Restaurante Associação Naval do Guadiana

Restaurante Associação Naval do Guadiana sits inside the headquarters of the Guadiana Naval Association, on Avenida da República in Vila Real de Santo António, immediately south of the Guadiana recreational marina. The building was fully renovated and now houses a lounge-bar with a rooftop terrace open to the public alongside the main restaurant, both looking directly over the river and the moored boats. The kitchen serves a wide range of tapas alongside heartier dishes built around the region's seafood, including cataplanas, seafood rice and monkfish açorda. The lounge-bar runs from 13h to 23h and the restaurant serves lunch from 12h to 15h and dinner from 18:30 to 22:30, seven days a week. Being part of a working naval and rowing club gives the restaurant a slightly different character to the town's other riverfront dining rooms, with the comings and goings of the marina as a backdrop.
