Very nice terrace with nice music.We took 4 little plates to share, for two, it was exactly what we were looking for!

Donna Se is a cute restaurant very close to the Cathedral. The menu is varied and the staff is friendly. The Braga-style codfish is a good size and delicious. The mushroom pasta was also very good. Prices are reasonable.

The francesinha here is solid. Proper layers of meat, sauce has good depth but doesn&#39;t sit heavy. Fries are actual potatoes, not that frozen stuff. Portion&#39;s big enough that I didn&#39;t need anything else after. Place gets busy at lunch so you might wait a bit, but it&#39;s worth it for a proper meal.

The grilled fish was spot on and the portion nearly did me in. Flan&#39;s the move for dessert. Service was a bit all over the place though, so double-check your order before they bring it out.

The baked Brie appetizer was so creamy, definitely the highlight for me. We grabbed a table with friends and the whole retro vibe made it easy to hang out for a while. Service was super friendly too 🙂

Don&#39;t let the plain front put you off&mdash;the pizza inside is fantastic and prices are fair. Chocolate mousse to finish was a nice touch.

Came here with a couple of friends after hearing it&rsquo;s one of the older spots in Braga for francesinhas. We went for the bigger size and honestly, it was a lot of food 😅 The sauce is rich, the bread soaks it up nicely, and the meat is pretty generous. We were too full to care about dessert, which looked kinda basic anyway. Place is split into a caf&eacute; and a brewery, we sat on the brewery side. Good for a casual catch-up, nothing fancy.

The view really is the main reason to come here, and it&#39;s pretty great. Service gets a bit slow when they&#39;re packed, but that&#39;s fine if you&#39;re not in a hurry. Prices are fair for what you get. I&#39;ve been a few times now, and it&#39;s a decent spot to just sit back and relax.

The executive menu is a decent deal&mdash;soup, main, dessert, and coffee for a fair price. Portions were generous, food pretty good. Nothing fancy, but fine for a regular lunch.

The roast kid goat was genuinely good&mdash;tender, not gamey, with that smoky edge you don&#39;t get everywhere. I paired it with a glass of their house red, which worked nicely. Service was attentive without hovering. The owner stopped by to chat, which felt personal. Place was calm for a weekend, so we lingered longer than planned.

Solid spot for a quick lunch in the old town. Daily menu is a good deal, service stays efficient when busy.

Grabbed a quick bite here during lunch rush. Food came out fast, exactly what I needed. Had the grilled chicken plate, pretty solid. Place was busy but they kept things moving. Not the cheapest spot in the area, but you get what you pay for. Would stop by again if I&#39;m nearby and short on time.

Stopped by with my mum and the waiter wrote out the whole menu for us. Big portions, cheap, and the wine list was decent too.

Decent seafood spot, nothing fancy. Owner knows his stuff and was happy to chat about Portuguese dishes. Pretty good if you&#39;re in the area.

Stopped by for a quick dinner during a work trip. Got the grilled fish and rice, pretty solid. Place was busy but I got a seat fast. Price was fair for what you got. Not fancy, but it does the job. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Been coming here for a while now. Pastries are always fresh, and they never rush you out even if you&#39;re just having a coffee. Solid spot for a lazy morning.

Came here for lunch with a couple of friends and loved the veggie options 🌱 place is small but cozy. We got there right before noon and it filled up fast, so yeah, timing matters. Food was solid, nothing crazy but I&rsquo;d go back for the vibe.

The grilled turbot was plenty for two, honestly. Cooked just right, with simple sides that didn&rsquo;t overpower the fish. That&rsquo;s what I liked most&mdash;fresh, clean flavours. Good value too, for the portion. Service was friendly, nothing fancy, but fine. I&rsquo;d go back just for that dish again.

The grilled dourada was spot on, and the pudim did not disappoint. Service was quick and friendly. Solid spot for a lunch break.

The grilled fish was fresh and the portions were generous. Loved the airy, rustic setting too. Just wish the chairs were a bit more comfortable, but for the price, I can&#39;t complain.

The baguette sandwich hit different after a swim. Cold beer, sandy feet, zero fuss. Self-service, which honestly works fine here. Staff were nice, kept it chill. Gets crowded around summer lunchtime though, had to wait a bit for a seat. But that breeze right by the beach made up for it.

Been coming here for a while now. The courtyard still gets me every time&mdash;so peaceful. Veggie menu&#39;s got some real thought behind it, even my carnivore friends liked it.

Big portions, tasty seafood, and the house wine did the job. Prices felt fair for what you got. Place is a bit off the tourist trail, which I liked.

The homemade desserts are honestly the best part &mdash; we grabbed a table with friends and the waitress kept checking if we needed anything. Burgers have proper meat quality too, not like the usual spots around here. Only thing is it got a bit loud later, but for a casual hangout it works 👌

Stopped here for dinner after wandering around the old town. Got the dry-aged steak and honestly it was pretty damn good. Sat outside on the terrace, nice spot to just watch people go by. Wine list had some solid options too. Place was a bit busy but that&#39;s fine.

Found this spot on a little side street close to the main squares. We came for a late lunch with friends and honestly the picanha was cooked so well, super juicy. Portions are huge, we couldve shared honestly. Prices are really fair for what you get. Just a heads up, it gets busy around 1pm so you might wait a bit. Would come back for sure. 😊

The seating here is what got me. Chairs are actually comfortable, you can sit for a while without getting stiff. I had a coffee and just relaxed, no rush at all. Staff left me alone but checked in when needed. Place has a younger crowd but nobody minds an older lady just chilling. Decor&#39;s been updated, looks fresh. Solid spot if you want an easy, low-stress break.

This family restaurant lies very close to the river, and is was lovely to get there.Though it might be a bit pricy, we enjoyed the service and the patience dealing with our orders, and the food was amazing! The grilled whole fish was one of the best fish we ate in the area. Would definitely recommend.
