Portuguese Restaurants near Alpiarca, PT

“Although the owner didn’t speak English and we couldn’t see a menu, that didn’t stop us having an excellent lunch! We ate fish, local sausage and chips, all simple but cooked very well. The place is full of characters, nice and rustic with great service. Great spot by the river.“

“A very popular joint with the locals, there were about 10 to 12 people dining at 6pm. Good size portions, nice robust house wine and friendly service. Maybe we were really early, but they fast tracked our dishes as we had to catch a bus...a well done steak and fish fingers... and boy the steak was good...

Kid-friendliness: They have 2 to 3 options for the kids“

“The food was great, the grilled dishes were fantastic as were the side dishes.
The staff was super attentive and friendly, always available to help.
Super comfortable and lively environment

Vegetarian options: They are very flexible when it comes to individual dietary restrictions, replacing meat with eggs, for example.

“We are a French family who don't speak Portuguese and despite that we had a really great time.

The waiter was very very nice and thanks to him we managed to eat very well.

The portions are very generous, we didn't finish everything but shared with what we had left in the dishes.

Obrigado ?“

“As I am a carnivore I had one of the meat dishes, and really enjoyed it, but I think the lovers of fish will really have a feast here!!! Everybody who entered asked if there were sardines, so they must be delicious ? Don't miss this place if you are in the neighbourhood!!! Thank you so much to all the people who run this place, you are doing a great job!!!“

“We purposely traveled to Santarém to go Ó Balcão. And what a gastronomic journey. Using local products (and valuing them) is an added value. From the snaks (all), starter (creamy crab), main course (gratin and cheeks) and desserts (old-fashioned coffee and not everything is lemon) everything was good! Congratulations on the atmosphere, service, friendliness and, of course, the meal!“

“Tasko da Adega in Fazendas de Almeirim was recommended to us as having creative cuisine that was different from the usual cuisine found in restaurants in a location like this. Opened at the end of 2021, within a traditional style, it hired chef Goncalo Reguinga at the end of 2023 and in a joint effort (with chef João Poeiras) they are introducing some new features to the menu, particularly in the starters.Nice room within the traditional register. Sturdy but not very comfortable tables and chairs.Hardworking, friendly, efficient, and very familiar service.The charter has been subject to a recent change. Concern about using local products, and with zero waste. The main highlight is the starters, some of which are quite innovative and justify our several visits. Most starters have unit prices which makes ordering easier.Our preferencesVegetable pani-puri €3.5 totally out of the boxCod sandwich €4, all the ingredients are normal but the end result is surprising.Oxtail tartlet €4.75 a sweet “torricado”Cinnamon flour with honey €8Fish from the garden €7 “real” green beans in a very crunchy pome. Fabulous and no creativity here, just product and technique.Stuffed mushrooms €9.5. Some of the entries are a 9 from our perspective.The dishes include a piece of sausage (2 people €38.5) and razor clam rice (2 people €26). Respect for regular customers “limits” the creative freedom of the kitchen, remaining traditional. Understandable, but here we are at 6 or 7. One of our solutions is to opt for more starters and skip the dish.Desserts include a seasonal fruit tartlet (strawberries with lemon caviar from Jardim do Sardao) €4.5 and a French toast €5.25. We are leaving the traditional register again.There is a desire for change and innovation and from what we understand it is being well accepted by regular customers. For us too.Wine list poor but also changing (in the coming weeks). Adequate prices for weak glasses.

Vegetarian options: You have to ask

Parking: It's easy to park at the door“

“When you arrive, don't be surprised to wait, go with time and good will. A restaurant, with well-prepared home-cooked food, don't expect excellent service, expect the service that you can kindly get because the house is always full and there are just two of them for so many people. Good food, wine by the jug or a good wine list. Anyone who likes to eat can eat right here.“

“Best place for a brunch in Santarem
We ordered sweet potato pancake and the Cafe de Manhã and you can see all the dishes on the photo - didn't expect to have such a huge meal and of such a good quality! Everything was perfect and we got a very warm and friendly service
Highly recommend“

