LUMA Brunch Restaurant — Restaurant in Viana do Castelo

Há muito tempo que andávamos à procura de um bom sítio para um brunch. Encontrámos este por acaso na sexta-feira. A senhora foi muito simpática e avisou-nos que estavam muito ocupados (era o Dia da Marinha) e que poderiam passar 40 minutos até termos a nossa comida. Decidimos ir embora porque estávamos com fome, mas olhando para os outros menus nas proximidades, voltámos dez minutos depois porque queríamos mesmo um brunch.

Estávamos à espera de esperar muito tempo, mas a comida chegou poucos minutos depois das nossas bebidas. Comemos ovos benedict, um com salmão e outro com bacon, e um wrap de falafel, e batatas fritas. As batatas fritas estavam fabulosas. Na maioria dos sítios as batatas fritas são cozinhadas a partir de congelados.

Depois, para a sobremesa, dois brownisu e uma tarte tatin. A comida estava absolutamente deliciosa. As minhas desculpas por não ter tirado uma fotografia, mas estava demasiado ocupada a comer a comida maravilhosa! Era fresca, saborosa, com ovos estaladiços cozinhados na perfeição. Ficaria surpreendida com a quantidade de chefs que não conseguem escalfar um ovo corretamente.

Este foi o melhor brunch que já comi em Portugal e voltaremos novamente. Os funcionários foram adoráveis e prestáveis, com grandes sorrisos. É uma mudança muito agradável em relação ao nível habitual de serviço e atendimento. Desejo-lhes a melhor sorte para o seu restaurante e voltaremos a ver-nos em breve.

We have been searching for a good place for brunch for a long time. We found this by chance on friday. The lady was very friendly and warned us they were very busy (It was Navy Day) and it could be 40 minutes before we got our food. We decided to leave as we were hungry, but looking at the other uninspiring menus nearby, we came back ten minutes later because we really wanted brunch. We expected to wait a long time, but the food arrived a few minutes after our drinks. We had eggs benedict, one with salmon and one with bacon, and a falafel wrap, and chips. The chips were fabulous. In most places the chips are cooked from frozen, and are terrible.

Then for dessert, two brownisu, and one tarte tatin. The food was absolutely delicious. My apologies that I didn't take a picture, but I was too busy stuffing my face with the wonderful food! It was fresh, tasty, with perfectly cooked runny eggs. You would be surprised how many chefs can't poach an egg correctly! This was the best brunch I have ever had in Portugal and we will come back again. The staff were lovely and helpful, with big smiles. This is a very pleasant change to the usual level of service and care. I wish them the best of luck with their restaurant, and we will see...

Absolutely stellar experience at Luma!

This small, family-owned gem is lovingly run by a young husband and wife duo, and their passion shines through in every detail—from the warm welcome to the beautifully prepared dishes. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the service is both friendly and attentive without ever feeling rushed.

Now let’s talk about the food—incredible, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The ovos rotos are a must-try: perfectly cooked eggs over crisp potatoes with savory flavor in every bite. The eggs benedict are divine, with silky hollandaise and perfectly poached eggs that melt in your mouth. And don’t even think about leaving without trying the frappé moka—it’s rich, refreshing, and the perfect finish to your meal.

Don’t hesitate—Luma is absolutely worth it. A true standout run by people who genuinely care about what they do. Highly, highly...

Food is good. The sandwiches are not the standard ones that you find in Portugal even if they are standards elsewhere. They're also well done. Pricing is also not standard for the Portuguese culture. You're going to pay extra for these well done, but not standard for Portugal sandies. If you are feeling a hankering for good fries and a club or pulled pork and don't mind pay 12 eur then good. Honestly, a great bifana or nailed steak sandie is just as good or maybe better at half the price elsewhere. So really consider if you want the price tag. You're paying US pricing for this food, but if you are hankering for great for that's uncommon in Portugal, you can't go...
