied by thin and crispy homemade fries. The wine list looks amazing as well. I highly recommend this place, 100%.“

“I would say that it is almost the best sushi I have ever tried in my life. Since we were in Portugal we wanted to have something more traditional but we ended up here and we couldn't be happier. The sushi was delicious and they did very good service, the buffet price is GREAT!

Vegetarian options: If you tell them that you are vegetarian, they will make you a more personalized sushi for you, this is what they did for my friend who was delighted.“

“I really liked! We ate garlic bread with cheese and bacon, the potatoes with cheddar cheese and bacon are incredibly good, I had a spectacular Calzone that I loved, and the kinder bueno cheesecake dessert is good. But the crepes are divine! I went with a group of friends, the atmosphere is good for talking and hanging out, and the staff are very friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, it is, there is Portuguese pavement around it but the entrance is level.“

“Small, family-run restaurant frequented mainly by locals, menu with various tapas and local dishes.
We tasted several things and accompanied everything with some house wine. It was all very good.
Fast but attentive service. Incredibly low prices even considering the quality of what we ate.
Absolutely recommended“

“In 2021 we had already gone there and loved it, we returned this year (2024) and of course we had to go there.

Service, food, atmosphere 5*

The garlic bread with bacon is very good, as are the pizzas and passion fruit sangria. We loved it again and totally recommend it.

There is parking at the door.
Super nice terrace.“

“We found this gem random on a google research and: thank god! Mr Luis was AMAZING! great outdoor seating.. amazing meat.. some starters to kick it off.. bolo bolacha was yummy too and the serve white wine of quinta da lixa! Yum! We loved it and will def come back! “

“Pleasant surprise!
Very pleasant restaurant involved in “Tongobriga”, Chef Paulo Damatta is very attentive and the dishes are very well prepared with his personal touch, congratulations.
We had a veal skewer for lunch with cracked eggs, and a mushroom toasted starter! 5*
I'll definitely go back there... I recommend it.“

“One of the best restaurants in the area. The service is absolutely excellent. All the staff are very attentive and friendly. The food is cooked to perfection and the portions are absolutely huge. Price wise I think it’s very cheap for what you get. I’d recommend any meat dish but the “polvo a lagareiro” is exquisite. Give this place a try, you will not regret it!“

“Magnificent experience, on our vacation in the area, they recommended it to us and although they do not make reservations at meal time, being a group of 7 people, they made an exception
Magnificent service and magnificent food
Be sure to go to this establishment on your visit to Marco de Canaveses. Once again, the attention received from 10“

“Great place to eat for €7.5 per night with bread, soup, coffee and drink. Without a doubt it is a find these days. The employees are very welcoming and the service is very fast. The food is simple and traditional, great for trying typical Portuguese foods. I will come back here for sure“

“Very surprised by everything in this beautiful space, simply fantastic service, the food was well prepared and delicious, I really liked the oriental mushrooms" for their sweet and sour flavor which I'm a fan of, all the tapas we tried were wonderful, we will definitely try more dishes again❤️❤️“

“Very high level.
Simply divine food, from starters to desserts, prices within normal limits, but considering the quality, I would say they are even affordable. And the service is very friendly.
I recommend it without any doubt!“

“Visitamos o Solar do Douro por recomendação de uns amigos. Atendimento atencioso e simpático por parte dos dois funcionários. Local sossegado e agradável. Pedimos bochecha por recomendação, e também porque já nos tinham dito que era conhecido, e bife. Carne bastante saborosa e tenra. Foi um jantar bastante agradável. Relação qualidade/preço aceitável.“

“Pleasant place with beautiful natural surroundings outside.In terms of what was served, it could be improved and has the capacity to do so, hence my 4 stars.Professional and friendly service from the owner adds value to the experience.I wanted to return.“

“In the city center we discovered this excellent restaurant that welcomed us very warmly. We chose a table on the balcony which gave our dinner a fresh feel.
The food was excellent, with simple things but very well combined, for example, mushrooms with cheese and a touch of mint....... Desserts follow the same policy.
Place to consider whenever you return to Amarante“

“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.“

“Extremely well decorated restaurant with a good atmosphere and modern colors and very young!I loved the decor, service and food!And above all, the amount we paid was within expectations!I definitely recommend it and we will certainly come back!Visit it too and you will certainly share the same opinion!

