About Sala141
Sala141 is a intimate tapas restaurant in Guimarães centro where contemporary Portuguese cuisine meets relaxed hospitality. The kitchen—run by a husband-and-wife chef team—crafts dishes that punch above their weight: ceviche with fresh mango, organic green asparagus (described by guests as Michelin-level), pintxos, and inventive tapas like shrimp tacos and blue cheese with figs, all made in-house. The wine list earns particular praise, anchored by local Verde selections curated by co-owner André, whose charming, attentive manner has become part of the draw. The room itself strikes a balance—elegant yet unhurried, with good music and a welcoming energy that appeals equally to solo wine-sippers, couples, and groups. Repeat visitors from across Europe return annually, and the venue punches above its 4.6-star rating in a crowded local dining scene.
