The best restaurants Aveiro

A large and beautiful typical brasserie, on the fish market square. Here you will come first and foremost for the food. Sitting at the bar or around the wooden tables, you will see the churrasco chef (the one who takes care of the grills) fussing and cutting beautiful pieces of octopus, entrecote, salmon. The grilled sardines are a marvel. In the kitchen, people are busy preparing the local specialties: fried eels, eel stew, octopus a lagareiro and arroz de marisco. It's tasty and generous. And on top of that, the owner is very friendly!

Open for 30 years, the Salpoente is installed in old renovated salt deposits, the two red houses of the edge of the canal make their effect. In spite of the gigantic space of the service room, one manages to keep a little intimacy thanks to a warm decoration. The products of the region (eels, oysters, fish of the coast, marinhoa meat...) are cooked with a lot of refinement and the traditional dishes are revisited thanks to the creativity and the dynamism of a young team. A vegetarian menu is also available. Service with the small care.

For local regulars and insiders alike, this popular central brasserie serves up some seafood and a small list of simple, inexpensive dishes. All in a humble setting with a small adjoining room that has a circular counter. Very convenient, you can eat here at any time of the day. Authentic atmosphere and no fuss. It is always a pleasure to have the chance to realize that this kind of place still exists. Warm welcome.

This restaurant seduces both by the quality of its cuisine and the quantity served, all at an unbeatable price. Moreover, the customers are not mistaken and the affluence is important, especially the weekend. The specialties are numerous: rice of miudos or cabidela (rice of poultry cooked in its blood), some say that the grilled chicken is the best of the region. But cod in cream sauce, suckling pig and stew are also delicious. Reservations are recommended.

A decent Japanese restaurant (according to Portuguese standards), adjusted to the local palette. Sushi, skewers, tempura and other dishes on the island. A good alternative to local cuisine.

A gourmet address where the inhabitants of the cru book a table to make a good meal. In the programme: seafood, monkfish or octopus (sopa do Mar, marisco açorda, tamboril arroz, lagareiro à), as well as ovos and massas. In the kitchen, we are active in the success of regional and even French recipes, in the room, dedicated and attentive service.

Japanese decoration for this small restaurant installed on the edge of a canal. The chef of Subenshi has worked in great restaurants in Porto before getting down to business: the fusion of Japanese and Portuguese gastronomy! As surprising as it may seem, the result is sumptuous and succulent! The presentation is well felt and the combination of flavors very subtle. So soon left that we already want to come back. Unusual and unmissable if you are in Aveiro! Two other addresses also in Porto.

Behind the Pingo Doce and not far from Aveiro's train station, DaTerra, a chain of vegetarian restaurants in Portugal, keeps its promises. It is a free lunch and dinner buffet based on colorful and tasty vegetarian dishes. Every day the proposals are different. In a modern canteen atmosphere, you will taste pies, cakes, stewed dishes, salads, soup of the day, tofu and seitan, etc. Juices are extra. Possibility to take away.

What a wonderful discovery in Aveiro that will delight vegetarians as well as those who don't say no to a meal without meat or fish! Very discreet, Raiz is located in a small street parallel to Moliceros Street. It offers a warm welcome and dishes based on fresh, seasonal produce. We're tempted by one of the homemade juices and the tempting dish of the day. A great option if you're feeling hungry all day long.