Parking: In addition to having its own parking lot, there is a small square with free parking near the restaurant!“

“Today for lunch was my first time at Cancela Velha. It was busy but no waiting, seated immediately. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Was with my brother and our Portuguese language teacher. We all ordered the soup (nabissa), breads and olives and cheese appetizers, bacalhau cakes, daily special (pescado and arroz com gelho). Appetizers, soup, and daily fish and rice specials were delicious. I particularly enjoyed the rice. We ordered some traditional deserts, natas de ceu, pudin, bolo traditional. Deserts were delicious especially the natas de ceu. We ordered an apple turnover to take home for our mom. Our server said “warm it slightly and serve with ice cream”, which of course we did. Our mom is 92 and she has tried a lot of apple turnovers in her 9+ decades, and she said “this is the best I have tasted, get more next time please.” Overall an excellent experience and since we are now locals, we will be back again!“

“We ordered the famous "Posta de Vitela" and it was very good. Very tasty and good quantity. The owners are very friendly. Of course, you have to bring cash because they do not accept credit cards. For my taste, the price of food and drinks is a little high considering the location.“

“Excellent pizzeria with many options in the center of Penafiel. Wide variety of pizzas and pastas, as well as affordable daily rates, starting at €5.50 during the week. Wonderful service, impeccable staff! The terrace has an extra refinement! It's worth knowing and enjoying. White wine sangria is a plus! I highly recommend it.“

“Overall, I really enjoyed the experience. Super friendly and attentive staff. From what I've tried, I recommend cracked eggs because they innovate the recipe and add the possibility of a sauce that is very tasty. In the Francesinha part, I didn't like the constitution or the sauce but it's a personal taste, I appreciate spicy and vibrant sauces as well as sweet ones. The dessert, surreally delicious and creamy! My popcorn loved the burger which was actually quite filling for a children's menu!!
Super recommended and thank you for the service “

“Absolutely perfect restaurant in which we spent a great evening with the family. We happily tasted the Portuguese specialties and everything was delicious and plentiful.Special mention to Carlos who is an extraordinary and passionate man. His kindness and professionalism transported us. We are delighted with this discovery and hope to return during the next vacation.“

“The best cod we ate, everything was delicious even the vegetables were amazing tasting.
We loved everything we ordered, from start to finish.
And for the quality, I can't complain about the price.
We will certainly repeat it.
We finally found a restaurant with quality and a unique flavor.“

“This place gets a lot of attention on YouTube, so we gave it a go. It’s a bit claustrophobic, the tables are fairly close together, so if you like your space this mightn’t be for you. The food was top notch and the staff were friendly, so top marks here!“

“Dîner vraiment très bien. La prestation est loins des standards portugais. Nous sommes là sur de la qualité autant sur le service que sur la nourriture et cerise sur le gâteau maintenant que la rue est devenue piétonne le cadre est encore mieux. Honnêtement si vous aimez la gastronomie et que vous passez sur Amarante il faut y faire un arrêt.“

“The Patio do Sameiro Restaurant, located next to Jardim do Sameiro, in the drawing room of the City of Penafiel. It is a very beautiful, welcoming, intimate space, in a super family atmosphere.Traditional Portuguese cuisine, reminiscent of the cuisine of other times.We chose breaded chicken and grilled pork neck, which were excellent.Always Delicious Desserts.Good price/quality/service ratio.Two dishes daily.Excellent service and a lot of friendliness from the entire staff.A Special Thank You to D.

The boss is very friendly and speaks a little French.Their own vinho verde is a Brussels medalist and will perfectly accompany your evening.The setting is impeccableEverything is there to have a good time!We recommend and we will come back“

“(Translated by Google) A very welcoming place to try the best convent sweets in Amarante! ????It was in this tiny but super cozy teahouse (which even looks like a doll's house), that we ate 3 of the most typical conventual sweets from the north of our country: Lérias, rockets and Tâmega breezes.Overlooking the river itself and very well received by an employee who was kind enough to tell us a little about each one of them. You can see that here all the sweets are made with care and attention that is different from all the other pastry shops we went to in Amarante :)The biggest highlight goes to the Lérias (I'm suspicious because a good almond always comes in handy)! There was still to be tasted the famous papos de Anjo, and São Gonçalo - which will certainly stay for a next time ????Ps. I also highlight the phallic sweet, which contrary to the traditional and what you see in other pastry shops, is not made with a hard and dry dough, but with an “eclair” style dough.(Original)Um sítio muito acolhedor para experimentar os melhores doces conventuais de Amarante! ????Foi nesta pequenina mas super acolhedora casa de chá (que até parece uma casa de bonecas), que comemos 3 dos mais típicos doces conventuais do norte do nosso país: Lérias, foguetes e brisas do Tâmega.Com vista para o próprio rio e super bem recebidos por uma funcionária que teve a amabilidade de nos falar um bocadinho sobre cada um deles. Dá para ver que aqui todos os doces são feitos com um carinho e atenção diferentes de todas as outras pastelarias onde passámos em Amarante :)O maior destaque vai para as Lérias (sendo eu suspeita pois uma boa amêndoa vem sempre a calhar)! Ficou ainda por provar os famosos papos de anjo, e os São Gonçalo - que vão certamente ficar para uma próxima ????Ps. Destaco ainda o doce fálico, que contrariamente ao tradicional e ao que se vê nas outras pastelarias , não é feito com uma massa dura e seca, mas sim com uma massa estilo “eclair”.“

