Genuinu’s, Petiscaria & Wine Bar — Restaurant in Azambuja

During our trip to Douro Valley, my companions and I stumbled upon a hidden gem of a restaurant just 40 minutes outside of Lisbon in a charming village. Our experience at this establishment was nothing short of exceptional, and I felt compelled to share our wonderful dining experience.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by Andrea, our server, whose hospitality and warmth made our meal truly memorable. Andrea guided us through the menu, offering excellent recommendations for starters, salads, and main courses. Each dish we ordered was prepared to perfection, especially the tomahawks and T-bones, which were cooked just the way we liked them.

One of the highlights of our dining experience was Andrea's expertise in wine pairing. She handpicked wines that complemented our meals flawlessly and even provided recommendations for wines to take home. Her attentiveness throughout our meal was commendable, as she checked in on us regularly to ensure everything was to our liking.

The ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall charm of our evening. It's evident that this place is a hidden gem, and I highly recommend visiting if you find yourself near Lisbon. The combination of excellent food, outstanding service from Andrea, and the cozy atmosphere makes it a must-visit if you’re in...

Every journey to the north is punctuated with a visit to Genuinu’s, a place where my wife and I have woven threads of delightful memories. This charming eatery is more than a mere stop; it’s a destination that promises a feast for the senses.

Upon entering, you’re greeted by a cozy atmosphere that whispers tales of Portuguese heritage. The staff welcomes you with open arms, setting the tone for an experience that’s as personal as it is pleasurable.

At Genuinu’s, the big selection of Portuguese wines stands proud, each bottle a testament to the country’s rich viticultural history. The wines are curated not just to quench thirst but to complement the culinary journey. From robust reds to crisp whites, there’s a perfect pairing for every dish on the menu.

The menu itself is a celebration of flavors, with charcoal-grilled prime meat cuts taking center stage. The grill’s ember-kissed offerings are a harmonious match for the wines, creating pairings that resonate with the soul of Portugal.

Genuinu’s is not just a restaurant; it’s a culinary compass that guides you through the best of Portuguese gastronomy. It’s a place where every meal is a discovery, and every glass of wine is a new chapter in a story that’s shared between friends...

Love this place! It's a hidden gem in a real Ribatejan village Aveiras de Cima. We were surprised by their modern, creative, and delicious dishes with well balanced flavours and 😍. The people are very nice and the place has a nice atmosphere.

We tried some dishes with nice combined wines: • couvert with fresh bread, three different home made butters and fresh cheese • warm goat cheese with pear portwine jam • gratin cheese with compote • fried squid strips (perfect texture!) With ink mayonaise • flamed shrimps with asparagus • tournedo and beef cheek with orange salad and bean rice • mousse de chocolate with sea salt • Pudim dos Monges with maracuja sauce • vintage Port wine

My favourite? Hard to choose! Loved the cheese with pears, and the shrimps but the squid strips really surprised me in a positive way too. Never had...
