Shore House — Restaurant in Esposende

Oh, what an adventure it was, visiting this peculiar, yet somehow charming spot! The place was unremarkable at best, but its quirkiness lay in the open-air terrace that was, quite hilariously, built on an actual part of the road. You know, it was as if they had a town meeting and someone said, "Hey, let's put a bunch of tables and chairs in the middle of the road. We'll call it a terrace. It'll be fun!"

You'd think the danger of sitting on an active thoroughfare would be off-putting, but honestly, it was sort of a thrill. Like playing a real-life version of Frogger, except instead of a frog, you're a semi-tipsy patron dodging oncoming traffic.

The prices? Oh, they make you feel as if you're paying for an exclusive experience. Only a select handful of bars grace this stretch, and they’ve caught on that people will pay a premium to engage in this oddball terraced dining. You know the type - local high-rollers sipping their fancy sangrias, acting like it's the most normal thing in the world to have a Fiat narrowly miss their table.

And speaking of sangrias, they do know their stuff. Ever thought about having passion fruit sangria? Me neither. But they serve it, and it packs quite a punch. Not a knockout, but a friendly jab to the senses that makes you think, "Hey, this ain't too bad!"

The staff? Well, bless their hearts, they were reasonably pleasant. A few had a case of selective blindness when it came to non-English speaking patrons. Wave all you want; you’ll have better luck summoning a genie from a lamp than getting a nod from these chaps.

Now, would I go back? Probably not. Would I recommend it? Well, if you're a sangria enthusiast or a thrill-seeker looking for a bizarre dining experience, absolutely! Just make sure you’ve had enough sangria courage before you decide to take up the daredevil's seat at that corner spot on the road. Because trust me, it’s not every day you get to drink, dine, and dodge cars all at once!

After all who needs car parking spot infront of their pub when there are plenty of parking spots in front of...

Low quality ingredients for the burger. I ask several times to make sure not to get pork meat cs I can't handle it. The burgers we got were of low quality with awful mixed with whatever meat. Not worth the price. We went off and paid in full but were upset with the location and weak information policy. The reason why i had to leave this rating is that the guy who took the money was bot interested at all and unfriendly (pissed). Sorry but paying 27 EUR for this whack stuff is inacceptable. We didnt eat it on. Not...

Um dos restaurantes onde eu ia quase todos os domingos, antes de trocarem de gerência, passa a ser um dos quais eu não sei se quero voltar. Na minha última experiência lá, chegamos cedo e fomos atendidos ainda sem ninguém na sala, pedimos batatas fritas com cheddar e bacon como entrada, e até aí tudo bem, pedimos dois hambúrgueres exatamente iguais, sem cebola e com ovo, e esperamos por estes hambúrgueres cerca de 45min. Até poderia estar tudo bem, mas foram servidas pessoas antes de nós, das quais chegaram depois e comeram o mesmo tipo de comida que a minha mesa. Um dos hambúrgueres veio como foi pedido, o outro não. Em termos de sabor até estavam bons, mas nada de especial. O empregado de mesa, nem um pedido de desculpa, justificação ou questionar se estava tudo bom teve o cuidado de fazer. Mais digo que as batatas fritas vieram frias, mas depois percebi o porquê, ao dirigir-me ao balcão para efetuar o pagamento, reparei nos 4 pratos com hambúrgueres que estavam lá à espera que alguém os levasse à mesa… É pena um restaurante com tanto potencial e onde em tempos me senti tão bem, neste momento não me trazer qualquer boa...
