Bamos O Mendes - Viana do Castelo

'Went for Diaria, advertised at 7.50 Euros all inclusive. Had the soup, meal, dessert and coffee, with only water and no wine. The meal, carne assada, was OK but lots of fat, the soup honestly tasted like dishwater with a few bits of cabbage and carrot floating in it, could not eat it all. Mousse Chocolat too thick and rich, it was a passable meal but nothing special. Then we were charged 12 Euros each, have no idea why but way beyond what was expected. I know others who go for the daily meal and pay only the 7.50 Euros so I am wondering why we were charged so much. We have lived in the Alto Minho area for many years so not tourists and not used to such poor quality. There are lots of daily meals which are excellent. They are planning to host an ex-pat lunch there next month and I just wonder if it will be as bad. I will be passing along this information to the group. I can only hope that something better is on offer. I will definitely not return, far better elsewhere.

As we were looking for a Last Minute Location on new years eve, we were happy to get this Reservation. BUT: the Restaurant was freezing cold, People wore their jackets Dinner. There was no warm Welcome and except for the Starters and Desert, the Food was rather disgusting.

Attentive staff. Great traditional Portuguese food. We had two different types of grilled fish (freshly caught) and it was perfect. Good value for money.

Just had an excellent meal here. Fresh fish, great price, good tap wine, wonderful owner who brought out the cook to interpret the menu generous portions. Will be back!

Great experience for vegan and omnivores! Dinner of 33 very well assembled, bed linen napkins, drinks always come, delicious appetizers desserts and coffee in the package. I cannot emphasize enough the high level of hygiene and quality ingredients used. Thanks Sr Mendes and staff our Halloween dinner was the best (Sorry for the amount of noise
