It is another casino near Porto after Espinho. The location is also close to the ocean.

Fine please beach front view

I’ve only seen slot machines and blackjack in the casino a long with the roulette. Personally, I’m not a big fan of this games since I was expecting poker. For that and for the reason that there wasn’t an interesting show the night we went there, I gave it two stars.

Nice casino, a bit old-fashioned, mostly local customers, informal atmosphere, and overall it's not Las Vegas. You can definitely spend a fun couple of hours here, even if you have ten euros in your pocket.

sunset just unbelievable

It is one of the best casino in Portugal and the place is situated on the beach of Povoa Da Varzim.Moreover,the facade is too iconic and Lucrative.

Many people come here to see. In many countries of Europe visitors come to see....

Neat small fort that allows you to explore both levels. The tourist office was closed due to Covid so couldn't get any history. Several restaurants/bars inside. Be sure to find the guard's bathroom! (See my pics).

Nice view on the top and yummy restaurant's.

Google shows that it is open, the schedule says they should be open, but it was in fact closed without any information at the door.

A couple of restaurants were opened inside the fortress. There is access to the top for a great view.

Just a few shops and restaurants inside a facade of an old fort. Wouldn't go out of my way to visit peope.

I will be back to check out the base restaurant inside the castle

Super

A wonderful market! I’m so glad I made the trip from Porto. The antique market, Feira de Antiguidades, is every 3rd Sunday of the month from 9:30 - 17:00. This market had so many wonderful vendors and had more vintage items and antiquities than many other markets in the region. I got some amazing deals on some amazing items. I just wish I brought my cart so I could have bought more! Unlike the market in Maia on Sunday, there are many restaurants that are open in the area. So we made a day of antiquing, enjoying the springtime tulips in the park, and having a wonderful lunch near Praça de Republica. The closest metro stop is Santa Clara on the Póvoa de Varzim line. There are public restrooms available at the venue and are free. I’m sure as the weather gets warmer, there will be many more vendors. I’m definitely going back very soon! This review was posted February, 2025.

Absolutely a must! If you adore antiques and believe that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure then I highly suggest dropping by, held on certain Sunday’s for a complete different experience too!

The Friday market is a blast. Great deals from nice people with knowledge of their merchandise.

open on Fridays, you can find a wide variety of products, I advise you to look for cheese, chorizo ​​and other traditional, attention that the cheapest are not traditional.

A treasure of northern Portugal

The Friday fair in Vila do Conde takes place here. While small compared to Barcelos or Espino, it is still an excellent place for fresh produce, plants, cut flowers, bread, cured meats and cheeses as well as a good assortment of non-food items and clothing. Parking is usually difficult but there is an underground garage in the area that almost always has space.

The Friday and Saturday market is a good source for your weekly produce. The Friday market is the larger of the two can get clothing and household goods. Watch the prices and don't be afraid to walk away and try another vendor.

Home ground of Rio Ave FC team. Nicely maintained natural grass. Seating only one long side of the ground, 4 divisions comfortable seating. Sufficient parking available, also walkable from Vila Do conde mentro station.

Horrible visitors section. Probably found something similar than FC Bruges away stand… How is this possible?

Lovely place 😁

Yes hopefully going to this area next year just checking it out

Go Rio Ave FC 🤍💚🤍💚

Terrible when it rains. Windy days are also tough

Small but nice stadium

The food was delicious. I took menu peligrino. Really appreciate the fact of having more meet on table then rice, fries and sałat together.

Excellent food and very professional service. Mr. Luis took great care of our group of pilgrims. It’s a great place for those walking the Camino de Santiago, as it offers an excellent dining option as soon as you arrive in the city of Vila do Conde. We’ll definitely be back!

Restaurant with a large and agréable terrasse. Thé service was fast. For food we got clamares and polvo panado. Both were good in particular the polvo (octopus), it was in the right spot between tender and chewy. For main dishes, we got two dishes of the day: rabinho de bovino com purée and filetes with rice. The quality was lower here. The rice was not properly cooked. For the rabinho, the taste was ok, but there was very little to eat. I know that rabinho de bovino has a lot bone by definition, but I would expect to have more pieces. The plates was full there was room. The prices are affordable.

After having spent a good time in Vila Do Condo and it’s beaches, on our way back we stopped here for coffee. The place is very popular amongst the local people. At that time football match was on and people were enjoying it over coffee and beer. Very reasonably priced and good ambiance.

We liked all the reviews and decided to give it a try, they were wrong!!! worst meal out in Portugal, slow service, cold plates, luke warm food, complete lack of Interest from staff. TV in cafe part on football. Owner decided that second TV above where we sat should be on even though no one to watch it. Overall - never again. Use at your peril.

The cappuccino at 1.5euro is really cheap. The place is great! Good for a break

Good , affordable food. They offer a pilgrims meal for 10 euros, with soup, main course & a coffee & small drink, can't beat that.

Great experience for a japanese themed restaurant. The options extended well beyond sushi like such as delicious eel ad with the gunkan waguy being an absolute treat to end the meal prior to desert.

Delicious and very fresh Sushi and food. The ponzu sauce of the Uzuzukuri was slightly too spicy for the delicate scallops. Service friendly but a little slow. Temperature in the restaurant was too hot (it was was a very hot day though, and maybe the A/C was not strong enough. Nice location at the river and marine in Vila do Conde.

Creative fusion sushi with top-quality produce and craftsmanship. Loved the wasabi root grinding at the table to show it's pure. Nice setting, quiet and peaceful to talk.

Superb presentation, fresh fish and delicious hot selections as well. We had the Okonomiyaki de Mar and Gyoza dumplings. Unagi roll was almost too beautiful to eat! AND THE DESSERTS Service was prompt and friendly. Will surely return. OBRIGADA!

Outstanding sushi, maybe the best I had so far! Super friendly service and great environment. Became a reference to me.

Great food but the staff is not very friendly or acommodating to customers requests. We were left on our own for a while and had to fight for the waiter's attention to ask for things. It used to be a great place to go but sadly not anymore.

One of the best restaurants to enjoy Japanese food with a great view. Not cheap but very delicious! Try the sangria with exotic fruit mix and champagne!

Food is good. A good portion for 1/2 dose serves well for two people well coked and fresh cooked (grilled). Service was to slow and not very professional as the waiter was forgetting about our orders all the time which made us wait for food too long. Overall the experience was good but needs some improvements.

