We ate here on a Sunday evening. The food was delicious and the service was very good. The menu is reasonably varied and is not your standard fare for the area. The maitre’d did a great job of explaining why the restaurant is different and...he was true to his word.More

Great find in Aveiro! I had a salmon black ink risotto–perhaps the best black ink risotto I’ve had thus far in the background of the picture). The salmon was nicely done sous vide style, topped with shaved fennel. My wife had a bass on a...green risotto with clams and a side of fried seaweed, topped with a citrus foam made out of lime, lemon, and orange juice—incredible! Highly recommended!More

We were in Aveiro just for a few hours, came into town to walk around and see the gondolas. We were unsure where to eat, the proprietor saw my husband and flagged him into the restaurant. What we ended up having was the absolute best...meal of our trip to Portugal! Grilled sea bass, risotto with seaweed/spirulina, lime foam, fried seaweed. Absolutely every flavor was unique and delicious. It was complimented with a cold glass of vinho verde. What a great treat!! We are still talking about it.More

We had a truly memorable lunch at O Bairro. Stopping in Aveiro on drive from the Douro Valley to Lisbon, a quick survey of lunch spots led us to this restaurant, close to the famous canals and the fish market. It exceeded our expectations. From...the moment we asked about a table, the friendly and hilarious staff treated our family of four with great warmth--even though our family had one unpredictable toddler who got fussy at points. We ate outside, and with little wait even during the lunch rush, we soon found ourselves enjoying their risotto and bass with seaweed two ways (risotto, a house specialty, was a particular high point). The scallop/mango appetizer was fantastic, and our children enjoyed the roast beef and children's fixed price menu (an incredible value). What was particularly notable was that all of the food was both delicious and prepared with a striking presentation--even for the children. We added two glasses of wine from local producers. With that, we had the most memorable meal from a 10-day trip that spanned the Douro Valley to Grandola. Highly recommended.More

Delicious seafood with risotto and seaweed. Food was fresh, hot and well presented. Services was prompt and pleasant. Prices were higher than neighboring restaurants but selection seemed better.

We were a party of 10 but were sadly disappointed. Service was slow in that we waited over 1 hour for our starters, however they were happy to sell us a lot of wine. The food was tasty but over complicated & lukewarm. My Prawn...Risotto was good but nothing special. There are a lot of better restaurants in Aveiro at half the price.More
