    Restaurant Veladou

    Busy and friendly service, food is comfort Portuguese food, and ambiance is rustic feeling with all the wooden table and furnishing.

    Grilled salmon loin and roasted potatoes were perfection!

    Our party of four was beyond delighted by this little hidden gem in this port city of Portugal! Our dining experience was excellent from the moment we entered this venue! Every bite was a taste treat!

    Lemon Tart with Mango and Peach ice cream on a mount of graham cracker shavings.  So good.

    We didn't have dinner reservations in the region, and pushed our luck at this restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised, got there right at 7:30 pm (opening time) were seated immediately. The food is excellent, the wine list is extensive and the servers are attentive and fast. I ordered Picanha (Steak) and my wife and daughter ordered the Salmon. All were delicious yet simple. All dishes were served with small boiled potatoes and a large side salad to share.

    Delicious wine!

    Excellent wine and food - Service was friendly and knowledgeable- gave us great suggestions for wines. SO good - one of the best meals I've had in Portugal, and I've been on a food and wine cruise. Excellent and fun experience!

    Maybe it's because it's Sunday..... didn't have a great experience at this place. The location is great, and the place is nice enough, although somewhat simple for the prices they command. The staff is very friendly, and try their best to understand a bit of English. The house white wine was fine - no need to experiment with anything else. But, the food leaves a lot to be desired. Had Parma ham as a starter, and what I got was a slate of sweating cured ham (was never prosciutto di Parma). If they really did grill my sea bass main course, and the accompanying very very very baked halved potatos, it's a mystery to me how all the food was on the cold side of luke warm... fish was ok - not great, but not bad. My traditional cheese dessert (the unpronounceable spoonable one) was probably very good. However, seeing how my palate is accustomed to cheese with a bite, it came across as a bit boring. My bad. The glass of tawny they served with the cheese was very enjoyable. All in all - was ok, but will not return, if I return to the area.

    Fish!

    The star was the black pork, which definitely was enough for two to split.

English a bit off but I appreciate that he is really trying. A lot better than my Portuguese. The fish steak was so so. It had good flavoring but I really wanted a more quality fish. I like that I was able to add a salad. I had a delicious coffee and pineapple soda which the waiter thought it was a sparkling drink as a translation. Somewhat similar but not quite the same. Coffee was very on-point and Porto Wine cake had a homey feel and was satisfyingly tasteful. I declined the bread since there is bread everywhere and I don't want too many carbohydrates. It probably cost extra. I tried to confirm with the waiter but I don't think he understood this nuance. He was also serving so many people with only one other person and this person was naturally better at serving more people at once than the other person but they both seemed very kind. On my way back to the hotel, I noticed a Quinta Da Foz and I wonder if these places are connected. Cais Da Foz did offer wine as an option.

It was a multi course meal and everything's good from starter soup to dessert. Nice intimate atmosphere, courteous service. This is also where we had breakfast in the morning when the terrace is open. Breakfast is one of the better ones we had on the trip with super tasty yogurts. They will make eggs to order but you'll have to ask as it doesn't seem to be something they promote.

    What a terrible experience :(…read more We had been here before for a wine tasting and lunch and we had some family in town and decided to book again. We booked for 4 people and then when they emailed us back confirmation we saw that children were not allowed. So we called to change the booking from 4 people to 2 people so that myself and my wife could take our son to the nearby park. They refused to change it even though it had only been 30 minutes since we made the booking. They spent 10 minutes telling us they could not change the booking and instead offering to have us pay full price for our child to come. My wife was on the phone with them for 10 minutes and then I tried to talk to them and lost my temper due to the poor service. I am sorry I lost my temper. The hostess was quite dismissive and unhelpful. We were going to bring 5 people to your restaurant for lunch and just needed to change from 4 people to 2 people for the wine tasting after since you don't allow kids (which you only told us after we paid and booked). There are far friendlier and better places in the Douro river valley that do a better job. We will never come to this restaurant and winery again. Ben

As the nights are starting to get cooler after the sunset (7:30), they had located many heating lamps and positioned cozy blankets on chairs just in case. It was quite pleasant. Food-wise you can order a tasting menu if several courses with optional wine pairings or do what we did and select from the ala-carte menu. We've learned with the big portion sizes here in Portugal to cut back a bit so we ordered two starters (burratta with tomatoes and the scarlet shrimp with rice). The burratta was a standout with creamy sweet cheese nestled in a tomato confit. The shrimp was interesting-it was almost like a mini lobster and the server removed the head at the table for me. We decided to share a main course-the veal tenderloin which was good but not nearly as tender as one might expect. In between there were little small bites from the chef and we ended with a luscious chocolate dessert. The white glove service was a swarm of activity instantly refilling glasses, clearing plates and changing silverware-it was a little much for me as our table was right at the crossroads of the activity. Wine list is huge as you'd expect with everything from wines by the glass for €10-17 to bottles in the hundreds and even thousands of euros. I saw one that was €6 thousand on the list. As is common in this kind of place, prices were steep and our dinner with 2 drinks, 2 glasses of wine, 2 starters, 1 main and 1 dessert was around €150. Bottom line a lovely place with great service and food and high
