Hi RJC - thanks for all the info and pictures. I will be in Braganca for 2 nights with 8 friends in mid June and would appreciate any information regarding the best places to eat and enjoy a few beers & wines. We are all 50+ but enjoy good food and wine. Any ideas gratefully received to save wasted time.
This is "the" place:

If only stay for 2 days probably only will need one meal

Ask for the house wine, red or white are both great, and the private Port wine witch is delicious.
Just at side of the restaurant are typical houses with multiple rooms for accommodation.
