Where to eat: the 12 best restaurants in Miranda do Douro

Food ok (you have traditional Portuguese food and Italian) but atmosphere is kind of noisy! Crowded with lots of people!

Nice views of Miranda and river. Pizza was a very good option, and the Robalo was delicious. Servers were very polite and helpful.

Very friendly staff.Thank you all and of course Luis

An average restaurant, though prices are reasonable. Not a lot of fish in the Bacalhau a Bras which was a mixture of rice, cod, potato and onion. The flavour was fairly bland, but edible. Certainly not the best bacalhau to be had in Portugal. The pizza was ok, bit again, not the best pizza I've eaten. Service was good but not excellent and the waitress needed reminding to bring a number of items ordered. Ambiance was far from relaxing given the packed dining area. So all in all an average review for an average restaurant.

Great service even though the restaurant was very busy. Delious pizza & reasonably priced. Menu had a great choice. Children's menu was also very good

Good food, quantity more then enough, not too much time waiting. The only one open for dinner on Sunday. The price also adequate. I recommend.

Music extremely loud for restaurant ambience, people had too scream instead of talking, slow service, food mediocre, not impressed.

If you like steak get the Posta Vitella Miranda, gorgeous steak cooked to perfection. Very good value for money.

Great Portuguese-style cod, served by a very kind and polite owner.

Very nice restaurant. Close to the castle. Clean and good quality of food and wine. The dish is in big amount.

Codfish was ok. Patatoes drowned in oil Cold light, tv on, owner is watching tv He seems a bit sad, just like the restaurant

The food os really Great ! The flavors are from the traditional Portuguese cuisine with special remarks to the typical food of Miranda the famous “Posta Mirandesa” Special steak from Miranda and the “Polvo Grelhado” Grilled Octupus. And finally the personal is super. Don’t miss it !!!

Just awful. The owner isn't humble when critized, in fact it was a little bit rude. Food is not fresh. Doesn't worth the price.

Menu in English. Opening hours incorrect Good wholesome Portuguese food.

It was a nice restaurant. We started with melon and curred ham. They were delicious. Then we had the mirandise vitela and bone in rib eye. Booth are large cuts that could be shared and both were excellent. The resturant had a sign saying that the beef was from a local bread and even listed the ranchers name. Same for the lamb. The other table in our group had the roast chicken. It looked very good and they said it was. Don't skip desert. I had "camel drool". Don't let the name fool you, it was delicious. It is a whipped condensed milk with caramel. There were also several types of pies and other cakes. The prices as I recall were also very reasonable.

At the beginning we've got bread and butter without plates. At least very quickly the weiter came to take the order and was pleasent. we were 6 adults persons and none of us was satisfied. I've ordered a beef casserole and got an unchewable sole of beef with a layer of cheese covered it. Only the cheese was eatable and kind of tasty. All of it was swimming in cream sauce that had no taste. The food is not tasty and even unchewable. I also had a salad campera that had no sauce, the lettuce had taste of sand. Some of the tomatoes were rotten. The only thing that was o.k is the quick service.

I visited for afternoon lunch in late September, lovely tapas and very friendly staff.

Great restaurant with amazing views over the river and old city. All tables are separated by glass partitions to adapt to the pandemic. Huge portions. Posta a Mirandesa is the ex-libris of this part of the country. Don't miss the delicious red fruit cake.

The two starters of clams and fish cakes where excellent Main courses arrived before finished starters which seems a common issue - chefs driving the service rather than the waiting staff which could be eleviated by a maitre'd to manage things. Main courses large but the salt cod dish and the salt cod salad both lacked seasoning. Tomatoes in salad tasteless. Waiter friendly enough.

The tomatoes wasn't good, tasted like it was recycled and looks tired. The place was too crowded, too noisy. We asked to turn off the AC cause it was stinky and cold but they just make it stronger and colder. The waiter wasn't pleasant and not helpful at all. I waited to my dish for 10 minutes after the rest of my family got their dishes. NOT RECOMMEND AT All

Nice setting restaurant with nice view. So sorry that the food does not compliment the surroundings. Firstly bread was served without any olive oil(being close to Spain/Portugal u will expect excellence and pride in their table oil). After asking we received olive oil that was tasteless. Menu said steak and when arrival at table was chicken in white sauce that any 5 year old can re-create in their mother’s kitchen. The plate was also filled with the biggest size of rice portion ever to round out the lack of taste. Veal was undercooked.