Good food, very busy and service a bit slow,

The food is ok, but if I could I would give 0 stars just because of the service. The waiters are very slow and you have to repeat yourself many times until they give you what you asked for. Although all of that was already a problem the cherry on top of the cake was the way the waiter treated me, it was a disrespect. I refused the desert and he said that I was right to do so because I was fat. I’m paying, I’m the costumer and I still need to hear this jokes. It’s a shame such a nice restaurant to have this kind of service.

Expensive for the quality of good.

Very good quality service and excellent food many thanks for your welcome

Food is nothing special. Waiters are not professional nor nice to foreigners.

Nice place great food go 4 it

I've walked by here many times but never walked in. More to my loss. I had lunch here and enjoyed their buffet very much. There was a very wide array of dishes to choose from, all very tasty and not salty. The buffet is a great value for what you're paying. There is no dedicated parking for the place but there is abundant street parking. I especially enjoyed their fried rice, which had a homey feel, and their chicken with mushrooms. They also serve beer, wine, and liquor.

Buffet /self service with a wide variety and selection of asian food. Lots of food for a very reasonable price. Service was great and food was quality Chinese at an affordable price considering that you have your desert Included .You can ask for different types of spices if you want.The need to focus on more vegetables. The restaurant is spacious enough to accommodate customers eating in, and at prime times when needed.Modern basic restaurant cozy interior clean and nice. located close to the beach but not that easy to find nor to park your car.If you live in the nearby neighborhood They also have take-away buffet where you can come and choose your food put it in a plastic container supplied by the restaurant. Would definitely recommend this restuarant

You get what you pay for. The quality of the food matched the price. Fair enough. Nevertheless, all the food was cold and each dish was incredibly salty. I did not dare to touch the ice cream. The freezer was very dirty. The microwave was covered in oil. Staff with dirty, unwashed clothing. I went to the bar to order some drinks and found one of the ladies filling up the jelly dessert with.... her hands. Terrible dirty place. Never again.

Great place to visit, delicious food and great service. Unfortunately, they only take credit/debit cards from Portugal.

Delicious! All crevettes and meat dishes are very tasty, the welcoming pan with fried crevettes and slices of meat is very tender and really delicious. Fruits for desert are fresh and well served. Cakes and interior could be improved a little, but it's not the main for me. For the price they have it's a perfect choice! I have no photos of this place, I was busy with food! 😉😋

Great chinese food and sushi, is an all that you can eat kind of buffet. The shrimp dishes are really good! Service is quite friendly and the place is very clean.

Great food, classy interior, great service. Is better than the outside might make you think.

The place is wonderful! It is inside nature and the atmosphere is great! The team here provides a lot of activities that are very interesting and fun. They are very organized and clean. Me and some friends that visited the park altogether had the best time here because everyone is very friendly too!

We had lots of fun on our day out doing archery and canoeing. The staff were happy to guide us through the activities and were very helpful.

The activity park had potential, but the activities themselves were too simple and lacked excitement. It would have been great to see more creativity and variety. The park was completely empty during our visit, which made it feel a bit abandoned. One of the biggest disappointments was the walk to the activities: what could have been a scenic and pleasant stroll was ruined by the smell of horse droppings scattered along the way. While the activities area itself didn’t smell, the poorly maintained path really took away from the experience. With better activities, more vibrant surroundings, and improved maintenance, this park could offer so much more.

Very nice park and staff. Lots of outdoor activities. The kids loved the paintball! This time of year (January) is not suitable to enjoy the water front activities - we may return when the weather is warmer.

Amazing experience! Very kind people. Super safe. Great option to enjoy with family, friends and pets.

Amazing park, interesting activities, friendly team and lots of cats. 10/10 would recommend going here 🥰

Staff Excellent Family and Friendly environment... Hidden place with lot's fun

Amazing that this structure still exists in such good condition.

Nice architecture.

Amazing historical location

A very long stretch of aqua duct is still existing in good condition. Although it is not a very popular destination from tourists angle yet, it is very much visible entirely during a metro ride from Porto to Povoa de Varzim.

This restaurant is the best around fantastic food and friendly staff

Amazing place to visit when come to north of Portugal.

Great historic site. Though would it be nice if they had put som information up.

The museum is small, but displays beautiful scale models of 16th century ships. The true scale 16th century ship moored in front of the museum (the Nau Quinhentista) is superb and must by all means be visited. When I checked the museum information online, after my visit, I learned that I should also have visited the nearby Casa do Barco. Unfortunately, no one at the reception gave me that information.

Nau Quinhentista in Vila do Conde refers to a specific replica of a 16th-century Portuguese ship, located in the town of Vila do Conde, in northern Portugal. Vila do Conde has a rich maritime history and was an important shipbuilding center during the Age of Discoveries. The replica serves as a cultural and educational attraction, giving visitors a glimpse into the maritime heritage of Portugal. Key points about the Nau Quinhentista in Vila do Conde include: 1. **Replica Ship**: The Nau Quinhentista in Vila do Conde is a meticulously crafted replica of a 16th-century Portuguese carrack (nau). It represents the type of ship used during the Age of Discoveries for long voyages to Africa, Asia, and the Americas. 2. **Construction and Features**: The replica showcases the design, structure, and sailing capabilities of the original ships. It includes details such as the ship's hull, masts, sails, and armament, providing a comprehensive understanding of how these ships were built and operated. 3. **Cultural and Educational Significance**: The Nau Quinhentista serves as a museum ship, offering guided tours and educational programs. Visitors can explore the ship, learn about its construction, and gain insights into the life of sailors during the Age of Discoveries. The ship is an important tool for preserving and promoting Portuguese maritime heritage. 4. **Location**: The replica is docked at the waterfront in Vila do Conde, a town known for its historical connection to shipbuilding and navigation. The town's maritime museum, Museu de Construção Naval, is also located nearby, providing additional context and historical information. 5. **Events and Activities**: The Nau Quinhentista is often part of local maritime festivals and events, celebrating Vila do Conde's seafaring traditions. These events highlight the historical significance of Portuguese exploration and the town's role in the Age of Discoveries. The Nau Quinhentista in Vila do Conde is a valuable cultural asset, offering a tangible link to Portugal's illustrious maritime past and its contributions to global exploration and trade.

In my opinion, one of the best things in Vila do Conde. The ship (which is a new one, but built exactly like an antique one) is definitely worth a visit. Even if you won't have a guide or explanation signs, the ship is very well made and makes you feel the atmosphere of the Portuguese sailors. The ticket has to be bought in the museum in front of the ship and it's just 2€ (you will also gets access to the museum)

Built in 2007 in the waters of Rio Ave, the replica of the 16th century ship, built by the shipyards Samuel & Filhos, LDA, from Vila do Conde, is an important and precious complement to the Museum Régia Museum nucleus - Museum of Shipbuilding. In addition to an important element of tourist and playful attraction, it has a pedagogical function, because, built with the greatest respect for the scientific investigations of the responsibility of Admiral Rogério D 'Oliveira, incorporates the ancestral knowledge of carpenters and calafates of the VilaConde watches.

