Restaurante Gago Coutinho

At first sight you don't expect much from this place, just the usual... But then you look a little better and closer and you see that this place is quite special.

When you're seated on the left side of the restaurant you start noticing some coins pushed against all over the wall. You get curious and touch one of these coins and they fall off... They are not glued to the wall, in fact, it started with customers just randomly placing coins all over the wall. Even my mom and I did it today, it's like playing with Lego, this place is definitely not boring!! I guess people had some small change left and decided to just push their coins all over the wall throughout the days/months or even years. Definitely a special touch! And something you could also do when visiting this place

The service here is really beyond good! The lady was all on her own when we arrived, no customers, no other staff, just her, and a cute kitchen that you can easily see from the eating area. When we arrived and got our order placed more people started entering the restaurant in which at the point of leaving she was serving and cooking for about 13 people in total!! All on her own!!! AMAZING!

The food was really good too! Good portions and really good taste!

I don't understand some of these negative reviews, everything was perfect! It may be simple food, but this simple food was really but really good! She may have been working on her own, but there wasn't a time we felt like we waited for too long! And the atmosphere of this place, like I said previously, it's definitely not a boring place, at least when you sit on the left side of the restaurant.

Definitely recommend this restaurant for people who enjoy amazing food, service and atmosphere!

Very nice restorant vith tasty local food. Nice and very professional waiter.

Best food in town and lovely sweets .. great staff 100% recommended to visit .. known for the wall with coins

Excellent value. This is a place that is clearly popular with the locals and we enjoyed very good grilled sardines at half the price of other restaurants in the town.

Had a fantastic and tasty meal in September when we visited whilst walking the Camino Way. Had the garlic prawns and Turkey steak - so yummy. Service was great, terrific value and loved the early dinner option (6ish)- thankyou

I don't write recommendations too often, but this restaurant really deserved it. Great fresh tapas & fish and a welcoming service - highly recommended.

I accidentally gave my good review of a nearby place to this restaurant but they were honest enough to point out the mistake so they get five stars for that.

Plato del día muy recomendable

Incluye la bebida y el café pero no la sobremesa, está tiene un sobre precio de 3€, pero tú decides si pedirla o no. El precio incluye el café y son 7,5€.

Puedo decir que la comida está riquísima y q merece la pena los buiños do bacalau.

La atención buenísima, la calidad realmente buena, el precio aceptable y el entorno muy bonito.

Realmente merece un 5.

Restaurante simples, mas com serviço eficaz e rápido. Comida caseira e deliciosa.

Comi o bitoque, muito bom e bem servido!

Comida bem feita e saborosa. Serviço atencioso e rápido! Várias opções de pratos do dia a preço económico.

Super leckeres Essen. Alles frisch. Nix TK.
Endlich mal wieder Salat mit tollem Eigengeschmack. Und die Preise sind absolut super. Wenn hier dann geht hin. Ich war sehr zufrieden

Muito bom o serviço, a pessoa que nos atendeu muito simpatica, a comida foi muito boa... 🤗🤗🤗

Es un sitio muy chiquitito, pero la comida es espectacular pedimos pulpo y bacalao y está riquisimo. Para la niña pedí pescado empanado y le encantó. Sugerencia los platos son grandes.
Y otra cosa en Portugal son lentos sirviendo, hacen la comida según pides todos recién hecho, esto implica tener paciencia a la hora de que te traigan la comida. Pero la espera mereció la pena.
Si vais a Viana ir a cenar un día no os defraudará.

Comida deliciosa a buen precio.
Bacalao de la casa y feijoada de marisco
De postre un dulce de caramelo

Ideal para los que llegan con hambre
y que saben comer bien.

Fui tres veces en el tiempo que me quede en Viana Do Castelo.
Siempre la comida sabrosa, siempre opciones diferentes.
Siempre bien preparado.
La atención muy buena. La comida llega a la mesa en pocos minutos y bien servido.

Muchas gracias por tan buen oficio.

Me encanta la sopa que dan en el menu.
Que rico se come en ese lugar.

Buena atención. Comida portuguesa casera, abundante y a buen precio. Para repetir.

Comida muito saborosa a bom preço. A posta à lagar era super tenra, muito saborosa. O polvo à lagareiro era suave, e o prato do dia (maminha) era saboroso e bem servido. Não tem muitas mesas, mas é agradável, com um serviço simpático e despretensioso. A voltar!

Mangiato molto bene spendendo pochissimo, pochi posti a sedere quindi seguiti molto bene, personale cordiale e disponibile, non prende i bancomat stranieri, ma il mezzogiorno menu fisso ad 6€ cad. Compresa birra o vino e caffè, porzioni giuste e molto gustose in base al piatto del giorno, se dovessi tornare in zona da ritornarci senz'altro.

Excelentes pratos. Confecionados e decorados a bom gosto.
Gente jovem e com gosto em servir.

Xantar marabilloso, servizo excelente. Moi recomendable a sopa do dia, e os viños da casa. Quero volver.