The ambience is amazing. The decoration is beautiful. The service was nice and the food was tasty, but it was too expensive for the very little quantity. I must say that we were starving after eating in this restaurant. Again I encountered a totally different way of serving that has nothing to do with the typical north Portuguese restaurants, that serve good homemade food with a good portion and good ratio price/quantity/quality. In my opinion it's a pity that this restaurant and others nearby in this town are trying to change the trend of the good serving criteria of the north part of Portugal, by inventing a modern twist, that in my opinion, is spoiling the traditional recipes (and I risk saying, some are even changing the traditional taste) by making them in tiny portions with extremely high prices.

Wonderful place and Wonderful Personal! Obrigada!!!!

If you are looking for high quality food/meat, go here. Deserves a higher rating on Google

Tremendous ly charming family restaurant in a quiet corner of Miranda, first rate bacalao

Don't like.

(Translated by Google) A super beautiful and welcoming space. We ordered soup, a veal chop, and a chocolate mousse, all of which were delicious and perfectly cooked. We also ordered some olives and were disappointed when they served us black olives from the supermarket, when the description, and the area where the restaurant is located, led us to expect local olives. We also had some alheira sausage balls, which were good but not surprising. A suggestion for presentation: swap the bamboo board for a local wooden board. We didn't order the bread, but it was brought to us and we were charged for it anyway. I wasn't bothered by the price, but rather by the gesture. The service was attentive and attentive. They even asked about and brought a few more of the meat accompaniments that came in a small portion. Overall, it was pleasant, but there's still room for improvement to make us want to come here again. (Original) Espaço super bonito e acolhedor. Pedimos uma sopa, um costeletão de vitela e uma mousse de chocolate que estavam deliciosos e confeccionados no ponto. Pedimos também umas azeitonas e ficamos desiludidos quando nos serviram azeitonas pretas do supermercado quando na descrição, e pela zona em que o restaurante está inserido, nos fez esperar azeitonas locais. Vieram também umas bolinhas de alheira que estavam boas mas sem surpreender. Sugestão de apresentação: trocar a tábua de bambu por uma tábua de madeira nacional. O pão não pedimos mas foi-nos trazido e cobrado na mesma. Não me incomodou pelo preço, mas sim pelo gesto. O atendimento foi cuidado e atencioso. Inclusive perguntaram e trouxeram um pouco mais dos acompanhamentos da carne que vinham numa dose pequena. No geral foi agradável mas ainda há espaço para melhoramentos que nos façam querer vir cá comer de propósito.

(Translated by Google) Every time I go to Miranda, I have to go to the restaurant. I loved the food and the service! Everything was delicious, and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. (Original) Sempre que vou a Miranda tenho de ir ao restaurante. Amei a comida e o atendimento! Tudo estava delicioso e os trabalhadores todos muito simpáticos e prestativos.

Food was good not amazing, service also good although felt that It was the first day for some servers, the Atmosphere of the restaurant the looks and specially the smell were amazing

Pizza with a view!! Stunning view over the Doura River on the terrace at the back, provided the temperature is tolerable! It was quiet on the day we visited so no need for us to book, but this could be different during peak times and weekends. Staff were friendly and the food was good (salad and pizza...what could go wrong).

Everything was excellent, especially the Caprichosa pizza and the Nutella pizza. Also good words for the waiter, who was very kind.

Fantastic pizza and even better vibes. Our server Lucas was amazing, and the owner Emanuel was also great. Staff was fantastic and Lucas went above and beyond during our dinner.

Surprised with the light dough, maybe just a little too much topping but the dough was 100% on point!

The pizzas were good but strangely they do not allow additional toppings and none of the pizzas have anchovies! The tiny terrace has amazing views over the Douro but only has only room for two small tables for 2 people and impossible for lunch time dining with no shade.

Best restaurant in Town! The pizzas are great and the staff is super friendly. They even gave us lift home after dinner 😊 Would abolutely visit them again.

great spot!!! Good for cod fish cooked in many styles. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was great. Piece of advice, get there at mid day.

A must if you are in Miranda! Amazing food! Big portions, flexible menu and everything was delicious, from the bread and salad to the meat and fish, to the desserts! Good local Miranda wine as well

wonderful place for lunch or dinner at Miranda. The code is fantastic and so the meat, don’t miss it!

