Cantinho Do Fadista - Guimarães

We had the fish menu, fresh prawns then cockles in an amazing broth followed by freshly grilled fish with a simple salad dressed with the best olive oil we have ever tasted. The people who served you also cooked the food and were very welcoming with a real passion for the food they were serving, amazing experience and definitely will return, thank you!

Amazing place! And I say this as someone who lived in this city all my life. Definitely recommend ;

Nothing fancy, other than the great flavours from the formidable lady in the kitchen. Try the beef. Try the fish. Try not to miss this family-run gem!

I was taken to this restaurant by our local friends, as they know that I like to try the local cuisine, and it was really different, we ate like tapas and it seemed that the variety never finished and one dish was better than the other and no food tasted bad or strange, I just kept on eating. We finished the meal with a local dessert, sponge cake with meringue and it felt very light, but when I had the second helping, I just could't finish it. I was told this is the place to go when in Guimareas.

The fact that this restaurant is popular with the local residents says it all. Beautifully fresh regional ingredients are used to create tasty dishes. The knowledgable staff are friendly and efficient. The best meal I had on my trip.