Replica of a 1500s ship. Interesting to visit, but hard to imagine how life on the boat might have been like, because there is no labelling whatsoever. Good for kids, as they are allowed to climb the many ladders and explore every nook and cranny. Not a good option if one has any type of mobility issues. Tickets are 2€ (September 2022) and include entry to the museum.

Cost a euro each to get in and not a lot there but for a euro it was very well done and informative

Great to visit with children. The boat is beautiful and they can climb a lot of small ladders to explore it.

Beautiful church sits above the Vila do Conde market. Fantastic frescos, argoiles and stain glass windows. It is as if the building were sand blasted. For October 5th, a national holiday, we watched a very cute, traditional parade. See the video. Very proud marchers.

The construction of the Matrix of Vila do Conde was driven with the passage of King D. Manuel I by Vila do Conde, on his way to Compostela, in 1502, which in addition to a personal contribution poured taxes on the people and the nuns of Santa Clara to the construction of the new matrix. The fair of the Fair of the Fair, of December 5, 1502, gave precise instructions on how this church should be built. However, this project was widely changed with the construction of the Absidial Chapels (1507) - today dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary and SS. Sacrament. Note the construction of the portico and the influence of João de Castilho, at this time. In 1518, the date of sacred, the Church had three ships and only later acquired a cruciform projection with the construction of the transept chapels: the Holy Body or Our Lady of Boa Viagem (1542) and that of St. Miguel-O-Anjo or Our Lady of the Assumption in (1561). The Vila do Conde matrix was thus voted as a markedly Manueline space, for the maritime motifs expressed in the decoration of the portal, the chapels arcs (especially the transepto), the baptismal source and the rich decoration of the vaels of the Mor, Absidial Chapels and the transepto. The following centuries brought the enrichment from their interior. In the seventeenth century the bell tower was built. In the eighteenth century the interiors of the churches adorned with the golden carving, the result of the gold that the Portuguese removed from Brazil. The matrix was made up of thirteen gilded altaries, which today present themselves in this way: on the side of the Gospel - Lord of Bonfim, St. Anthony, Our Lady of Piedade, Our Lady of the Assumption (Chapel of the Transept), Our Lady of the Rosary ( ABSIDIAL CAPELA); On the Epistle side the altarpieces of Our Lady of Conception, souls of purgatory, Sacred Heart of Jesus, Our Lady of the Boa Viagem (transept) and Blessed Sacrament (Absidial Chapel). The Mor Chapel has a altarpiece, with throne under the panel that represents the baptism of Christ by St. John the Baptist and, below this, the image of St. John the Baptist, flanked by the images of St. Gabriel and Our Lady Mother of God. Of the eighteenth century is the pulpit and the panel of the sacristy. In the twentieth century, under the impulse of the canon mons. José Augusto Ferreira did an important work of improvement. The openings were covered by Polychromic stained glass seasons in France: the central window represents the last supper; The naves the life and death of St. John the Baptist. In 1908 the Commander Bento d'Aguiar offered the pipe organ.

Today, June 16, we celebrate the procession of Saint Sao Joao . a unique festival of vila do Conde

Worth to visit during your pilgrimage in the Caminho Portuguese.

Nice church near Vila do Conde market. I suggest the visit after you go to enjoy the view at Santa Clara monastery.

Great church with stunning energy.

Not the best acoustics, but great church. Wonderful event with CPCE as always.

One of the oldest church in town. You’ll see richness within simplicity

I loved being able to come and pray the Rosary.

A delightful little chapel in typical Portuguese architectural style. It's like stepping back in time a couple of hundred years.

One of the oldest churches in the city of Povoa de Varzim.

Beautiful. Amazing decorations

Beautiful church

Dfgh

I have very mixed feelings about restaurant. Food was fine but nothing I could remember or recommend. At least I was full, it was good, I felt satisfied and that’s it, so strong 4⭐️ received. But restaurant has one of the best locations in the city! I remember sunny afternoon near beautifully historical place, in front was the cutest fountain, tables have exactly enough shadow and waiters were friendly and welcoming for pilgrims, no matter for my dirty cloths and huge backpack. I appreciated the atmosphere so definitely can recommend everyone who is in their way to Santiago to stop here, have a lunch and enjoy the moment

Date day lunch spot. First of all, the location is fantastic. Service was amazing from the beginning till the end. The menu had many items to choose from. We shared the Vitelo and a fantastic bottle of wine. Chef Filipe & Francisco were informative & friendly. We can’t wait to dine again.

What an explosion of tastes! The freshness of ingredients, and the love to the food, and attention to recipes that the wonderful owner shared with us enhanced every bite. Great tapas bar, and an overly generous host. Food is simple, unadulterated and so good. We were there early, when it opened, so wasn't overly busy, but I imagine the atmosphere later on would be great. Well worth a visit.

Tasty food and excellent service. A little pricey for standard.

I did a review and quickly disappear. So here it goes again. All the bad reviews are not far from the True. Me and a colleague while walking to Santiago decided to have the lamb which it was reffered by the tourist office Lady. 4 pieces of Bones 3 small and one medium with barely no Meat in it. Basically 35 euros for roasted potatoes rice, some greens and bones. The person who I order from dissapear and so did the waitress at the time to pay. She barely came to the table. They even charged us 2 euros for regular (tap) water saying it was "from the machine". 2 euros for 2 pieces of old bread. I have dined all over Portugal, this is by far the worst place. Disrespectfull and dishonest. For the onwers: Every time you delete my review I will repost and in 5 diferente languages including Português as soon as I get my hands on my lap top

We arrived in Vila do Conde late, at 11 pm, after a long drive, and needed to find dinner. Despite it being not long before closing, they welcomed us in cheerfully and gave us a truly delicious meal that we loved. Excellent bread, cheese and ham, caldo verde, lamb, wine, and a glass of port to finish it off. And while the food was great, it was the genuine friendliness that made it such a great antidote to our family's tiring day.

Food was very very good! We took lamb, maturated steak & octopus. Wine also well recomended. Our waiter was nice and told us that before covif wanted to visit our country. The place in itsself is cosy and very quit.

