Taverna Viavai

Super tasty Asian food, we are very surprised by this place. Loved the spicy chicken wings and the laksa spicy noodles soup. Special thanks to the host Paul and his wife the cook

Damned, I ve found Malaysian beef rendang cooked by a new Zeland cook in the middle of nowhere in the center of Portugal. What a small world !

Delicious food, very relaxed atmosphere, welcoming hosts included their 3 dogs!! Hubby ate red Thai chicken curry and I ate steak and wine pie with mash and peas - back to the old country!!! Looking forward to returning very soon.

We were looking for a place for a lunch yesterday and we came upon this taverna. What a surprise it was to see the menu! All our favourite foods and more.
The food was delicious and we had a great time.
The taverna is also dog friendly so we will bring our dog with us next time.
The host are very friendly.

Delicious south east asian meals, authentic flavours and generous portions! A gem hidden in central portugal. Worth going!

Nice and cosy. Family friendly (loved the board games).
Asian food was delicious.
Dog friendly.

Loved this restaurant, you have to pre-order by phone or Facebook messenger but the food is amazing and the chef comes out to ask if you enjoyed it. Great atmosphere, and we had a mini Portuguese lesson from one of the locals, would definitely visit again.

It's just lovely. It's the only word that describes it. Very cozy, it's as if someone has turned their vintage kitchen into a café/bar/corner shop. I absolutely love this place and Gypsy, their calico cat is a fabulous hostess. 😻

5 ⭐ great food! Great service! Love the variety of dishes! Philipa and Paul will make you feel at home! Super knowledgeable too if you are wanting to know more about the area!

It had stunning views. Some of the dishes we had were lovely others were so so. The thing I didn't like is that I had to pre-order when I booked. You never know what you feel like eating until you look at the menu and how hungry you will be.

Excellent food, nice to get very good vegetarian. Must order in advance.

Run by expats but Portuguese pricing. Superb

A lovely place to eat and drink. We were greeted at the door by Paul, who was a brilliant host. We had some really great food and will definitely be back!

(I was reminded to write this review as it was so nice we’re still talking about it!)

The best curry I've ever eaten, lovely proprietors and a cozy ambiance. Very reasonable prices too. Just make sure to book in advance.

Fabulous food. Great outdoor dining.

Paul and Philipa are excellent hosts and offer a wide range of cuisine. They are very accommodating and offer genuine home cooking and hospitality.

Paul and Phillipa were our hosts. A wonderful meal of Bobotie, Thai green curry, very hot, salmon, Indonesian Chicken curry. It was great to get to know them. The place has a special ambiance in the village of Viavai. Order in advance off the menu on Facebook and go knowing you will spends a few hours here just chilling. No credit or debit card facility. Bring cash or pay with MB way. Perfect Sunday out... Easy and scenic drive. Loved it.

Great food friendly atmosphere well priced, very popular as their food is more of an oriental / middle eastern influence you can taste the passion and it's freshly made. Hygiene standards are of a high level!! Enjoy the experience

Such nice people and excellent food and service. We all loved it once more. Highly recommended.

Found this place by chance on a lunch break and was pleasantly surprised. I had the curry and it was a good size and homemade and was excellent with just the right amount of spice (normally not the case in Portugal as things tend to be a bit bland). My colleague had the chilli nachos and when I return I will be trying those if available on the day. Nice setting and friendly owners too. Price was standard among the area.

Great atmosphere company and home made food 5*