“(Translated by Google) Beautiful space and very quiet environment. Friendly service, but inefficient in the proposal of options to eat. No tapas or list service were suggested, just simple dishes of the day. At another table, another collaborator presented a larger "range" of alternatives - we had already placed the order - It was the main reason for the classification. After the start of lunch, it was suggested to bring more fillets and/or accompaniments if desired. The hake fillet and potatoes were delicious. Biscuit cake is also very good. I would like to point out that we were at the restaurant next door waiting for the table to be cleaned, when I noticed that there was a tapas house - with good recommendation "maps"... Easy parking in front or on the street. Cheap price with coffee included in the dish of the day.(Original)Espaço bonito e com ambiente muito sossegado. Atendimento simpático, mas pouco eficiente na proposta de opções para comer. Não foram sugeridas tapas nem serviço de lista e sim apenas pratos simples do dia. Em outra mesa, outra colaboradora apresentou um maior "leque" de alternativas - já tínhamos feito o pedido - Foi a principal razão da classificação. Após o início do almoço foi sugerido trazer mais filetes e/ou acompanhamento se assim o desejasse. O fillete de pescada e as batatas estavam saborosas. Bolo de bolacha também muito bom. Gostaria de salientar que estávamos na porta do restaurante do lado a espera da limpeza da mesa, quando reparei que havia uma casa de tapas - com boa recomendação "maps"... Estacionamento fácil em frente ou na rua. Preço barato com café incluído no prato do dia.“

“(Translated by Google) Restaurant with excellent preparation of traditional food, I tasted the roast veal, it was simply fantastic. Great sangria and 5* service, excellent space with covered terrace, great for groups, I was curious about the special francesinhas but I will be back soon.(Original)Restaurante com excelente confeção na comida tradicional, provei a vitela assada estava simplesmente fantástica. Sangria otima e atendimento 5*, excelente espaço com esplanada coberta, otima para grupos, fiquei com curiosidade nas francesinhas especiais mas voltarei brevemente.“

“Strangely empty on a Friday night, because given the incredible quality of the food it deserved to be completely full. The monkfish rice is delicious, silky, delicious and practically perfect.
The service was very attentive and the recommendations were excellent.
To be repeated without a shadow of a doubt.“

“Good morning. After a lot of excitement, I decided to try a francesinha and the result is simply FABULOUS. Without a doubt the best of all, I recommend it. Attention, you need to make an appointment and don't rush, relax, enjoy the moment.

Bonjour. Après beaucoup d'exsitation, now décidé d'essayer une francesinha et le résultat est tout simply FABULEUX. Sans aucun doute le meilleur de tous, je le recommande. Attention, il faut prendre rendez-vous et ne pas se precipitater, se détendre, profiter du moment.“

“(Translated by Google) Very well decorated restaurant, considering that it is installed in a building that was once a primary school.Excellent food in terms of food quality as well as confection and full of flavours.An excellent wine list.Price according to the service.To be repeated without a doubt.(Original)Restaurante muito bem decorado, tendo em conta que está instalado num edifício que outrora foi uma escola primária.Comida excelente em termos de qualidade dos alimentos como confecção e cheia de sabores.Uma excelente carta de vinhos.Preço de acordo com o serviço.A repetir sem dúvida.“

“After doing the PR4 in Serra da Aboboreira, the goal was to miss the famous year in the oven. There wasn't, but we were compensated by a good meal and excellent greenery in the region. As it's the Christmas season, we ended with an excellent French toast. Thank you for the welcome and excellent service. It is recommended.“

“This restaurant tries to simulate life in an old house in Portugal, in any village. The detail of eating by the light of oil lamps, the uniforms of the employees, the food cooked in a huge fireplace and the raw state of the construction achieve the objective. Well prepared food and attentive service. Cream milk is simply delicious! Well worth the trip. I recommend“

“The lady receiving payment responded in a somewhat incorrect way when asked about the location of a dessert, if she had seen it on the display she wouldn't have asked. But the food was good, the hand dryer was a good idea to replace with a silent one.“
