50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Vila Franca De Xira

“Savel week in v.f
Xira. 2nd year that I visit this restaurant for Savel. 2 years with billing errors. Appropriate correction was requested. They partially corrected it only later at home I noticed that there was still an over billing issue. The price of the savel with the bread seemed to me to be somewhat exaggerated (28.50).“

“If you are looking for that dish of comfort food, that comforts the soul, to enjoy calmly. This is the place, where in addition to tasty dishes, desserts that you will have difficulty choosing, good bread, wine and olives. And with a price well suited to the Portuguese budget. This place is very worth visiting. I recommend!!!“

“This is a great spot in the evening as the sun shines onto the pavement outside and you can watch ships leave the port. We had the seafood plate for two which was excellent and came with a mallet and seafood fork ... necessary to get at the winkles and crab claws. Great selection of seafood which was €45 for two. Beer was extra!“

“Locale tipico portoghese, un po' rustico ma tranquillo e pulito, qualche difficoltà di parcheggio ma nelle vicinanze si può parcheggiare gratuitamente senza problemi. Ottima la cucina e il servizio, personale molto gentile e sempre sorridente. Se volete mangiare cucina tipica portoghese questo è il locale giusto. Prezzi Onesti per la qualità del cibo.“

“We literally stumbled across this place as my fiance spotted a garden courtyard squirred away inbetween some buildings. You have all the food on display, freshly cooked, you pick up your tray and point to what you would like. We had the creom of veg soup followed by chicken, with a choice of tasty roasters, salad, rice coleslaw etc. So one meat and 3 other accompanying food item from which to select. Large portions and we took our trays and sat in the garden. It's in the middle of a small shopping centre we'll hidden actually. I have given it 5 stars for the category its in, the food quality and price. A local food place with good honest fresh food very cheaply priced. We paid 21,50 for the 2 courses a cola and cappuccino.“

“[email protected] My husband and I are still in awe with our experience at Rossio Gastrobar. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, and they took the time to thoroughly explain what to expect from our dining experience. Our server was a true professional, able to suggest a wine based on our preferences and his choice was delightful. We were overjoyed at each and every step, from the starters to the main courses and on to the desserts - everything was delicious, and the portions were perfect. To top it all off, the rooftop views overlooking the bustling city of Lisbon provided a perfect backdrop to our meal. We'll certainly be back for more!“

“Cozy atmosphere, Mr Rui's service and wine recommendations are an experience in itself, the food is excellent, everything served in good weather and with spectacular quality, highly recommended. Congratulations to the entire restaurant team.“

“I go to Reticências frequently and have never been less satisfied with any dish. When it comes via Uber Eats, the taste is equally wonderful, which shows the quality of the dishes.
I can't choose a favorite dish but the oxtail with purée and the octopus are definitely among my favorites! The chocolate mousse is one of the best I've ever tasted!
The environment is welcoming, both for families and groups.
The people are incredible, available and friendly.
I highlight the creativity required to create daily dishes (for lunch) without repeating them from week to week, never losing quality and flavor. The way the food is prepared, cooked and presented always leaves me wanting to come back again.
Congratulations ❣️“

“A little pearl in the middle of the village where both the quality of the food and the service are exceptional!
Our favorite restaurant in the municipality of Vila Franca de Xira.
You will have to reserve seats well in advance as it is always busy, especially on weekends.“

“Good service, the outdoor area has a nice view on the river, and the food was fresh and overall very good.
Not the same typical Portuguese food you would expect: The menu has enough variety of fish and meat dishes that you wouldn't normally find elsewhere. There are a few vegetarian options as well.“

“We were very well received and the food was delicious. The cod with mashed potatoes was excellent and the picanha was delicious. The portions were very generous and we all left satisfied. Also worth mentioning is the dessert, with the camel baba and the pudding, which were very good! ?️??“

“We haven't been in Alvor since 2019, and were looking forward to several visits to this fantastic restaurant during our recent holiday. We weren't disappointed. Marco and Ricardo warmly welcomed us and it was like we had never left. The whole grilled fish was better than we remembered and we are looking forward to next year already. This is a "must visit" restaurant when in Alvor. Be sure to book in advance though!“

“We had a lovely meal at Maresia, the ambience was very relaxing and the staff great. Due to the popularity of this restaurant 2 of the dishes we would have liked had sold out, we had a large wild sea bass to share and the waiter filleted it at the table for us, it was delicious and was served with potatoes and salad, for drinks we had a large beer and glass of red wine. There is sitting inside and outside and they have 2 bbq grills.“

