Taverna Vaca das Cordas

One of the best steak dinners! Flavor was amazing. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great meal. Service was also outstanding and we enjoyed the horse theme of the restaurant.

This restaurant in Ponte de Lima was a very pleasant surprise. To summarise, the food is very good and the staff are very friendly. As for the details... here they are. We made a reservation at this restaurant because we expected it to be full. And we weren't wrong. When we arrived we had our table and from then on we simply enjoyed ourselves. Our starter of "Patê de Alheira Fumada" was divine - it was to die for. Our main course was "Bacalhau à Isabelinha" and it was equally fantastic. The quantities of food are very generous indeed, and although our main course said it was enough for two people, the feeling we got was that it was enough for at least three. The space is very pleasant, well decorated and well integrated into the history and culture of Ponte de Lima. Definitely a place to recommend!

I can't stop saying good things about this restaurant. Excellent food, great service, and price on target (around 25€ average with entrees and desserts). Specialties include the cod with mashed potatoes, and the lemon tart. Not to be missed!

Amazing. Top quality food and service.

Really exceptional food, very tasty , we had steak platter and a appetizer that was bits of beef and mushroom in a tangy gravy that I loved. The place has a bullfighting theme that may not be for all but the food and service are well worth it

Beautiful place to eat, the service is excellent and the food is tasteful and rich. Totally recommended!!??

The place is modern, cosy and beautiful. It is located in the center very close to the river. The staff is super friendly very professional and makes you feel at home. The food is awesomely cooked and presented. Very good quality and quantity and a fair and accessible price. I tried the home made paté and it comes with some good surprises like thyme, and small but strong cayenne pepper for those with enough courage to eat them. For the main dish i ate a big steak served with vegetables, beautiful potatoes and pineapple wich goes super well with the meat. The decor is bullfight related and it has everything to do with the dishes that are served here. Highly recommended!

Probably the best beef I’ve ever eaten

The food is always good and the waitress who usually attends us Sandrinha is absolutely lovely and so attentive. We will always eat there. Eddie & Alejandro.

Very good traditional Portuguese gastronomy, the bacalhau was amazing and the meat outstanding. Highly recommendable. Greetings from Asturies!

You’ll be amazed, excellent restaurant where you would not expect it. I had one of the best veal steaks ever. You should also try the starters and the deserts!!!

I love this extremely authentic restaurant with photos of the bull running through the village. The selection of meat is really nice.and the meat is excellent.
