O Jardim — Restaurant in Esposende

Funky cool space, dogs welcome. Interesting food. Great Mussels! (one dish--largely tasteless Asian Black Pasta.) Odd sauce (like a thousand island) on Tomato Avocado focaccia. Plus focaccia was a bit lacking in texture.. Good clams mussels, and loved the vegetable-filled broth. The homemade rosemary bread was delicious! The fish of the day was an entire grilled fish, perfect salty crispy skin, very fresh and delicious. And the potato salad as a side to the fish was also very good. The octopus salad was good. The jalapeno poppers, although I have had better when the cheese was made with a fresh goat cheese, this was more of the Philadelphia cream cheese variety. The passion fruit sangria was amazing and potent! Will go back again & again. The ambiance is utterly unusual, funky & fun and amazing with places to lounge on the lawn or grab a table near the bar in the garden or undercover. The playlist on their sound system is always fantastic! There was a large wedding party buffet going on so it is also a great place for a large group. Obviously book in advance. Serves a great Sunday Buffet Brunch. I highly recommend this spot and bring all my...

What an absolutely fantastic place!!! It is so chilled out, it could be a hostel in the Caribbean, but it isn't. It's a professional, well-run restaurant. The food is very tasty yet cheap, when you come, you get greeted as if visiting your good friends. Life music for lunch! What? Yes, you can eat as much as you want of the freshly made octopus salad from a buffet, order mussels, or taste the coal grilled meats done by the owner or simply hang around on the hammock in the garden and listen to the life music played in the garden... At lunch time! The staff is international, super friendly to every visitor, dogs and child super accomodating. A cat is apparently a boss there :)... I wish I discovered this place earlier and would just hang out here. Bring your sandals, good mood and chill out for a really good meal or a few beers! Payment by credit...

This place is a 💎.

Probably the only place within 20km with such a unique chill authentic beach vibe.

Eclectic bohemian decoration with surprising design touches (bathroom and inside dining area). Kid friendly, pet friendly, LGBTQ too.

Cocktails and food under the pine trees? Yes!!!

FOOD: surprisingly delicious! And unbeatable prices - especially for the area. 4€ salads (cuscus and Greek salad - generous portions and well seasoned), 2€ soups!?! 🤯🙏🏽💕 The prices will surely go up but it will still be worthwhile.

I only put 4stars for service as was a bit slow as understaffed but they just opened so I'm sure it was just bad timing as too busy. Aside...
