  • 1. Chaxoila Casa de Pasto

    $

    This family-owned restaurant 3 km (2 miles) from the center of Vila Real, on the main road to Chaves, has been open since 1947 but has kept up with the times in terms of decor, presentation, and service. Tasty starters here include bacalhau and chickpea salad, and tripas (tripe) dishes unrivaled by nearby venues. Meat-centric mains—some of which may be ordered in half servings—range from garlicky alheira sausage served with sautéed grelos (turnip tops) to beef-and-chestnut stew, or roasted kid; there are also hearty fish dishes. This is also a good place to sample regional wines and desserts.

  • 2. Solar Bragançano

    $$

    In an old mansion across from the old cathedral, this family-run establishment starts you out with a complimentary aperitif in the wood-paneled reception area lined with antique bookshelves. The place is imbued with old-world elegance, from the ornate silver candlesticks to the fine crystal and lace tablecloths. The menu features house-made starters such as alheira sausage and regional dishes that include pheasant, javalí (wild boar), and cabrito assado (roast kid). For dessert, try the pudim do Abade de Baçal, a chestnut-based take on caramel pudding. Reservations are a good idea on weekends, especially in summer.

  • 3. Terra de Montanha

    $

    With tables nestled inside oversized wine barrels, Terra de Montanha has an interior design that's as memorable as the food. Try excellent house specials such as bacalhau com presunto e broa (cod baked with cured ham and cornbread) or a well-flavored meat dish such as joelho de porco assado (roasted pork knuckle). They serve dinner until late here—almost midnight on weekends.

  • 4. Restaurante Típico Dom Roberto

    $

    The wooden sign and the rustic balcony outside this delightfully rustic restaurant in Gimonde, 8 km (5 miles) east of Bragança may remind Americans of the Old West. The menu features regional dishes such as alheira sausage and posta à Dom Roberto, the house steak, as well as local game. For dessert, try the creamy rice pudding or local cheese with homemade compote. If you feel like staying over, guest rooms (€57) in the attached apartments have a rustic feel, but also mod cons.