“All of great quality, here I could describe a huge list of the tastings I carried out so that in the end I could use the word excellent. For me there is only one drawback, the quality of the house red wine, is far below everything else.My sincere congratulations to the entire team, the one you see and everyone else behind the scenes. Only the quality lasts.Fernando Jesus“

“Casal Minhoto is an excellent option for a quality meal in the good Portuguese way. In addition to being one of the few restaurants in Póvoa de Santa Iria, it is a restaurant full of quality.
The last time we were there it was full and they gave us a 40 minute wait and accepted our name on the list. They handed us the menu and we were able to place our order before sitting down.
We ordered cockles, with toasted bread and garlic butter on the side, which was great, and fried turbot with greens rice.
The turbot came to the point of frying and seasoning. The rice is super naughty. The waiter served all three of us, which made a great difference to the service.
We had difficulty finishing the turbot that says in the menu it was for 2 people, but it served and there were leftovers for the three of us.
We didn't order desserts this time so I can't comment.
The friendliness of all the employees keeps us coming back.
Anyone who visits will certainly be well served.

Vegetarian options: I saw vegetarian options like fish from the garden.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp at the door that is somewhat inclined but not very long.“

“I hope next time there will be Fraquinho Assado, because the sauce is top, and when I say top, it's the best I've had.And yes, it's worth asking for extra sauce.Repeating.Imperial top too, in my case two tulips.Clean toilets.In fact, the last time I entered this house was around 2005/6.Coming back.“

“We've been wanting to go to this restaurant for lunch for a long time, much talked about for its generous portions, especially the cod and ribs. We opted for the cod and it didn't disappoint, for those who eat well, the portion is enough for 3 people, for those who eat like this, it's enough for 4. Good on the palate and not at all salty, but, for the price of the portion you pay, it should come accompanied with some vegetables and for the dish to be really top-notch, they should serve mashed potatoes instead of boiled ones. If you want vegetables, everything is separate, which makes the meal even more expensive. The desserts we chose, although not transcendental, were good. As for the atmosphere, we went on a weekday and, interestingly enough, what we were expecting, it wasn't too noisy. On weekends, we don't know.

Overall, we will be back, this time to try the ribs.“

“Our 6th time here, a favorite restaurant with excellent and consistent Portuguese/European inspired food, service and experience. Best couverts, entradas and several fish and meat entres, each fresh, beautiful prepared and delicious. Incredible homemade desserts. Manager Eddy, Chef Juan, Juan C, Bruno and Caria highly attentive in all ways making each visit remarkable......“

“D. Mônica is unparalleledly friendly, she has covered the history of the restaurant and the area, always available to help with any queries, the decor is divine, no detail is forgotten. Super tasty homemade food, nothing to write home about, will definitely repeat.
A good thing“

“Very good as always, my favorite restaurant, I'm sorry, I would like to visit it more often. Spectacle! Comply. to all staff. A big hug to Fred and Bruno. Long live the Glorious towards 37! (2017)

After a few years, we are back!!

“(Translated by Google) Very good food, nice host, friendly staff, good prices, good desserts, good wine and good atmosphere.To go more often!(Original)Comida bastante boa, anfitrião porreiro, staff simpático, bons preços, boas sobremesas, bom vinho e bom ambiente.Para ir mais vezes!“

“The shrimp tempura was super crunchy, and the house's new addition was goat cheese with honey and walnuts, an unusual and smooth mix. The orchard bandit sangria was also a pleasant surprise, super fresh and sweet, I loved it.
But what really melted me was the main dish: skirt steak with cheese sauce. The meat was very tender and tasty, the kind that makes you want to make it again.
And to finish, my favorite petit gateau, which was also wonderful.
Special attention to the staff who were beyond welcoming and kind, it really is a restaurant to return to frequently.“

