Excellent. Authentic restaurant with great service and fresh fish, delivered daily by fishermen themselves. Straight from the catch on your plate. Gina was our waiter and she spoke fluent Spanish and English. The whole team made us feel welcome and part of a bigger whole, which is very nice when traveling.
Prices are very reasonable. The food is simple and of high quality. No fancy stuff. The wine selection was incredible. We dined here two nights in a row. Highly recommended.
2. O Bairro

Facing the local fish market and the canal dos botirões, at the heart of Aveiro's historic center, O Bairro is the place where you'll have one of the best gastronomic experiences of your life. Starting with the "33cl de caldeirada", followed by the fish&seafood rice and finishing with our amazing dessert of "Ovo Mole à Bairro", for sure you'll want to come back on the next day to experience other deli...

Having tried another nearby restaurant the night before and been disappointed I consulted TripAdvisor more thoroughly for our second night's meal. On Reading about O Bairro's adventurous attitude to modern Portuguese food I booked by phone immediately in high hopes of a meal that would satisfy both stomach and pocket! We weren't disappointed! Although our waitress was a little severe she didn't lack any attentiveness to our needs - brisk and efficient service was the order of the day and I don't mind that. The food was excellent, especially the rightly applauded Risotto de Camarao and Prato Vegetariano. To complement the food we drank the waiter's recommended Lua Cheia Vinhas Velhas - excellent and only €12 the bottle. I finished off the meal with the chef's mystery dessert 'Misterio do Bairro' - I won't spoil the surprise but it was delicious! So choose this restaurant for at least one of your nights in Aveiro and you'll go away satisfied with happy memories. Costs was €65 for two all in.

We really didn't know what we were getting into here, we had driven up the coast in the morning and by the time we were approaching Aveiro we were REALLY ready for some lunch. I asked Google for "restaurants near me" and this one came up with some good review, and we said "why not!"
We were the only tourists in the place, but the staff was very helpful and the food was quite good! This is authentic Portuguese food, not some derivation invented by a chef in a big city restaurant trying to be clever. Nice piece of cod, freshly prepared with a nice sauce.

I found this lounge bar quite by chance and had a great surprise. I stopped here for a late morning snack and had white wine from the region and some fried calamares which were great.
Since it is located right on the beach the view is also superb

Located in Vagos, this restaurant offers a modern, comfortable and welcoming environment. The menu is diverse, but grilled courses are predominant also including some game meats. Meals should be enjoyed with moderation because the dessert list is extensive and irresistible.

After our gondola tour of Aveiro, we found Confeitaria Peixinho on recommendation of TripAdvisor. We were glad we did. We tried several different pasties mmmm. I have been searching for good almond cookies, I found them here, the best I have tried yet, wish I had bought more of them. The oves moles are to die for. We purchased some fresh in a decorative container. They is no way to sit unfortunately, it is right by the main canal with many place to sit.