Great food, fast service even when the restaurant was full. One of the best Bacalhau a bras I’ve ever had, very home-made taste

The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food is exquisite!! 100% recommended!

Great place to enjoy typical Portuguese dishes. Cod (Bacalhau) is the star of the menu. We had four kinds of it: À Brás, a la Portuguesa, ao Forno and Zé do Pipo. The last one is my favourite and it was really good. However the one they really nailed is a la Portuguesa. We also tried some sirloin and it was really good too and well cooked. The portions are large so it's better to share (4 dishes for 6 is a good ratio). The service was really good too. Very kind and attentive. Dishes take time to cook so be ready for some wait. Price was really nice and the location very convenient. Overall, a very nice place to enjoy Portuguese food. I sincerely recommend it. We will be back!.

Very good food! I went with my foamily and everyone loved everything that we ordered. Staff were very kind and the portions were really good!

Good restaurant. I had the fish casserole which was very good and my friend had a BBQ beef which she likes. It was pretty quiet and perfect as right across the street from our hotel.

big plates, honest food.

We came here for lunch, hungry after our mini-cruise on the Duero. It was packed with locals but they looked after us very well and with a great sense of humour. As a group we had a set lunch with an excellent cod soufflé as a starter, followed by a tender steak with lots of fresh vegetables and all washed down with carafes of vinho verde and local red wine. Good food and good company.

Fabulous lunch on a Saturday. The manager was superb and spoke English and could not have been more helpful recommending local grilled veal and a Douro red, amazing ! Highly recommended, full by 12.45, come early

Amazing family restaurant with delicious food and great service. Family own for generations with authentic recipes. Wonderful atmosphere with multiple tables of large family groups..such a fantastic place!!

Tasty food for reasonable prices. Tbh it’s cheap and awesome. Try verde wine and any steak.

Lovely food, good atmosphere, best costumer service.

Friendly staff, easy breakfast, beautiful swimmingpool! Perfect to stay in the Region and visit beautiful Portugal!

I must confess that we were very impressed with the quality of the hotel, the room, the pool area and above all with the warm and personalized service provided by Mr. Izidro! André (the son of Mr. Isidro) organized a personalized boat trip for us on the Douro River, I confess that it was one of the most spectacular experiences we have had in a long time, something that we will dream about for many years! Highly recommended from us, 5*****

Stopped while touring by motorcycle , very friendly staff and nice food. Lovely place recommended.

The owner who served us was rude. The food was below average for the region. Won’t be coming back.

Truly an enjoyable and peaceful place for spending some time.

Regular.

Excellent restaurant

Friendly little restaurant, rustical northern Portugal cuisine. Generous portions, the veal steak is very good. We were recommended the restaurant by our accommodation host who told us the steak was excellent.

Service is fine. The waitresses are very kind. However it is the worst Bacalhau à bras I ever tasted.

Too much price for low quality food, unpleasant service. never again.

Good and generously served.

Normal

(Translated by Google) Disappointing. A local recommended it to us. We ordered sardines, three for 11 euros. Grilled lamb, five ribs with fries, 18 euros. It left us with no desire to return. (Original) Decepcionante, nos lo recomendó una persona del pueblo. Pedimos sardinas, tres sardinas 11 euros. Cordero a la brasa, 18 euros cinco chuletillas con patatas fritas. No nos dejó ganas de repetir .

The ambience was very nice, the service was professional but not as kind and nice as in other places. Our food was too expensive for the little quantity served but it was tasty. I was quite disappointed with my french fries, as they were frozen and oily. Those that know the good homemade Portuguese French fries know that what they served is not it. I think it doesn't correspond to my expectations of the typical local food and way of service, for those who know that in this region the food is served in good portions and for a very nice ratio price/quality/quantity. But I see potential to improve.

All I can say is - Outstanding!!! Wonderful local style dishes with a modern twist full of thought & flavour. Complimented with great wines from the region to your liking. A great place to enjoy the tastes of the region. Helpful service and advice to choose from a broad selection.

Amazing place to eat and have a drink. Top quality food with huge selection of wines.

very nice selection of regional dishes and tapas, everything was delicious. the service is fast and the place is decorated tastefully, a mix of modern and traditional look. the prices are very reasonable, although you might spend a bit just because you want to try everything.

