Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This restaurant stands out for its service, very concerned and affectionate, we started, with an olive, pâté and also a smoked one, the house vine green white and top, and we ordered wild boar chanfana which was divine. Then with homemade desserts such as lemon tart or apple tart/pudding with cinnamon.
When we ordered coffee we were surprised with a special offer from the house.
The price is too adjusted for what they serve.

On vacation around the area we decided to try this establishment, being that of the restaurants of the Villa was the one that had the best reviews
It was an excellent experience
I ordered the grilled alhambra, but as accompaniment migas instead of fried potatoes, which were green bean grains, and were absolutely divine
The alhera was very tasty, of the best I tried in the northern area
My mate ordered the steak to Gerês, (if I'm not mistaken) it was baked and fried, with a honey sauce, and it was according to him very good 👍🏻
Not being the cheapest in the area, it was undoubtedly a great bet on the quality of the food

The restaurant did not earn 4 score for lack of administrative capricho, because I always like to enjoy a different beer when the restaurant offers, and there is a craft beer from the house, when I ordered mine, they had just sold the last unit, it turns out to be a bad experience, the kind that spoils the shine. But the dish we ate (burdock meat with roasted potatoes and cabbage and calf spat in corn flour to honey sauce with caramelized onion, tomatoes, roasted potatoes and seasoned white beans) was a sensational experience, and the attendance is 5 stars. Anyway, I highly recommend the place. It's worth checking out.

A little disappointed. We saw that this restaurant was one of the best mentioned in Gerês, and although we really liked other restaurants in other years, we decided to try it based on the reviews. The cutlet had no flavor and the cutlet, to be considered served, should not have been so small. They made a mistake and instead of charging us for a small bottle of wine they told us a large one. We thought the price was high since we didn't order starters, dessert or coffee. (58€)

I had lunch there today for the first time. We don't plan on repeating it. Poor quality meat, grilled mixed and breast, tough and just fat. Served only with dry and dark fries, a sign that they were fried in old oil. The black beans and rice that were supposed to accompany the breast were forgotten in the kitchen. The cheese starter and the wine were saved.
The bill 45.00 euros
As a Minho native, I think this restaurant is a scam that might be good for tourists who don't know our cuisine, or else we were very unlucky. They didn't even deign to apologize for the mistake. I don't recommend it to anyone.

After we called 4 days in advance to make a reservation for February 14 responded to those who did not make reservations, which would be by order of arrival. Our surprise when we arrive at the restaurant we entered, we ordered a table for two and informed that it is not possible because it is complete. Our reaction, as so complete? For we looked back and there were countless empty tables. We called to make a reservation and did not accept and now they say that the patrao the day before decided to make reservations? Oh, we just decided yesterday! That was the answer. Would it be just for friends? We are from afar, for years we used to come on purpose to eat in this restaurant, that yes, very good food without a doubt, the post to the lurdes chapel is wonderful, but have no organization... well I know that will not make any difference, but probably just lost two customers.

After a first visit months ago where everything was good, this time not everything went well. One of the dishes (grilled veal steak) was very good, but the other (grilled breast) was almost all nerve, with no flavor and no salt. The service and attention from the head of the room is perfect, but the young colleagues, without any training or precepts. The room needs more care in cleaning and maintenance. Prices already exaggerated for what it is.

The service was excellent and the food was very well prepared (5*). The assessment is carried out based on 3 consecutive visits. In two of them I ate oven-roasted veal accompanied with potatoes, rice and vegetables and in the other the famous steak accompanied with smashed potatoes and vegetables. In my opinion, the price is adequate for the quantity/quality. Well done to the entire ***** team.

The employees were friendly and the service was quick. However, the food was quite disappointing. We chose one of the suggestions of the day, oven-baked vitrla. Meat tasteless and a little tough, poorly sliced, potatoes and rice poorly cooked. Tasteless cabbage. A restaurant that people look for because it has a good reputation but that doesn't make an effort to maintain quality. I don't recommend it.

Very tasty food.
We were delighted with the breaded meat with honey sauce, it was simply incredible.
The octopus was great too.
The service was good, although the restaurant was full, we didn't wait long. And the staff was very attentive.

Some (quick) queue. But the chunk was worth it!
Friendly service...but the chunk...
Good desserts... but the chunk...
The hunk with mountain cheese and fries dipped in sauce is something...!! Super tender meat with a flavor that made me ashamed of the expressions of satisfaction I made throughout lunch!

19 hours. Full room. Which is not difficult, considering the small space, which is simple but welcoming.
Food well prepared without exaggeration when it comes to condiments.
Pleasant service without salaciousness.

The superior: The most impressive wine list of any restaurant in Portugal. And with some good stuff in there at a reasonable price (double the retail price = really fair)
The good: Good quality meat and very large portions.
The harsh brutality: Dish design is non-existing in Geres - so you will get a pile of meat + a pile of chips in Lurdes Capela, like everywhere else. A vegetarian lasagne here is 80% cheese + 15% pasta + 5% spinach. Proper vegetables - and dishes composed of vegetables is not in this village.

We were 3 times! Amazing food, great service. The putting to lurdes is the best, wonderful! Tiny and juicy meat with an accompaniment of broa, grain and divine cabbage. Amazing black pig frogs too, we loved it!

My wife and I recently ate here. We arrived shortly before 6:30 and had no trouble getting a table, although the restaurant filled within 5 minutes. The staff was friendly, helpful, and had a fair ability to communicate in English. The salada mista was very generous, as were all other portions. The breaded steak with a honey sauce was tasty and tender. We also had codfish, which was intensely salty. I normally follow a low salt diet so am very sensitive to salt, but this may not be a problem for most people. We were too full to enjoy dessert. Prices are quite reasonable
