“Flies more flies
I don't recommend eating cod with cream as it looks like wood glue mixed with potatoes and some cod is a terrible dessert.
I don't recommend eating
Another thing, so many flies, I didn't even have time to put food in my mouth, I already had to wave my hands because of the flies.
A shame
Price €18 per person expensive very expensive the Flies would be better to hire someone to fan Angolan style“

“I would like to share my positive experience at Solar dos Amigos restaurant. The octopus I ordered was delicious, perfectly cooked and very flavorful. However, I want to mention that the portions, although generous, are perfect for one person if you have a good appetite. It is an excellent place to enjoy well-prepared dishes in a pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant for those who appreciate good food and satisfying portions.“

“Excellent example of what the restaurant business should be all about! Food is simply perfect... flavors and textures spot on.Also a note to the very attentive service.Prices are higher than other options in the area, yes they are, but quality has a price.“

“Every year when we are on vacation in this area, Flavors of Italy is a must for me and my family.
Delicious dishes, elegant but cozy atmosphere and simply impeccable service.
What can you say about a place where they remember you from one year to the next and come to greet you... that I hope we repeat next year again.“

“An amazing restaurant right in the same property as the hotel we stayed at for a night. The lady who checked us in also ensured that we could get a table for dinner. We waited in the small room nearby and got to taste their wine while waiting for the table. The hospitality is top notch. The food was amazing and the quantity and what's included with the dish is so much that I had a hard time not wasting it. The quality and taste was so great that I could not stop. We had steak, tofu dish and veggie burger. The tofu dish was like the Gumbo taste and my daughter loved it. The veggie burger did not include the bun/bread but that made it more delicious. The steak was perfect and we got some greens, bread porridge and it was tasty and quantity wise more than what the three of us could feast on. We did not have any space to try their deserts and that was my regret. The staff were welcoming, amazing and attentive. The price was reasonable/ cheaper compared to other places where we tried similar food. Will return back if we drive through next time for sure“

“Fantastic service and could not ask for a nicer staff!
We ordered a pizza, some duck rice and starter salads. Pizza was ok and came with canned mushrooms which was a bit off. The duck rice was a bit bland and literally came with ONE piece of sausage. It was tasty, but could use a bit more duck and was quite dry.
We came as they were closing for lunch, so maybe next time we will come earlier as I feel it has potential for a great meal.“

“We had put it on our list of new experiences, the rest of Cairo had good references and we decided to have lunch on Saturday.
The restaurant is welcoming and the decor is pleasant and takes us back to all those Indiana Jones movies, we go in and feel at home.
We ate good Egyptian food with delicious hibiscus tea and delicious coconut baklava…it was wonderful.
The sixth star goes to those who served us with great friendliness, kindness and a joy that shines in our eyes.
Gratitude!!!“

“Sweet small vegetarian restaurant! Really good! We had a plate with a mix of some main dishes. The soup (no picture) was really good as well! There was free tea all the time and lovely service! We were in a queue in front of the store, so maybe it's a good idea to book a table before visiting the restaurant. Updated from previous review on 2024-09-15“

“A restaurant with a family atmosphere, as if you were at home. A feeling of giving to customers as if they were yours and your menu, wanting more.

I always highly recommend it. Congratulations to everyone and continue.
I wish you success particularly from Jbricolage, cadaval.“

“Our group was very large and, even so, there were no problems. The service was efficient and the food was good and in large quantities. There is always a bit of noise because it is a very large restaurant, with a lot of people, particularly groups.“

“Very beautiful restaurant and very good food. We loved the starters and main dishes. The only negative point was the dessert, which was clearly not of the day. We were advised by an employee and unfortunately it was a hard cake that didn't fit in at all with the good experience we had had with the meal. It is not good form to recommend a dessert that is not fresh. Apart from this unfortunate event, the experience was good.“

“Very good food and very well served. Great service, the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about all the dishes. Quick service and delivery of orders, even with a full house. Family and relaxed atmosphere. That's why whenever I come to Caldas, it's a restaurant I go to several times.

Dietary restrictions: Given my restrictions, I was always informed about the ingredients and execution of the dishes. They adapted whenever there was something I couldn't eat.“

“A fantastic place for lunch or dinner, the chicken is a real delight, the salad is amazing with that lettuce that tastes like lettuce.
Friendly and fast service, and on top of that great price.
A place to repeat without a doubt“

“Even if you are not vegetarian or vegan ? Try it! Being vegan myself I know how much work it is to make SUPER YUMMI vegan food ? It was
such a pleasure to have a break at Botellini while doing errands in Caldas - And I was so full I had to take the desert with me for later. Thank you! I will be back!