“The food, grilled secretions, came with extra pepper. Unnecessary.The employees do what they can and are very friendly.Having to eat on the terrace in the cold is not pleasant and just because I didn't have much else to do, I accepted. As you can see, the fact that they had a reservation for 2.30pm made it impossible to eat in the room. At 2:40 pm when I left the restaurant, there was still no one from that reservation. Strange....Payment with a piece of paper left on the table is no longer used. Having to pay at the counter is also outdated and I waited almost 15 minutes to pay.Wondering if I'll stop again...“

“We arrived as the restaurant was opening for dinner and the waitress was so nice to us even though she was finishing her snack before the restaurant opened. We had the frango which was absolutely delicious. We will be back to break up our drive to Algarve.“

“Splendid. A very cozy restaurant, located in a very large space, with excellent conditions, well presented, with a very involving and familiar atmosphere. Clean and organized. The service, from reception to payment, very attentive and perfectionist. The friendliness and good mood reigns from the kitchen to the customer's table. You can "hear" the love given to each dish made.The food is great, perfectly cooked and in the right portion, you don't go hungry or leave leftovers. Great.Unfortunately, it's not easy to find, but it's easy to find. Congratulations. I wish the good continuation of this house because there are few like that. ??“

“Spectacular treatment, attention and quality. We went for dinner, and the owner treated us and our little one spectacularly. YouThey made an incredible homemade burger (which they didn't have on the menu). Very good and secret cod too. It all comes accompanied by roast potatoes, homemade potato chips, vegetables... amazing!! Thanks a lot for everything !“

“From the food to the service, the great house red wine and in the end the amount to pay... I just don't give it 6⭐️ because it won't let me. We were a work team of 4 people doing 700kms and still 100 miles to go to our destination. We stopped by chance here at 9:45 pm as everything else was closed. We asked if it was still possible to have dinner and we were given excellent service. I highly recommend“

“Mega ??? I haven't had such good burgers ? in a long time ? the kitchen is open so you can even watch it being prepared. The price-performance ratio is more than fair.
The store looks rather inconspicuous from the outside, so we almost didn't go in. But really great! ??“

“A space that already looks like a "simple" village cafe. Upon entering the large hall. Two ladies staff the entire salon, but you don't have to wait even 1 minute. They work, but with a contagious smile, a unique friendliness. The dishes were the dinner mix. Between ordering and arriving, 3 minutes was too much. Exceptional flavor, with fries, salads and if you want rice. Saying that it is food as described.... Dessert, one tastier than the other. There was mousse, egg pudding, tiramisu, and rice pudding, all very good. Drinks included, all at €13.

Parking: When you enter the street where Google signals, you go left, not right as indicated. On the left side there is parking, but there are also spaces in the surrounding area, but the busy restaurant fills up quickly.

Kid-friendliness: There are high chairs,

Wheelchair accessibility: It has entrance for people with disabilities and each bathroom has“

“We just ate 4 people. Homemade food, attentive in explaining what each dish included, friendly. Good service and special mention to Claudia's sweetness and attention. Highly recommended

Dietary restrictions: We asked for a gluten-free option.“

“I didn't spend the night but I thought the food was good, the scenery was very good, the staff were very polite, but when I was eating I noticed an animal that looked like a cockroach, which brought the rating down a little.
I thought this goat was very creative“

“It deserves to have more comments than it does. Maybe it's because it's not touristy and the typical Portuguese don't have the habit of writing reviews, I don't know. What is certain is that it serves typical Portuguese food with large portions and an excellent quality/price ratio. We go frequently when we are visiting Santarém. Always good service and good food. It is also suitable for large groups and families, it even has a semi-enclosed space with a swing and slide. One serving is enough for 2 and the starters are great too. Basically: I advise.

