Best places: Restaurants in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal

Laid-back restaurant specializing in ribs & steak, plus seafood, tapas & desserts.

👍👍 I see why this place has a perfect score of 5/5 on Google. The Door was the best meal we had in Porto. You can tell the dishes were made by trained chefs with a lot of creativity to make contemporary and delicious dishes, also celebrating the diverse cultures chefs bring to the kitchen. I particular...

Quaint, unfussy eatery with a local menu featuring tapas, seafood plates & desserts, plus wine.

Relaxed restaurant serving traditional Neapolitan pizza & lasagna, plus cheese & sardine boards.

👍👍 This cafe is right in the heart of the city. Serving generous portions of breakfast and brunch with great flavors and beautiful plates. My husband said the chicken salad was "the best salad he has ever had" I had the veggie toast which was huge and delicious. Hot wine was perfect on the chilly morni...

👍👍 A beautiful and quiet little family-run restaurant, not too far off the busy Gaia Port House waterfront. Great spot for a quiet and intimate lunch, snack and/ or drink. Great service and amazing in-house, authentic, local food, for very reasonable prices. And don’t let the home-made aesthetic of the...

👍👍 The staff is unbelievably welcoming and friendly. The owner took the time to explain to us what each dish is and which region of Portugal it came from. I personally love the chicken gizzards and the octopus salad. Also try the green wine if you haven't already. This is an extremely popular place,...

👍👍 Absolutely divine - I can not rave about this place enough. Me and 2 friends shared the charcuterie board and honey Camembert walnut dish and it was delicious. The atmosphere, staff and food were all wonderful and especially welcoming . I would definitely recommend this place as a must for anyone vi...

👍 Tonight was amazing. The waiters were amazing José en Rodrigo thanks for tonight! Everyone was so sweet even when were ordering a bottle of wine for 1 person. The food was fine but the whole experience was fantastic❤️

👍 I was disappointed to learn they are no longer open for breakfast so the Turkish eggs that are so highly reviewed are no longer available. We ordered the rigatoni and creamy rice. Both were good but not extremely noteworthy. If we was a nice touch of herbs in the creamy rice but too much mushroom.

👍👍 We had a fantastic wine tasting experience at Bacchus vini. The food was very good and Maria did an excellent job of informing us on the different regions and types of grapes that created the wines in our tasting. We had done a port tasting at one of the port producer's across the river and this w...

👍👍 The menu is full of Punjabi classics, which are not modified to fit “western” palates; all authentic dishes and flavors which will transport you back there. For anyone who has spent time in India or is used to genuine Indian cuisine, you will find not only the taste but the price exceptional. When y...

Laid-back restaurant with outdoor seating, specializing in burgers & beef sandwiches, plus sangria.

👍👍 This place is my favorite for brunch in the whole Porto. The food is delicious and the presеntarion is eye catching. Service is 5 start, the owners and the staff are going beyond to accommodate the clients in every aspect. Portions are huge but don’t worry they are so good that you’ll find a room. W...

👍👍 This is by far my favourite place in Porto - a true hidden gem. I loved the coffee, the cake, the amazing view (if you stay at the window), but the most, I adore the family and the cosy vibe. I hardly resisted not to hug everyone out there. It is a family business and I remained impress by the atti...

👍👍 It has a quiet local restaurant atmosphere rather than a tourist restaurant. It is run by a grandmother, and it was impressive to see a lot of pictures drawn by her grandchildren with crayons hanging on the walls. Grilled sardines, grilled sea bass, cod croquettes, and bacalhau dishes. All the food...

Small, intimate eatery offering Portuguese & Mediterranean tapas plus steaks alongside wine.

Small, informal venue plating Italian pizza with traditional savory flavors, plus sweet toppings.

😐 A place to repeat? Maybe not… although the food was flawless, unbelievable flavors and product combinations, everything was absolutely perfect and delicious. Very good wine list, we went for Alentejo region. Desserts were also amazing. Now we wonder why only the overall is 3 stars? The staff is very...

👍👍 Stumbled across this restaurant and popped in for lunch. Had soup, duck rice and pork in oven ... all were great. Added on a side salad and lovely fresh bread. We had some great green wine recommended by the waiter too (friendly staff!). Finished off with lemon cake, espresso and white port. Fanta...
