Service

Fabulous regional food! Very tasty, huge portions and incredible value! The staff made us very welcome and seemed happy to ser

Food was great, staff is friendly and the music and atmosphere was lots of fun

Beautiful place, amazing staff and the food was incredibly good! Would recommend 10/10

Amazing place! I don&rsquo;t know how I missed this restaurant exploring Guimaraes :/ Food is fantastic - try the cheese with the souse as a starter and the octopus just first class. Also the service is perfect. Definitely great choice for every occasion!

Location is perfect, by River T&acirc;mega and near the monastery and bridge. The price is really good considering the quality of the food and service (for soup, garlic bread and main course and drinks, we paid around 25&euro; a person)

Restaurant is centrally located just off Largo do Toural. Staff were friendly and welcoming and some staff spoke English. Had a pizza and pasta and both were quite good. Nice restaurant with patio.

A deserving Michelin Star restaurant. Amazing experience with great service and food. Staff was on top of every detail.

It was my 3rd time having dinner in this space and is a 10/10. The space is beautiful and the room manager was super kind and professional. The food is really good and the price is fair. We plan to repeat!

One of our favourite restaurants in the world because everything on the menu is just delicious and by now we probably tried almost everything from them! The pizza is the best I ever had and as a desert I highly recommend their tiramisu!

Thank you very much for the two wonderful meals in your restaurant. We became aware of Norma through the Michelin guide. A first visit for lunch offered us aromatic, very fresh and imaginative dishes in a wonderful ambience. The flavors and ideas of the recipes and the concept of Norma inspired us.We were so impressed that we tried the large tasting menu again two days later. We were also impressed the second time. The menu was changed for us by the very flexible service and the kitchen, so that we were not served dishes that we had already eaten on our first visit.The service is also very attentive and we were looked after very well, as if we were good friends. Miguel Marques, head chef since March 2025, and his team are truly sensational in the way they play with the flavors, whether fish, meat or dessert. We wish you many guests who appreciate what very good cuisine means. A real treat! Susanne and Christian

Food was really good and the service too. Would definitely come back.

Exceptional food (probably the best in the valley) and location as ever. Service took time to get going and was a bit patchy. Communication in English to Portuguese was also a barrier.

Great food with a fantastic service ???? the space is very cozy and the staff look after you. It was my husband&rsquo;s birthday and the chef made us a special dessert ???? without us asking for it. ❤️ 5 ⭐️

The restaurant has a great atmosphere, located in the heart of the historic center of Guimar&atilde;es. The food is delicious and feels homemade, making it a perfect spot for a leisurely dinner.

the ambience, scenery, location, setting is a 5 stars for sure.. the food was good but my only deception was the cod fish..  the menu should have emphasised this was not fresh cod but salted cod.  The server did mention the dish was salty but there&#39;s a huge difference between being salty and not fresh fish.   That part of the meal completely threw  us off of what could have been an exceptional experience.

The atmosphere of this restaurant is lovely, especially the terrace for outdoor dining. The prices are reasonable for the quality of food and service provided.

I was particularly impressed by the tasting menu, which was innovative and perfectly paired with wines. Each course was a delightful surprise, reflecting the chef&#39;s creativity and dedication to quality.

Easy like Sunday morning. One look at the menu and I realized that if half of what was promised was delivered, we were just fine.The hamburgers were great. Mine was a smash burger so I didn&#39;t expect it to be very juicy or anything, but it was packing flavour, the truffle sauce wasn&#39;t too overwhelming and bread was perfect for this kind of burger. Everyone else enjoyed their burgers as well.The assortment of fries options delivers quite well.We had a jar of passion fruit lemonade. Fresh, not too sweet, great value for money.The menu left me thinking I&#39;d need to be back to try other burgers, the real thing made me sure of it. Staff is nice, effective and forthcoming.

A new restaurant tucked behind a shopping gallery. There were only 2 other customers during a Thursday dinner.Food is pan-iberian. We had very good patatas bravas and a flamed sausage as starters, and shared a paella which had quite a lot of liquid and not the socarrat we like. We got also a good tuna spread sandwich as a bonus. The waiter is sweet but shy with customers. Give this place a chance and try it yourself.

Amazing food from such a small place tucked out of the way. Reasonably priced too and friendly and knowledgable waiter. Highly recommended.

Very nice terrace with nice music.We took 4 little plates to share, for two, it was exactly what we were looking for!

Great staff and delicious meal  we are from Canada and they went out of their way to make out meal a great experience. Team was very friendly and helpful.

The service at this restaurant is top-notch! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing our dining experience. I highly recommend trying the tasting menu.

The wine pairing at A Cozinha was exceptional, perfectly complementing the dishes and enhancing the overall dining experience. It&#39;s a must-visit for wine lovers!

Good staff and good quality products. Service was fast although a little bit pricey. Nice location.
