Restaurante Residencial Maria Do Carmo

One of my favorite restaurants ever. The food is so delicious. Homemade quality with great Portuguese traditions. We go at least twice when we're in town.

Was recommended this restaurant from the owner of our hostelry. Not the best we have experienced in Vila Real. Food good, however, plates hot but the main dish of squid/calamari was cold !! Prices very reasonable but, once been, would not go rushing back. Tip of the day: go early; around 19hrs30 local time as very soon it gets so noisy that you cannot hear yourself think, let alone hold a rational conversation at your table. Sorry to be so negative but cannot talk/hear at the same decibel level as the local Portuguese. Obviously very popular with this city's inhabitants.

This was a party of eleven and we all enjoyed an excellent meal and friendly service.Portions were generous and the speciality was codfish.We should have realised but it was probably best to share starters.Located in a quiet area this would be ideal for business or pleasure.
