Restaurante Zefa Carqueija — Restaurant in Viana do Castelo

A wonderful dining experience. Queues out the door for takeaway, needless to say the Churrasco is exceptional. But the restaurant is seriously worth a visit. We enjoyed wonderful service and hospitality from the gentleman serving. The chicken was delicious! Served with pickled vegetables and chips. A spicy sauce on the side for a bit more pep.
