16 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Vila Do Conde

“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..“

“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.“

“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!“

“Praça Velha continues to be our go-to restaurant for the prato do dia. Every day, there is a meat or fish dish that is accompanied by salad and potatoes or rice. The meal is started with fresh soup and includes coffee and a dessert (often fresh fruit, chocolate mousse, creme brûlée, or baked cinnamon apple). The prato do dia is always a very-reasonable price and the owners and servers are excellent. You really feel at home here, as they treat each diner with respect. The food is always fresh! It is an easy walk from the main street (one block from the market area) and is nestled in a quaint street. There are about 12 tables for four, one table for 8 or 9, and numerous patio tables.“

“Delicious flavours, quality produce, excellent service from both the front of house team and skilled chefs/kitchen staff. Loved the linguine Nero with prawns, sauteed vegetables were perfectly done and the chocolate mouse was too good. Excellent dining experience with a helpful waitress that helped explain the local beer and wine choices to a couple of Camino pilgrims.“

“Our family of 5 dined here for a late lunch, 2:15pm after a grueling Camino Hike of 25km in 85’ plus heat! From abundant ice water to cracking bread (crunchy outside, light as air inside). Wine list offers a bounty for every palate and dish on the menu! Wait staff treated us as special guests despite our inappropriate attire (we had not yet changed into our post hiking clothes), and yet management was understanding; however, in the future I will ensure that our men wear button down collars and long pants. Ladies should be dressed in professional attire as well: dress with scarf or pantsuit… yes, the atmosphere, service and quality of the food will impress you!!! Make sure to shower and dress appropriately AND definitely make a reservation.“

“The food in this restaurant was delicious and well presented, it had lots of choices between meat and fish too. The service from the waiters was exceptional and they seemed pretty chill. The location is beautiful too. Overall a very nice experience, I would recommend.“

“Hammer!Picanhas are served with a hot stone.Here you “grill” the meat yourself.The meat becomes incredibly tender and has a spectacular taste!It is served with arroz de feijão, fries or hot potatoes.Incredibly delicious!!!Very friendly service!Free parking in the area.“

“A great place to eat on the water front. We came across this restaurant whilst walking past and decided to give it a try. We are glad we did. We were seated inside on a very hot day which was ideal. The waiter was very friendly and guided us through the menu. For a starter we had olives, a selection of breads with tuna pate. For the main we shared the local cod dish with prawns etc., topped with potatoes. This was delicious and we ate the whole dish !. For desert we had the tart which the waiter poured whisky on which made for a superb finish !. We also had a bottle of the local white wine. We would definitely visit again.“

“Suelo ir a restaurantes con buen servicio pero este se coloca en el primer puesto. Profesionales atentos y serviciales un diez. Buena comida y buen precio. Si pides buen vino podras disfrutar de la liturgia del escanciador. Todo un arte, desde la apertura de la botella rompiendo el gollete por efecto calor- frio. Hasta el servicio en copa.....“

“Bonjour,Restauration gastronomiques dans un cadre de rêve, carte des plats produits frais , carte des vins avec des produits locaux , patronne, patron accueillant.Quand je suis en vacances je m’arrête toujours pour manger dans ce bel établissement, de nouveau de passage pour le travail j’ai fais une halte pour manger le Top, SuperJDC“

“Service was friendly although hurried. The kitchen works slightly slow.
5-star Costa Arroz, with lots of fish and delicious.
Average beef tartare as it does not differentiate itself from others...
Apparently with many wine labels, but of the options I ordered, they were practically all sold out. The price/quality ratio of the wine is substantially expensive.“

“Place with good price/quality ratio. I tried veal kebab, the vegetables were super fresh, the meat was soft and tasty.I just didn't like the melon they served, it was a little green, but they were honest in not serving me mango as it was quite green. I recommend !“

“We celebrated my birthday on August 6th at Portuguesia, and it was a wonderful experience, as always. The food here is exceptional, reminiscent of the traditional dishes our grandmothers used to make. Each bite transports us back to the comforting flavors of home-cooked meals, capturing the essence of authentic Portuguese cuisine.

The quality of the dishes is consistently impressive, from the rich, flavorful rojões to the perfectly seasoned cod and veal. Each dish is prepared with the utmost care, showcasing Portugal's culinary heritage.

In addition to the excellent food, the service was impeccable. The staff were attentive, friendly and made our dining experience really special. It's clear they pride themselves on providing excellent service and ensuring every customer feels welcome.

Portuguesia continues to be our favorite restaurant for family celebrations, and it never disappoints. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a taste of authentic Portuguese cuisine in a warm and inviting environment.“

“Great experiences!!! A beautiful place, very good food, very friendly staff, beautiful decor... an environment that transports us to another country ... in front of the sea, for me, the focal point! We left there, always with good energy and a "clean soul"! Perfect combination!!! I adore!! Both for lunch and dinner, even for a coffee! ?????“