Dietary restrictions: Vegan. Oil Free. Sugar free.“

“Excellent food, from starters to desserts. Everything 5 stars.
The excellent company/friendliness of David, who opened the restaurant for 4 souls who were walking to Fátima and at the end of the meal even took us to the Moinho (also his) where we spent the night.
A GIANT Good Haja.“

“We ate Iberian pork and grilled salmon. Both very good. The side dishes and desserts are also very good. The white sangria is superb. Absolutely recommended. Too bad it was closed the next day for dinner (it was Sunday). Very kind staff.
Place off the beaten track and frequented by locals.“

“Good food, good service and good space!
?
Adequate prices.

Small points for improvement:
- they brought the 3 main dishes to the 3 people at different times.
- there could be plates on the tables to eat the starters.“

“Small typical restaurant in Alto da Serra in Rio Maior, consisting of three rooms decorated and decorated with typical objects from the region.Good atmosphere and excellent service from the staff, very friendly and professional.Plate of kebabs and another of cod à lagareiro style with crumbs generously served.As a starter, a board with a good variety of quality sausages, ham and melon.Dessert, a basket with a variety of sweets to choose from.The rooms, although small, are pleasant and user-friendly. In one of the rooms, at lunch, there was live fado.Great. It is recommended. It's worth repeating.“

“It was a very interesting experience. We were passing through the city and a little hungry but we had to make some time. This place was perfect, because the food was great (we discovered the famous farinheira there, which is a sausage here in Portugal that we saw in many places but had never tried), the service was great, very kind and helpful, and the place has a charm. Furthermore, it has a feminist touch that enchanted me!! I loved it and recommend it. Especially if you need a place to take a break between trips.“

“Great place for an easy lunch off the Praça da Fruta in Caldas da Rainha. Amazing Sardines fish was fresh and super delicious Great service people making you feel at home even though they are going crazy servingA must stop in the middle of Caldas“

“Thanks to the lady who runs the store today I was able to find where my ancestors lived. This speaks of his quality as a person. My heart bursts with joy and it gives me hope that there are still such good people. Thanks for your kind attention.“

“I had the pleasure of visiting this place, on a couples’ date. As it was a large reservation, everything was well organized, with a Valentine's Day theme, fast and super attentive service, classic Portuguese starters. Next, the main course was two dishes, mixed meat, where everything was perfectly cooked and juicy, with a classic accompaniment, and then came the feijoada complete with a different accompaniment, very light in flavor, I highly recommend it, a taste of home.“

“**Review of A Telha**

Nestled in the heart of Cadaval, A Telha is a culinary gem that promises an unforgettable dining experience. The location alone is worth a visit; Cadaval is a charming town that offers a serene and picturesque escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. If you are someone who values peace and quiet, you might even consider making Cadaval your new home.

From the moment you step into A Telha, you are greeted with warm hospitality and impeccable service. The staff is attentive, friendly, and genuinely committed to ensuring that every guest feels welcome and well taken care of. Their professionalism and courtesy set the tone for a delightful meal.

The food at A Telha is nothing short of spectacular. Each dish is a testament to the chef's skill and passion for culinary excellence. Whether you're in the mood for traditional Portuguese fare or something with a modern twist, A Telha delivers on all fronts. The flavors are rich and authentic, and the presentation is both beautiful and appetizing. Every bite leaves you wanting more.

One of the highlights of my visit was the unique experience of having lunch with the president sitting at the next table. This speaks volumes about the restaurant's reputation and the sense of community it fosters. It's not every day you get to dine in such esteemed company, and it added a special touch to an already memorable meal.

