46 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Vila Praia De Ancora

“This is a wonderful restaurant where you can enjoy Portuguese cuisine while overlooking the sea. The owner was always paying attention to every corner of the store, and I could feel his love for the store. Especially the seafood risotto was extremely delicious. I was alone, but they made me a half portion without complaining. All the employees were friendly and professional. The shop is full of Portuguese people. I visited on a pilgrimage to Santiago, but I highly recommend you check it out ???“

“Very good Italian style place in Caminha. The quality of the food is very good.
They are very well organized. I went in the summer and there were 12 people attending and each one with a clear function.

The pizzas are individual size. The wait, once the food is ordered, is approximately 20 minutes.

You can reserve a table from Google. It is recommended since it is always full. If you leave without a reservation, they have a waiting area and people pass by as the tables become available.

It is located in the main square of Caminha. The best place to park (less than 5 minutes away) is in the squares near where the Caminha firefighters are. There is a lot of room there.

Parking: The place is in a square where there is nowhere to park. However, two streets down (near the Caminha fire department) there are two esplanades where you can park for free.“

“We ate great and of all styles. The first day was a spectacular charcuterie board, the second cod (the most delicious we ate in Viana) was something great. It looks like a bar but it has a wonderful cook. The treatment of the waitresses is spectacular. Everything is great. I will repeat without a doubt. 100% recommendable“

“We found this place by chance and it was a great success. We ordered the menu of the day which included soup, grilled sea bream, wine and dessert. The waiter told us that he ran out of sea bream but that they offered us baked sea bass and it was wonderful. I will return one day“

“We ordered a francesinha and a burger, they were divine. It's been a long time since we've had a francesinha this good.
Five-star service and extremely friendly person in charge.
When we return to Viana do Castelo we will definitely go there to eat again.“

“It is a place to go slowly and savor each and every one of the ingredients. Family and homemade food. We found it on our way to Portugal and it was a great success. In fact, when we return we repeat... They are very friendly. Tip: go hungry, the portions are large. Ends aviat Sunday!“

“The best cocktails in Viana do castelo. If you have the opportunity come, it's worth it. It is super cozy and the attention is unbeatable. There are also options for drinks and beers. We came for the good music and found a spectacular corner. Thanks for everything!“

“A beautiful restaurant 5 minutes from Viana do Castelo and also close to the Vilanova da Cerveira fair. The rice with lubricant and the cod ao Camelo were exquisite. The perfect attention. Looking forward to returning.

Parking: In front of the restaurant“

“The dishes were very good and abundant...the service was a little stressful...they took our reservation at 2:30 and they wanted us to order immediately, without practically seeing the menu...I understand that they close at 3 but not having taken the reservation at 2 :30“

“Good place to eat delicious Italian food, with a relaxed and cool atmosphere for summer days, since it is a stone house with air conditioning.
Good service, with that extra bit of education that makes a restaurant a unique place and above all that tranquility that exists within an area as busy as the surrounding streets and square.
I will be back.

Vegetarian options: Yes there is that option.

Dietary restrictions: It puts it in the letter that is stated when ordering.

Kid-friendliness: Children are accepted without problem, I took a 6 year old and a 4 year old.“

“Excellent fish and sea bass soup. However, the price of sea bass is shown by the kilo (€35/kg) without it being weighed in front of us. Conclusion: they charged us €42 for a sea bass for two people, which after all the math is equivalent to 1.2 kg of fish (not emptied), which seems much more than what we ate (any website recommends 300-400 g/person ). It also seems out of season that the restaurant manager, who also serves, is not in uniform like all the (very friendly) employees.“

“We went to this restaurant because it was recommended. We liked it, but it wasn't spectacular. We ate seafood rice, which was very tasty but more like mussel rice, because it was the most. Some prawns (very good quality!) And almost no crab. The seafood cream was very good.“

“A great place to dine in Viana. The staff is very friendly, the menu is varied, suitable for children, adults, meat and fish lovers. Of the week we were there, we had dinner there two days, and all the dishes were wonderful. A total success“

“First time in Viana and first time at the place, very good attention received by the waiter who understood us and served us perfectly.
We ordered lasagna, francesinha (spectacular), garlic bread and mixed salad, and for dessert a cookie cake that I would repeat if it wasn't already full. Highly recommended establishment, we will be back.“

“We stopped by on our way to Santiago and I can tell that I have never had such an extraordinary service. The man who was working there was not only a plain waiter, but made an effort to make our stay in restaurant pleasant and joyful - he was a real host. The food was great, portions were big, we took pilgrim's offer for 13.90€ which includes small opener, soup, main meal, desert and coffee. The fact is that this restaurant will remain one of my biggest impressions of Portugal. ❤️“

“All very good food, familiar and attentive staff, at an impressive price! Highly recommended

Vegetarian options: Quite a few vegetarian options (potato and cheese omelet, mushroom scramble, fried camembert, gratin eggplant...)“

“This is an excellent address! For a very reasonable price you eat excellent Portuguese dishes (generous portions) and you drink an excellent white wine recommended by the owner who makes the effort to speak French. It's simple, it's good, it's worth remembering!“

“Our last dinner in Caminho - ended very well. We ate outside on one of the small tables. The menu is small but we tried most of it to share amongst our family. We loved it all - very well prepared & presented. Service was very friendly although perhaps slightly slow - however this is a place to relax & enjoy“

It is worth it and I will repeat the next time I am there.“

“We went to eat, we sat on the outside terrace and although it was hot, the food was very good there. It is covered with several umbrellas. It has a huge kitchen and a piece oven that you can see on the way to the bathroom and the interior living room. The food is very delicious, well presented, with style and with great taste. Dishes with a haute cuisine restaurant presentation at affordable prices. It's amazing to say that it is a delicious meal of sufficient quality and quantity.

