When we think of a place to dine, we’re looking for more than just a meal. We want an experience that transports us and at Cais da Villa, that experience is guaranteed from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave.
Located in a former goods warehouse at Vila Real railway station, Cais da Villa welcomes its customers with an architecture that blends the classic and the contemporary, where everyone is greeted with a smile and excellent service.
Your dining experience begins with a selection of starters that awaken the senses. From fresh salads with local ingredients to gourmet appetisers, each option is designed to prepare the palate for what’s to come. An unmissable recommendation is our “Game Puff Pastry”.
The real star of this experience is the main courses. With options ranging from meat to fish and vegetarian options, there’s something for all tastes. The “Rodovalho, bivalve and crustacean sauce” is a highlight, prepared with sautéed Transmontano shellfish with vegetable brunoise. For meat lovers, the “Confit Maronesa veal neck with celery purée, broad beans, asparagus, mustard sauce and fried potato sticks” is an irresistible choice.
To round off the meal, Cais da Villa’s desserts are a treat for sweet lovers. The “Toucinho do Céu with orange sorbet” is a perfect combination of textures and flavours, ending the gastronomic experience on a high note.
One of the highlights of Cais da Villa is also its extensive wine list, which includes national and international labels selected to harmonise perfectly with the dishes on the menu. Sommellier Guilherme Pires is always on hand to suggest the best combination, making every meal even more special.
