Ponte de Pedra Gaia — Restaurant in Vila Nova de Gaia

We went here last Sunday in August 2025. It was our first time and luckily we had a table available. Before entering, we already knew that we should expect to pay 10 - 15 euros per person without the drink. And yes, it was correct.

Location The location is in Vila Nova de Gaia on our Arrábida Shopping.

Staff The staff always showed welcoming gesture, friendly, and nice.

Price The price is a bit expensive compare to other restaurants we usually have.

Food We ordered 1 dose of chicken which costed us 22 euros with batata fritas, rice, and salad. The grilled chicken was tasty and delicious. The rice was super good. A can of ice tea costed us 2,20 euros. We could not eat all the food and we aaked a box for take away. And yes, they charged us 1 euro for a small box and a plastic. The portion of grilled chicken is enough for 2 person. We politely asked not to put the entranda which would cost us 22 euros. We also asked to remove the olive oil and bread from our table which would cost us 4 euros. It is not mandatory to eat these entrance, it is better ask to remove if you do not want to eat.

They have indoor and outdoor seating.

The other part of the restaurant is for take-away.

They accept payment in cash...

Don't go there if you don't speak Portuguese. Below is the complaint that I sent to this restaurant which was ignored.

Today (30 September) waitress with blonde hair who was working in the outdoor part of the restaurant during lunch was rude to me. She was very impatient, she was annoyed when I didn’t understand that she wanted me to move my mobile phone. I don’t speak Portuguese. She was again annoyed when I started searching on the internet a dish that was on the menu. Then she started laughing with other customers about me not knowing Portuguese dishes. She served me not very warm fish.

This isn’t first case of unprofessional behavior of your staff. Couple days ago one of your waiters was annoyed that I didn’t understood what he said was on the menu and I asked to...

Me and my friend found this restaurant near our accommodation on June 27. I can only give a 2/5 for flavor, the pork ribs are oily and bland. The fish is burnt and a bit bitter. What make matter worse, my friend and I ordered two desserts, and we both sick in the evening. I vomited violently and had diarrhea until the next afternoon. I feel very sick when I think about the food in this restaurant. It made me miss all my schedule in Porto!!! It's July 1st now and my stomach is still weak. I can only give this restaurant a score of 0/5. If anyone wants to experience diarrhea, go to this restaurant. I wouldn't look at this restaurant even if I was starving to death in the desert.
