“ For sure one if the best portuguese, real portuguese restaurants in Coimbra. Great food, well done, excellent service, simply great! Went there three times in thd same week! ”
“ Excellent typical Portuguese food. If you want "normal" dishes, without fancy innovations, but tasty and very well made, this is the place to go. Place is cosy and the staff very polite. ”
“ The food is really really good. Quality wise is definitely one of the best restaurants in the city. The extremely tranquil and docile atmosphere, along with a constant silent make this restaurant idea for a couples' night. The staff I'd nice and competent although I wouldn't call them light-hearted. The downside is the price. It really is a bit on the expensive side, although some dishes, like the shrimp with turmeric and the stone cooked stake are well worth it. ”
“ I ate here 2 times now, once alone and once with friends. Atmosphere was great and staff very friendly and helpful. If you don't speak Portuguese it's not a problem, at least one of the staff speaks English. One day I tried a fish dish (one of their specialities with bacalhau) and the other day a meat dish (bife Portuguese). The bife was very nice and the bacalhau was amazing. Will eat here again! ”
“ Delicious food and big portions. We had a mix of grilled meat served with fried potatoes and portuguese dish containing rice, beans and meat. It is for two persons but it was a lot. ”
