A few years ago I went on a vacation trip to Serra da Estrela and had dinner at the Restaurante Camelo in a local hotel. It was superb. I get water in my mouth just thinking about that. After that, a friend of mine told me about this Restaurante Camelo near Viana do Castelo as being from the same owner... More

This is a very good local place. Best octopus I´ve ever eaten! Vino mi casa! I don't eat meat but my friends said that it was delicious too. And the home made Baba de camelo was just divine ;-) If you´re lucky you can join portuguese wedding since it is a very popular place for such a party. Enjoy!

Take my opinion as a Reliable information. This is one of the BEST Restaurants in Portugal. Food is fantastic specialy the Rojões com Sarrabulho and if you add the Wine "verde tinto da casa" then you are just some steps from Perfection. Highly recommended this Food Santuary.

I went with a group and many people raved about the blood sausage and other typical foods of the region. I will defer to my travel companions and say it must have been good. Personally, although the portions were huge and the port was excellent, I left hungry, but that was my fault, I just do not like this type... More

Extensive menu, great service, very helpful and obliging , food very good, on the down-side its a little out of town, 6 Euro for Taxi each way, but worth it.

WE loved the outside area, with granite old benches. The food was fresh (we ordered the specials) and reasonably priced.

What a great way to try the northern flavours: beggining with the starters, but not forgetting the main course (if you feel like having meat you must try "Posta Mirandesa"), the wine (don't be afraid to try a local speciality: fresh red wine served in small bowls) or the deserts. Good service and a fair price at the end help... More

My husband's cousin from Braga took us to Camelo and it did not disappoint. We at on the patio with grapevines overhead providing much needed shade. The staff were fantastic. The food was outstanding. I won't attempt to remember the dishes in Portugese but the smashed potates with olive oil were divine. The rice, the meat, the soup and the... More

for those who want to try Minho food I would suggest "sarrabulho com rojoes" ( rice cooked in pork blood with pork meat and other special things), fresh red " Verde" wine served in a "malga" and finally, as desert, a wonderful "rabanada" it wont disappoint