In conclusion, A Telha is a must-visit for anyone in or around Cadaval. The combination of excellent food, outstanding service, and a tranquil location makes it a standout choice. I look forward to returning soon and reliving this wonderful experience.“

“A very nice environment, with friendly service. The food was excellent. I chose grilled Bife da Vazia, a truly juicy meat. My wife ordered Arroz de Tamboril which was delicious as well. The day was hot, so the lack of air conditioning was the only set back. Anyway it is a really nice restaurant to go to.“

“We arrived as a party of six and order food and drinks , another group arrived and ordered 20mins after us, and you guessed it they got there food and had finished their meal before our starters.
Appalling service and the food wasn’t much better.“

“Excellent food in a small village (Imaginário) near Caldas da Rainha.
It's not the cheapest but it's worth every euro.
The restaurant has a rustic look and, as background music, we have fados playing on the radio.
Very welcoming.
The rojoada is very good and the dessert, something I don't know exactly what, is strange at first and then it sinks in.“

“Excellent place to eat in Óbidos.
Very delicious food and good service.
We tried the rice with mussels, the beef steak that has rice, potatoes and egg and for dessert the chocolate cake.
All very good and about €23 per person.“

“Located in the heart of the renowned Praça da Fruta, Citrus Coffee & Healthy Food is more than a simple pastry-cafe. It is a space with a unique concept in the city that offers a peaceful and cultural environment. On the 1st floor we find a very pleasant room, with good energy and where we have several books of various literary genres at our disposal. The concept of Citrus is also to encourage a more conscious and healthier lifestyle. And this is reflected in the various options of juices and smoothies, meals, salads, brunch, snacks, etc., personalized to the customer's taste and respecting food intolerances. The entire decoration and philosophy of the space creates an ideal atmosphere for sitting, reading a book, chatting and/or working with a tablet or laptop. The service from the staff is friendly and efficient. Good quality-price ratio. See you soon!“

“We happened upon this restaurant while out walking. It turned out to be a good restaurant with excellent service. They had several gluten free options for me, and I ended up ordering the sardines to try a Portuguese staple, while my wife had the cod. The waiter was patient in explaining how to eat the sardines. Everything was great and we enjoyed the experience.“

“I really enjoyed the experience, very good house-made garlic steak... Very friendly and attentive owner or manager, the rest could be more.... Regarding the final bill, I thought it was a little expensive for food that is steaks with a side of fries and salad.... But not unreasonably expensive.“

“My wife and I had recently lunch at this restaurant which was recommended by friends of ours. It is a good thing we booked a table as the main dining room was almost full and so was the outside terrace both with local patrons. We ordered mushrooms sautéed in garlic butter to begin with followed by Salmon for my wife and I had the Sirloin Steak Brasilian style. As desserts we ordered Torte de nata and Panacotta with wildberries. Overall the food was generously portioned and good. Typical local restaurant with no sophistication whatsoever even the Sirloin steak was topped with an orange slice! Just plain good food. Service was courteous and rather efficient. Overall a good experience as you tend to find in the "so called" best local restaurants.“

“Small Cossy restaurant,
Where we can rest
time for a pleasant moment.

Very good food and very reasonably priced
A small downside for the typical Portuguese dish but each has its own taste.

Pork cheek and neck a treat“

“A bit pretentious as its name suggests.
The prices are correct, but the tastes are nothing exceptional (it's still OK despite everything). And I was entitled to very fast service between the starter and the main course, but I waited a long time for the dessert.
However, the chocolate cake is really very good.
And the terrace under the lemon tree is just great“

“Typical Portuguese place where food and friendliness are valued. The prices are out of this world! I can't understand how they can make a profit when everything is so absurdly cheap. I recommend it to anyone who visits, as soon as you enter you will be warmly welcomed with an inviting smile“

“Well decorated restaurant, attentive and polite service, well seasoned and very tasty food.
We ordered the Steak with cream sauce and mountain cheese, the roast potatoes were wonderful!
The sangria is also delicious!

Kid-friendliness: My daughter really liked the Spaghetti Bolognese“

“If you find yourself in Caldas, I would heartily recommend visiting this wonderful restaurant. The decor is modern, quirky, but pays homage to Caldas history. The menu is European, with emphasis on Portuguese flavours and styles. Their sautéed mushroom and sweet potato with cheese has amazing flavours, the beef Portuguese style was superb, the asparagus risotto was delicious and huge!. Overall, this restaurant is hitting all the right buttons. The cost is incredibly reasonable..in Lisbon they could easily double their prices and no one would blink! Catch it now while they are here!“

“Restaurant located in the Old Tawn of Lagos.

We ordered 2 Portuguese-style cod that came with potatoes and vegetables.

The first thing of all as soon as you arrive is that they offer you the typical basket of bread and on the other hand, butter, olives and cheese. If you consume it, they charge you for it (it seems polite but it is not).

The fish was good and in abundant quantity, although it is not the best we have had in Lagos during our stay; even though it was one of the house specialties.

