Contribute Feedback What Nicole Oliveira doesn't like about De Castro Gaia:
However, restaurants just as nice for better value on the quay. And don't order the breaded mash, a friend ordered this and it was just like baby food. Kept us entertained but not very filling.Our villa had a great view across the river to Porto from Guiya however if yours does not then the view from the terrace bar are fabulous View all feedback.
By the Douro River in Vila Nova de Gaia, you 'll find a bunch of small restaurants. But hey, not all are worth your time. DeCastro is a standout though. You won 't even notice it if you 're just strolling by, since it 's tucked inside the Porto Cruz building. You gotta head up to the third floor using the elevator. The service is quick, and the waitstaff are friendly and multilingual – they 're cool in Portuguese, Spanish, and English. But the real star is the food. We kicked things off with peixinhos da horta (green bean tempura) served with lemon mayo – really hit the spot. Then came my order, the veal steak with cured ham, while my wife dug into the duck leg. Both were seriously good, but the veal steak really is life-changing. Time for desserts. I went for the classic toucinho do céu (almond and egg cake) with raspberry ice cream, and my wife took a shot at the chocolate cake. Tough to pick a winner – both were superb. All said and done, I totally recommend giving this place a shot. The food is great, they 've got a terrace with sweet city views, and it won 't break the bank.
