We got scammed cause we paid for big beers (50cl) and we got half of them in other containers (33cl). The waitress told us that she knew those containers were not as big as the ones we ordered but that her boss didn’t care about the size. However they required us to pay immediately by refusing credit card payment while we had a 60+ euros bill. In one word avoid !

Excellent lunch with friendly service try the dessert of the house! Pleasant location in main square

Fantastic reason to visit the beautiful town of Vila Viçosa. Genuinely friendly staff whether you order a coffee or a full meal. Excellent menu with good vegetarian options. Very reasonably priced for the quality and presentation. Have taken various friends who now each describe it as 'our restaurant'. If you like lamb, the shank that they serve will delight you beyond expectation!
Vegetarian options: Good selection

I like to visit here each time I'm in Portugal. Its a lovely place, the staff are so friendly, theres a good choice of food and drink which is all delicious as far as I've tried. There's a relaxed atmosphere and they're just as happy for you to sit with a coffee as spend hours over a full meal. Dogs are welcome in the outside area too.

Had lunch here a couple of weeks ago. Excellent food and service! Lots of choices and the chef was willing to work with my wife who is vegetarian.

Love the white sangria. Losbter/shrimp rice and the pork cheeks are just delicious.

Get the Lamb shank.. Incredible. Went back the next night had dovish soup.
We went here for lunch. It was a good lunch. They had two black pork secreta entrees on the dinner menu so we went back for dinner, just for the secreto. No disappointment here. If you have never had secreto, which is a rare thing to find in the USA, you are in for the experience of an eating lifetime. It is a “bacon steak,” but made with black pok. It transcends any pork experience you’ve likely had. One plate was served with homemade potato chips and a tomato Midas. The other came with a bread dish kind of like a twice-baked potato but made with a bread boule. Don’t worry about the side dishes. They are great, but the pork is the star of the show, whether served with citrus wedges or a fruity plumish reduction (basaltic, maybe?). Good wine list as well, with lots of selection, and good local wines available that perfectly complemented the black pork secreta. Best ever.

Great place to hangout in one of the most beautiful cities in Portugal, in the city centre of Vila Viçosa. A great view to the medieval castle, home of great views to the great plaza and city centre.Great food and wide variety of drinks. Don't miss the Restauração.

It looks like a tourist trap restaurant but it's actually pretty good. The food took a while to come but weren't in a hurry and the restaurant was very busy.Probably stick with the daily specials.

Quick service, good quality traditional food. Ok priced. It was very hot so we ordered just appetizers. I forgot to take a picture of the gaspacho that was welcomed on a very warm day.
Fantastic. Get the empanada! Really amazing.
