Portuguese Restaurants near Aguas, PT

“Wild boar! You just don’t get this on the menu back in the states. We had a late lunch here, but the dish of the day was still available. Stewed wild boar. We ordered the kids grilled pork and French fries. Authentic as it gets! The owner greeted us and served us our meals. While most tourists won’t venture out into the interior of Portugal, for those that do, stop in for a fantastic “home cooked meal”“

“To avoid a criticism intoxicated with the proximity to the experience we had, this time we allowed the necessary time to pass (around 15 days) so that we could make a raw and sincere assessment from a distance.

There are places that have the capacity to be oases in the places where they are established and Casa da Velha Fonte is clearly one of these examples.

If we divide the experience into a few steps such as Reservation, Reception, Tasting, Post Tasting and Post Experience Monitoring, our visit reached a level of excellence, which will remain in the annals of our memory until old age.

The Chef's attention to the fact that my wife was pregnant, the friendliness at the reception, the natural theatricality of the place, the surroundings, the symbiosis between chef Maria and Sommelier/Host Rui and of course, the quality of what we ate, were all incredible points.

May beings with this capacity for work and creativity be fed, because what we had was work worthy of a work of art.

I highly recommend visiting this place, but that you visit with an open mind and the ability to appreciate not only the quality of the food, but also the quality of the ingredients and the icing on the cake: the attention and care of this wonderful team.

Thank you from the bottom of this heart that was filled during the visit to your place.“

“Really great, beautiful little bar with an incredibly great outdoor area where you are rewarded with a beautiful view over the country.
The employees are super warm and nice, the prices are very good and the selection of drinks is quite large.
We felt extremely comfortable and were there 3 times and were also able to enjoy the sunset from the terrace. Absolute recommendation!“

“I don't know what they're going to charge me because I'm waiting for the coffee. So my opinion could not be more objective as far as quality is concerned. Environment of 10: healthy and hard-working people. Meal of 10: very delicious grilled meats. Sparkling white wine: I repeated a carafe. Delicious. The girl who served is lovely. Helpful and doing everything possible to explain the different dishes to me despite being from Galicia and half understanding. He was wearing a t-shirt with the legend “staff.” With people like this Portugal never disappoints. If you visit the historic villages of Portugal, do your best to eat here.“

“Very simple place but yet very good, the most flavoured food, great tasting, the bacalhau/Cod fish was the most tasteful thing ever, very clean I’m super satisfied, the dessert what’s tiramisu style home made and soooo good thank you for the kindest people that own the place!“

“Despite the first sensation of an area with little atmosphere, the quality of the homemade food is surprising, a welcome with an excellent homemade broth and a small plate of olives. Food of good quality, simple and traditional but with a touch of modernity.The place is cozy without frills but with taste and cleanliness.Certainly recommended.“

“Incredible restaurant. The food, service, and view were AWESOME! Our waiter was knowledgeable and with the help of our translation app, we communicated about my partner’s celiac/gluten-free dietary requirements. Delicious lamb chops - genuinely “
