  • 1. Terra de Montanha

    $

    With tables nestled inside oversized wine barrels, Terra de Montanha has an interior design that's as memorable as the food. Try excellent house specials such as bacalhau com presunto e broa (cod baked with cured ham and cornbread) or a well-flavored meat dish such as joelho de porco assado (roasted pork knuckle). They serve dinner until late here—almost midnight on weekends.

  • 2. Buxa

    $$

    On one of the city's most scenic squares, this handsome eatery across from the Museu de Alberto Sampaio has tables in a wood-paneled dining room and beneath the arches of a cobbled courtyard. Portuguese specialties include bacalhau roasted with a cornbread crust, posta à Trás-os-montes (steak, marinated with garlic and then grilled), and prime cuts of porco preto (from the Iberian black pig).

    Largo da Oliveira 23, Guimarães, Braga, 4800-438, Portugal

    Known For

    • Weekday lunch menu is an excellent value
    • Excellent renditions of the region's classic dishes
    • Extensive wine selection
  • 3. Falcão de Mendonça

    $

    An 1820s manor turned 11-room inn, Falcão de Mendonça's restaurant has warm service and surprisingly reasonable prices. On the menu is Portuguese fare with a few interesting additions, like shrimp-stuffed bacalhau, rabbit stew, and prawns with garlic mushrooms. You can take your meal beside the outdoor pool, and there's a billiards table to amuse the kids while you linger over your meal—but they're sure to run back to the table for a dessert of crêpes topped with ice cream and chocolate sauce, or crema catalana (the cinnamon-scented Iberian version of crème brûlée).

  • 4. Restaurante Arco Iris

    $

    The popular, no-frills sister eatery to Taverna de Matilde, Arco Iris serves big portions of home-style fare such as jabalí (wild boar) stew, roast lamb, and grilled cod. There's a short list of inexpensive regional wines. If you have any room left at the end of your meal, try the almond mousse.
