We really enjoyed this place! The food was super fresh and absolutely delicious. On top we got a very tasty wine recommendation and many interesting information about Duoro wine. The restaurant is managed by a quite young couple, who understand to combine traditional dishes with modern elements. Thanks!!

An absolute gem of a restaurant. Food was amazing and staff was beyond welcoming. Made our visit to Pinhao one to remember. Codfish Pie is fantastic. This place is wonderful and Gisella & Tiago are such sweethearts. Will be back soon

5 stars for the food. If you can somehow figure out how to get in here, you'll enjoy the good-to-great food, some of it inventive. But 1 star off because their process and organization is a abject fustercluck. They have no clue how to run a restaurant. We tried for weeks (seriously) to make a reservation - they don't answer the phone or return calls. There is no way to make a reservation online. There is no monitored email address. Thus, we showed up 10 minutes before they opened for lunch - and they told us to leave. No queue to join. No "add your name to a list". Just "we're closed, please leave". Rude. But instead we circled (we were very hungry and there are no other options in the area) and they ended up seating us first when they did open. The entertainment part of the meal was watching them shoosh away potential guests from outside seating that was apparently "reserved" but had no placard indicating that. People would wander up to what appeared to be an empty table, a server would literally run out and inform them they couldn't sit there. Over and over and over. None of the employees or managers thought to simply put a sign on the table. This is exemplar of the lack of managerial brainpower at work here. Crazy, but we got a free and entertaining show out of the circus. Ordering was a pain. The servers were polite but overworked, and there there was no way to get their attention to order anything (say, another drink or dessert). An iPad to automate the ordering would be awesome but I can't imagine this place ever catching up to modern restaurant operating standards - my dining partners laughed at me when I started brainstorming such ideas. This place is clearly run by fantastic chef(s) and incompetent manager(s). So...take your chances. There isn't much else in town worth visiting, the food is good-to-excellent. But you WILL be offended (or perhaps entertained) by the incredible process and and managerial failures. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

GREAT option! Abundant portions and reasonable prices. The staff is more than nice and the perfect views! A must go in the area!

We stopped in just as they opened and we did not have reservations. The found us a table and the food was wonderful. Highly recommend….worth trying to find them

Incredible food, wonderful service, beautiful setting. Definitely get the Port n Tonic 🍷

🍀🍷No where better for service and quality 🌏Busy in November, make sure u book . Best steak , in ages came back for it the next night , 🍀💚🍀💚🍀💚🍀💚🍀💚🍀💚🍀💚🍀💚😍🍷🍸🍸🍷🍸🍷🍸🍷🍸🍷🍸🍷🍸🍸 Great views from terrace , but too cold at night on November

Didn’t even get to eat here because there was still an hour left to the lunch service and after 10 minutes of waiting we had to wait around for the “boss” to say whether we can be seated to eat or not… the answer was “not possible” when there was at least 5 tables open. it was not even 2 pm yet. Just puts a shame to Portuguese hospitality that I am used to. If you can’t take people in before 2 pm please state your closing hours to be 2 pm and not 3 pm :) especially if you are taking in people from around the world who rely on google information to be accurate to visit your venue. Whether the food is good or not they shouldn’t be open for business if you can’t operate basic services.

Super delicious! The black pork is very good portion that goes perfectly with the sauce and oil. Salad and wine goes well that we had a great time here and our best meal in Portugal 💚

Excellent meal tonight. Appetizer and wine suggestions were spot on. Ordered the pork secret and tuna entrees. Both were delicious and they even had a nice offering for a vegan in our group. Diego who looked after us was wonderful. Make a reservation... you won't be sorry!

Nice sitting outside, friendly service. We both had tasty salmon steak, but mine had quite many bones, my husbands' was a bit undergrilled, a bit cold in the middle. Port tonic, and athmosphere was pleasant.

Had a delicious meal here, we had the steak and the sea bream. Both were well cooked and vegetables that accompanied them great. Explained gluten free options very clearly. Service was excellent Many thanks

Absolutely delicious dishes of perfectly cooked fish! My sea bream was a real delight and my wife enjoyed her salmon. The wines on the list all sounded good and we were quite happy with the one we chose. The view from the patio was a great addition to the experience.