Great service, good quality food and they were quick to respond. Spent a great evening there.

Lovely little place with highly competent and friendly staff who gave us great advice on wine. Tasty small dishes to go with it - we would definetely recommand a visit.

First time I go to a restaurant where the waitress is more interested in her smartphone than the clients. First time I go to a restaurant where the waitress doesn't take away the dirty dishes from the starters when bringing the main. First time I go to a restaurant where the waitress tells me she can't bring an espresso cause the machine is downstairs... still I put two stars cause the food is OK (not great!) and the wine makes the experience less painfull

The food was amazing, one of the best Francesinhas I ate. De servers are nice, it's a tradicional portuguese service wich can be seen as a bit abrupt and rude, I can tell you confidently that is just a way of being and a way of making you feel at home. About the atmosphere although it's not a fancy and cute one it is a really good tradicional portuguese restaurant atmosphere. The food was so good that we ordered some for lunch tomorrow and because they didn't have the platter to bring home the food they gave us their personal platter to bring home and asked us if we could bring it tomorrow, that`s the trust and the welcoming way of being of the portuguese people

(Translated by Google) We have gone to this restaurant since it is the most valued in Miranda de Duero. Have we gone crazy? Who has been capable of these evaluations? It is a neighborhood bar that does not even have a dining room, well yes, it does have a dining room but shared with the bar counter that advertises chips, worms and ice cream. Despite the first impression we were left believing that perhaps the reviews were referring to the food. Mistake. Of the three or four dishes they offer, we ordered two, Portuguese and French cod. After more than 30 minutes of waiting (we were alone in the place), having put on our coats because of the cold, being desperate and bored by the views of the street behind the windows, and the dirty and dry drippings that showed that the air conditioning unit was losing water, the dishes arrived. The francesiña, recommended in the reviews, error, is a sliced ​​bread sandwich that contains several layers, meat, cheese, sweet ham, chorizo, frankfurter sausage and cheese. All of this bathed in an impossible to identify sauce and on top of it a fried egg. In our case it didn't have eggs because they had run out. The fried cod was neither fu nor fa. Extraordinary fries. Impossible to eat the fracesiña. Half-baked cod. We fed ourselves on chips and ran away. The attention of the waiter and cook, the only ones who deal with the business, has been very good. Maybe we should add the age or age range in the reviews. In my case I am 67 years old and maybe at 17 I would have eaten it all, but not today. Tastes change as do our expectations. But we must know the difference between what a restaurant and a bar are. And have a rating scale in each of them since there are restaurants and restaurants, and bars and bars. Signed Jaime Ferrer (Original) Hemos ido a este restaurante ya que es el más valorado en Miranda de Duero. Nos hemos vuelto locos? Quién ha sido capaz de estas valoraciones? Se trata de un bar de barrio que no tiene ni siquiera comedor, bueno sí, comedor tiene pero compartido con la barra del bar que publicita patatas fritas, gusanitos y helados. A pesar de la primera impresión nos quedamos creyendo que quizás las valoraciones se referían a la comida. Error. De los tres o cuatro platos que ofrecen, pedimos dos, bacalao a la portuguesa y francesiña. Tras más de 30 minutos de espera (estábamos solos en el local), habernos puesto los abrigos por el frío que hacía, la desesperados y aburridos por las vistas de la calle tras los cristales, y los churretones sucios y secos que atestiguaban que el aparato de aire acondicionado perdía agua, llegaron los platos. La francesiña, recomendada en las valoraciones, error, se trata de un sándwich de pan de molde que contiene varias capas, carne, queso, jamón dulce, chorizo, salchicha de frankfur y queso. Todo ello bañado en una salsa imposible de identificar y encima un huevo frito. En nuestro caso no llevaba huevo porque se les habían acabado. El bacalao frito ni fú ni fá. Las patatas fritas extraordinarias. Imposible comerse la fracesiña. El bacalao a medias. Nos hemos alimentado a base de las patatas fritas y hemos salido corriendo. La atención del camarero y cocinera, los únicos que lidiaban con el negocio, ha dido muy buena. Quizás deberíamos añadir la edad o rango de edad en las reseñas. En mi caso tengo 67 años y a lo mejor a los 17 me lo hubiese comido todo, pero hoy no. Los gustos cambian como lo hacen nuestras expectativas. Pero debemos conocer la diferencia entre lo que es un restaurante y un bar. Y tener una escala de clasificación en cada uno de ellos ya que hay restaurantes y restaurantes, y bares y bares.