A terrible experience, we were the first table there during lunch time 13:10, during which we ordered 2 starter and 2 main course meals. We tried to order some seafood and were told that most of them weren’t available at the moment, so we opted for the steaks. When we were choosing the side dishes, again, we where told that they don’t have chips. The starters was served at 13:20 which was quite fast, and the mushroom was pretty decent, sweet and savoury. BUT the steaks only came at 14:10!!! Keep in mind that we got to the restaurant at 13:10 and we were the first customers in the inteire restaurant!!! The steaks were too “chewy”, totally not worth the price, the sauce was quite nice. The waitress was really nice, but the whole experience was terrible.

Service was very considerate. Food was really good. The room was literally empty as we walked in, so we really couldn't ask for more. We asked for a rare steak, but they still provided a hot stone, where we could leave the steak on with some buttery musturd. Nice touch. The steak knives were very sharp (as they should be), and they also asked us to pick our own knives so they wouldn't touch them. Another nice touch. Overall, a very good experience. Nice find. Will certainly go back. 90eur for 4 people, including drinks, starters and desserts.

One of the best restaurants in the city. A friend an I went to dinner and ordered the T Bone steak and some appetizers and everything was delicious. The staff (especially Ines) was very kind and attentive. Totally recommend 💯💯

Just go somewhere else. Food is really bad. The price is over-expensive. You can eat better almost anywhere else.

Very nice place. Not big but cozy. Extremely friendly waitress and excellent, delicious and tasty food at affordable prices. Recommend.

We had a great experience at this restaurant! The customer service was excellent! the staff was friendly and very attentive. Our food arrived quickly, and we didn’t have to wait long for a table, even though it was a busy time. Most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious. Everything we ordered tasted amazing. Highly recommended!

First through the door for dinner service, very accommodating, amazing steak and wine.

Great fish and a great view

It was such a good meal! We enjoyed it very much. Thanks for this good food!

This was one of my least favorite restaurant visits, ever. You’ll have to be submitted to a system of “writing on a paper and waiting for someone to call you” this takes about 1h as it’s very unorganized and outdated. Once finally seated, the food takes another 30m to 1h per our experience and watching surroundings. About 5 waiters for 20-30 tables! Unacceptable We came at 12h and by 15h were trying to ask a waiter for the dessert menu. Food itself is OK, not worth the hassle.

Excellent 👌 more than 5 star ✨

Terrible management and service. Came with a reservation for 16 people during one of the busiest nights in the region (São João) and they have only a single grill for about 100 customers sitting outside. Waited from 19:30 to 21:30 for the first dose of grilled sardines to be served to our table (12 sardines). The frustration is palpable on the tables around us. The servants are doing their best to calm the customers down. Still super disappointing on such a special night.

I love Portugal and everything about it, however I was quite disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. I was a solo person and when I got a table a waitress removed the extra plate and the cutlery but when my started arrived (shrimps), nobody wanted to turn my plate, so I had to do it myself. The dip was bland. I got my main dish (grilled octopus). On numerous occasions I had to ask to get new cutlery because I used the first set with my starter and I couldn’t eat it just with a spoon, which was placed on the plate when I was served the dish. I was about to attempt to eat it with a spoon because I waited sooo long for a knife and fork. However, once I got the cutlery, again I was a bit disappointed because food was lacking the flavour… On numerous occasions I also asked for a napkin, as I used one for my starter, however never received one… Also I ordered a bottle of wine which was just placed on the table without pouring it into my glass… so pretty much my experience was like eating at home not at the restaurant. When I asked for a bill, I waited and waited again. Asked for a bill several waitresses when eventually one said “inside” and walked off. Inside as it’s getting ready for me or inside as I need to go inside to pay the bill??? A simple explanation- please go inside to pay the bill would have been appreciated. C’mon it’s not that difficult to be polite even with a language barrier… I know just very basic Portuguese but I wasn’t feeling comfortable when it got quite obvious that for some reason waitresses started talking about me… Overall, I think that all customers deserve the best quality of services.

Great food, friendly staff ,good service

I went there twice. This is kinda of an expensive place but you understand more clearly where your money is going. The whole place is very comfortable, with nice chairs and sofas, and tables well spaced between each other. Provides you with a cozy and private evening. All the food is excellent. But not the kind of small gourmet, small dishes. Instead, proper sized dishes that warm you inside and leaves you wishing you had a bigger stomach. I feel this is the case for meat and fish dishes alike. We were also at the bar for some cocktails before dinner. They seem to have a wide variety of drinks and the person doing them seemed to know what they were doing. We enjoyed them very much. The whole service is professional, not intrusive, quick, and make you feel comfortable. We ate several dishes there, but I’ll choose to criticise one dessert: the tiramisu. I don’t like it. It is kinda of a re-invention with a different kind of biscuits and forest fruits sauce on top. There is no coffee flavour. The biscuit is denser. I don’t know if it is categorically worse or this is just my expectation from a traditional tiramisu. Either way, I don’t like it and I feel that, if one is doing a version of such a widely known dessert, it has to be substantially better. Nonetheless, I hope I have the opportunity to return there many more times!

It was nice experience. Food was great!

My favorite place. Every time I go back home, I gather all family for a great Saturday lunch experience. I recommend the wagyu tacos and the wellington. Their meats menu are all tasty.

Interesting interior, quite dark. Looks as if you're entering a Russian mafia dungeon. All black and gold. If that's not really your thing, upstairs they have a white restaurant. All white and gold. We entered the establishment and it was barely empty, playing football on a gigantic screen. The service is poor. The Maître d' will not greet you. He will come to the table and ask for what you want. We ordered a variety of sushi and sashimi, when we questioned the types of fish between the prive and the standard, he didn't really know how to explain. It was a "house thing". They served Voss sparkling water but they only have small bottles. We stayed with cocktails for the night, and funny enough, the bartender was the nicest of the staff. The food is quite a show as they use dry ice to create a smoky effect. Overall the food is not amazing for the price tag. Not worth the trip of 15kms from Porto city centre.

This was the best sushi I ate in Portugal! so so good! you have a lot of options to choose! it's a bit expensive,, but it worth it! Desssert was amazing!

Today was my most disappointing experience here! If a restaurant just raises its prices but does not improve its service attitude! Then it is doomed to fail!

Looks nicer on the photos than in real life. We thought it would be a fancy fine dining place but it looks somewhat cheap in real life and has more of a club feeling. We had some language issues as none of the waiters understood English very well and they don’t have an English menu. Don’t know if that was due to the language barrier but we got the wrong dishes. Food was okay though.

Interesting building that stands out and is worth a look at

Beautiful baroque church, several altars richly decorated. There is also concerts during the music festival (Festival Internacional de Música da Póvoa de Varzim).