Kid-friendliness: It has a large space with a slide and swings. Great

Wheelchair accessibility: Perfectly wheelchair accessible“

“Satisfactory restaurant. The squid and prawn kebabs came without the kebab stick. I like the traditional way better. The food was good. The room is large and very echoing. The interior of the kitchen is visible from the dining room. The house sweets were very good. The paper with the menu is not personalized. It's the ice cream menu with the menu written by hand in slightly faded ink.“

“A discovery, I passed by, but I decided to return, I was doing the Camino de Santiago, and I was not wrong. The cod was delicious and in large quantities, the waitress who served me was very friendly and very professional, and the man who showed me where to sit was very attentive and pleasant. I will definitely repeat.“

“Excellent experience! The attention and availability of the staff helps a lot to make us feel taken care of during the meal. With the courtesy of an appetizer from the Chef, different every day, we recommend the wild mushroom risotto, which is absolutely delicious, and the desserts (brownie and Basque cheesecake).“

“(Translated by Google) The best seafood in Almeirim and surroundings! Always well received, always well served. Highly recommend.(Original)O melhor marisco de Almeirim e arredores! Sempre bem recebidos, sempre bem servidos. Recomendo muito.“

“(Translated by Google) A top ice cream shop. All products are Top. The service provided by Filó and Catarina is 5 stars. I recommend(Original)Uma geladaria Top. Todos os produtos são Top. O atendimento da Filó e da Catarina é 5 estrelas. Recomendo“

“I visited the space when I was passing through Santarém!Pleasant space, well decorated and with a cozy atmosphere. I noticed that there were people much older than me and quite young people in the space, which makes the space a place for all ages.I ordered a slice of spinach cake and a coffee - what a delight!I was well attended by the employee who was very friendly.Well located and with plenty of parking at the door.“

“Authentic experience, nicest staff we met on our trip (now 6 days in), they didn't have the fish so we took grilled chicken, which had best price-quality. We paid €25 for 2 people, had some bread and olives to start with, grilled chicken with fries and tomato, chocolate mouse and pudding with caramel, plus plenty of wine. Would totally recommend if you're a person who doesn't need a Michelin star and can appreciate the local culture.“

“Great spot. Excellent service.
Regarding the food, I was displeased, as it was very different, for the worse, from the last time I had lunch there. The stone soup had much less meat and sausages. The dishes came with meat cooked in a different way. We were very displeased.
Next time I go to Almeirim I will look for another restaurant.“

“I only noticed that the bread wasn't what was used in the past, the bread was toasted on the fire where the cod was roasted and was drizzled with olive oil, that was the real torricado, the rest wasn't bad, it's a shame there wasn't parking , it is difficult to find where to park.

Parking: It’s difficult to find a place to park there isn’t one ?️“

“This is one of those snack places that I highly recommend.
I went to Santarém 3 times and every 3 times I had dinner at this place because snacks are my downfall.
There's not much to say about this place, everything is perfect.
I'll be back as soon as I can.“

“I had roast chicken for lunch, well roasted and nothing else to highlight. Spare ribs (Pork Ribs) soft, tender, falling off the bone and barely breathing on it, but without soul. I thought the price was a bit high for the food. The lady who served us was kind, even for her patience in putting up with my nephews.
Lunch on the day of the blessing of the folders.“

“I have been a customer for many years. Piglet never disappoints. And the giblets rice too. I can't forget the farofias with egg cream. And the staff are five stars. Today I was there and as they hadn't seen me in the last few months they threw me a party. It's a place where I always feel good.“

“(Translated by Google) The idea of ​​Sushi does not seem to me to be successful. I love Sushi (seriously sushi, full of wasabi, no fruit, no Europeanisms, thanks to a workshop I did on Sushi) but Sushi deserves its own atmosphere, just as Silas Chef has his own atmosphere, based on steaks. Ahead, taste, ready!!!(Original)A ideia do Sushi não me parece bem conseguida. Adoro Sushi (sushi a sério, carregado de wasabi, sem frutas, sem europeísmos, por força de workshop k fiz sobre o Sushi) mas o Sushi merece um ambiente próprio, assim como o Silas Chef tem um ambiente próprio e em função das bifanas. Adiante, gosto, pronto!!!“

“An excellent home style prepared in a timely and perfect way A good wine selection but their house red is also very nice. At the moment is a one person show with Maria doing everything. Prices are also very good and is recommended by the Hotel UMU next door“

“It was by chance that I chose this restaurant, it was very positive…
We ordered stone soup and a dose of febra for two, the employee was careful and honest to suggest only half a dose of febra!!! Nowadays it is difficult to find restaurants with this mentality, as they just want to make money and end up with unnecessary food left over!! It was enough and very good!!!“

“We've been here for lunch quite a few times, the daily menu is quite affordable, the soup varies from day to day and each one is better than the other. The dishes are very well served, and are very well prepared. I recommend the place for its friendly service, good food and good prices.

