PORTUGAL - MOREIRA DE CÓNEGOS - RESTAURANTE S. GIÁO

RESTAURANTE S. GIÁO

Another trip across the Portuguese border. This time to Moreira de Cónegos, between Braga and Porto, and in the countryside near Guimaraes.

Not the easiest place to find, even with a sat nav. When you do, you will see no name on the outside of a building which could be mistaken for a workshop.

After walking around the building, we find the unnamed entrance door and walk into the delightful surprise of a stunning traditional Portuguese setting.

The large windows in the open dining room offer views across to the restaurant's local vinho verde vineyards and the green surrounding mountainside.

You can also use the local football pitch.

Excellent traditional cooking takes place at this country restaurant, with a wood oven in the centre of the dining room, and it is famous for its own smoked products.

The menu is excellent, and the chef, Pedro Nunes, is permanently updating it with new dishes. It has a nice wine cellar you can visit by request, and you can choose the very reasonably priced wine for your meal.

Try.....

Home-smoked salmon

Morcela de arroz (Black pudding with rice)

Ovos rotos (broken eggs)

Sopa de peixe (fish soup)

Tripas (tripe)

Cabrito (oven-roasted leg of kid goat)

Bochechas de porco (pork cheeks)

Bacalhau (codfish)

Bife de filete (fillet steak)

Have the house flan for dessert

Make a reservation if you want to be sure you get a table.

Service is friendlyand helpful.

Closed on Monday and Sunday for dinner.

To help find the restaurant, it is opposite this monstrosity