Daily Mass at 19:00, their choir awesome; beautiful church, loved the service and the community participation.

Beautiful church.

Very beautiful

TOP

Super

Very nice museum, it shows the history of the city, the meaning of the symbols that are around the city. National costumes, a very vivid display of the development of the city. Friendly staff who will accompany you around the museum and further explain their history. recommend a visit if you are nearby.

Lovely museum showcasing the history and culture of Póvoa de Varzim. Enjoyed the Nativity exposition.

Worth a visit. My first visit was in 1972

Very nice museum, In some rooms shows a mix of historical and contemporary exhibitions, it also explores the social, cultural and political makeup from the old times. It also celebrates the colourful, artistic history of the idyllic fishing town in which it sits. Very good, thank you ❤️

A small but interesting museum about the history of Póvoa de Varzim. They have different special exhibitions all over the year. it´s located quite in the middle f the city, so you can combine it with different kind of trips. Some other attractions are also near.

about a 30 minute walk around. you can see the history of the town a good stop to get a better understanding of the town.

Fantastic, quick way to find out about local heritage. Very well organised, need to have descriptions in English.

awesome church, built in the last century as grace of Nª Senhora dos Navegantes protectore of fisherman people. Built as a Boat architeture in the front of the sea.

Interesting design, something to check if you're near by

This unusual Catholic church is shaped like a boat.

Very nice service obviously delivered in Portuguese.

Nice church closest to the beach!

A nice church to sit and contemplate.

Beautiful place

Well designed and thought out history of the town and its inhabitants set in an historic building with a modern annex and pleasant grounds. There were plenty of information boards and videos but unfortunately for my limited knowledge of the language, only in Portuguese.

A cool little park with a very calm atmosphere. Many interesting events take place, but there’s no crowd. Everything feels very homely and nice.

Amazing gardens with a lot of space for the kids to play.

Fascinating and well-constructed exhibition on Vila de Conde from stone age to recently. Also an art exhibition and a couple of rooms set as they would have been as a villa. Unfortunately all in Portuguese with no other languages at all. This needs to be addressed if they want visitors from other countries.

Good 😊😊

Les expositions sont bien organisées, interactives et permettent de comprendre l’évolution culturelle et sociale de Vila do Conde à travers les siècles. Une visite enrichissante pour petits et grands, parfaite pour compléter une balade dans le centre historique.

My partner is a textile artist, so this was an essential place to visit. It was only €2 for entrance. The lady at reception was very welcoming. The documentary footage was good. There were lots of examples of work on display. However, the highlights were the Guinness World Record bobbin lace piece, and seeing someone working on some bobbin lace in person. A short but nice visit!

Nice museum. Consider visiting only if you have free time in Vila do Conde. It only costs 2€ and during the week you will find real artisans at work. I visited the museum in Sunday and there was no one. The presence of the workers can surely make this place interesting, otherwise it is not a must-see attraction.

Small but beautiful and superfriendly

Beautiful ☺️

Fantastic

Lovely place.

(Translated by Google) I really liked the museum! All exhibits are displayed very competently, interestingly and with love for the work. I would especially like to mention the museum employee - she was very friendly, happily answered questions and created a pleasant atmosphere. Entrance is only 2€. (Original) Музей мне очень понравился! Все экспонаты выставлены очень грамотно, интересно и с любовью к делу. Особенно хочу отметить сотрудника музея — она была очень приветлива, с радостью отвечала на вопросы и создавала приятную атмосферу. Вход всего 2€.

Brilliant quality & choice & atmosphere - highly recommend !

Unfortunately I cannot completely agree with the positive reviews. When we visited, food ranged from ok (stewed pork) to completely void of any taste and suspiciously looking like straight from the freezer section (calamari). Dishes that were obviously homemade and prepared to order (sauteed vegetables) were good. Prices are low, and maybe we were just unlucky with the dishes we chose, but I would not go back.

Fantastic food, great service. Highly recommended!

Good food and good service. Nice portions. I highly recommend it.

The food and service was great! Really good portions too.

Relíquia is one of those places where once you go, you'll want to return. Been going there for over a decade and it never fails! Good traditional Portuguese petiscos and Spanish like dishes.

The food is good. The decoration is typical Portuguese. Nice place to dinner with friends :)

Great Scott, how we was treated! Fast and frendly service, great food for tired and hungry pilgrims. Are you hungy? Wanna taste some sweet meat AND houses own wine? What are you waiting for?

Very good. The waitress spoke great English and welcomed me like a local. I paid 8€ for a bottled water, soup, entree, and it came with an espresso. I was doing my Camino de Santiago and this meal gave me the energy to finish the last 2 hours. Thank you so much.

Delightful experience at Casa Venceslau! The waiter was incredibly warm and made us feel right at home. The veal steak was cooked to perfection, and the Vinho Verde was an excellent complement to the meal. Highly recommend for a cozy dining experience with top-notch food and service.

Quite simply the best meal in the last six months. I had mushrooms with veggies, spectacular. Really good. The wine is the family's own, again most excellent, my only regret, I wish I had come here for lunch as well 😄. Do yourself a favour have a meal here.

Lovely tasty traditional food and friendly service. Great if you’re staying at the adjacent hotel and you’ve been walking all day!

Delicious food and wine, and friendly service. Exactly what we needed after a day exploring town on foot. Much more affordable than resturants in the touristy areas, and frequented by locals - always a good sign. Highly recommend 👌

Wonderful family run restaurant and hotel. Excellent customer service, generous food at an affordable price. Delicious in house wine, as well as clean and convenient hotel rooms. I would recommend this place for any Pilgrim on the Camino as it is near our route and would more than fulfill your needs for rest and recovery from a long days walk.

Very delicious food and friendly staff 🥰

Nice food but bad service

(Translated by Google) It's incredible how often I pass by and only a few days ago we decided to visit. We did it in good time. We ordered cod with cornbread (one of the house's favorite dishes) and picanha. Both sublime. A short but robust wine list and excellent service in a spacious, sober space with correct spacing between tables. The price was fair for the experience and quality of what we ate. I recommend. Naturally I will come back to check if the executive menu stands out this week. (Original) Incrível como frequentemente passo em frente e só há alguns dias resolvemos visitar. Em boa hora o fizemos. Pedimos bacalhau com broa (um dos ex livros da casa) e picanha. Ambos sublimes. Uma carta de vinhos curta mas robusta e um serviço excelente com uma casa ampla, sóbria e com um correcto espaçamento entre mesas. O preço foi justo para a experiência e qualidade do que comemos. Recomendo. Naturalmente irei voltar para validar se a semana, o menu executivo se destaca

(Translated by Google) The garlic prawns were full of flavor, the perfectly prepared octopus looked like butter and the apple crumble for dessert was the perfect ending. Congratulations to the boss and the service. (Original) As gambas ao alho cheias de sabor, o polvo preparado na perfeição parecia manteiga e o crumble de maçã de sobremesa foi o final perfeito. Parabéns à chefe e ao serviço.

