A very nice informal restaurant. The waiter doesn't speak English but just let him decide what to eat. You will get the finest local dishes (kind of tapas ).

This is a great Italian restaurant in the heart of Penafiel. The staff speak good English and are very welcoming. The Pizza's are delicious as is the Risotto. Great value for money and really clean. In the summer, there is a lovely terrace garden.

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.

If you are looking for a restaurant to take your girlfriend/fiancé/wife, this is not the place for you. This restaurant is perfect for a guys night out--the food is typical Portuguese and very VERY heavy. The food keeps coming from appetizers to dessert along with the wine. Going here with a group of Portuguese men as an American made the experience even more amazing. I would definitely suggest this place if you are around the area. Service was good, not amazing but very friendly.

We ate at the Wine Bar twice during the northern leg of our Portugal trip and had two fantastic meals. Set in a small preserved village, the restaurant is nestled into a storybook setting of winding stone roads and mountain views. While the ambiance is quaint and rustic, the food is refreshingly innovative and offers up some delicious twists on many traditional Portuguese dishes. We ate there with a large group which is the perfect way to sample all the small plates on the menu. Particular group favorites included the bread with chunks of chorizo, quail eggs in little edible nests, stuffed peppers and the amazing octopus salad. While the restaurant is pitched as a wine bar with tapas, the portions are substantial, so we dialed back our second night to lighter dishes which were the ones that really shone. The food was complemented by great service during both of our visits which we all immensely enjoyed. This should be a must stop if you are staying in the Penafiel area - we highly recommend!

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.

Nice restaurant and pleasant staff, very friendly. Traditional starters are nice and the main course was good. We had fresh fish and steak. Nothing special, just good.We are living in Portugal for over 10 years now and when we ask for a maduro wine in a restaurant, average price is very reasonable, at average around 7-10€. for a good wine. We asked for a bottle of rosé, On the bill they charged us the price of 25€ for an average wine. As mentioned, we live here for over 10 year and go out for lunch 4 a 5 times a week and never ever paid 25€ in a local restaurant.Boa noite obrigado pela visita assim como o comentário será sempre um prazer servir vossas excelências Com os melhores cumprimentos Vítor Carvalho