(Translated by Google) We went today 2/1/2025 and even though I booked just in case, there was enough space. As soon as we arrived they gave us bread with butter to spread and olives. We ordered a Frenchie, Portuguese-style cod and a chicken breast... Impressive. The cod was very large with potatoes and garnish, the chicken breasts with potatoes and rice, and the francesiña.... Luxurious. With a spectacular sauce.... They also brought us a plate of homemade potatoes. At dessert time they brought us two trays full of fruit and yogurts of all kinds to choose whatever we wanted. And then two coffees. We 3 people have eaten a lot and everything has been 44 euros. So we will repeat without hesitation. Furthermore, the attention of the owners has been super friendly. A place to take into account. (Original) Hemos ido hoy 1/2/2025 y a pesar de que reservé por si acaso, había suficiente sitio. Nada más llegar nos pusieron pan con mantequilla para untar y aceitunas. Pedimos una francesiña, bacalao a la portuguesa y una pechuga de pollo... Impresionante. El bacalao era tamaño bien grande con patatas y guarnición, las pechugas de pollo con patatas y arroz, y la francesiña.... De lujo. Con una salsa espectacular.... A parte nos trajeron un plato de patatas caseras. A la hora de los postres nos sacaron dos bandejas llenas de fruta y yogures de todas clases a elegir lo que quisiéramos. Y luego dos cafés. Hemos comido muchísimo 3 personas y todo han sido 44 euros. Así que repetiremos sin dudarlo. Además la atención de los dueños ha sido súper amable. Un sitio a tener en cuenta.

(Translated by Google) We went to what's supposedly the highest-rated restaurant in Miranda do Douro. Thank goodness we went to this one because I can't imagine what the others would be like. The steak was second-rate, and the cod, I wonder how I can put it. I think I defrost fish better at my local supermarket. I forgot to mention that you can browse the menu as many times as you want, as they only have three dishes. That's the only surprise the waiter gives you. Finally, it seems that payment terminals haven't arrived in this town, so you have to pay in cash. Everything cost €36. (Original) Fuimos al que se supone que es el restaurante mejor valorado de Miranda do Douro, menos mal que fuimos a este porque no me imagino cómo serían los otros. El filete era de tercera y el bacalao a ver cómo lo digo, creo que en el supermercado de mi barrio descongelo mejor un pescado. Se me ha olvidado mencionar que ya puedes mirar la carta las veces que quieras que solo tienen tres platos, es la única sorpresa que te da el camarero. Por último, parece ser que no han llegado los datáfonos a este pueblo, ya que hay que pagar en efectivo. Costó todo 36€.

(Translated by Google) The food is delicious, a small and very friendly place. They offered us franceshiña, beef steak, and cod, all delicious and at a good price, with an appetizer and great service. (Original) La comida está buenísima, sitio pequeño y muy familiar, nos han ofrecido franceshiña, filete de ternera y bacalao, todo buenísimo y a buen precio, con aperitivo y un trato estupendo

(Translated by Google) Simple place but the food is very good. As soon as you arrive you will see a blackboard with five or six typical Portuguese dishes to choose from. Inside there is also a small letter. The food is very good and abundant. Ordering one of the dishes is enough to be full but everyone knows their limits. While you wait for your food, they give you some bread and butter to spread. The owners were very friendly and asked if everything was okay. (Original) Local sencillo pero se come muy bien. Nada mas llegar veras una pizarra con cinco o seis platos tipicos portugueses para elegir. Dentro tambien hay una pequeña carta. La comida muy buena y abundante. Pidiendo uno de los platos es suficiente para estar lleno pero cada uno conoce sus limites. Mientras esperas la comida, te ponen un poco de pan con mantequilla para untar. Los dueños muy amables y preguntando si todo estaba bien.

Always greeted with love and smiles, Beta's food reminds us of our grandmothers' and mothers' cooking when we're away from home.

If you're ever in Miranda do Douro, make sure to give it a try and send us our regards. (Original) Gente acolhedora, o mais amável possivel e um exemplo de comida a ser seguido.
