“A great Thai restaurant. The food was wonderful. Being a vegan, there were very good options on the menu. Highly recommend this place!

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan options. You can choose tofu and your protein for a lot of dishes.”

“I had the pleasure of dining at Ikigai Omakase João Vitorino restaurant, and it was an unforgettable dining experience. The food served is simply exceptional, with a special mention for the cod which was divine – the best bacalhau I have ever tasted. The toro sushi cooked live on an ember was also remarkable, a real explosion of flavors.

Although the meal takes time, around 3 hours, you don't see the time passing as the experience is so immersive. In addition, the sake menu is very comprehensive and the recommendations were perfect. An absolutely must-do experience for lovers of exceptional Japanese cuisine!”

There was so much food that we took out half of the food, and the process was smooth even though English wasn't very good.
I understand why the rating is 4.9.”

“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.”

“The atmosphere is absolutely fire! When I first came to this bar I was pleasantly surprised by the unusual exterior, everything was simple and original. And the hamburgers in general are just the bomb, I’ve never eaten such a huge and tasty one! In the summer on weekends, live music. The owner of this establishment, Carlos, is a pleasant and sociable person. Sometimes he organizes a private dinner for friends. You can talk to him on any topic, and if you need help, he will help.”

“Average-good sushi. Good price-quality ratio.
The restaurant is pleasant but small and we sat at a table of 2 right next to another table of 2, which didn't provide much privacy.
I didn't appreciate the fact that we ordered some starters, namely the Hot Philadelphia and, and the UMAI special salmon set, which included the Hot Philadelphia. I hoped that the employee had alerted us to this fact so that we could order another starter instead.
In conclusion, I recommend this sushi restaurant.”

“Exceptional Francesinha, very well served. French speaking waiters. €9.80 with drink, with free fries, UNBEATABLE value for money. Go to Póvoa to eat better than in Porto.”

“We were recommended by the house where we stayed and the truth is that we loved it. A very pleasant, quiet atmosphere. Exquisite, excellent treatment. He gave us great advice and we felt great and what can we say about the food... we ate a scandal goat and a picanha scary.If you go to Barcelos this is a mandatory stop.

Parking: Easy”

“Best pizza restaurant ever, staff are incredibly nice and all staff have a knowledgeable of English which makes it very tourist friendly!!! Pizzas are made in a stone oven and freshly served, prices range from 10€ to 15€ way too cheap for amazing food, they have a big variety of foods from pizzas to pastas and even burgers. Evening time the restaurant is always somewhat full but the staff always find accommodation to every need you may desire, inside the restaurant it may get very humid from the oven and the outside heat but in general everything is perfect the outside is covered with umbrellas in case of sharp sunlight. Perfect for big family dinners or singular meals. I absolutely recommend this restaurant for my life, i come at least once every vacation i spend in Esposende. Everytime i arrive it feels like a family meet and a home cooked dinner! BEST RESTAURANT IM ESPOSENDE BY FAR!!!!

Kid-friendliness: Staff are very nice to children and are not bothered by children.

Wheelchair accessibility: Inside and outside are very spacious only the bathroom may be a slight problem depending.”

“Welcomed by a charming person, the burgers to die for, fresh products, artisanal cuisine, tasty, excellent background music, we traveled and tasted.Congratulations to the chefs and a little hello to the waitress.”

“Normally we do vegan Pizza at home because many restaurants lack of putting flavors and effort into vegan pizza. But not this place!!! The pizza with pistachios was one of the best I ever had. They sell the vegan Pistachio Pesto, also the very delicious olive oil. I couldn’t resist, I had to buy both for home. Would recommend this place to every vegan!! Would give 5stars, if possible to non-totally-vegan places! Updated from previous review on 2025-06-08”

“Nice and friendly owner who spoke passionately about their place and the decor. He prepared a tasty meal with love and care that we enjoyed after a long walk in the Camino. We also savoured their almond cake which is the speciality of this region. Thanks for your great service and hospitality.”

“I recommend +++
Very good restaurant and very affordable. The staff is very cheerful and friendly, especially since we have young children.
We will come back”

“The unbeatable service. The exquisite food. The perfect room temperature. They were full of attention; very attentive but without overwhelming. The sea bass was exquisite, with golden potatoes but less done inside. Without a doubt a reference to take into account. BBB.”

“Fantastic restaurant, well decorated, ambient music at the ideal volume and sushi of immense quality. Experience to repeat, without a doubt.

Parking: Difficult to park on the street (I'm not sure if there is a caliper or not). Paid parking near the restaurant.”

“We were unsure about eating there because when we came in it was empty. We decided to stay, and I’m glad we did it! We were hungry and the place is right on the Caminho! We ordered the Hamburger Completo, the nice lady attending us explained how they are prepared, and it was delicious!!! The beverage was cold, the food was perfect, and the service was great! Don’t doubt because it may be empty at certain times of the day, go for it! You will not regret! 5 stars, no doubt!!”
