Restaurante Meu Jardim — Restaurant in Nazaré

If you are in or near Nazaré I would encourage you to find the only French restaurant in the area Meu Jardim. I feel that we were blessed to have found this outstanding restaurant on our first night in Portugal. We loved it so much we returned the next evening as well, not only for the exceptional food and wine but for the atmosphere and warmth of the co-owner and wife of the chef, Adaline . Her insights of the food and wine added to our experience as she shared her vast knowledge with us about where the food and wines are locally sourced. We especially loved the sparkling wine made with local grapes. We also throughly enjoyed scallops, foie gras, prawns, duck confit and profiteroles. The second night we enjoyed escargot, crispy goat cheese, duo crudo of salmon and cod, duck breast, and pork loin medallions, plus flambée, crème, brûlée, and expresso. We skipped lunch so that we were able to...

Such a charming restaurant! I love French food and to discover this little hidden gem in Portugal 😁. It’s tucked away in a cozy spot in Nazare and the food was amazing! The host and owner is so friendly and welcoming and provides excellent service. I started off with the escargot, they were so tender and cooked in butter and garlic and you get 12! I was surprised by the amount you received and they were amazing! My main course was pork medallions, which were perfectly prepared, and the sauce was to die for and it came with potatoes and vegetables and the potatoes were also so yummy! I can’t say enough positive things about this restaurant and highly recommended it, I know I will definitely be back! Give it a try and you won’t be...

A truly charming and relaxed French dining experience

We had the joy of being on the terrace on a perfect day - Meu Jardim is a hidden paradise

Our food was delicious, superbly cooked and beautifully presented - the mushroom sauce with the duck confit was amazing. My wife chose the sole and the lemon sauce was the perfect accompaniment. Even the little florets of vegetables were perfectly cooked

There is clearly great skill and care from this kitchen

We liked it so much we immediately booked to return for our 30th wedding anniversary in July

Thank you to Rémy, Alicia, Adeline and her husband...