(Translated by Google) Excellent restaurant, from the entrance, to the exit, everything that came to the table was divine, to repeat, room improvement (Original) Restaurante excelente,desde a entrada ,,a saída , tudo o que veio para a mesa ,estava divinal ,a repetir, melhoramento de sala

(Translated by Google) Pleasant atmosphere, tasty food, average price, friendly and patient staff. I'll be back to try other dishes. (Original) Ambiente agradável, comida saborosa, preço médio, funcionária simpática e paciente. Hei-de voltar para experimentar outros pratos.

(Translated by Google) Besides the excellent food, the atmosphere is very pleasant. The staff are very attentive. One of the best restaurants in Vila do Conde! (Original) Além da comida excelente que nos apresentam tem um ambiente muito agradável.Os funcionários são bastante atenciosos. Um dos melhores restaurantes em Vila do Conde!

Staff behaviour so good and good so tasty when any buddy come to visit Vila do Conde come this resturant and enjoy meal 🥘 with some famouse food in this resturant

I’ve tried quite some francesinhas in Northern Portugal and the one at Eusébios is definitely one of my favourites, perhaps even my absolute favorite. Service is Nice and entrances or desserts are also quite good. Only problem: it is always full, most of the time you have to wait very long to get a table.

7th September 2025 2nd visit Very bad manners by staff Soup came cold TWICE Francesinha came without linguiça and with a weird patty. The employee argued with us, and lied to us, told us that they made a new soup, but the soup came with the croutons that were completely soft.. Plates were broken on the edges.. the business was booming, i dont know if the boss is absent or what but cannot recommend to anybody.. 1st review Photos from the 1st time we came Good francesinha but lacks of sympathy by some employees.

Simply one of the best Francesinhas ever in Portugal. Sauce is slightly more sweet than what I prefer, but the steak is very good and cooked the way you want, not to mention the passion fruit sangria that is incredible.

Great food, friendly service! The prices are lower than in Porto, but a bit more expensive then other places around. Expect slower service in rush hours!

I had a great experience at this restaurant!! I highly recommend getting steak and francesinha ☺️. Environment is very spacious and fancy, staff is nice.. Also it’s pretty affordable! 10/10!

The restaurant was very good, the food was great, friendly people... but speak on english was challenging.

Beautiful view, historical place, very nice, helpful staff. Great breakfast. We really enjoyed our stay over there despite one night there. We will try to come back next year for longer.

The church and the monastery are closed to the public, they are building a five star hotel or something like that. It's a pity since the church from outside is stunning and so is the aqueduct. Nice view of the city, worth coming even if the church it's not visitable.

Top of the bill hotel in a historic monastery for Saint Clara. Incredible historical atmosphere, impeccably restored. Modern rooms that are beautifully equipped. Excellent breakfast and food. If you want to enjoy luxury, views of the bay and the incredible 14th century church and 16th century aquaduct, this is the place to go

This building is really massive and you can see its really old. I have just seen it from outside and it took my attention for 15 mins. Now id you are able to, see it and find some time to check it out. And there is a bridge wir a river that goes into the see.

700 years old church, a must see , avoid visits on weekends, its closed.

Very nice location with a good view.

Splendid monument of Portuguese medieval culture and architecture of XIV century. You are going to find the tomb of Royal Prince inside of that church. Admission is free but any donation is welcomed and highly appreciated. Visitors are allowed to take non commercial photo without flash light.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place. (Original) Belo local.

Nice house, nothing incredible if you don't know something about the author. It only costs 2€ but I didnt receive any guide and the guardian just opened the rooms for me. Worth visiting only if you are in Vila do Conde and have free time

(Translated by Google) I didn't even get to go in! The website states the opening and closing times but it doesn't mention that if a group with a prior reservation is visiting the space, no one else can enjoy the visit, and the house simply closes to that group. Simply unacceptable. I came from Lisbon specifically to visit this space and I couldn't do it. The man at reception was absolutely rude and they don't even have postcards for sale so that people can take home a souvenir. Terrible cultural management. I'm very disappointed. I rate it less than zero. (Original) Nem sequer cheguei a entrar! No site está descrita a hora de abertura e fecho mas não menciona o facto de, se algum grupo com marcação prévia estiver a visitar o espaço, mais ninguém pode usufruir da visita, por e simplesmente a casa fecha para esse grupo. Simplesmente inaceitável. Fui de Lisboa de propósito para visitar este espaço e não pude fazê-lo. O senhor da recepção foi absolutamente rude e nem sequer uns postais têm à venda para uma pessoa levar uma recordação. Péssima gestão cultural. Estou muito desiludida. Avalio a menos de zero.

(Translated by Google) For the building and its valuable contents, I would give it 4/5 stars. For the employee who gave us a guided tour in sprint style, opening the front door when we reached the end and inviting us (literally) to leave, I give it one star. Therefore, summarizing the results, I give it three stars. This is to say that Casa José Régio deserves much, much better. If you are not capable of giving “normal” guided tours, let visitors see the place at their leisure. If it is for security reasons, you can always ask them to leave their backpacks and cell phones at the entrance. Isn’t that possible? Find another solution. This is not the way it should be, gentlemen. Please review this. (Original) Pelo edifício e o seu valioso recheio, daria 4/5 estrelas. Pelo funcionário que fez a visita guiada em estilo sprint, abrindo a porta da rua quando chegámos ao fim e convidando-nos (literalmente) a sair, dou uma estrela. Por conseguinte, fazendo sumariamente a média, dou três estrelas. Isto para dizer que a Casa José Régio merece muito, muito melhor. Se não têm capacidade para conduzir visitas guiadas «normais», deixem os visitantes ver o espaço à sua vontade. Se é por questões de segurança, podem sempre pedir-lhes que deixem ficar à entrada as mochilas e os telemóveis. Não dá? Arranjem outra solução. Assim é que não pode ser, meus senhores. Revejam lá isso, por favor.

(Translated by Google) Free visit on Sunday. The guide was rushed and unfriendly. The house museum is worth a visit. (Original) Visita gratuita efetuada ao domingo. O trabalho prestado pelo guia foi apressado e pouco simpático. A casa museu merece ser visitada.

(Translated by Google) Great exhibition on how to make a wooden ship step by step.

