Restaurante Mardentro — Restaurant in Viana do Castelo

Overall the experience is good, the food was great, the prices are very high and the service was terrible. We were a big table, the restaurant was full and the weather was kinda cloudy and hot. Our waiter was an older man most of the time. We were by the window and were really hot and opened the window, the waiter asked to shut it because he was frozen, we were shocked because we couldn’t breath properly and that’s why we need the window open. I asked for a wine, branco alentejano which is branco maduro but maduro is mostly alentejano and the waiter tried to shame me in front of the all table because of this mistake and in the menu it says that the maduro that they have from the house is alentejano. Then, I was still finishing eating and the table had finished already but we were all talking and that waiter came with two other waiters lifting up the whole table leaving only my plate to let me finish eat and pressuring me. It was 2pm, no one was waiting for a table and the restaurant closed at 3pm, it was still full with people eating, they could have waited 5 minutes to let me finish eating and then starting lifting the table. It was an incredible...

Overall nice experience. Very cozy place by the sea! Waiters not overly friendly but still OK. Got a lot of prawns I didn't ask for. Good but maybe you don't feel like having a large plate full of prawns each time you eat there. Later I was told it's a Portuguese thing - If you don't want them you should tell the waiter right away or put them aside untouched. Had mussels which were very good. Got the feeling that all seafood was very fresh and nice. We also took a bottle of the house white wine which was slightly sparkling and actually rather good, even though being the less pricier of the different alternatives. Not a cheap place but normally really nice seafood isn't usually cheap...