Dinner was around 25 euros per person.“

“En visite à Obidos, nous nous sommes arrêté dans ce restaurant (dans l'hôtel), buffet à volonté 15 € sans les boissons. Accueil excellent et souriant, vous vous régalerez des entrées, plats et desserts proposés. Je recommande *****“

“restaurante acolhedor e intimista com conceito interessante em consonância com o hotel em que se encontra inserido, staff atencioso e preocupado, comida confeccionada com produtos de qualidade, pratos bem apresentados e excelente paladar, o ambiente melhora com música ao vivo de fundo na sonorização perfeita, permitindo conversar mas desfrutar da música“

“I had an awesome experience! The owner was friendly and the atmosphere was great! We had good conversation and the owner explained the history of the place. The drinks were delicious with fresh juice. Great place with awesome history definitely recommend“

“Great buffet restaurant. Lots of variety of typical Portuguese food and desserts. Good presentation, order and cleanliness. The waiters are attentive and helpful. On Sundays there are musical performances. It has a large parking lot. The entrance is suitable for wheelchairs. Fixed prices, both weekly and holidays. The quality-price ratio is very good. Coffee and drink are included.“

“I come here every year without fail, mainly when I am going north from Algarve. The Sopa da Pedra is amazing and the rest of the food is also very good and cheap. I will let you in on a little secret, if you call beforehand you can give your name so when you get to the restaurant you don't have to wait as long. Reservations are a must if you don't want to wait 1 hour+. I recommend the Sopa da Pedra and the lagartos. The portions are huge so for I recommend taking the rests home. The bread is also very good and makes some killer sandwiches.“

“The restaurant has a unique architecture. The environment is pleasant. The food always exceeds expectations. And the customer service is of quality, in particular, the team demonstrates availability to attend to customer exhibitions!

Parking: Parking is ample with the possibility of accommodating hundreds of customers!“

“We had seen this restaurant tucked away off a main street so we stopped in to see if they could seat us on a busy Sunday. We were in luck! We had bread and olives to start, followed by vegetable soup then a platter of the chicken steak with mushroom sauce accompanied by the usual fries and rice. Everything was well prepared and very good. The chicken even had a bit of “char” on it! No room for dessert! What we saw coming out the kitchen looked really good, too! Quite busy so reservations are a must! Definitely will return!“

“Mandatory stop to taste seafood.
The little ones have bits.
Mugs of beer are always very cold (they are made of brass), toasted bread, the clams à bulhão pato are something that will make you salivate and ask for more, the fried shrimp is also very good.
Lots of diversity in seafood.
Spectacular service and always concerned with the customer's well-being.

Parking: Parking for around 10 cars practically in front and further on to the right there is also parking“

“Firstly, it is worth highlighting that the place is divided into 2 environments: the cafe and the restaurant. The cafe is a simpler environment and the food is also simple. The restaurant is beautiful and has a very creative menu. Everything we tried was great: provolone breaded with guava paste, katso sando, meat tartare and shrimp risotto. We were 2 people and it was too much food. 3 dishes would be enough for us to leave FULL. We took the risotto home and had dinner the next day. THE RISOTO INCLUDES CORIANDER! So if you don't like it, order it without. The risotto was overcooked and the rice was very soft. But we ate it all anyway because the seasoning was very good. It would be the only point they could improve. Furthermore, the breaded provolone is DIVINE! The katso sando for those who like oriental flavors and pickles is also very good. The tartar was also very good. It was a great surprise to find this gem in the city. We left very happy. And the price is very good.“

“Rooms are ok, it is a small hotel in a central, quiet location. Very clean. Breakfast was tasty, although limited, but completely sufficient. Parking garage 50 meters away, subject to charges. Nice personel. Inexpensive and highly recommended!“

“Very good steaks and a wide variety of snacks, in addition to a normal restaurant.
Plenty of parking spaces and decent toilets.
When I travel around these parts, eating at Bigodes is a must. One of the best steaks in the country.“

“I find the comments very harsh even if not everything is false. We come to this restaurant every year, it's a must stop. You have to choose your dishes carefully to have quality linked to price and more. Try the very expensive bitoque, it is ?.

€6 for a slice of frozen lemon tart? Ugh. Pay 3€ for a take away? Ugh
Starters/aperitifs at this price? Ugh

In short, it's not that bad, the decor isn't that bad either. Not that much of a wait, the servers aren't all bad on the contrary. The price ratio is not great but we come back every year ?“
