Bastardos - Vila Nova de Gaia

Perfect place. We were welcomed very kindly and professionally (despite the lack of a reservation). The owners are passionate about cooking and care about details and customer satisfaction. The food is delicious. I highly recommend to feel the atmosphere of Villa do Conde from the kitchen

A wonderful restaurant with pleasant and welcoming staff. The menu changes weekly, offering a delightful variety for locals. If the ceviche is available during your visit, it’s a must-try!

This is an absolute must. Great food and wonderful service. A favorite. My wife and I thoroughly enjoy Bastardo's

What a surprise it was. A little restaurant in a narrow alley but a huge explosion of all senses. They have dishes from all over the world in a perfect fusion of tastes. Beginning with the thai black bread with a fried shrimp and veggies, followed by other appetizers that were also delicious. As mais course I had a fantastic Nasi Goreng also with shrimps. My colleagues had meat and fish dishes, all sensational. The deserts were amazing. And I had the best wine I ever tasted, a 4,4 in Vivino, a OPTA Grande Reserva 2017. It’s a mind blowing wine.

I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Warm welcome, friendly service. Business ran with passion and heaps of creativity. I was told the food menu was changed weekly and had to listen to the waiter recite everything that was available. I would have ordered every single item if I had the space. Started off with a nice cold and strong cherry beer. That warmed up the chilly February evening. For starters went with oysters and the prawn bar buns. Absolutely divine. The choice of main courses all made me salivate but decided to go with duck breast, with cranberry sauce, asparagus and mash potato with added spicy curry. The combination was unexpected but the collage of flavours was something remarkably good. All of that complimented with a glass of nice red wine from the servers recommendation. Finished off with cheesecake and a scoop of red fruit ice cream. Portions are good , you won’t get stuffed which is perfect because you want to try everything they have to offer. Without much beating around the bush this was probably the best meal I’ve had in Portugal and I’ve been coming here since 2012. Hands down you have to try this restaurant.