(Translated by Google) I recommend a visit; despite its size, the interior is surprising. It has replicas and photographic records of shipyards. It has an exhibition of tools used in shipbuilding, as well as technical drawings with measurements...very interesting. (Original) Aconselho uma visita, apesar do tamanho, surpreende por dentro. Tem réplicas e registos fotográficos dos estaleiros navais. Tem exposição de ferramentas usadas na construção naval, assim como desenhos técnicos com medidas...muito interessante

(Original) Es un edificio muy bien situado, dividido en dos niveles, la parte de arriba con información turística, y la de abajo con información sobre la construcción naval con maquetas de los oficios y pequeñas reproducciones de barcos de la zona

The Régia Customs Building - Naval Construction Museum is located at Rua Cais da Alfândega, in the heart of Vila do Conde, where the Vila -Conde  Naval Shipyards once worked. In the fifteenth century, the heyday of maritime trade caused a growing movement in the ports of the kingdom, to which the port of Vila do Conde is no exception. Thus, in this context D. João II, by letter of February 27, 1487, created the royal customs of Vila do Conde. The building suffered, throughout the eighteenth century, successive extensions to conform the needs dictated by the intense commercial traffic that was then felt. Over the course of the twentieth century, the building went into a degradation process, having supported the services of the Tax Guard and warehouses affected to shipbuilding shipyards. In 2001, the result of the Vila-Condense candidacy “Rosa dos Ventos” to the Urban Pilot Project, was fully rehabilitated and converted into museum space. The permanent exhibition patent to the public, assumes three strands, which translate the function of the museum: Portuguese navigation, namely the one that originates and destination in Vila do Conde; the history of the royal customs and its functioning, officers and out -of -finished products; The history of shipbuilding, types of boats built in Vila do Conde and its constructive processes.

(Translated by Google) Very detailed museum about Vila do Conde and its connection to the sea and wooden shipbuilding. (Original) Museu muito pormenorizado sobre Vila do Conde e a sua ligação ao mar e à construção naval em madeira.

(Translated by Google) Cool museum. The ticket price is low - 2 euros, the ship was closed due to rain. I recommend coming here on a sunny day when it wasn't raining. There is also a problem with subtitles, everything is in Portuguese, there are no English subtitles (Original) Fajne muzeum. Jest małe cena biletu to 2 euro statek akurat był zamknięty przez opady deszczu. Polecam tu przyjechać w słoneczny dzień kiedy nie padał deszcz. Jest też problem z napisami, wszystko jest po portugalsku niema angielskich napisów

(Translated by Google) Beautiful museum and above all a great visit to the Galeote where you can enter and visit its rooms, wine cellar, cabins, bow and stern, very well decorated for only €2 and with all the time available. It is very worth it and you should not miss it, especially if you have children. (Original) Precioso museo y sobre todo gran visita al Galeote donde puedes entrar y visitar sus estancias, bodega, camarotes, proa y popa, muy bien ambientado por solamente 2€ y con todo el tiempo disponible.

(Translated by Google) The construction of the church began around 1502, after the authorization of King Manuel I to build a new parish church in Azurara to replace the small Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Presentation; From this original building the image of the Virgin survives integrated into a niche in the upper part of the Portal. Construction is essentially completed c. 1522, with the completion of the presbytery; the bell tower is later, from the end of the 17th century (Original) La construcción de la iglesia se inició hacia 1502, tras la autorización del rey Manuel I para construir una nueva iglesia parroquial en Azurara en sustitución de la pequeña Capilla de Nossa Senhora da Presentation; de este original edificio sobrevive la imagen de la Virgen integrada en una hornacina en la parte superior del Portal . La construcción está esencialmente terminada c. 1522, con la terminación del presbiterio ; el campanario es posterior, de finales del siglo XVII

(Translated by Google) Manueline church... very beautiful... in need of restoration inside. But I recommend a visit. (Original) Igreja Manuelina... muito linda... a precisar de restauro no seu interior. Mas recomendo a visita

(Translated by Google) As in Vila do Conde, the Azurenses also took advantage of King Manuel I's visit to Santiago de Compostela in 1502 to tell him about their intention to build a parish church and ask for royal support. The new church was built next to the previous Chapel of Our Lady of the Presentation and was dedicated to Saint Mary the New (Our Lady of the Milk). The result was a large temple, set in a spacious courtyard facing the sea. The main façade is divided into three parts, revealing the internal structure, with the left side marked by a bell tower with double windows, with the openings divided into an axis consisting of a rounded portal with Manueline decoration and a rose window. The portal has a round arch, resting on a thin column on bases of logs and scottish beams, with a rounded archivolt, surrounded by a concave archivolt. Flanked vertically by columns with spiral beams, supported by a profusely decorated architrave. At the top of this portal, starting from both columns, there is a depressed arch, formed by overlapping logs, and in the centre there is a niche containing the sculpture of Our Lady of the Presentation, from the old church. The bell tower was built in the 17th century, and has a similar configuration to that of the Vila do Conde Parish Church, built in the same period. The top of the frontispiece is original, with a small semicircular pediment, partially covered with ceramic plates, flanked by two armillary spheres. The main chapel (1552) has a rectangular plan, with a ribbed cross vault, with the symbols of King Manuel I (armillary sphere and crosses of Christ) on the vaults' ends. It was designed and built by Gonçalo Lopes o Velho in 1552. The altarpiece is in gilded wood by Francisco Machado, with fine sculptures of St. Peter and St. Paul. The tiles from 1737 by António Vital Rifarto depict the washing of the feet and the Last Supper. The nave is made up of three naves covered with wooden beams and tiles, divided into 5 sections of round arches, supported by octagonal pillars with alternating faces of two widths. Two rope-shaped rings surround the columns, at half height and next to the capitals, decorated with plant motifs. (Original) Tal como em Vila do Conde, também os azurenses aproveitaram a passagem do Rei D.Manuel I para Santiago de Compostela, em 1502, para lhe falarem da pretensão de construir uma igreja paroquial e lhe pedirem a comparticipação régia. A nova igreja foi levantada junto da anterior Capela de Nossa Sra. da Apresentação, e foi dedicada a Santa Maria a Nova (Nª Srª do Leite). Resultou num templo de grandes dimensões, inserido num terreiro desafogado voltado para o mar. Fachada principal tripartida, revelando a estrutura interna, com o lado esquerdo marcado por torre sineira de dupla ventana, tendo os vãos rasgados em eixo composto por portal de volta perfeita, de decoração manuelina, e por rosácea. O portal em arco de volta perfeita, assente em fino colunelo, sobre bases de toros e escócias, com arquivolta boleada, envolvido por arquivolta côncava.Ladeado verticalmente por colunas de feixes espiralados, travadas por uma arquitrave profusamente decorada. No topo deste portal, partindo da ambas as colunas , um arco abatido, formado por troncos sobrepostos, e ao centro um nicho onde se encontra a escultura da Nª Srª da Apresentação, da antiga igreja. A torre sineira foi levantada no século XVII, e apresenta uma configuração semelhante à da Matriz de Vila do Conde construida na mesma época. Original é o topo do frontispicio com um pequeno frontão semicircular, parcialmente revestido com placas cerâmicas ladeado por duas esferas armilares. Capela mor (1552) de planta rectangular, com abóbada de cruzaria nervurada, com os simbolos do Rei D.Manuel I (Esfera armilar e Cruzes de Cristo) nos fechos das abóbadas. Foi concebida e construida por Gonçalo Lopes o Velho em 1552. Retábulo em talha dourada, de autoria de Francisco Machado, com boas esculturas de S.Pedro e S.Paulo. Os azulejos de 1737 de António Vital Rifarto, com a representação de um Lava-pés e uma Última Ceia. A nave é constituida por três naves cobertas com travejamento de madeira e telha, divididas em 5 tramos de arcos de volta perfeita, apoiados em pilares oitavados de faces alternadas de duas larguras. Dois anéis em forma de corda envolvem as colunas, a meia altura e junto aos capiteis, decorados com motivos vegetais.

