Vinhos is outstanding in every way. I wish they were a chain. Fresno needs this type of venue. Great ambiance, staff & owners are attentive and the food & drinks are exquisite!! Keep up the great work!

Vinhos is a gem on Main Street! We happened upon this lovely place looking for a good meal and we're big fans of tapas. We stopped in just before 6:00 and we're greeted by a friendly woman getting the restaurant ready for opening. We later came to find out she was an owner. She was so sweet and offered to seat us before the servers actually showed up, as they had worked a local event that day. The waitress soon came and our wonderful experience began. They have a great wine list and wine cocktails. We ordered three dishes and were pleased with the presentation and flavors. Pica-Pau - a traditional Portuguese dish with beef and spices in a delicious broth. It's served with bread for soaking up the broth. I really enjoyed this dish, especially the broth. Crostini di Mare - shrimp on crostini's with a tangy garlicky sauce on top. This was my favorite and I wouldn't hesitate to order this again. Sea Legs - octopus over a sweet potato mash. This was tasty as well and the octopus was cooked perfectly. The sweet potato mash is divine!! We also had a Caprese salad, pretty average, but nice presentation. The outdoor seating area is comfortable and so nice to people watch on the main drag. We really enjoyed ourselves and plan to go back next time we visit. The service is excellent, portions in line with tapas and atmosphere is great.

What a lovely and fun place. Owners are super sweet and knowledgeable of their wines, and I happened to find this on karaoke night, so a pleasant surprise as well. Would recommend anytime.

My fiancé and I had stopped by when waiting down main st after watching a movie and we heard karaoke so we were very interested in checking out the place. As you walk in, you are obviously ID'd which is great and a responsible thing of the owners. The owners Michelle & Andre were absolutely amazing! They showed us such hospitality, Michelle even sang karaoke with us & they made everyone who's was there feel like a safe place where you can be yourself, have a good time & enjoy wine! The only little down fall is the waitress we had didn't really know much about wine but we learned together and she was so sweet. Overall, I think the place is gorgeous and I'm so proud of a fella Portuguese family from the acores is bringing such a beautiful and fun business to little old Merced with their dishes, wine & vibe!

I am so grateful to Michelle and Andre for bringing Vinhos to our community. Such a superb wine bar with a wide and exquisite selection of wines and also delicious tapas prepared by Chef Michelle. I have tasted all the items on the menu and they are all exceptional.I’m addition to the wine and food Vinhos offers a diverse selection of entertainment; jazz, pop, karaoke, comedy, fados and more. I always look forward to an evening or morning brunch at Vinhos. It has become my place to relax and escape to.
This place is always packed on Friday and Saturday nights! My mom and I came in on a Wednesday evening and it was a great vibe. Andre, the owner, showed us class and hospitality and was helpful and attentive. Michelle, the chef, was extremely classy and served us delicious food with finesse.There's a huge selection of international wines to choose from. My mom ordered the Moscatel dessert wine and I ordered the White Blend from Spain. I enjoyed my wine and if you're a sweet tooth, dessert wine is the way to go!We ordered the Spicy Moroccan Lamb Meatballs with some cornbread and really enjoyed it! I do think the dishes are slightly on the pricier side, but the quality and finesse of the dishes makes them definitely worth it. Our meatballs were so soft and tasty. And we couldn't help but finish all the leftover sauce it came with by dipping our bread in it!I enjoy the vibe of the inside. I love all the blue dim lighting and there's even a small stage for folks to perform on busier nights. The patio is in a prime spot if you wanna enjoy the sidewalk vibes, especially on a Friday/Saturday night or on Thursday's if downtown is hosting a street fair! Def coming back!

Definitely a great vibe ! A nice wine lounge with delicious food & wine pairings. I haven’t tasted a wine I didn’t like here yet & I try something new every time I come. The owners are very humble, professional, & the customer service does not disappoint ! I definitely recommend this place to others & they love it as well !
