CVA Restaurante e Bar em Matosinhos

01/06/2025: Confesso que fiquei admirado com algumas avaliações, porque achámos a comida ótima e a equipa que nos atendeu, muito simpática. A espada frita estava ótima.

15/01/2025: We were touring the island and needed to find somewhere for a late lunch so we turned off the main road towards Porto da Cruz and parked up. We wandered down to the beach area which was full of surfers and came across this restaurant just behind the beach. It was quiet on a Thursday afternoon but I imagine it gets very busy at weekends. Outside there is a large number of tables on both sides of the restaurant in a wide open area. Service was quick despite there being only one waitress serving. Considering the appearance of the place the food was surprisingly good - excellent grilled trout, sardines and meat stew. The chips were also crisp and fresh. To drink we had beers and some inexpensive but nice white wine. We were very pleased we decided to take the detour and it was fun watching the surfers afterwards.