(Translated by Google) Construction began in the 16th century. The Manueline style predominates in its construction. From a previous chapel in this same place, the image of the Virgin survives, located in a visible niche in the upper part of the main entrance portico. It requires some maintenance work to clean the fungus visible on its exterior. (Original) Início de construção remonta ao séc XVI. Predomina o estilo Manuelino na sua construção.

During my trip to Portugal,I had a wonderful and unforgettable experience at this restaurant. 🤩 The atmosphere was warm, friendly, and homely, and I’m really glad I spent my time there.🌹

Excellent food and service. The restaurant felt very homely. The menu was in Portuguese, but staff were on standby to translate and make recommendations. We would most certainly recommend this restaurant.

We had a fantastic 3 course meal here - very reasonably priced too It’s an amazing small family run restaurant - the staff are super friendly and helpful too - wonderful atmosphere The restaurant started off as a bar 71 years ago and is still been run by the same family 👍😊😊 Lots of fresh fish to choose from too Four of us shared Turbot,John Dory and Dorada with lovely salad and tomato rice The fresh fish was amazing - prepared by a chef who treats the wonderful produce with respect The starter of roe soup was delicious too Homemade desserts to finish !! I had pudding ( crème caramel ) - delicious All washed down with some white house wine It was a truly memorable meal and it was our friends’ 25th wedding anniversary too

The seabass rice tasted wonderful, very fresh fish and no artificial flavors; and the grilled bream was so fresh that it seemed it had been fished out the ocean at that moment. We finished our meal with some delicious red berry cheesecake and some egg pudding. The restaurant was quite busy when we arrived and had to wait for a table for about 10min. Staff were always rushing and running around, both indoors, as well as outside, but service to our table was very friendly and helpful.

A trully gem; Amazing grilled fish and octopus, super fresh and delicious, combined with great service and very hospitable atmosphere. Many thanks and hope to be back soon.

Excellent!! The food quality is top. Great service and very nice atmosphere.

Man, this restaurant filled up quickly! Delicious, warm, filling food (turbot, bacalhau fritters, and a dish with cod eggs). Very kind staff here. Oh and the wine :)

Best francezinha in town. If you want to try the famous Francezinha dish, this is the place to go. This is m home town and I can guarantee you will have a great meal. Staff is friendly, gives recommendations and the food is delicious. My recommendation: Ask for a “pica pau “ this is the normal Francezinha city into little pieces perfect for a starter. Then for main askdoe the Francezinha especial a Mestre (the house Francezinha) with extra sauce (extra molho). You will not be disappointed. Try their variety of sangria. A fresh compliment to the meal itself.

Truly wonderful dining experience. The food was plentiful and really great tasting. The service was quick and efficient. The wait to get a table can be long because you can’t reserve a table but if the queues are any indication of why this restaurant has the reputation ‘the best’ Francesinha in Porto, then it’s absolutely right!

Well, i am vegetarian and i live in Porto. Had veg Francesinha multiple places in Porto, but i guess this is the place where my find for the best Vegetarian Francesinha ends. Highly recommendable 👌👌

Amazing dining experience. Everything about this restaurant was great. The food was really good, especially their popular fransesinha dish. Wide variety of options on the menu. Large restaurant with excellent decor. I would highly recommend booking a table beforehand as this is a very popular place and their is a long waiting list for a table. Waiters were very good and friendly. A must visit when in Vila do Conde.

Great service, lots of options and a very good menu with everything listed out. Food was great!

Fantastic food in Vila do Conde. We were greeted by a warm and friendly host who spoke great English and was really accommodating when I explained I had dietary restrictions being pregnant. We came for lunch a few days later too. Both times were excellent and we enjoyed our meal very much.

Warning, if you ask for extra plates or cutlery to share food, you will be charged for them! We found this ridiculous.

Terrible experience. We used to be loyal customers, but something has changed over the past months, and not for the better. The food is now served in baskets, with ingredients pre-weighed and ready for sandwiches, which feels impersonal and unappetizing. The biggest issue, however, is the poor prioritization of in-store customers. At around 15:00, we were the only customers, yet the staff seemed more focused on fulfilling Uber and Glovo orders. One employee was sitting at a table eating while still in uniform and wearing a hair cover—this felt unprofessional and uncomfortable for everyone involved. Adding to the disappointment, the cleanliness was appalling. Every table inside was dirty, and the outside seating area was even worse. Trash, including a discarded cigarette box, was left on tables and under them. When an employee finally went to “clean,” they simply pushed the cigarette box to the ground with the other debris, leaving it there. To make matters worse, the ingredients no longer seem as fresh as they used to. My advice: don’t waste your time here. The standards have clearly dropped, and this place is no longer worth visiting.

Subway to much good healthy and 🤤 so visit this place any try it ❤️⭐️

The staff is very friendly and service is quick and effective. They don’t slack around and are attentive to their customers. The place is pretty clean and organised, it’s usually pretty busy during lunchtime everyday.

Excellent place to go and have a quick bite to eat 😋

cute place but dirty!!!! the washrooms were super dirty covered in so many flies!!!! Please clean your washrooms and sweep your floors!!!!!
