Firstly I must deeply thank my hosts Andre and Guilherme for a wonderful evening. The night began with a warm Portuguese welcome and an entrance into a beautiful setting surrounded by pictures of historical Pinhão, stunning staff, a picturesque view of the Douro river and pure character. The night did not peak there.... we begun with seafood entrees, fresh and simple yet delicious, carefully paired with a gorgeous local Tourney (recommended by the restaurant). Some would think the night must be bloomed and buried, but the main course really stole the show. We all ordered Carne, which was cooked and seasoned to perfection with delicious sides and again a gorgeous partnering of house red wine. We stepped through the dessert menu out of pure interest but could not go home and step past the drunken port cake (a recipe hidden locally for 40 years), wow! The evening was topped with a delectable Tourney Port. Again, a fantastic evening, my best meal in Portugal and I will be back!Obrigado,The Salvadorâs.

Had a really nice lunch her with friends, thankfully had reserved a table in advance as it was full up not long after we arrived. Nice selection of food, all freshly prepared and very tasty. Incredible value for the quality provided, and super friendly staff. We were recommended a lovely bottle of local wine, and it was so good we bought another bottle to take away.

Restaurant with typical Portuguese food, with a privileged view over the river and vineyards, with a breathtaking silence where you can enjoy quality time listening to a good Portuguese fado.

Writerâs Place is a wonderful, familiy-run restaurant in the Douro Valley. The service is terrific and the portions are generous. My friends and I ordered four different entrees from rabbit to pork and they were all delicious. Desserts were to die for!

We had our lunch here while waiting for our boat trip. The service was great the view was amazing but the food is a bit hard to recommend. The veal was so tough and we weren't even asked how we wanted it cooked. Their drunken cake desert was also amazing. Their staff speaks good English. The place is clean but the table we were sitting in was shaking and everytime we have to slice the veal the whole table shakes. It was a good experience on the place other than the meat we had.

Located close to the bridge, Rufete offers fairly basic meat and fish dishes. No starters available, only bread and olives. No extras, but quite ok and good value for money. The lamb chops were tasy and the rumpsteak ok and large portion. The restaurant has a large wine list, menues available in English and quite good service for a small family restaurant.

We had lunch here on our 40th anniversary! We just randomly stopped and were we ever in for a treat! The food was spectacular! We had a cool little table open to the street. The staff was awesome - very friendly and helpful even though they were super busy! My husband had the pear poached in port for dessert - his favourite dessert of our trip! Great, great food at very reasonable prices!

We stopped here for something to eat between wine tastings in Pinhao. The barman was very friendly, engaging with us and other customers making us feel very comfortable and relaxed. He also provided excellent recommendations of places to visit. The meat and cheese board was wonderful, with some lovely smoked meats, and sheep and goats cheese. There was a wide wine selection, though the house wine was very drinkable. Very glad we chose to eat here over some of the other places more aimed at tourists.

Recommended and booked by our hotel, this restaurant was a great choice. Very helpful staff - with helpful advice. Meals are mainly from the grill served with salad and baked potatoes. We shared a sirloin steak cooked perfectly to our order which was delicious with an excellent house wine to complement it. The restaurant was buzzing midweek and was good value.

The philosophy of Cozinha da Clara is to serve local Portuguese cuisine at its best â simplicity is the key. We also want to include a touch of the familyâs heritage, by adding some of my grandmother, Claireâs favourite recipes. Executive chef, Pedro Card

We were very happy with every aspect of our experience at this restaurant.The patio seating is pleasant with picturesque views of the Douro River and opposing hillside vineyard. It wasn't too hot when we visited, but if you tend to get warm indoor seating looked nice as well.The food was wonderful. Very fresh, with nice combinations and mixtures of flavors. I ordered the risotto, which was wonderful, but not filling enough so I also ordered the octopus. The food was a mixture of traditional and contemporary Portuguese cuisine.We arrived early in our rental car, as there are not a lot of spots in the small parking lot, although I imagine you could park on the street. I saw that some people walked from the cruise ship parked close by.Thank you for the kind words and I am pleased you enjoyed your meal. Parking during the harvest is difficult and we are trying to improve this. We dont get many people from the boats coming to see us as they tend to be all inclusive.
