This is an amazing, huge restaurant. A lot of locals rent the venue for weddings. The look of it is…read morevery authentic for northern Portugal look. They have different floors and a huge garden, don't miss the big aquarium on your way to the bathrooms. I have been there twice, and both times, the food was excellent. Be prepared to eat a lot, as the portions are enormous. Maybe it is a good idea to share plates, instead of ordering individual dishes. I don't eat meat, so I can't judge the meat, but the seafood rice I had was excellent and the grilled fish as well. Even when this place is full, it somehow sounds like in the quiet side, maybe it is because of the very thick beige rock walls. Definitely a place to try if you are in the region.

This is a great family business, they are all very friendly and with attention to detail…read more There was some locals eating what seams to be great home food, and the plates were completely full of food. If possible will be back for the complete menu!

We did some tastings in town. Tried several Portos from the Caves Ferreira and really liked their…read morePorts. The 10 and 20 Year old White Porto "Dona Antonia" are amazing. And the LBV is also worth buying. For just a sip here and there the Reserva Branco is also enjoyable. So we decided to buy a bunch of bottles here at this tasting room and shop. It's located a bit uphill behind the main cellars from Caves Ferreira where the tours are being offered. So it's not in the main building down by the main road. Bought all the Portos we enjoyed so much. Except the 20 year old white port wasn't in stock. It is a very nice, classy tasting room. Friendly, professional and helpful staff. And their portos are really delicious. And for good value. Surely we'll be buying more of their ports in the future.

Excellent food, fresh and robust flavors. The house favorite shrimp pasta dish was so flavorful --…read morethe cilantro on top was just the right addition. Tiramisu was light and creamy, with just the right amount of pop with the espresso ladyfingers. The service was stellar and on point. The place itself was small but cozy and just right. We made it just in time before the restaurant filled up. It's Great for groups and couples -- and all in between. My only complaint was the toilet seat was not connected so that was annoying. Otherwise it was a perfect night. The pasta was homemade by the way! So good!

We ordered bruschetta . It seems bruschetta in Portugal and thats the second time around we ordered it in Portugal, is melted cheese and tomato, In the US its a crostini ,fresh tomato with olive oil garlic . We ordered the gnocchi arrabbiata . The fresh tomato sauce was flavorful and delicious, the veal saltimbocca was nicely cooked and flavored . The pizza margarita dough was not a typical Italian pizza dough, good flavor but somewhat disappointing. Service was outstanding.

Breathtaking! This place was a delight to eat in. It has a beautiful stone home and walk way…read moreleading up to a huge tent where you can eat delicious meals next to the river. There is also a huge field for kids to play in and some swings. I would definitely recommend a ball to play with if you have kids. They also have high chairs! (but no changing tables, unfortunately) The food was amazing. I had the solomillo with pimienta sauce and I highly recommend it. For starters, I recommend the navajas, ensaladilla, and croquetas. The price was average but not as expensive as I would have thought. You definitely get a lot more bang for your buck the further you get from the city. Mondariz is a beautiful little town to visit after lunch and you can take a stroll down the river walk to burn some of those calories. The cheesecake was delectable.