Parking: Parking is open, on dirt, but there are still plenty of spaces“

“This amazing family place was wonderful!
The atmosphere was so authentic and the food was the best ?
The best part was the couple that own the place, they were so nice and welcoming and really made our trip to Golega even better . No doubt that talking with those nice people it's part of the experience.“

“Taverna do Quinzena, SantarémFriendly service and very tasty and traditional food.I had a starter, scrambled eggs with farinheira, olives and bread. The dish was one of the day, a chunk of winey veal, which came with rice, French fries and stewed vegetables, carrots and peas.For dessert, a delicious almond cream.I recommend booking.“

“5 stars because it's the most you can give
Welcoming staff and quick execution of orders, excellent food, quality, perfect price, we will definitely return ❤️, I will recommend it to all our friends, customers and suppliers“

“(Translated by Google) One of the best meats I've tried so far in Portugal. Sirloin steaks in generous portions and crispy fat on the outside, at a wonderful medium-to-bad point.(Original)Uma das melhores carnes que já experimentei até agora em Portugal. Contra-filés em porções generosas e gorduras crocantes por fora, num ponto médio-para-mal maravilhoso.“

“Excellent! The day of my daughter's ribbon burning, we were a group of 26 people, we booked in advance and the service couldn't have been better. We stayed on the terrace (covered, a very pleasant space with all the conditions). Food 5⭐️, varied starters, homemade food, delicious with careful presentation. Main dish also to everyone's liking, nothing to write home about. Discreet, available and always attentive staff. Congratulations to everyone, thank you very much. I recommend.“

“(Translated by Google) Best pastry shop in Santarém.The famous pampilhos, celestial and shivering are the ex-libris of the city.(Original)Melhor pastelaria de Santarém.Os famosos pampilhos , celestes e arrepiados são o ex-libris da cidade.“

“(Translated by Google) I spent part of the afternoon working at this place, they were very friendly, the prices are affordable, the cappuccino was not the best I've ever tasted but it had a good quality/price ratio, the pastel de nata was really good!The place is nice, fresh, not too noisy and clean!It is a pity not to have a terrace(Original)Passei parte da tarde a trabalhar neste local, foram muito simpáticos, os preços são acessíveis, o cappuccino não foi o melhor que já provei mas tinha uma boa relação qualidade/preço, o pastel de nata estava mesmo muito bom!O local é agradável, fresco, não têm muito barulho e é limpo!É uma pena não ter esplanada“

“This score is rare but in fact very...very good.Service, availability, preparation very good.Fried eels are among the best and the eel stew is divine.Next visit soon will be stew.I can't say better than the people who accompanied me.Congratulations to the kitchen.

“The food is excellent, the fish was very hot and super tasty, the rice was also normal, the house was clean, the bathroom was clean, it was clear that it was a few years old and could possibly be updated, but nothing that would take away the desire to return. The atmosphere was a bit odd as there was only one other table of "local boys" in such a large space. But the most important thing was the food which was very good and the service was 5 stars.“

“Pleasant and safe environment.
Excellent service. Good food, good service...
Possibly the best "pork secrets" in Ribatejo and surrounding areas...
On Sundays an EXCELLENT Portuguese Stew...
A place to visit...“

“Had a full 5 star experience at this place
Sat down for a beer and appetizer
Then had some fresh oysters, then had some Cherne grelhado which was Devine!! And top it off with baba de Camelo desert

The service was friendly, the atmosphere was fantastic. Great restaurant, highly recommended“

“Delicious everything. I loved the pampilhos although they are forceful. If you like the flavor of egg and cream, this is your dessert. It's very sweet. I personally liked it a lot.The cream puff pastry is also delicious and the egg palm tree is also delicious.Very friendly staff.You have a terrace, although we have been inside to be cooler.“
