About Buxa
Buxa is a Portuguese restaurant in Guimarães, right on Largo da Oliveira. With over 1800 reviews and a 4.4-star rating, it's clearly popular. They're open most days for lunch (12-3 PM) and dinner (7-10 PM), though Thursday is closed. The place has a trendy but casual vibe, and they lean into the 'historic' location. You can grab a quick bite or settle in for a full meal; they do offer table service. What's cool is the rooftop seating and live music. They have your usual Portuguese fare alongside a good selection of beer, wine, and cocktails. It seems welcoming to everyone: families, groups, the LGBTQ+ community, and tourists. Plus, they are wheelchair accessible, including the entrance and seating. I didn't find the vegan options particularly impressive, it's more of an afterthought. Also, the service can get a bit slow when it's packed, especially on weekends.