The staff here could not be nicer, especially the manager. We had such a nice meal that we went back the following night and were treated to another gorgeous dinner. The Iberian pork is the star of the show, but the 'drunken cake' (a local specialty) more than gives it a run for its money. The portions are generous, and the food simple, full of flavour and beautifully cooked. Not fancy, just simple, quality ingredients prepared by a skilled chef. And the wine and port are wonderful too. Would highly recommend.

The best option in town… by far! Make sure you have a reservation. I’ve been here 2 days on a row, and both the sea bream and (especially!!) the picanha were delicious. The staff is amazing as well, so don’t miss out on this wonderful spot!

Stumbled upon the restaurant on the riverfront before our river cruise. Excellent Porto tonics and food. Highly recommend the caprese salad (big) and pork dish (comes with potatoes and salad)! Best “stumble upon” thus far.

Don’t bother eating a gourmet meal, this place is traditional and gourmet! The pork, beef, and fish were delicious! Cooked to perfection, the special grilling method this restaurant allowed flavor retention, not smoky, tasty! Veggie burger was fantastic!This seems to be a place where locals go to have a good meal. Beautiful location near the river. Best meal in Portugal so far.

Got lucky with a table outside for lunch without a reservation mid week. They have a vegan burger (pictured) which was very filling. The tuna steak was thoroughly enjoyed by others as well as the caprese salad (which is very large!) Friendly staff and a lovely spot on the river.

Great value! We ordered beef carpaccio, black pork, and sea bream. The carpaccio was good. Couldn’t taste the meat that much but the cheese had a hint of truffle oil which resulted to good flavor. The sea bream was fresh and clean tasting. Very simply flavored with salt and olive oil, just perfect for fresh fish. The black pork had good flavor. The slight browning and seasoning brings out the pork flavor well. Portions were filling. Our order was good for 3 middle aged people. Come early to avoid the crowd. We came at 12:30 and seating was not a problem. By 1pm, all tables were taken.

Great place, we had a very delicious lunch. For lunch: I recommend sharing entrees (both grill and salad dishes are huge and can almost feed two). One couvert (€5) brings you a lot of bread and olives; pair it with the fantastic cheese plate (€12) (a slab of some kind of soft, fresh, flavorful sheep's milk cheese; and lots of prosciutto); is an amazing deal. Friendly and attentive waiter! Thank you!

Nice clean restaurant. Good selection of meats and cheeses. Great lunch stop.

What a fabulous experience. The owner was so welcoming and knowledgeable about the ethos of the restaurant, simple, fresh, well cooked, healthy ingredients. His wine knowledge was amazing, he talked us through the options, we settled on an excellent local hybrid which was 22 euros. Food was delicious, tuna delivered that day from the seas to the North was amazing. All staff spoke great English and were so friendly. Massive shout out to the lovely chef who ended up driving us home in his own car having not been able to get us a taxi. Above and beyond, so kind. Thank you. If you are coming to Pinhão, eat here. That's all I have to say!!

I was not expecting this place to surprise me as much as it did. We had tree meat dishes and the three were amazing. The sirloin, picanha and pork surprise and highly recommended.

Beautiful place and area. Staff is really friendly and easy to talk with. The food was amazing and we will visit again for sure!

Had a wonderful lunch here - got in early to get a seat outside. Service was great. Mozzarella salad was amazing. Grilled tuna was perfectly cooked. The drunk cake and homemade icecream was so good, as was the local tawny port poured from the gigantic bottle. A really enjoyable fun experience before we headed off to the train home.

Friendly and relatively fast service. Reasonable opening hours. Very good and tasty food. We particularly enjoy their Porto-based cocktail. Highly recommend if you are looking for a quality lunch in the area.

Lovely restaurant with lovely staff. The portions are large, so it's probably best to share an entree. We did and still ran out of room for dessert. We had the sheep's cheese and prosciutto for entree. It was huge. It also covers with bread and olive oil/balsamic vinegar. Amazing. I had the rump steak and my wife had the pork for main. The streak was cooked exactly how I asked for it to be (rate) and was super tasty. The pork was also good. You also get a pile of baby potatoes and a large bowl of salad to share, so you won't leave hungry. This is a little more expensive than some other restaurants we have been to, but the value is there. Nice staff, lovely red wine and good food in a nice setting.

Great restaurant, we loved the salads! Service is awesome, we've got a short intro for the wine even though it was packed. We had to wait approx. 30 min for a table but it was well organized, everyone got his/her place when it was their turn. Fairly priced and great view on the river!
