Restaurants in Vila Nova de Gaia

“Everything was magnificent, the taste of the food was exceptional, the two girls who served us were attentive to everything.
We would definitely repeat.
Just 7 minutes from the river, it's worth the climb!
Thank you for serving us so well!”

“Make reservations on their website; it was busy when we went. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. Had the house francichesca and the "duck" rice, and both were very good. It was such a treat to easily order vegan food in Portugal!”

“Fantastic place! We had been awake and travelling for 24hrs and wanted some proper, authentic food. This did not disappoint, the food was so good with excellent flavours throughout. The staff were very friendly and professional, you MUST GO HERE!”

“To come to this place i had probably the longest walk I ever did in Porto. So I was building a lot of expectations along the 2 hour walk.
I have to say that the overall price quality ratio is not bad. However I did not understand the hype of the tomato soup. Its just tomato concentrate with sugar and salt. Probably no fresh tomatoes were used in preparing the soup.
The pizzas however were up to expectations, it's a proper wooden fired oven and the ingredients are fresh. The tomato sauce and the cheese are authentic and only one person in my group found the pizza too fatty, with excess truffle oil.
The limoncello is nothing special and didn't try deserts.
It's a good pizza, but not worth the detour if you are visiting for few days. There are better options in nearer areas, like Foz and Matosinhos.”

“Some DaTerra are no longer vegan, this one is as of Sept 25. Delicious noodles and seitan dishes, rotating menu, so just try it all. Friendly staff and the medium to-go box can fit a lot of food if you can't buffet.”

“One of the best spot I've tried in Porto/Gaia. Attentive waiters, extremly well seasoned food and a nice atmosphere overall. It may be on the expensive side but are well spent money.”

“Sou fã deste restaurante e vou lá muitas vezes. Eles servem pão de pizza como entrada, seguido de uma deliciosa pizza vegan. A massa é especialmente boa, o que torna a pizza ainda melhor.”

“Fantastic family run business. Burgers were great as was the service. They were close to closing and accommodated our group of 10 without rushing us! Wine and beer were flowing.”

“Excellently prepared dishes, excellent service from start to finish.
5 well deserved stars especially to Fernando (Nandinho) waiter for his professionalism”

“Pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. Very good food, varied and well prepared. I also took it home and everything was very well packaged: Stroganoff, Skewers, feijoada, prego on a plate, everything was very good. as well as desserts.
Quick service, very attentive.
Easy parking and 5m from El Corte Inglés (metro) I recommend it and I will come back many times! Thanks!

Parking: Free from 7 pm but it is easily found around. free on weekends”

“Menu with good options. Good and friendly service.
Prices within the standard of what is offered as an option.
The dish I chose was expected to be tastier.”

“Fit food restaurant with Brazilian seasoning. Sensational. Chef Renata makes customized lunchboxes for the specific needs of each person, be it food intolerance, diet or medical recommendation.My daughter and I eat it practically every day.I recommend it immensely. 5 stars”

“Authentic and affordable Asian dishes, nice people and quick enough service.

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs, same level as the street walk.”

“After a lot of walking we needed to have a decent dinner, and ta da Gallo Grigio was across the street. They were great at making sure the pizza I ordered was vegan. ?”

We have come several times, I recommend!”

“From the super complete menu, both in drinks and food, to the tasteful space, to the premium location in the best area of ​​Gaia. But what really stands out is the service, both from the manager and the rest of the staff.
In short, it's the best beach bar I know.”

“Excellent little place for dinner in the evening, very nice charcuterie/cheese platters and we recommend the tapas to share and the flambé chorizo: a delight!

Thank you for the welcome and well done to the team, we will come back!

The Frenchies”

“Best BREWERY in Porto and surrounding areas. The spot that combines all the points I look for in a brewery:
Well located, with an excellent atmosphere and an appropriate atmosphere (from the music to the attentive staff).
The food is top notch and the beer isn't even mentioned! With options for all tastes and shapes.
Do you like beer? So you have to try it at J’agora ?”

“We had been wanting to enjoy this restaurant for a couple of years and this year we made it happen. A locally-owned and managed establishment, with a definite eye for detail. Creative entrees. Delicious! The escargot - their way - was like no other I'd had with the mustard sauce over the top. My husband's ribs were accompanied with corn on the cob, slaw and potatoes. Portions were sizeable and everything was delicious. Philip was our service. Especially attentive without being pretentious. If another server noticed a patron's water glass was low, he would fill it - even if not his assigned table. That is service. Everything about this experience makes it worth 45 minute drive.”

“Nice riverside dinner spot with plenty of fish dishes to choose from. Our fish was swimming in oil however it did taste delicious and the portion size was huge and plenty for 2 people.”

