Our group enjoyed a wonderful lunch at this restaurant. An absolute highlight of our trip. We were all served the daily specials and everything was absolutely fresh and delicious. Washed down with someLocal vino verde and finished with delicious fresh fruits and the local custard tart fresh from the stove. If you are in the area this place is a must!

We visited Restaurante Rocha at the advice of a friend and reading the reviews, and then went again later in the week. It is quite large and spacious (is stretches far beyond the entrance room with the counter). There is a decent car park at the side of the building.The food consist of a variety of regional and national Portuguese dishes. We tried the baked cod, the pork cheek, roast pork, and beef. All were well-cooked and tasty, as were the cold starters. There is a short but value for money wine list, mostly with local winesRegarding the service, although we arrived very early, spoke virtually no Portuguese and had two small children in tow, we were given a wonderful welcome, with no effort spared to make our meals as pleasant as possible. Value for money is outstanding by English standards. For dinner for 2 plus 2 children, with adults getting three courses plus wine we spent around EUR40.

The restaurant sits right on the river in a lovely part of the Douro Valley. Food is delicious, well prepared and well presented. There is a good list of wines including a number of by the glass selections for pairing with various courses. Chef Rui Paula was present on the day we visited and was incredibly engaging and gracious to his guests.If the weather is favorable, an outdoor table is a must. Reserve in advance.

A different restaurant, stylish with more international cuisine. Staff is professional however, sometimes a bit 'pushing'. Give your guests some time to settle and study the menu and winelist and never bring the bill to the table when your guests have not asked for it! This happened to us while we actually wanted to order a glass of local brandy with a second cup of coffee!
5. Cantina do IPI
The Canteen is open to all. A culinary exploration space, for foodies and connoisseurs with a careful selection of varied snacks, wines and cocktails. At IPI the lunch menu includes the sandwich of the day, a drink, soup, coffee and a mini dessert.

They didn't have our reservation even when we showed the host her boss's confirmation of our booking, nevertheless, she was able to seat us for lunch. The restaurant is a little hard to find. It's in the family's compound beautified with a variety of beautiful fragrance roses. In nice weather, you should book for outdoor seating. A quaint, modern, and elegant design. We had foie, carpaccio, duck breast, scallops, and Pavlova. Don't deny the home-made bread, olive oil, and mozzarella presented as couverture because it was simple but wonderful. The duck was tender and cooked medium-rare served with cheese puff pastryâdivine. Everything was delicious, nicely presented and not overly done, neither rustic nor high-end.

We scoured the main streets of Penafiel for somewhere for a birthday lunch (for 9 of us) and this place looked like the best bet. A very friendly waiter, with a smattering of English (thank you!), took our booking for the next day and welcomed us effusively when we arrived. The food is standard Portugese fare, so definitely not fine dining, but it's well cooked and, as in many Portugese establishments, comes in copious quantities at very reasonable prices. The wine list was also quite sufficient for our needs, including a very decent port to finish with.For hearty Portugese grub this place does very nicely.

From my home to the Cozinha da Terra we have to travel 42km. It is therefore a restaurant that deserves the journey, which is not very common. This time we were challenged by a friendly couple who knows the spot and goes there with some frequency. It is a rural house in stone and wood with the typical aspect of the houses of well-to-do farmers of Minho. The starters were very good. The "pataniscas" were not dry and they still had some fry oil, but the taste and texture were nevertheless at the right point. Then I ate a roast lamb that I had not eaten since my youth when the housemaid in our house in Beira Baixa made a roasted lamb that I still remember with longing. The white wine is produced by the owner's family is of excellent quality. We will be back as it is worth the trip!HelloThank you very much for your kind analysisAll the best for you