“If you are not Portuguese, this will be an experience not to miss! Ti eat at a Portuguese seafood traditional restaurant, around 7pm, on a hot summer's day! If you are Portuguese, I highly recommend this \\\"marisqueira\\\" restaurant, and their fantasticly fun and good humoured staff!!! In my recent visit, I confess I never ate anything from their menu. I was travelling alone and I stopped for a Coca-cola and a bottle of cold water because I was getting a bit tired while driving... The place was full of men who clearly had finished their workday, some having beers, others drinking some of the fantastic white wines of Portugal, or the also very Portuguese Traditional \\\"Vinho Verde\\\" (\\u003d translation: Green Wine), which is a wine with natural gas, also called wine with \\\"petillance\\\" (a french word to describe the wine natural small air bubbles!). Vinho Verde is usually what Portuguese people prefer to drink when they order seafood!!! \\\"A Torre\\\" has a pleasant traditional sitting long counter with tall stools, and most of the Male clients were sitting in this area. It is great if youbtravel alone, because you stop to have lunch or dinner and end up striking conversarionsnwith other Clients, or with the staff behind thebcounter, and you dont feel awkward sitting alone to eat alone in a table! Families, or couples, tend to sit at the tables nearby! I decided to write about \\\"A Torre\\\" to compliment its well humoured staff, who served me! As I did not stop to eat, I was a bit embarrassed to order just a Coca-cola and a cold water to take with me on the long travel. I still had to drive alone for many km before arriving at my destination! The staff were just very pleasant, politely joking with me, and inviting me to have my coca-cola sitting at a table, instead of drinking it standing near the counter, as I was about to do! I was so well impressed with the seafood I saw being served around me, that I will certainly take my (British) husband there, on my next trip that will take me to that area, and - for sure - I won't miss the opportunity to have a nice selection of seafood with a good Vinho Verde! Wish all the staff all the best, and I hope my comments here encourage other tourists or Portuguese residents to visit \\\"A Torre\\\"! Another advantage is that you will always have safe - free of charge - parking!!! And a lovely pastry shop next door, to buy some very traditional sweet egg pies to take with you on your travels!“

“On the Camino, it's just up hill from Vila Nova da Rainha rail station. A tasty rice & bean mix with pork. Fresh olives and (try it), a fruit cup with a spot of port poured in. We sat outside in the pleasant breeze with an umbrella for the shade.“

“This pastry is simply incredible! Each visit is a true delight, with its irresistible custard tarts and mille-feuille. The quality is always wonderful.
Furthermore, the service is fantastic. The staff are very friendly and are always ready to help. I highly recommend this place to everyone who appreciates a good pastry!“

“(Translated by Google) Very good. I recommend.Been there many times and always 5 stars.And now I'm here with coffee and dessert...(Original)Muito bom. Recomendo.Fui lá muitas vezes e sempre 5 estrelas.E agora estou aqui com um café e sobremesa...“

“Pleasant space, with an incredible team: they serve friendliness, efficiency and professionalism.
The products served are of quality and this is evident in each dish ordered.
The way the food is served immediately leaves us wanting to try everything :)
The best dessert in the world is at Vilabrasa: biscuit cake with coffee ice cream.
The lemon meringue pie is right next.“

“Incredible site! Excellent food, in old-fashioned portions (yes... eating from a plate in some cases) with impeccable service and incredible friendliness. There was a birthday party which made the restaurant a bit noisy, but as soon as they left... Highly recommended! The price, another surprise... There were 4 of us, we ate 1 serving for each, dessert for each, sangria 2l coffee and freshly cut ham for starters... Not like the day before... €20 per person . (It's good for splitting a dose, it's served in Minho style). Congratulations!

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, including toilet“

“I didn't really know what to expect from the restaurant they took me to.
As I passed along the road, it seemed like I was approaching a house that was somewhat 'poorly treated' by the weather.
But after entering the park I realized why friends told me it was more than a restaurant... It's an experience, in a rustic setting so close to Lisbon, that reminds us of some spots in more rural Portugal.
The hot day helped us to appreciate the fresh white wine, and the company, the friendliness of those serving, to appreciate the chicken and rabbit slices, whose sauce is delicious, which makes us finish all the fries they brought to the table.
To return with the family - early, because it seems to me that it always fills up, and quickly.
The best food I've ever eaten?
No!
But let's be real, sometimes that's not the most important thing!“

“I stayed 8 nights in Porto. This restaurant was about 4 blocks from my hotel. The staff were always welcoming and helpful, some spoke very good English. The menu was also printed in English. Selections were varied and portions large. Cost was very reasonable. Please support them if you're in town!“

“Good beneficial x price ratio. Good food and "honest" service. The inside room, where I ate, is a normal place that didn't generate any special memories for me, but remember that there are tables outside where you can have a view of the citadel and, perhaps, a more pleasant experience.“

“Easy to find and easy to get parking. Loved the fact that there's no Wi-Fi so people talk instead of being on the phone during a meal! The owner is extremely nice and talks a lot. Fast service, off the charts staff and the food..... Delicious!!!!! Small menu makes everything better. Mandatory stop! Medium price.“