“We really liked it, despite it being full there wasn't much noise, which we loved!!

The service was impeccable, the atmosphere and decoration were also to our liking and the food, despite having cooled down very quickly, was very good, the only negative point was realizing that the rice was heated.
Meal prices are affordable!”

“There is really only 1 vegan option, Vegetable soup with the linguine veggies but both are really good. The soup is a "creamy" potato, and while the linguini is basic the veggies in it are really well cooked and seasoned. Both are a hearty serving”

“I want to thank Tina and Rui for the hospitality with which they welcomed and treated us.
From friendliness to availability, I want to express our gratitude here.
Whenever you come to Gaia, count on my visit.
Best wishes to both of you and have a good holiday ?”

“Very nice view and a good wine selection and appetizers to pair it with. The waiter is so nice and attentive. He really knows his stuff and takes time to explain to you about different wines you're tasting.”

“Typical atmosphere of a tavern, spectacular atmosphere, waiters and the owner of the establishment are very friendly and communicative, I will definitely come back again!”

“This place is amazing! The atmosphere is great, all the decorations inside are just in place, very cosy and home-like! I like the coffee and at least everything I tried from their menu was very tasty. But the killer-feature for me are the table games that they have. 100% recommend!”

“Regular stopping place. Always with a strong turnout. Getting bigger and with more employees.This time I ordered a special burger but the said burger (meat) was of a different (inferior) quality to the normal one. We usually order burgers, steak and dogs to share (we are a family of 5).Spectacular beef steak.They are hiring employees.

Parking: Depending on the time, there are many or very few seats.”

“One of the few places where you can eat freshly made food.
Cod baits are a must-have, they contain cod, I recommend them...
Rustic and welcoming appearance, the service is like home, rustic, but friendly and quick.”

“I'm Brazilian and I've lived here in Portugal for 4 years, I've eaten several francesinhas and this is certainly one of the best, if not the best in the Porto region, what a pleasant surprise! Everything is fresh and of high quality and well served, the sauce is excellent, I will buy again.”

“Top service, the food is delicious and well prepared.
A pleasant, beautiful and welcoming space, especially the terrace that makes us feel like we are dining in a garden.
Friendly staff.
The white sangria is divine.
I recommend.”

Traditional freshly prepared with a very authentic Italian style flavor.

I can definitely recommend it!

I really liked the new changes. For the better....”

“I don't blame the team. I know a little about this environment and I know that what is needed is training. I'm here now and it's been more than 20 minutes of waiting for the menu of the day, it's not any different, exclusive dish”

“Great food, friendly staff, but at the end of the night, although the rest was still full and there was no one waiting for a table, the feeling was that they wanted to throw us out so many times they came to the table to lift glasses and plates and empty the rest of the food. drinks in glasses... I didn't like that part.

Parking: Too expensive...”

“The place is very nice and cozy, it has several rooms and a terrace at the foot of the River, very pleasant and helpful treatment, they adapt to any special request you have, the food is simply great and of quality, the octopus is wonderful and the salmon (loin ) It is brutal, after several days in Porto I can say that it is one of the best places I have visited, don't leave there if you try the fritters

“Great variety of food in an all-vegan buffet. Creative and tasty dishes. A meat-eating friend who ate with me enjoyed it as well. We took the bnoffee pie for dessert, it came as a generous portion. I didn't expect such a unique place in a shopping center. Highly recommend.”

I don't know the name of the manager who was there on Friday night, 9/08, but he was a very approachable guy, ready to resolve any situation with the customer, professional.

“We heard from the Social Media that the Chicken Piri Piri in Portugal is something that every tourist should try. We came to Porto determined to try one, but it's hard to find a restaurant that serves Chicken Piri Piri. We ended up having it at O Piri Piri, which is in Vila Nova de Gaia. We were amazed that the chicken were delicious and the fries also tasted great. I call tell that they were cut really fresh and fried. Another great surprise was that 2 whole grilled chickens, a serving of fries, a salad and a litter of Coka Cola only cost us 29€ and a change. What a Treat!
By the way, you have to tell the staff inside that you want a tabe to dine in, in order to be seated. Don't wait outside because the long lineup is usually for take out. ?”

“Excellent experience at Casa do Pescador, in Afurada.
We opted for squid, which was on point, accompanied by mashed potatoes, which were also delicious.
The food is homemade, with that genuine flavor that we appreciate so much.
We ate on the terrace, which offers a pleasant atmosphere, especially on sunny days.
I recommend going as soon as the restaurant opens, as the place fills up quickly and service can be slower due to the large influx of customers.
However, even with a full house, the service remained friendly and welcoming.
I highly recommend it to anyone looking for good food and a relaxed atmosphere.”
