Turismo
This restaurant, with its impressive statue of a Barcelos cockerel by the entrance, stands out for its modern architecture in the heart of this historic town, a location close to all of Barcelos’ main tourist sights, and its impressive views of the river. It is divided into three elegantly decorated dining rooms with a glass-fronted wine cellar at the heart of everything, but it is the energy of the team here that is particularly impressive. The menu follows traditional lines with a few contemporary touches in dishes such as the sautéed alheira with apple purée, the grilled octopus with potato
