Yum. Thank you, mspath!2014 in Viana do Castelo I ate at 2 wonderful places: Casa Primera where fisherman ate delicious huge portions generally of fish and cheap; more upmarket but with a simple daily menu was O Laranjeira. The dining room was handsome with white linen, the Portuguese food creative and delicious. ...These remain delicious memories.

Albertinho,There exist two places with the name O Laranjeiro in Viana do Castelo
A bigger hotel and a smaller pensão (pension / boarding house) I think you mean the pensão due to “ the diningroom was handsome you mentioned.
we stayed in the pensão what was great.
Yes the blue linked one was it.Albertinho,
Yes the hot link in blue refers to the small pensão. My husband and I stayed and ate very well there. Glad that you also enjoyed it.
I don't know if you can still tour it, but if so, the tour of the hospital ship Gil Eannes is great fun, fascinating, and gives a real sense of the average person's life in Portugal in the 50s, 60s and early 70s. Fishermen would leave, to fish off Newfoundland on the east coast of Canada, for the entire season, fishing in tiny dories.Also in VdC I've always found the history of this ship and cod to be a fascinating account of renovation and repurpose.
I've walked these caminos sooo many times I should know where to eat well! Here's a few...Walking is man's best medicine.

Wondering if any experienced folks out there have recommendations for restaurants (I eat everything, except Jello), and/or sights to see, experiences to have?
Thank you.

Thanks, ICBWB. If you have a few spare hours in A Guarda (and still possess some energy after a day of walking), you might also consider taking a quick taxi ride up the hill that overlooks the town and visit the ruins of a first century B.C. Celtic settlement: https://www.turismo.gal/que-facer/top-ten-dez-lugares-unicos/castro-de-santa-tegra?langId=en_USMuch appreciated, kenwilltravel.
