Tasty, delicious tapas-style food and very friendly staff. Great value for money.

I deliberately came here for a simple local lunch because of the reviews, and I wasn’t disappointed! Off the beaten track tucked away on a quiet side street, but when you get in there are lots of local customers, the Portuguese menu is across the wall and the waitress speaks good English and you get an English menu - what’s not to like ! I got three seafood tapas dishes based on the waitresses suggestion plus a bottle of Vinho verde - The sardines and octopus was lovely bit the raw cod salad was not to my liking ( but you got to try new things!) The whole meal came to just under €25 which was very good value and about the cost of the main meals on the Main Street. Fully recommend

Very good and tasty food, a bit expensive. Great environment and atmosphere, small but cozy place, I liked it.

Excellent! So much to choose from. Honestly the best restaurant in Viana.

All good, but the "Pataniscas de bacalhau" had too much black pepper.

So delicious. Each dish was so flavorful. We enjoyed the polvo a galega (octopus served Galacian style) with olive oil and paprika, mexilau (mussels served cold on the shell with parsley, red pepper, onion and a dab of vinegar), moelas (chicken gizzards in a creamy tomato sauce) and cogumelos e costanhas (mushrooms and chestnuts sautéed with olive oil and oregano)—my favorite! The owners were friendly and gracious. We can’t wait to return.

It’s a Tapa restaurant. If you want anything different from tapas, there are not many options. I’ve eaten a Francesinha, which was very good. But the couvert was lazy and pricy, service was regular, wine and water were not cold enough and we sat on a very narrow bench on a long table, despite we were in a party of 4. All wine and water glasses looked dirty. The bill took too long to come and the wouldn’t accept international credit card. I wouldn’t return again.

O Tabernão went beyond our expectation. It might look like any other 'tapas' restaurant but the dedication to please the customer gives it the extra edge to win us over.

Cozy restaurant at the city center of Viana do Castelo city with an spanish style food and snacks inviting you and your friends to enjoy your time. The dishes are nice, atmosphere is cozy and friendly. Service is very good. Staff are nice, friendly, and fast. Meals comes in time. There are parking place around the Restaurant, and place is almost wheelchair friendly. Restaurant has a bathroom which I found it very clean in my visit .

Great local food and atmosphere. We had their home brewed beer which was awesome' and loved all the food. I totally recommend this restaurant.

Hier braucht man Zeit. Leider haben wir uns diese am Abend nicht genommen. Dafür aber zum Mittagessen. Das Restaurant ist nicht nur von Touristen besucht. Im Gegenteil viele einheimische gehen hier essen. Wir hatten je einmal Fleisch und Fisch. Dazu gab es vorab ein gut schmeckende Gemüsesuppe. Zu trinken hatten wir einen Eistee und eine Karaffe vom Hauswein. Zum Dessert gab es dann noch einen espresso. Uns hat es sehr gut geschmeckt. Der '' Schock '' kam mit der Rechnung. Für alles haben wir doch tatsächlich nur 12€ zahlen müssen. Wir werden bei unserem nächsten Besuch auf jeden hier wieder essen gehen.

Sehr gutes Essen mit exzellentem Bier.😊 Geheimtipp in Viana Pefect food with excelent beer 😊 Sekret tipp at Viana

Great tapas and service. The owner will stop your order if he think you have ordered too much.

Great tapas and friendly owners, we enjoyed this place a lot Don't forget to bring some banknotes from your country for the world map!

the food was horrible! The soup was a heavy cream, caldo verde is definitely not a heavy cream. The mushrooms were so salty that we couldn't eat them, the clams tasted good but only half were opened. I would never consider this restaurant as one of the top 10 best restaurants in Viana. I will never return!

Astonishing place , affordable super tasty food and very friendly service. Great for having a selection of different traditional Portuguese tapas. Definitely worth the wait if there isn't straight away available tables.

They said the dog could come in. But then they said the dog had to stay under the table instead of just saying they couldnt allow dogs inside. They made the experience very unconfortable from the begin.

This amazing small Restaurant serves a big variety of Tapas fresh HUGE shrimps and also a has a great selection of Belgian, German and Portuguese Beer! The owner is is lovely man which will guide you trough the menu if you need help. Also the prices are fair and the food was high quality. 100% Recommend

Traditional and seasonal options for vegans and vegetarians available (cogumelos com castanhas/mushrooms with chestnuts). Fast service and very tasty!

Really good place to eat with lots of variety. We had the costillas al vinho, alheira sausage with spinach and a salad. The dishes are traditional. Refreshing to go to a no frills restaurant. Good price for quality of food and close to center of town.

Sometimes, i return to a place for the good food, but this time I returned because of the food and the good treatment from the people at O Tabernão. I visited one week ago alone, and was so happy with the food i tasted that i brought two people i met so we could share more of this delicious dishes- it's mostly "tapas" or petiscos type of small sharing plates. We were all pilgrims on the Camino and we returned to Viana because we liked it so much. O Tabernão made us like it even more!
