Casa Típica Papas Zaide - Vila Real

Wonderful meal pernil assado com vinho do Porto and great service. We booked several weeks in advance as we knew we wanted to go there while in Provesende

Great restaurant in a small, very picturesque town, high in the mountains. Amazing homemade traditional Portuguese food and wine, very affordable for a lot of food, very nice hosts, so patient to explain everything about the restaurant. Very recommended, for reservations.

Very friendly welcome. The food was good and fresh. It was part of our tour.

My boyfriend and I had dinner here just this past Thursday evening, and we thoroughly enjoyed the dinner and the ambiance. We came to the Douro after a surf trip where our instructor helped us make the reservations. The restaurant is cozy, and the Chef, Graça Montiero, is lovely. We do not speak Portuguese or French, but she was very gracious in communicating with us. When we arrived she led us to her second floor where tables were set and we had a beautiful view of the town square. She brought us bread, honey, olives, and olive oil, then shortly after cod and fish appetizers, as we had selected seafood the day prior when making the reservation. Our main dish was a very large codfish, and we tried our best to eat it all. The portion was large so we failed, but she let us take it with us to finish later. This was one of our favorite meals during our time in Portugal, and we highly recommend it for anyone in the area! Just don’t forget to call the day before and know what you want to eat : You will not be disappointed!

The service attitude was very bad. If you didn't make the reservation, you cannot eat there. There will be an 8 people group in an hour, and the host was angry and didn't want to talk with us. Taking away is not possible neither.
