Joanna's Wineshop & Tapas Restaurant — Restaurant in Viana do Castelo

This spot is well located just off the highway in a living area. So if you are passing through or visiting Viana go check it out. The owners are the friendliest people we’ve encountered in our trip to Portugal. The restaurant is really well thought of, but due to the kindness of the owners it really has a fun and laid back atmosphere. Their specialty is Polvo a Galega. Not an easy dish to prepare, but they excelled at it. We tried almost everything in the menu, mainly without meat. All of their creations were a pleasant surprise! The owner Joana cooks herself and prepares all the food (and deserts!). Oh yeah, the pizzas are to die for, also her creation. What can I say, we enjoyed ourselves and ate the best meal we could wish for. Obrigado!

PS: the food was so good that we didn’t even think to take pictures… oops (Sorry!). We went with the family (3 kids), they loved all the food and the desert...

If I can give 10 stars I would. By far one of the best highlights of our trip is to come to this family-owned restaurant. Thank you to “Dennis” who served and welcomed us, giving above and beyond expectations, providing exceptional service. He is very hospitable and friendly and took his time in making sure we have the best experience, and we for sure did. Thank you to Joanna and especially her father as well who always served us with a big smile in his face.

The food was delicious and made with love, good quality and effort. If I ever come back, this will be 100% on the list. Thank you for the...

What a great place to eat! If you want good food, service minded staff and good vibes. This is the place to be 👍🏻 Unfortunately they didn’t have an English version of the menu, but the staff were super friendly and helpful! They also know their products and you should trust their recommendations for wine with the food you order. They won’t let you down! I for sure recommend their passion fruit sangria, together with the cheese and ham platter. Oh my…! 🤤 I would come back just for those two things! I’ll be back, and I’ll bring my friends ♥️ Thank you for a...
