What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about Hool Restaurante's impeccable gastronomic journey, highlighting concentrated flavors and creative regional dishes. While the food quality and presentation are consistently praised, some guests have noted that the service can be slow. The desserts, in particular, receive special mentions for their delightful and unique combinations.
"We had such a great time at Hool—the food is amazing. We got both the vegetarian and meat tasting menu (welcome + 7 moments for vegetarian, welcome + 9 moments for the meat based one). The service was impeccable, the food was phenomenal, an absolute gastronomic experience. The foods were paired so well, the flavor was so concentrated and immense, and the surrounding was picturesque. We cannot say enough good things about our experience and food. We got a bottle of top notch paired wine but they also have a tasting menu of paired wines for those interested."

"Enjoyed the experience in Hool.. Staff are so friendly and dishes are so delicious. As I cannot eat cheese, they offer an alternative dosh. It was so delicious. I appreciate they gave me lovely time. Worth a visit when you are in Guimãres!"

"Hool is excellent. The best food I have had in Portugal since I moved here 8 months ago. It’s also in a historical area of Guimaraes. I enjoyed seeing the little kids trying to catch the pigeons. I wish I had that much energy.
I went for the seafood options. They were all great, but the Tuna Starter was insanely good. The chef also treated me to some small bites to try along the way, but at this price point, that’s not unexpected.
I will be going back."
