Mineirao - Vila Nova de Gaia

We all took the mini radizzio which was very good, nicely and quickly served and already very big enough to be refilled after a day of visit.

Went for lunch, after I reserved on Google Maps. Was €28 for 2, including sides rice, fries, delicious beans, onion rings, fried bananas, and the closest thing to collard greens. Sausage, drumstick, and tender picanha. Attentive service, and with a bottle of rosé and dessert, came to €45. Very affordable for 2 people, and one of the best lunches I’ve had lately.

Great Price/value. Very quick service and great staff. Good quality meat. Near river, so nice view. Confortable and spacious. No wait time for nothing. Amazing lunch!

Very good meat quality, fair price for ammount and quality. Live music, very entertaining. They even sang us happy birthday. Very nice meal, good place for meat.

Tourists beware!!! We were seated and within seconds of sitting a number of items were placed at the table to eat (olives, cheese bread, etc). Seven separate items. Nothing that we ordered. When the server arrived we ordered a couple of drinks and the rodizio(all you can eat meat). When we finished they brought dessert. Again did not order it and barely touched it because we were stuffed. We then asked for the bill and to our surprise every little item that we did not ask for was charged a la carte. This wasn’t a language barrier issue because my wife speaks fluent Portuguese. I admit the food was good but unfortunately we felt like we were taken advantage of. We complained to the manager but he played stupid. Wasn’t worth the argument. I’m sure they do this to all the non locals