From 10!“

“Authentiek Portugees eten, zeer voorkomende vriendelijke bediening, prijs kwaliteit goed, fijn wit tafellaken met stoffen servet en goed snijdende messen, ik hou ervan! Steak was super mals, lekkere frietjes en salade, simpel zonder opsmuk maar lekker!“

“The best restaurant that I have visited in all of Santa Marta, it has good service, the food is great, the place is comfortable and familiar, they serve the best tortas that I have ever tried and also there are many events so they are very available ????“

“A friendly place with 3 vegan options: hamburger, feijoada and breaded bread.I ordered the feijoada and it was delicious. It was vegetable feijoada and vegan sausage, it was well seasoned and the flavors combined well.For starters, I ordered potatoes bravas (the bravas sauce is vegan) and they were crispy and tasty. My companion ordered picanha and was also very satisfied. I recommend

Vegetarian options: 3 options: feijoada, hamburger and breaded“

“Delicious food! We ordered the portion that serves 2 people of cod with cornbread, and it would easily serve 3, there was plenty left over. We paid €33 for cod with bread (for 2), €33 for roast cod (for 2) and €12 for fish (for 1).

Points to improve: The internal environment is quite noisy near the kitchen window, and meals took a long time, but we went on Sunday and the restaurant was very full.“

“Very pleasant experience. The staff of 10, professionals who make the difference: they make a simple place a place to recommend to everyone who goes to the area. Ease of handling our reservation, fast and friendly service, details with the children when we leave. The delicious food, simple but well prepared: mussels, chicken, secret, cod and swordfish, homemade desserts, delicious wine. And the price is great. Thanks to all the team who make it possible

Kid-friendliness: Good place to go with children, super friendly.“

“Visually, the place doesn't look much and the service isn't the fastest, which is why we assumed that the food couldn't be anything special either. BUT: We were pleasantly surprised by the good quality and taste of the burgers.“

“The best pizza I have ever eaten in my life, both the boss and the employees are super nice, if you go to Viana do Castelo, don't miss it, we were delighted, congratulations

Rooms: Comfortable, clean,

Nearby activities: Museums, the ship, Saint Lucia, etc.

Safety: It's very quiet“

“Typical restaurant with very good fresh dishes and homemade desserts. Thanks to the cook for this wonderful meal... Thanks to the boss and the very pleasant waitresses.. good value for money

Kid-friendliness: Very available“

“We booked a table outside on the terrace for our family of 4. We had been here before several years earlier & pleased to se the quality remains high. Really nice service - we were recommended to take some smaller dishes & actually a cheaper wine than we finally opted for - so not over sold. we loved the clams, loved the lobster & other dishes we also shared. A lovely place worth a visit in the main area.

Kid-friendliness: went with our daughters & all good.“

“At last notice we got recommended this restaurant and it lived up to my expectations. We started with Portugueses codfish xakes (Pastéis de bacalhao) and some Pato negra. Each choose a main course in my case perfectly cooked octopus, very tender. The almond cake, the chocolate mouse and the pao de lo were all really good. After we finished our coffees the super friendly and helpful waiter insisted on offering a glass of port wine, which we all very much enjoyed.“

“Now it is called foral Dom dinis
There was a wait because it was Saturday but it was worth it because everything was very delicious.
The delicious chocolate mouse, seafood rice with broth, the super tender beef, the very good desserts. I would repeat if I returned to this place.“

“Nine kilometers into our Camino trek, we stumbled upon a welcome sight: Areia Cozinha na Praia. Exhausted but optimistic, we bellied up to the table.

The Sopa de Peixe e Camarao, a delectable hearty fish and shrimp stew, warmed my friends from the inside out. I savored the Creme de Ervilhas e Chourixo, a pea and chorizo cream soup, that was equally comforting.

It was the most high-falutin soup/meal and exactly what our weary legs craved. Refueled and spirits high, we were ready to tackle the next leg of our Camino adventure.“

“I was recommended by a friend in the area and it honestly did not meet the expectations with which I went.Local with traditional and seafaring aesthetics.Wide variety of Fish and Seafood.Attentive and very professional staff.We ordered a Soup (excellent *****) and Grilled Fish (dry and cold **).Maybe it wasn't the right day to order that type of dish.80% of the diners who were in his establishment were tasting some volandeiras and sea bass.“

“The service is very agile and attentive... The agility depends on what is ordered. The rice dish with baked octopus ? BEWARE because it is late and as the waiter already warns, it is dry, but it is good. The house bacalhau is very good with the onion and potatoes that accompany it. Don't forget a vinho verde to accompany the bacalhau and everything is ready. For dessert or after dinner, a cream puff. Also order a white Port wine to finish off the meal. If you are close to Christmas they can offer you a mini roscon de reyes.“

“The restaurant located in the port is quite large and is divided into two parts, one for takeaway food where there were a lot of customers and another part for eating in the restaurant itself.Good service and speed.Good quantities, both in the special salad and in the grill.Quite acceptable quality/price.“

“Typical Portuguese restaurant, 5-star food and service. The manager says that the cod is the best in Viana, the chocolate mousse too and the wine doesn't even mention it. I'm not saying against it because we were satisfied with everything. See you any day, Manuel and “

“We ate very well. 3x grilled chicken with fries, rice and salad and 2x cod with potato chips, onions and padrons.The service was attentive and friendly. We paid about 105 euros with house wine and 2 colas. We thought the price was very good for the quality and it was feasts...“

“Visited when busy, just wanted a quick lunch after a long trip back from Lisbon. This place was a pleasant surprise among all the fast food joints in the mall. We sat out on the balcony overlooking the city and were served extremely well by all the staff and the food was just right!“