“After various tastings on our food tour, this was our lunch stop. It was a wonderful choice and we sampled a variety of items until we really couldn't eat any more! The Portuguese food is quite a treat. Staff was friendly and helpful. You should grab a meal here!“

“(Translated by Google) Very good Portuguese home cooking. The girl who serves is very friendly and the price is cheap. highly recommended(Original)Comida casera portuguesa muy buena. La chica que atiende es muy amable y el precio es económico. Muy recomendable“

“I recommend trying it as the flavors and the space itself are very good.
The food was pleasant, tasty, very well prepared. I loved it a lot. I followed the suggestion and went for the Linguine with shrimp sauce and I must say that it was very well prepared and that they didn't skimp on the ingredients to make the dish. The wine was great and in the end I ordered two gins which were very well prepared. I highly recommend it.
Staff very friendly and willing to help.
Once again I recommend the experience as the flavors and the space itself are very good.“

“The best francesinhas without a doubt, it just needs to be a little spicier. Not much but slightly. It was a shame that today when I tried to ask for one it was gone. I hope they have more francesinhas in the future because I'll be ordering again.“

“A restaurant that focuses on local products, with special emphasis on quail. We opted for a tasting menu of 5 moments (€40), with the option for 7 and 9 moments (€65). We accompanied it with a beautiful sparkling wine from Adega Mayor.
A meal to remember and to return to one day.
Thanks!!
Ps: The restaurant also offers à la carte meals. Parking in the area is paid, it is in the center of Alenquer. . There is free parking 300m away.“

“Wonderful food. We have been here several times, and have had both Ukrainian and Portuguese dishes. The daily specials are great; today I had a huge serving of seafood rice, absolutely delicious! My husband loves the Ukrainian food, a taste of home.“

“Visited Aqaba on a short visit and wanted to celebrate something. So we went to Suzanna. Their mezzo were good as usual. But the John Dory fish (locally known as Denis fish) was the best. Very subtly flavoured and topped with lemon butter. Just order the mains and mezze and dessert is on the house Good service.“

“This is a great spot in the evening as the sun shines onto the pavement outside and you can watch ships leave the port. We had the seafood plate for two which was excellent and came with a mallet and seafood fork ... necessary to get at the winkles and crab claws. Great selection of seafood which was €45 for two. Beer was extra!“

“Really nice service, attentive and accommodating. Comfortable and clean surroundings. We ordered octopus, which was cooked to perfection. It was served on the bed of spinach. Also we ordered sardines with backed potatoes. They were flavoursome and presented beautifully. The fish tummies could have been cleaned out better. Portions was generous. We had complimentary nibbles during the waiting time for the food. Water was expensive! Overall experience was really good. The manager invited us to come in the evening for live music.“

“I love this place, we were here yesterday and followed the phone GPS to come back here again and of course we'll come back tomorrow again lol. The food is absolutely delicious, the staff is amazing i have no words to describe how awsome this place is, authentic delicious portuguese cuisine. Don't go to Lisbon's centre, come to Bairro Alto where the action is. We are in our late 60's but enjoy their great night life, young and old but don't forget to eat here at Cantinho das Giveas“

“I don't think I've ever seen a buffet with the variety that this one has at the price it is. What a show!Too bad I came late, almost 2 pm. I believe that coming at noon, more or less the experience will be even better.Coming back for sure?“

“My wife and I recently traveled for almost three weeks across Spain and Portugal. We obviously ate at many restaurants during the trip, and enjoyed some very good meals. I can honestly say that top among them was Prima Pasta. Place is not fancy, but has a great “local” ambiance. Food is very authentic and incredible. Great value for the money and service impeccable. I highly recommend and would go there weekly if I lived in Lisboa!“

“A traditional food menu. Easter day we were served a roast goat with roast potatoes and white rice and greens. A good house wine from the region (Bucelas area). The desserts are made by the ladies of the house, at least the Toucinho do Céu and the Chocolate Mousse I recommend. Starters with sausages, sausage, farinheira, butter, fresh cheese and olives and a bread basket. Excellent service from Miss Catarina from the day of booking until reception. The staff is young and friendly. You'll have to come back to enjoy the other delicacies. I recommend it without a doubt.“

“This restaurant is always an excellent option, the interior space is small but cozy with a family atmosphere. Everything was good, from the service, to the meal and drinks. Quality regional products, well prepared, the doses are very well served, as is the house wine. To finish, in addition to the dessert and coffees, an Organic Port wine, divine. To the next..“
